Bomb threat clears campus The call came in at 10:47 a.m.:
''I wanted you to know that two bombs have been placed strategically in your area," said a female's voice , and the line went dead. So began yesterday the first bomb scare in Palomar College's history. It ended four hours later after 35 men from the County Sheriff's Department and San Marcos F ire Department finished a systematic search of the campus . There were no bombs: the call was a hoax. In the meantime all afternoon classes had been cancelled and the campus had been evacuated. President Frederick Huber gave the
a hoax Shortly thereafte r outside the main e ntrance to the school , which with other e ntr ances , had been barr acaded, Dean of Humanities Howar d Brubeck was serving as a one- man P ublic Infor mation Service, answering questions . One elde r ly man had heard about the situation and was looking for his daughter. Most of the r est, unaware of what was happening, had arr ived for c lasses . "The students and faculty handled themselves in an exemplar y fashion," said Dr . Huber. "If nothing else, this gave us an indication of how we could meet the situation in a real e me r genc y. ''
order to evacuate s hor tly after 11, and word r eached t he Student Union Building, wher e s tudents we r e settling down to lunch, at 11: 10. In the Student Acttivities Office, the ASB Council meeting was getting unde r way and in St. Louis the Cards were at bat in the first. The campus was virtually deserted, except for parking lot congestion, by 11:20.
The scene inside the building was r eminiscent of the ruins of P ompeii. T able s were s trewn with half- eaten and untouched lunches. Near a cash register in the seving kitchen was an abandoned tray of food with change lying on it .

Larsen, a business administr ation maj or , bases his platform on stamping out student ap a thy. He states, " ... this apathetic feeling, though common, is quite unnece ssary and can be remedie d through publicity, which serves as the primar y s timulus for enthusiastic part icipation in all activities . The major c lubs on campus have already formulated new ideas which need but leader ship and acceptance to make them successful.

EDITORIALS A dull Monday? Not exactly! It was just another day, really. Ten o'clock classes had just ended and hunry students were in the midst .of preparing to eat. The student umon . was bustling with it's usual roar of voices; it was a typical dull Monday. Dr. Roland Phelps stepped up to the microphone to make an announcement. Students glanced up and gave him a fraction, if any, of their attention. ' 'There has been a bomb scare. Everybody please leave the campus-classes are cancelled." It was no longer a dull Monday. Students began running in all directions. "Is this for real?" someone asked. Nobody stayed around to ask any other questions. If there was a bomb scare, it was alright with them. Besides, an important world-series game was being broadcast on TV! Now was thetime to take advantage. In Meanwhile the police arrived. ten minures the campus looked like
a Sunday afternoon--with a few exceptions. Outside, the surrounding roads were faced with a traffic jam--a jam which was not actually panicked but full of c heery students yelling back and forth where to meet in five minutes. Because of this calm attitude, traffic was cleared within the half hour. Inside was a flurry of authorities, whose job it was to find the probably dreampt-up-bomb. And, luckily it was a hoax. The point is that even though 9 times out of 10 these bomb scares are fake, there is that one remaining chaiice it isn't. And you never know for sure. Palomar's students and faculty remained calm and couldn't have evacuated the campus quicker if it had been rehearsed. And nobody knew for sure if it was a fake. --Jean Peasley

OUR COLLEGE COMMUNfiY barefoot
Guest Editorial
S1RIKES ONLY SOLUTION The word "strike" is often an ugly word. It invariably conjures up in the minds of many persons a grinding half to the day to day production of an organization. When that organization happens to be a college or university, the word even may take on an added horror, especially for a great many taxpayers who, in an indirect way, are the employers in this case. Many of these taxpayers believe that the educator has a moral obligation to teach, an obligation which supercedes any economic considerations. Some taxpayers, believe that as a professional, a college instructor should not stoop to the tactics employed by organized labor. It is indeed commendable to devote oneself to teaching, and it is commendable to wish to maintain one's professional status. But to do this means that when an employee--in this case, a college faculty--is threatened by comparatively low salaries and high work load, he can go to his employe ( the tax payers) and discuss the problem in a reasonable fashion, perhaps even reach an amicable solution. But the taxpayers of California, through their elected representatives-the state legislature and the governor --have not been willing to discuss the
- -- - - - - j
?
