The Board wishes to avoid creating a public throughfare through the campus. They will vote at the April 11 meeting. Dr. Frank M. Bradshaw, the Regional Coordinator of the Institute program, stated· that "the purchase of this propperty is contingent on the Board granting permission for us to gain access through the fence to the campus."

Limited enthw£asm shown for
~~Lear"
breaks attendance records; Council's first public gripe session held over for another week's run
Encouraged by marked success at the box office and by consistently having turn-away crowds, Palomar's "King Lear" production will be held over for an additional week for four extra performances. The production run will end, as now planned, with this Saturday's evening performance. Drama instructor and "King Lear" director Frank N. White announced the extension last Saturday night following the closing of the box office and before the beginning of the 8:00 performance. As White made the announcement, the 200-seat theater was filled to capacity and people were being seated on the floors. Although reserved seats for high school groups were resold to waiting customers at the last moment when the expected number failed to appear, more than thirty people were still turned away. The audience-drawing strength of the "King Lear" production has beenpowerful enough to make this "turn-away" phenomenon a nightly occurance at the

P-33 Drama Lab show. The 2:00 Saturday matinees, an innovation in Palomar drama, were seen by 230 people in spite of poor weather. All six 8:00 performances played to full houses. Already "King Lear" has almost doubled the past one-performance attendance records by bringing in 1362 viewers, with a box office gross total of $872.50, according to the count made after last Saturday's final performance. In the recently extended run, "King Lear" will be performed on a schedule identical to that of the past two weeks. Performances will be given Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights with the curtains parting at -8:00 and the box office opening at 7:30 p.m. White warns customers who want good seats to be at the box office at least fifteen minutes before its opening time. Sizeabel ques have been forming at 7:00 p.m. or earlier. The Saturday matinee will play again also. The performance begins at 2:00 with tickets being sold after 1:30. The elaborate set of "King Lear" has been host to non-paying crowds during non-performance time throughout the previous week, as well as to the enthusiastic ticket buyers. Over 500 high school students visited the set as guests of the drama department. The students were from Orange Glen, San Marcos, San Dieguito, Carlsbad and Escondido high schools. This educational program included a lecture on the Elizabethan stage by White and a tour of the set, workshop, costume department and dressing rooms guided by White and crew members. The guides included Bob Kendrick, Jim Juern, Larry Hunter, Larry Rintye, and Scott McDonald.
Meeting with ASB President Ed Johnston at his first public "conference" were seven curious students. Termed by Johnston the "flop", there seemed to be no students anxious to make known their complaints. "I know lots of students have complaints," Johnston remarked, "but I don't understand why they don't come to the Council to let us know." : Johnston also stated that if the students have something to say and if they want something corrected within the Council or around the campus that the only way it can be done is by talking to the lr elected officials, and not by "griping" to each other. Council meetings are held every Monday in R-3 at 11:00 and Johnston says all students are invited to attend to see what
Navy info team explains programs Los Alamitos Naval Air station will have representatives on campus Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00p.m. for students to investigate the opportunities offered in Navy careers. The avaition information team will be in the student union to explain the officer. training programs. Several programs have been developed which offer young men flight training as pilots or as officer aircrew members. Young men are rewarded with designations as avaitors or flight officers after successfully completing training. Although the Navy now requires applicants for any officer program to have a baccalaureate degree, there are several programs available for the student during his last two or three years of college. These programs are available in both the avaition and surface feilds. Participation in one of programs would allow the applicant to receive his commission upon graduation with a baccalaureate degree.
the Council is doil}g and how it operates, and to present their opinions to the group. While speaking with the TELESCOPE, Johnston also said that he is working on an idea that will bring about a special election. On the ballot he intends to have students express their vote opinions on the possibility of lowering prices of text books, ASB card fees, and installation of food machines.

Controversial priest discussed Friday in first ·of three lectures A series of three evening lectures on the late controversial Jesuit priest, Teilhard de Chardin, begins April 14. The series, " . . . And Then For t he Second Time in the History of the World Man Shall Have Discovered Fire", is presented by Patrick O'Connor 0. F .M. of San Luis Rey College. The free series is held inP- 32at7:30onApril 14 , 21, and 28. The lectures will be slide illustrated. The program on April 14 explores Chardin as "The Man"; the second lecture deals with his philosophies; and the concluding program is Chardin as ''The Scientist." O' Connor is the Dean of Students and an instructor in biology at San Luis Rey College. He graduated from the University of St. Bonavature in New York City. He has done graduate work at the Universities of California and Washington. He stated that he has long been the student of' 'the tension between dogma and science." He commented on Chardin's works, "his works are a synthesis of science and religion, and they offer food for thought.'' Chardin's works include many important books on evolution. "The Phenomenon of Man" is his best seller. It was
his first work to appear in t he United States. All of his works have published posthumously since 1955. TI ME Magazine said, "In the 20th century, one man has essayed to find a unity in thought, a principle to combine the one and the many, the world of spirit and the material world." Chardin' s life began in 1881in Europe. He joined the Jesuit order and held the positions of professor of geology at the Catholic Institution in Paris, and director of the National Research Center of France. Later he was exiled into China because of his advanced ideas and theories on evolution. While in China he was the Director of theN ational Geologic Survey of China. He had a major role in the discovery of the Pekin man. He died in New York where he was working under the auspices of the Wenner-Gren Foundation. Sir Julian Huxley, scientist, commented on Chardin, "he applied his whole life, his tremendous intellect and his great spiritual faith to building a philosophy that would reconcile Christian theology with the scientific theory of evolution, to relate the fact of religious experiences to those of natural sciences.'
