Area 1 delegates rap proposed tuition idea; resolutions forwarded for state conference To resist the proposed higher education tuition and to adopt a policy of a free press from administrative censorship were two major decisions by the Area I student. government delegates Friday. The Area I California Junior College Student Government Association conference was held at Palomar Friday afternoon and evening. CJCSGA State President Bruce Reumont from Cerritos College welcomed the students on behalf of the state organization. Other state officers attending the conference were Mike Hertica, Executive Vice President, from BTC Long Beach, Gary Craig, Executive Vice President, from AC Long Beach, and Vicki Parton, Secretary, from Cerritos. Steve Wozniak served as President of Area I; with Nancy Hicks acting as official secretary.
Following the opening session in P-32, and Dr. Frederick Huber's welcome address, the delegates adjourned to their workshops. Topics for these discussion groups were "The Role of Faculty and Administration to Student Government," "The Role of Campus Organizations," "The Changing Student," and "College Tuitions." Each workshop had two sections which, following dinner in the student union, merged into a joint workshop. At this time resolutions were presented to the floor for discussion and voting. All resolutions and recommendations were submitted to the resolutions committtee headed by Pat McArdle. An additional workshop, President's, was not split into two groups . This section was chaired by Steve Wozniak. Another student, Bill Mason, was in charge of the College Tuitions (B) workshop.

After a thi rty minute school-caucus, the gene11al assembly reconviened where dittoed oopies of all the resolutions and recommendations were distributed. This session was the business meeting when the proposals were brought up, discussed with two pro arguments and two con arguments, and then brought to a vote. The general assembly adjourned 45 minutes ahead of schedule, a contrast to the fall Area I conference at MiraCosta where all recommendations were not covered in the time limit. Other resolutions passing dealt with the establishment of a committee to determine the adequate composition of committees which are delegated by the CJCSGA and a committee to study the feasibility of hiring and Executive Secretary.

He also stated that "The Fine Arts Guild can however be reinstated if and when they follow the appropriate channels for readmittance, and follow further directives of the Inter-Club Council." "Earlier this semester the Student Body Council voted to appropriate $250 for sculptures and as an organ of the Art Department, I feel that having given them the funds, they should at the very least send a representative to the ICC meetings every Thursday," commented Strong. Last Fall, four clubs were suspended from the ICC: Baptist Stud ent Union, Ixthus, Wesley, and the Young Democrats which reorganized at the beginning of this semester.

Palomar's only successful resolution concerned the free press and was drated by delegate Penny Hill. The resolutions if they are of state wide interest, will be drafted to the CJCSGA State Conference in Los Angeles. The resolutions will be discussed in the President's workshop and if they s uceed, will be forwardep to the general assembly. If the entire assembly approves them, they are sent to the California Junior College Association for committee consideration, then to the CJCA assembly floor, they along with other resolutions, are entrusted to a lobbyist who presents them to the legislature for committee consideration.

No one would disagree that a play has one unchanging necessity: players. This obvious fact is being flaunted to the upcoming production of Shakespeare's "King Lear." The production, opening March 30, s till needs 12 men. Principal charactor roles have already been cast and the number of actors is now 20, says drama instructor Frank N. White. White also stresses that there are a full dozen roles still unfilled that are very important. Persons interested in one of these roles can contact White at his office in P-8 or in the drama lab, P - 33. Most of these roles are non-speaking ones, and some will not require reporting for rehearsals until March 27, following Easter vacation. Early contact is urgently requested, however, since costume fitting must be done as soon as possible to allow the costumes to be sewn. White reports that the other aspects of the production are progressing very we 11. The stage and stage properties are ne aring the final steps of preparation. The touches are near enough that posted warnings in the drama lab now remind stagecraft students to fulfill their required hours without delay or expect to soon find that there is not enough work left for the requirements. The scaled down replica of the 17th century Old Globe Theater's wooden, two story, multi-roomed stage is a blonde curiosity of plywood and beams. It will soon be ready for its camera portrait, and then for the public audiences March 30 . 31, April 1, 6, 7, and 8. The evening performances will be at eight. On Saturdays a five p.m. matinee will prece ed the later performance.

The code states, "No publication of a sectarian, partisan, or demoninational purposes in any school, except that nothing herin shall restrict the development and use of school library collections... '' It was pointed out that section 8454 is closely r elated to this section and was amended in 1963 to exclude junior colleges. Since the two sections were dependent on one another, the assembly voted unanimously to endorse the proposed amendment.