problems of higher education in such a light. Instead of insuring that the problems of higher education will be met by an adequate budget, the legislature each year proposes less money for the state colleges than that asked by the State College Board of Trustees or the Coordinating Council for Higher Education. The situation is then compounded when the governor, as he did last year, cuts that figure in order to pinch the state's pennies. There are few persons who wish to see California go into the red. But those persons who would deny the state colleges a budget allowing them to cornpete with comparable institutions fail to grasp a simple fact: The taxpayers in the long run will be hurt by their attempts at frugality, for an inadequate budget means less teachers and less qualified teachers. And this hurts the quality of education the students receive and weakens the knowledge with which they will meet the world outside the ivory tower. Dangerous games are being played with California higher education, and they must be stopped. I f this cannot be done in a rational fashion by "men sitting down as men to meet deeplyrooted problems," then perhaps actions will speak louder than words. --from the Spartan Daily, San Jose State College
Students have been going barefoot again, much to the dismay of the administration. It is not permitted to enter the snack bar or cafeteria without shoes, and most teachers dislike seeing bare feet in the classroom. Outside of the one advantage of going barefoot (comfort), think of all the disadvantages : catching ath let e's foot, catching cold, and catching trouble from the administration!
flop Kangaroo Cou rt just didn'tmake it with the humor this year. It looks as though it was a victim of poor planning. The first couple of skits were fair, but the latter partofthe hour really dragged on. And the jury! Not only did it have girls in it, but the members were adorned with their usual robes. Judge Mike Gunderson tu rned out to be the f r e s h m an ' s target as he was attacked by water baloons and eggs--and that was about the only real excitement there was in the entire hour.
ribbons
Be f ore every game, cheerle aders, stu~ent council members, and other students approach the student body individually and attempt to sell ribbons. The cost of these ribbons , which carry suc h slogans as "Comets Claw the Griffins," is te n cents . This m oney ~oes into the ASB tr easury. The purpose of selling them is to boost
the spirit on camp us as well as the morale of the team. So nextweek, why don't you buy one? And after you do that, don' t fo rget towearit.
undefeated Underdogs, huh? Well, Palomar just pulled another one out of the hat as they outscored Grossmont 42- 26. This weekend they'll face Southwestern in another tough outing. So stop underrating our team--that victory flag hasn't been down yet this year.
bells An old hashed- over problem has been the bell system a t Palom ar. Many people think it's about time students kep t track of their own time i nstead of relying on those wonderous bells--and it is a bit embarrassing to the student body when such dist inguished speakers as Dr. Edward Steinbrook are inte r r upted during the conclusion of their lecture by a long, shrill bell.
schedule Ever y time we go on assembly s c hedule, it messes ever ybody up. People are forever going to the wrong class in the afternoon, or walking into a 2 o'clock class when it's time (they think) for their 3 o'clock class. Mr. Richard Peacock walked into the predicament one Friday when he entered the wrong class and started (without a blink) calling roll. Somebody finally advised him that he was in the wrong class.
