Homecoming. queen chosen Tension and excitement of Homecoming Week came to a climax when Samantha Dalzell was announced as this year's queen. Coronation took place during half time ceremonies last Saturday when the Comets hosted MiraCosta's Spartans. The homecoming court was announced and then driven around the field in shiny, new sports cars. When the courtarrived back at the stands, Jim Strong gave a short biography of each candidate as she mounted the platform. One by one princesses Nancy Palmer, Patti Russo, Nancylee Saffiote and Marylou Trevison were named. Miss DalzP.ll was then revealed as Homecoming Queen, presented with a bouquet of roses and a sparkling crown from Sandy Woods, 1966 queen, and a congratulatory kiss from student body president Jon Mitchell. Miss Dalzell then mounted her throne where she and the four princesses remained during the second half of the game. Even though Palomar lost to MiraCosta, 16-15, the spirit at the Homecoming Dance was fairly high. "The "Horseless Carriage" played in the student union unti 1 a.m. to a crowd of semi-formally dressed students. The Homecoming committee decorated the room with psychedlic posters behind the band to promote this year's theme, "Insight Out." Huge flowers painted on the windows added to the decor. Co-
okies and punch were served by Gamma Sigma Chi, the girls' service club. Other highlights for the week included bonfire and bonfire dance held last Friday. Few students showed for the bonfire sponsored jointly by Circle·K and Pep Clubs. The lack of interest in the bonfire can probably be attributed to many reasons, the main one being that about the same time the fire was set off approximately ll,OOOpeoplewere heading toward Escondido High School's Memorial Field to watch the intown rivalry between Escondido and Orange Glen High Schools. This particular game was one that North County residents have been waiting for for quite a while. Another reasons for lack of enthusiasm in Friday's pep rally could be that not enough publicity could be given the event becuase only tentative permission for the bonfire was given until Thursday. Fire permits were not issued because of the large county fires which destroyed thousands of acres only days befo re. A third deterrant to the rally was that the woodpile originally gathered in the beginning of the week was burned twice on Wednesday. According to Ron Simecka, pep club co-chairman, someone set the s tockpile on fire sometime Wednesday afternoon.
"The janitors put out the fire," Simecka said. "The pile was again set on fire Wednesday night and the fire department had to put it out." Circle K and Pep club members hurriedly gathered enough wood to build a second pile in time for Friday. It is belived that Mi raCosta students are responsible for Wednesday's fires in retaliation of a similar stunt that Palomar students pulled on Mi raCosta at their homecoming last year. A few Palomar students again took a trip to MiraCosta this year and burned the letters "PJC" onto their football practice field. As a consequence of the tentativeness of the fire and because of the intense interest in the outcome of the EscondidoOrange Glen game, only about 75 people showed up for the bonfi re. Glen Hayashi, pep club co-chairman, introduced Coaches Mack Wiebe, Tony Lynds, Jim Clayton, and Doc Marrin. Simecka began the fire while the cheerleaders led a few cheers. Since the flames lasted for only about 45 minutes, there seemed to be a long lapse of time between the rallyand the bonfire dance, which began at 8 p.m. For the first hour "Marsha and the Esquires" played fo r the ver y few couples present. It wasn't until after 10 p.m. that a good size crowd arrived --Cece Lodicio

Narcotics Committee continues discussion; first organizational meeting last week The Narcotics Committee meets tomorrow at 11 a.m. in the conference room to continue discussion started last week. "This is not the dope committee," quipped Frederick R. Huber, Palomar president , in his opening remarks to the organizational meeting of the committee Wednesday. Continuing his explanation of the purpose of the committee more seriously, Dr. Huber said "the purpose of the student-faculty- adm inistration committee is to explain the subject of narcotics. including hallunc inatory drugs, with knowledge and background information provided by people in the field." The psychologicial and e motional e ffect s of narcotics and drugs would be presented through the lectures and seminars. T he committee will conduc t a study lastin,g approximately one year and will look at narcotics and its possible effects on the North County and junior college s tudents. Seminars and speake r programs are primary ways of gathering information. When the program is organized parents a nd the public are to be included in the programs. Possible s peakers are psychiatrists, physicians and othe r experts in fields related to narcotics s tudy. Dr. Huber s tated that he is "not aware of a particular proble m on this campus." He said he is interested in the topic about which he fe el s we have very little information. "It is topic that requires further study and exploration, knowledge a nd background." "The basic purpose will be to explore the problem as it relates to the
college and community and make every effect to make the large r group (the students, faculty and community) aware of the effects ." Dr. Huber also said a publication could come out of the study. He futher commented we should have "an informed college community and hopefully an informed citizenry." A suggestion for open meetings was explained by Dr. Huber. He suggested that P-32 be utili zed and the student body be invited to sit in and possibly question from the floor. The committee would hold the seminar and ask a set of prepare d ques tions corresponding to the topic. Further suggestions were to tape the speaker, only if he concured, for later s tudy by the committee. It is possible that the committee would offer comment after the seminars. The group agreed to form a committee on com mittees to decide what is needed. The next steps would be meetings to decide on a r esear c h and program schedule. Bob McKelvey, stude nt, is the c hai rman. Members are Bob Thoreson; Sandy Eagleston; Hal Cheyney, zoology instructor; and Mrs. Mary Fulton, director of nurs ing education. Four subcommittees were formed on the areas of: Programs Committee, Speaker Commiti.ee, Publications Committee and the Position Committee. The meeting was calle d by Dr. Hube r and ASB president Jon Mitchell in the conference room of the administration wing. First reference made to the committee idea was during Dr. Huber's Sept. Convocation speech. The s tude nt council approved and gave active support to it last month.