Yesterday the Faculty Senate gave unanimous approval to a resolution supporting the students• 11:00 free hour. Because of dissention in some departments, the Senate appointed an Ad Hoc committee to investigate the problems created by the free hour. The committee spent three weeks hearing cases from the administration, faculty and students before formulating its suggestions. The underlying reasons for the desire to c hange the "no classes at 11:00" policy were scheduling of classes, cafeteria traffic at 11 a .m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and building usage. Kirby Cox, chairman of the committee, stated in his presentation to the Senate yesterday that "the committee feels that at the present time the utilization of plant is not a justification for changing the activities period." The committee felt that there were certain problems in some departments, but these problems did have possible solutions. The resolution states that the committee strongly recommends an increase in the number of Tuesday and Thursday, one and one-half hour classes, an increase in the humber of afternoon classes, a decrease in the number of 12: 00 classes on MWF , and a master schedule constructed by one individual with computer assistance. By following these suggestions, the departments would not have an overload of morning classes, be encouraging stu-
dents to s t ay on campus longer, and encourage more of a 5- day campus . Other suggestions we re to increase utilization of the extended day p r ogram and to limit in s ome way the number of continuous classes for both students and instructors . The resolved clauses read: That the Palomar College Faculty Senate affirms its support of the student activities program. Be it Further Resolved: That the Faculty Senate of Palomar College recommend to the Administrative Council a policy in which the 11 a.m. hour on MWF be maintained as a student activities period with absolutely no classes scheduled for this time, and that the T- Th 11 a.m. hour be maintained as present with classes scheduled if necessary. Members of the Ad Hoc committee were Kirby Cox, Richard Norlin, Everett Robertson, and student Penny Hill. Additional legislation passed by the Senate included an approval of the California Junior College Association resolution expressing its support of the tuition- free philosophy of public education in California. The resolution carries the same feeling, although stated in stronger terms , as a resolution passed Friday by the California Junior College Student Government Association Area 1 delegates here at Palomar.

Disneyland trip the substitution for Annual Spring Formal Disneyland's March 18 Spring Fling will replace the annual spring formal this year. Glen Sak, ASB Social Chairman blamed the lack of planning time for the change. He stated that he "couldn't get a hotel in April or May'' and that since the El Cortez was the only alternative during vacation, "it would have given us only 13 days to plan'' for such a gala event. Tickets will be on sale today and tomorrow in the student union from Glenn Sak for $5.00 a person. All students (day, evening, and limited) may purchase a ticket and they are not limited to boy-girl couples. Assorted color balloons are also on sale which advertise
the event. The tickets include admission to the park, dancing, and unlimited use of the rides. Big name bands are billed playing a variety of music from the " watusi to Lawrence Welk Style ." $13,000 in prizes including a new red cougar, steroes, and motorcycles are offered. The Fling begins at 8 pm and lasts until 1 pm. Bus transportation is provided for those who bought their tickets by Monday. New Crown Coach buses recently purchased by the school will be used for the trip. The buses will leave in time to arrive for the beginning of the Fling. Students may drive if they wish.
The "rebirth" of the Student For um was witnessed by representatives from the San Diego UNION and San Diego EVENING TRIBUNE and Byron Peterson of the Republican State Centr al Committee. The topic was "The New Governor," which the students took liberty to · interpret as an opportunity to say anything they wished about Ronald Reagan. The Forum was remarkably different from last semester's; the participants numbered in excess of 50 (rather than in excess of 5,) almost all of whom had some opinion to express (although many opinions were expressed simultaneously,) and the students did .not fall into the trap of only covering one issue or one side of the issue as they had done in past meetings. There were so many issues brought up that each was discussed quickly in order to get to the next subject. Chairman Ted Konoposis attempted to direct the audience's collective thought to one subject toward the termination of the session. Some of the numerous topics discussed concerned budget cuts , property tax cuts, other ways of raising monies for the state, the handicap or advantage of tuition, the Governor's attitude toward public as compared to private education, admissions freeze, transfer of monies from one state fund to another, loans and scholarships, and even the proper pronuniciation of the Governor's name. Unanious consent was given to a suggestion that called for students to use the form the governor used, Ray-gan (as opposed to Ree-gan.)
The discussion was lively although sometimes without order. ASB President Ed Johnston open the meeting with a short reading of part of his statements in last week's TELESCOPE. He called for student responses to his statements, and, receiving no voiced objections, proposed that his s tatement be the official Forum resolution. Immediately differences of opinions were expressed. The floor see mea most t requently held by an "on- the- defensive" Ed Johnston, ASB Vice President Jim Strong, and a "highly excitable" David Harame who even had to slow down his speech for the audience to understand him. Many t imes it was all three at once, giving the impression of a three ring circus. The meeting was highlighted by the concluding, researched statement of Marc Kester that it was interesting to note that in this issue, as .in student government, the ASB President and the ASB Vice President were not in agreement. Apparently the students thought the Forum has adequate justification for continuance, for they were in agreement (on this matter at least) that "The New Governor" topic should be extended and further dis ucced in more detail tomorrow. Part of this success may be attributed to a large percentage of new Forum participants not familiar with the past semester's Forum participation codes and by- laws. The guests must have very much enjoyed the political Forum; they left smiling.