Every time somebody reminds me that we~re playing against Mira Costa in our homecornmg game, I have to wince. Because even though t~e teams are supposedly mismatched and should be m differ ent leagues, they are· still, student body to student body, our top rivals. Also, every ye ar when we pla y against them , it's either their homecoming game or ours , whichadds spice to the boilir.g broth. Two years ago, when Palomar's team was listed high on the char ts, Mira Costa ruined our homecom And , who could forget last year's game? The clash began when we arrived at school on a F riday morning, the day before the two teams were to battle. Mi ra Cost a fans had vis ited the campus the night before, leaving their annual collection of offcolor signs for us to observe. .• . As the day progressed , Palomar's student , which had been sleeping all season, became aroused at the previous night's incidents. A return-t he- favor trip to Mira Costa was in demand . This time ·it was their homecoming, and it was r umored that they had an unburned- down bonfire which needed to be burned down. By lunchtime at least 50- 75 kids headed for their cars with gayly printed posters, signs, and propaganda to be distributed on the Oceanside campus. The last car to leave Palomar was a car jammed full of cheerleaders and miscellaneous student s. Penny Hill and I were among the people crowded into the front seat. We yelled out cheers as we approached the Mir a Costa campus . The big mistake of the year was when we passed the group of Palomar students on the road inside Mira Costa and never realized that their yells were intended for a warning. We noticed their student body was having a pep assembly as our car passed under the Mira Costa br idge and circled in their parking lot. Upon the return crossing underneath the bridge came the onslaught . A hundred or inore Mira Costa students had gone up on the b ridge and armed themselves with goodsized rocks. With these they proceeded to bombard our car until the windshield was c racked and neat little holes were punctured in the roof ofthe car. Somehow we lived, and quietly drove back to our own campus with a feeling ofdefeat. As rival ry has it, this couldn't be the end. So, a couple of mor e Cornet fans decided it was in order to return by themselves and destroy that tempting bonfi re. With a can of gasoline, they left. The story at this point has a hundred different versions . Even the guys that went varied in their account of what actually happened. But these guys snuck in there , started the fire, and ran befor e the crowd caught them. Somebody claimed that one guy from Palomar got left behind. Only a portion of the bonfire ever really got r uined. With all this to end a shattering Friday, everybody looked forward to Saturday's game. When the score was 20- 0, Palomar's favor, I would have bet anything that we had it in the bag. As it happened, Mi ra Costa made a good comeback accompanied by a fis t fight out on the fie ld before half time. Palomar fans were worried . Then the fog came in. The crowds gathered on the sidelines, and in the last minutes, Palomar made a touchdown. It was one of the two games we won last year. WATCHOUT It's their turn to r eciprocate this season when they fac e Palomar for our homecoming. Maybe we should build a bridge, in case they visit us. Or maybe we should have somebody guard our bonfire all day Friday before the game. Or maybe we can change the tide and this year beat Mira Costa at our own homecoming--with spirit. good taste, and a winning team.
CAMPUS COMMENTARY
IS SWDENT .GOVERNMENT AT PALOMAR REPRESENTATIVE OF THE STUDENT BODY? New student body officers and five representatives at large have just been chosen. It is the duty and obligation of these newly elected officers along with those already in offica to speak for the student body as a w!1ole. They are to voice their opinio:1s as they feel the majority of the students wo:1ld want them to.
CHARLIE SILSBY
Students aro:.md campus were asked if they thought "student gove rnment at Palomar is truly representa tive of the entire student bo::ly." Here is what they had to say.
Charlie Silsby, freshman--"If everyone on the student council does his job, then the student bo::ly is represented well. As far as I can see , the council is doing a good job now."
Pat Devinna, freshman- - Yes, they do represent us well. When is sues come up they take care of it. If I wanted to say something, I could tell one of them and they'd bring it up at the meeting.
Albert M. Fleek, freshrnan-- "Yes. I'm older and new here and have not had a chance to get into many activities. But I certainly intend to get into them. I think student government is good for kids. It is good practice to be in government. I believe those in stude nt government are there with the idea of representing and are very c onscie ntious."
Sherry Elliott, sophomore--"No, student government is not truly representative of the entire student body because there is no closeness here . I've come from a smaller school where there was a definite closeness felt. There is no closeness between student leaders and the rest of the student body here.' '
PATRICK RITTER
Patrick Ritter, freshman-- "No. Not enough students care about participation in student government. Most students are not represented. The student council does represent the majority, but this majority is less than 50 per cent. The minorities combined. are more than 50 per cent of the student body, and these minorities are not represented."