A ten year master plan for future development and an itemized priority plan were submitted to the State Board of Education by the Palomar Board of Governors last week in compliance with Senate bill 691. The Senate bill specifies that junior colleges must file a plan outlining growth and future needs by Nov. The filing of the plan was made mandatory to qualify for matching construction funds. Dr . Frederick R. Huber, Palomar president, said the plan approxmately follows the details of the original Palomar master plan as to projects considered essential. He pointed out that the college district again would have to be called on to finance its share of the cost. A $12.5 million bond issue was defeated in an election last February.

Palomar could receive an entitlement to continue construction on the master plan and have money to alleviate budget problems caused by the e nrollment surge. The study is for evaluation of the Junior College Construc tion Act of 1967. The plan is to be reviewed and extended annually, and will form the basis for state finanical assistance for construction of facilities on all state junior college campuses. Dr. John C. Schettler, ASB financial advisor stated, "The state determines your entitlement, and once the entitlement is established the state will match funds of the district." The Board may levy a tax without a vote of the people in order to raise

funds for projects which have been previously approved. AB272 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 levy tax, without the vote of the people, for operational expenses . Dr. Huber stated, "we all have to do something to get funds because the enrollment will most likely reach 3000 by next year and we will need buildings and very quickly." Cons truction projects included in the study are: Addition to life sciences building, by 1968, $265,000; physical education department swimming facility with classroom, pool and lockers, by 1969, estimated cost $400,000; business education building with seven classrooms and 19 labs, including data processing, for 1970, $1, 837,000. Conversion of present business education building, 1971, $183, 700; paramedical , nursing, medical and dental assisting, 1971, $626, 00; performing arts faciltity, theater, classrooms, 1972, $ 1,500,000; pur chase of additional 20 acre site, 1972, $110,000; gymnasium and field house, $1,456,000 .

Free transportatic'n goes l)eggi11g while traffic clogs 11arrjng lot Although enrollme nt at Palomar is the highes t in its history, the three college buses that transport students without charge to and from nearby communities, unlike most of the school's fac ilities , are ope rating at less than 50 per cent capacity. Charles 0. Crafts, superintendent of buildings, in charge of operation and maintenance of the vehicles, last week said any one of the buses abn()s t could handle all the students who utili ze the three . Crafts said two of the buses recently purchased are diesels and cost approximately $30,000 each. T hey have a capacity of 62 to 64 students each. The third is gasoline-powered and can take 57. Drive rs are Palomar students who get $1. 50 pe r hour. Othe r costs inc lude operation, maintenance - - much of which is done at the college shops except for the majo r repair contracted out, and payments on the costs of purc hase . Unlike most school bus expenses, which are subsidized by s tate funds, Palomar has to take car e of entire costs of the service here out of the school budget. Operating on three general routes--to the· coast, to Escondido and Poway areas,
and to Falbrook, Rainbow and Vista-each bus travels appoximately 1,000 miles each month. They arr ive at Palomar at approximately 7:40 a.m. and depart at 4 p.m. The coast route begins at El Camino Real and 4th Street in Del Mar at 6:30 a.m. and then, in order, ma..lces stops in Rancho Sante Fe, Solana Beach, Cardiff, Encinitas and Olivenhain. T he Poway run star ts at Angola and Twin Peaks Roads in the Poway area at 6:25 a.m .. thenpast Rancho Berriardo and into Escondido. The Fallbrook vehicle ' begins each morning in the Rainbow area with a pickup at Rainbow Valley Blvd. and 8th Street at 6:30 and proceeds to Fallbrook and to Vis ta. Exact routes and times may be obtained from schedules at many student activities areas. Commenting on the schedules, however, Crafts pointed out that individuals may be able to work out other pickup points with drivers to furnish an even more convenient ser vice. Since the lack of utili zation of bus facilities obviously is a cont ributing factor to traffic problems, officials urge all students to investigate possibilities for traveling by bus whenever schedules permit.