Post-Forutn Smirks insult Palomar By Jay Carter "The guests left smiling." That's the final sentence to the Telescope report (see page one) of last Wednesday's Student Forum. It would be nice to say the grins on those faces were pleased and thoughtful ones. It would be comforting, too, to think that those countenances bode future forums fair omen. This kind of optimism has got to be very desireable, but whether or not it is accurate is open to question. "Will the student forum be so stimulating that enough students are drawn into the present tiny core to finally maintain the regular meeting of this arena?" This is the question that crops up after every meeting. It is the after question, the before question, and the question whenever the forum is mentioned. It is the question suggested by the smiles. The observers who the reporter thought she saw smiling, may not have been smiling at all. What she saw probably were slightly nauseated grimaces. Even if they were smiles, they could have been motivated by the desire to be polite, or the irony of the contrast between the heated and excitement of the three ring circus effected by three people the aid of perhaps ·twice as many, to the lack of information. Factual argument obviously, no absolutely, emphatically demands information. By very definition factual argument requires information before all else and before a discussion can make discernible progress. This is doubly true when the topic at hand is a controversy as clouded and complex as Governor Reagan's educational policy. The debator's last Wednesday had just enough information to hang themselves in the eyes of our visitors. Everyone
of them called on information that was consistently left unsubstantiated and was, just as consistently contradicted by the unfounded remarks of his opponents. How many dollars will the proposed tuition bring? Is or is not the money going into education? Dozens of this kind of basic informational questions were raised and left unanswered. Not only were they left unanswered by but no one seemed to acknowledge these gaps. Thus the potentially intelligent discussion collapsed to collection of brave remarks. This was the jumble that earned the grins, which were really silent, but sadly definite commentaries. This was the flotsam that received remarks, unearned or otherwize, about the intelligence level of Palomar students. Disturbingly enough they came both from various students and visitors. I like to think that the aspersions on the intellectual quality of the Palomar student are grossly unfair. Given the incentive of excited, but meaningful debate, students can be aroused enough to seek out the information and actively formulate and reformulate their independant opm10ns. In its turn this meaningful debate must be the result of persistent dialogue, alertly conscious logic, and deliberate preparation. Opinions are ideas to share and the are of communication and the skill in formulation thought go hand in hand. If the effort is made to communicate, I propose progress will be made and this dismal picture of Palomar intellect will be brightened. Brightened in the minds of outsiders and ourselves. Dig into the newspapers this afternoon kids, and tomorrow have a crack at Reagan education and our vindication!
Delegates Spend Tune and Money By Penny Hill Since much money and time is spent on student government conferences, it's too bad that they don't serve the purpose for which they were developed.
PENNY HILL
The college "legislators" meet twice a year in their areas and twice a year in the state-wide conference. The majority of the students going to Area know little about student government, the California Junior College Student Government Association, resolutions, parliamentary procedure, or about the functions of their own college. The workability of CJCSGA is based on this combined knowledge; without it entire assemblies can become one babbling, confused, frustrated group rather than a learning and understanding bopy. A typical example of this was Palomar's delegation at Area 1 Friday. The fault is not really the delegates'. They tried. However, what was not attempted was a briefing session to even vaguely inform the delegates of what would happen. If such things as parliamentary procedure are to be followed, it would be nice if the delegates had some background in it. Apparently they were not aware that during the general assembly if there was need for a caucus, it was only 30 seconds. Therefore, during the 30 minute school caucus, they did not understand why certain of their constituents were desperately trying to explain resolutions stemming
from their workshop which would be brought upon the floor. By explaining them ahead of time, confusion and frustration would have been limited. When the 30 second caucus was granted, the delegates had to decide their vote and try to understand the proposal rather than report their yes or no vote to the delegation head, who was also trying to make a decision. Another reason to be informed on the entire conference was that Steve Wozniak, past ASB President, is Area 1 President. Having a delegation in the assembly that is not aware of what is happening is frustrating enough, knowing that it is your school can cause dismay in a president. The most obvious solution to the problem would be to have a briefing session or two before each conference with past delegates explaining the prupose , procedures, and functions of the organization. Before the delegation going to the state conference in Los Angeles leaves, the representatives should be aware of the Area 1 re.s olutions which will be presented, realize what happens to the resolutions, and be prepared to discuss school policies. For the San Francisco conference, one college even gave an examination to their delegates which made it necessary for them to know the school budget, all the ASB officers and their duties, ASB Committees and their functions, all academic departments, and various other details about the college. They were then prepared to give answers that would help other delegates formulate a perspective of their own school. Palomar does not have to give such a comprehensive examination, but it should realize that the delegates are going to gain little from conferences if they know nothing about them to begin with.