ALBERT M. FLEEK
GLENN TRYON
Glenn Tryon, freshman--"I don't think the people around here know that much about the people who run for the various positions. I guess most of the officers try to represe nt us well, but I don't think that they really do. This is just like any other school. There is no way that the student council can really represent everyone.'' PAT DEVINNA

Comets clobber Grossmont Griffs U11defeated Cotnets looking for second conference victory against winless Southwestern Apache squad The Palomar Comets take on the Southwestern Apaches Saturday at the Vista High School field after upsetting Grossmont 42- 26 last week. Palomar is still the only unbeaten team in the PSC conference carrying a 2-0-2 won-loss-tie slate compared to the Apache 0-4 record. Grossmont entered last Saturday's contest pegged as a solid 8-point choice to pull out a victory but the fans came away wondering what happended to the team that Grossmont head coach Bob Rump called "the greatest team Grossmont had ever assembled." Grossmont took the opening kickoff and in two plays struck paydirt with Grffin halfback Bob Lavage carrying it over the goal line from sixteen yeards out. Palomar took Grossmont's kickoff and, behind the power running of fullback Merle Gathers and the passing of Len Gann, the Comets knotted the count 6- 6 in 11 plays. Seconds later bare-footed Rick Treetrail split the uprights with his coccerstyle placement attempt--the first of six consecutive PAT' s --and the Comets were in front to stay. From that point it was all Palomar as the Comets controlled the ball 28 of the next 32 plays from scrimmage and built a commanding 28- 6 lead in the process. Chuck Nally's third interception ofthe season ignited the Comets' second scoring drive, with wingback Jack Ashby cove ring the final four yards around the right end, fllowing a great fake handoff from Gann to Gathers. Kayle Henderson blocked a punt next time the Griffins gained pqssession and in six plays the Comets were blinking the scoreboard on a three-yard keeper by Gann. Rich Houk's interception also his third of the year, stymied the Griffins on their initial play of the next series , with a 25-yard pass down the middle from Gann to Ashby accounting for the touchdown. However, in spite of the Comet's dominance of the game, Grossmont was still in the contest when it pushed across a TD in the final 21 seconds of the first half. Scott Martinson's jarring tackle prevented a two-point conversion attempt and the Comets were sitting on a 28-12 advantage at halftime . With Grossmont having rolled up 72 points just two weeks back, the Comets were still on the spot and taking advantage of the second-half kickoff was a must. Mark Eldridge returned the ball 13 yards and the locals were in business. Gathers and Dan Hustead covered 26 yards on the ground and then Gann hit Mike Heredia for 14 yards and followed with a 21-yard pass to Sam Oliva. Palomar had the game on ice on the next play when Hustead cut over the left guard for 12 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Brian Sipe matched the touchdown by bucking over from one
yard out, but the Comets were equal to the task when Ashby scored his third TD of the game on a 13- yard sweep on the right end. Palomar completed its initial eight
pass attempts in the contest, Lucia hitting one and Gann seven. Overall, the Comets were on target with a fantastic 12 of 17 attempts with Gann going 10 for 13.

A ten year master plan projection based on curricula needs is in preparation by the Administration and all departments . The report must tell the State what specialized equipment and buildings are needed in which departments to effectively teach the curricula . November 1 is the deadline for the required submission to the State Department of Education. The faculty and Administration met on September 27 to discuss initiai preparation; the curriculium Committee met last week to continue discussion and planning. Each member of the various departments are to meet with the department heads and then with the Assistant Dean of Instruction for their Division and give the information needed for the projection for the next 10 years. A suggestion by Charles Coutts, dean of science, technology, and business and Assistant Dean of Instruction called for "a pos-
pass attempts for a total of 167 yards. Henderson blocked a key punt for Palomar that enabled the Comets to score. Gann is a graduate of San Dieguito High School and an All-PSC Honorable Mention pick last year as a freshman. Henderson graduated from San Marcos High where he was an all-league candidate. He lettered for Palomar last year.