AND A WOMAN: a story of love
In this world of war and shame, Claude Lelouch's A MAN AND A WOMAN, restores to mind the often forgotten story of love. Lelouch should take all of the credit for this supberb cinema. It is his story, adaptation, directing anddialogethat sets mood in this visibly beautiful and technically exciting show. The story revolves around a simple plot, but in Lelouch's telling, French film fans know they are seeing a movie and not a play adapted to the film medium. A man and a woman, he who is a racing driver, and she who is a film editor, both suffer the misfortune of being widowed and meet at a school their children attend. With fate playing its role, the two fall in love and eventually triump over the memory of her first husband. This saddeding memory almost brings the pair to departure. However as the old saying goes, love conquers all; in the end they reconcile their thought of abandonment. The colors of this classic are pure and delicate when the woman and her daughter are on the pier at Deauville. This manner of bright color proves to be true throughout most of the show,
yet when the man and his son are seen drving a car on the beach, the color turns to a copper cast. In the act of physical love, the color tint bleaches almost entirely out of the film, and enteTs into it, a harsh, naked light, taking over from the rick, peach-pink glow of love attempted. The performances of Anouck Aimee and Jean-Louis Trintigant are warmingly convincing. The pair act as an intensly self-concious duo and at the same time a feeling of envy reaches up from the audience and covers the atmosphere of the theatre with a blanket of admiring looks and thougmts that come from within the spectators who seemingly savor the high style of acting that is involved. One of the many high spots of this delightful doing is when these two attractive people are clearly improvising their dialog, and Miss Aimee insists that editing is more interesting than acting, and than Trintignant is handsome enough to be an actor. All of this is very simple, yet turns to realism when shown on the screen. However everybody, especially Claude Lelouch, has a great deal to be shown on the screen.

The Bond: An infur1nal Post -morte1n By Steve Woodall About a hundred and fifty people sit in the padded chairs rising above the cement lecture space in room P-32. But this is not a psychology or political science lecture; the people are not students . It is February 24, and the ocassion is a film-illustrated lecture by Harry Sternberg, an artist of some national repute who is now living in Escondido. The people are a heterogeneous blend of community citifrom retirement communities and trailer parks in Escondido and Vista, Culturally Aware mothers who dragged tenyear-old sons and daughters to give a dose of the Finer Things in Life -mush as one might drag a child to the doctor's for a penicillin shot-- hoping that the kids would develop some kind of magic immunity from the evil forces of comic books and rock-and-roll (I don't imagine that these antidotes are too succesful), American Gothics cheaply dressed who left their pitchforks on the ranch back in Valley Center. And other typical citizens of our community. Sternberg spoke briefly, then showed his film, which was designed to point out the similarities between art and music. Paintings flashed on the screen in rather rapid succession--old masters accompanied by Beethoven, abstracts and Bartok, surrealism and Varese. "Yes" Palomar College Feb. 28 bumper stickers were distributed afterwards, and people went home feeling very much like connoisseurs of the arts. The important thing is that intellect was stimulated that Friday night; there is not enough of that kind of cerebral excitement in our community. And that is one service that Palomar
There was excellent press coverage by the San Diego UNION and the San Diego EVENING TRIBUNE at our last meeting. This type of publicity lets the community know how we feel, and gains respect for Palomar College and its responsible, civic- minded students. It is hoped that the political clubs on campus will introduce a formal statement of position to help guide the debate tomorrow. If you are free at 11 tomorrow, bring you lunch with you and come to the Forum.

The first Student Forum of the new semester which took place last week was a moderate success , with about 50 people in attendence. It was decided that the subject, ''The New Governor,'' should be re-examined this week in a narrowed form. The students of Palomar will again have an opportunity to express themselves and formulate an offcial position, this Wednesday in F - 22 at 11. The topic this week is, "Ronald Reagan and Tuition.'' It is suggested that those who wish to participate in debate come with some documentation to make their presentations more valuable.
College performs. But those were only 150 votes. A HARD DAY'S NIGHT AT ELECTION CENTRAL I drove out to the college on election night, about 9:30, not really knowing what to expect (unlike most people, I cannot say that I knew it was going to fail all along). As I approached the room where votes were tabulated, I listened for victory cries and champagne corks popping, but I couldn't hear anything that sounded like celebration. Inside, there were about 50 interested citizens, made up mostly of bond promotion committee members and members of the Palomar College administration. James Soules, the vocational education coordinator, was chalking up precinct totals on a blackboard while someone tabulated vote totals on an adding machine. People were saying things like, "You can't always tell. There are still some big precincts to go." Later in the evening, when there were no more large precincts uncounted, the members of the committees that had worked on promotion for the last couple of months were trying very hard to laugh goodnaturedly. But they weren't very sincere. Their laughter had kind of a tinny ring. They were remembering to eachother the election that was crushed in '52, or some such year. In the room next door, Pete Brown of the San Diego Union was interviewing President Huber, who looked very tired. The bond had not even acheived a majority, to say nothing of the twothirds margin it needed. A committeewoman had a ready excuse. "I knew it!" she said. "We didn't make enough phone calls."
New paperbacks and RAMPARTS Have you seen the new shelf of paperbacks in the library? It is located on the north wall and contains over 400 titles. These books were received shortly after Christmas and were shelved immediately upon receipt. They are not being held until catalogued and are available for use. The books are shelved by subject and include the following: mysteries, science fiction, westerns, general fiction and cartoons, Science fiction is the largest category with 192 titles. Science fiction titles include Children of the Lens, Skylark of Space, Skylark Three, Skylark of Valeron. Authors included in the collection are Edward E. Smith, Heinlein, Hoyle, Robinson and A.E. Von Vogt. Paperbacks of this nature that were donated to the library were formerly given to patrons. However, the library staff decided to experiment with these books because of interest shown by students. The library also has another addition, this one in the periodical room. It now subscribes to RAMPARTS magazine. It was RAMPARTS that started the Kennedy probe and the furor over the CIA's activities in student organizations. One student even donated a current issue which the library did not yet have.