sible large circular building with three pie-shaped rooms that are all designed for the kind of hardware equipment as projectors, screens, etc." Miss Billie Hutchings, dance instructor, noted that every staff member was now teaching a full load so this would indicate that more teachers are needed. Dr. Frederick R. Huber, Palomar President, stated "that staff should be included in thi s projection ... and that department meetings are essential." Dr. John Schettler, Financial Advisor, will act as a resource person, he also Chairman of the Master Plan Committee. Palomar could reveive an entitlement to continue construction on the master plan and have money to alliviate present budget problems caused by the recent enrollment surge. The study is for evaluation of the Junior College construction Act of 1967. The plan is to reviewed and extended annually, and will form the basis for state financial assistance for construction of facilities on al s tate junior college campuses. Dr. Schettler said, "the state determines your entitlement, and once the entitlement is established the state will match funds of the District. Virgil Bergman , Dean of Instruction] pointed out that the master plan (had the bond issue passed) indicated the need for a business building, physical educat.ion facilties, life science building, paramedicial facility, communications-graphics arts building and closed circuit television faciltity. Dean Bergman asked the department chairmen in those specific areas to consider if there are any changes anticipated in the buildings or equipment that was scheduled last year. Mrs. Evenell Renick, head of the business department felt there would be no change in the plans for the business building other than accomodations for CCTV. Dean Coutts pointed out that facilities designed to provide space for data processing should be available to all departments who plan to use it. Mr. F elton, business instructor, stated that if a building were built with these funds, the earliest possible utilization of the building would be 1972-3, or five years. With this in mind, Dr. Huber stated it is possible that we may have to go back to the public next spring for another bond issue or an override tax to recieve funds to fill in the gap from 1968- 72. The Board may levy a tax without a vote of the people in order to rase funds for pro jects which have been previously approved. AB 272 is a finance bill in which we are to receive additional funds, but the amount is not known at this time. Also in that bill, by 1967- 71 is the period that we can leby tax without the vote of the people for support of operational expenses. Dr. Huber stated, "we will have to do something next spring to get funds because the
enrollment will most likely reach 3000 and we will need buildings and very quickly. It will be necessary to decide whether we should go to the public again for it." Robert Burton, Dean of Student personnel, gave a projection of the enrollment. He stated that the best he could say would be to predict a 15% increase each year. Mrs. Mary Fulton, head of the nursing program inquired into what procedure to use if the enrollment her aera was involved with the availability of anther department to take their students. Dean Bergman answered that it would be necessary for departments to work together to solve this. Howard Brubeck, Dean of Humanities, pointed out that not all rooms are being used 100% of the available time. Dean Bergman said that the campus was used very little after 2:5 0 p.m. It was also pointed out that in this project the quarter system would not be considered, nor would the Saturday morning classes, nor night classes. Dr. Schettler discribed the background that will be required to submit to the State Department by the November 1 dealine. He explained, "this is the junior College Construction Act of 1967. There were Junior College Construction Acts of 1965 and 64. Under entitlement! for 1964 we received funds for the construction of the Auto Shop. Under

entitlement 2 and 3 we did not have the matching funds and under entitlement 4 the state does not have the funds . Dr. Schettler explained, "The project submitted previously by us consisted of additions to the life science buildings, additions to the physical educationswimming facilities , new business building. We were immediately advised by the state that the count of available teaching space was greater than enrollment. Dr. Schettler further stated, "that the new bill is specific in what cannot be developed under these State matched funds, such as : cannot build a single purpose auditorium, and cannot building a student union, except wtth cafeteria facilities, cannot building a stadium , etc. In the plan to be submitted to the state, it must be included what use will be made of the old facility. The plan must include planned aquisition of sites, development of building and its equipment that was scheduled last year. Mrs. Evenell Renick felt there would be no change in the plans for the business building other than accomdation for CCTV. Dean Coutts pointed out that faciltie s designed to provide space for data processing should be available to all departments who would plan to use it. Mr. Felton stated that if a building were built with these funds, the earliest possible utilization of the building would be 1972- 73, or 5 years.