Palomar's Pat Farner Claims 1967 State Championship
Sports Talk An
editorial response to Mesa By Buzz Ponce
J
In reply to Mesa College's John Britton, who scorched Palomar College in a recent editorial appearing in the OLYMPIAN, the school's newspaper, the TELESCOPE staff wishes to extend his question, "What is the goal of college athletics?'' and answer the problem, which was a written account of the Palomar-Mesa wrestling match in which the Comets wrapped up the Pacific Southwest Conference championship, by saying it is not what the editorial proposed it is. Editor-in-chief Britton, who seemingly has the wrong idea of intercollegiate athletics, blasted Palomar coach Mack Wiebe for, "action which was determental to the entire concept of intercollegiate athletics.'' Britton accused Wiebe of several other injustices with the main emphasis put on Wiebe's action of forfieting the heaveyweight contest. As every Journalist knows, or should know, before writing critically of something or someone, he should first check out the facts. It is obvious to the TELESCOPE, as well as the Comet wrestling squad and close associates of the team, that the OLYMPIAN editor failed to "check out the facts." Britton charged that when Palomar amassed enough points to cinch victory, mat coach Wiebe suddenly forfieted his heavyweight class, leaving Mesa heavy Denver Williams with nobody to grapple but himself. The Mesa editorial continued with the idea that Wiebe had taken away Williams' chance for, "fastest pin of the year, improvement on his take downs or any number of things." ' If editor Britton had remembered his first journalism class, he would have thought to "check out the facts" and try to discover the purpose of cancelling the final match, rather than coming to his own absurd idea of selfishness on Wiebe's part.
The true matter of Brittton's "problem" rested merely on the fact that Wiebe had no heavyweight wrestler to tangle with Williams. Although the Comets treked to the Mesa campus with visibly a full squad, Palomar's heaveyweight participant was nothing more than a spectator. A student and wrestling enthusiast who on occasion worked out with the champs, yet never in his life performed in a collegiate wrestling match, Wesley Czech filled in at the heavyweight slot solely for the purpose of providing Palomar with a heavyweight wrestler.
The situation encountered here, editor Britton, is a case of instrumental planning and superb stradegy on Wiebe's behalf. Not something that is "detrimental to the concept of intercollegiate athletics." The OLYMPIAN'S charge that Wiebe's action "serves to question the validity of intercollegiate athletics '' is an acute fallacy. ' The Mesa editorial's concept of thinking· follows in the lines that intercollegiate athletics are designed merely for profit of individual rather than profit of team. As early as Little League, youngsters are taught that playing for the team is the utmost goal, not playing for youself. As far as Denver Williams and John Britton are concerned, they have been so distraught over their team's inability to socre a victory that they would forget Williams' chance to improve upon his own recognition. Beyond a doubt, the supreme height to climb in intercollegiate athletics is the steep road to conquest on the teams part; not the downhill crawl to personal satisfaction and glorification. It is the TELESCOPE'S idea that Mesa College, specifically its newspaper, the OLYMPIAN, merely had the terms Intramural athletics, and Intercolligiate athletics confused.
Farner was the only wrestler from the Pacific Southwest Conference to take home a first place . The highest finisher was Jim Finster, third place from Mesa. Farner, in fact, is the only wrestler in the PSC to take a first place at the State Championship since 1961. John Mitchell, Palomr's 137 pound whiz, lost in the second round to Russ Simpson, from Fresno, first place finisher in the Regionals, o·n a fifty-six second pin. Simpson was the eventual third place finisher. Mitchell advanced into the second round by defeating Wendell Jefferson from Laney, who was 3rd place finisher in the north section regionals. Doug Sholders, the third wrestler who advanced into the Finals by taking a third place at the Regionals was soundly beaten in the first round by Pete Laughton from Chabot, second place finisher in the Regionals. Chabot took home the first place trophy for team standings. There was a total of forty-six colleges represented a t the State Finals, with some coming as far as Sacremento, San Jose, Sierra, and San Joaquin Delta. San Bernardino Valley College brougnt the largest continquent from the Regionals to the Finals-- the whole team. In the Regionals they had a total of six first, three seconds, and two

Following a 5-0 loss at Southwestern last week in their Pacific Southwest Conference opener, the Comet baseball squd is due for a hitting streak with three PSC games on tap this week on the Palomar diamond. San Diego City will test the Comets tomorrow at 3. Saturday MiraCosta and Palomar will play a doubleheader, starting at 11. Last year the Comets, who were 10-8 in the conference, won one of three league games against both the Knights and Spartans. Coach Jim Clayton has indicated that either Greg Abney or Rich Zinniger will be the starting pitcher against powerful SDCC. Abney is a righthander and claims both victories in the squads . 2- 6 season record. ZinniP"er is a leftv who
is just now rounding into form following a stint on the basketball team. The Comet horsehiders were onfairly even terms with Southwestern until the Apaches scored four times in the sixth frame. The runs cam via an error, base on balls, double, and single all with none out. Abney started the game and Zinniger allowed two hits in a three inning relief appearance. Nine runners were left stranded on the bases by the Comets as they were outhit, 12-7. Catcher Bob Snead was the onl~ PC player to gather two hits. The freshman from Rancho Bernardo banged out two singles, grounded out to short stop, and drew a base on balls in fojr appearance from his l~ad nff nn~ition
Second baseman Rod Dykman, centerfielder Billy Reed, and Zinniger each clouted doubles. Shortstop Rich Adkins and right-fielder Bill Brisoce both had one baggers. Winning pitcher Tom Fidlerjohn was one of three Apaches who collected two hits but most of the damage was done by John French, who drove in two runs and scored one with three singles. Probably the two factors which pleased Clayton was that only one Southwestern athlete reached first on a free trip or on a base on balls and the two double plays turned in by the combination of Adkins to Dykman to first. Abney and Zinniger played firs t when not on the mound.