TRASH " Maybe if I ignora it, it'll go away. "
Litter shows student disrespect for campus 'worst in 3 years,' Cbstodian Gadtke says Palomar's students convey disrespect for the campus that is "the worst 1t nas been in three years" according to James Gadtke, head custodian. "We get no cooperation from the student body ... some think that you'd be out of a job if it weren't for them (making a mess) , " Gadtke continued. The campus condiiton is such that it requires 1/2 hour of man labor for each hour of school session or activity. Two 1/2 hours are spent on Saturday policing the campus for trash. It takes 21 student custodians from 15 to 20 minutes each day to clean the lawns. The worst areas extend from the Rwing to the dome including the patio. cafeteria and snack bar and the various parking lots . Examples of careless litterin~andnis tructive practices are the fires built from cups on the lawn near the book store and writing on tables in the cafeteria and snack bar and on the partitions in the rest rooms. some partitions are so severely scratched that they must be refinished. Gadtke termed the cafeteria "a real headache. " It takes one hour and fifteen minutes for his staff to clean. Two cafeteria women spend about two hours cleaning up after stuaents. . Additional custodial service comes for the trash that has been left sitting around. Mrs. Gert Coulter, cafeteria manager, commented, "I think that most students are gener ally very courteous and appreciative of our efforts ." The student union "majors" seem to be the ones who are causing a great deal of the trouble. They are defacing the furni-
ture and leaving dishes and trays on the tables. Mrs. Coulter thinks it is better than past years, but noted the need for improvement. She also explained that other groups see and use the building, such as adult groups on campus tours and school children. "I would like to see it be a place where students would like to come," said Mrs. Coulter. "They should want it to look ::tlX:eptable, it is their building, not ours. We are here to run it, not own it. We are here to serve the students, but we're not their servants, we don't wipe their face off." One year the staff let the mess pile up for three days. Mrs. Coulter stated that "it was quite effective for a while." The students soon realized what they were creating by being sloppy. The snack bar takes an hour to clean. The problem isn't as critical here as in the cafertia, although Mrs . Coulter said , she was "about to remove some students if they can't straighten up." The parking lots are cleaned from 3 to 5:30p.m. by a student custodian. Hepicks up ciagaette packs and miscellaneious pieces of paper left by departing students. Gadtke made the point that if an accident is reported the custodians will clean it up gladly to avoid the problem of having to clean up a half-done attempt. He gave as an example an accident which occured on the floor of one of rooms in the R-wing. Someone had spilled a drink and just thrown paper towels over it and left it to dry. It took the custodial service 45 minutes to soak off the towels from the floor before they could continue cleaning.

Comets lose Homecoming The bubble has burst for the Palomar College football team as the Comets, wh? were once sporting a nifty 3-0-2 record, have fallen prey to two non-conference opponents and evened their record to a tarnished 3-3-2 mark. Latest victim of shock for Palomar was MiraCosta College, who continued their reign over Palomar Homecoming games by squeaking out a 16-15 triumph in the last three minutes of play. The visitors from the coast had to overcome a 15 point deficit by the Comets to bag the victory. Palomar, behind the attack of quarterback Len Gafm, opened up the contest with an eai:'ly 3'-0 lead when barefooted Rick Trestrail booted a 20-yard field goal with 11:04 left in the first quarter. The Comets continued to amass large yardage against MiraCosta throughout the first and second periods. Gannfound his passing mark by drilling aerials to flanker Jack Ashby and splitend Sam Oliva. However, it wasn't until just :55 seconds remained in the first half that Palomar was able to light the scoreboard for the second time in the evening. A Gann pass found tight-end Mike Heredia all alone in the endzone for a 12 yard scoring strike. Following a mix-up on the snap from center. Trestrail's PAT kick was blocked and the Comets went into halftims with a 9-0 lead. A stout Palomar defense headed by tackles Hayle Henderson and Rich Saunders plus linebacker Scott Martinson, held MiraCosta out of Comet terri-
tory the entire first half, except for two brief periods when the Spartans drove to the Palomar's 45 yard-line before surrendering the ball on punts. The second half of play started out as· did the first, with the Comets scoring after just two minutes had elapsed on the clock. Gann fired his second and final touchdown pass of the night as he hit Ashby with a 25 yard toss. Ashby, making like Lance Alworth, leaped high for the ball and came down with a handful of six points as Palomar upped. its lead i5-0. An attempted two-Rolnt conversion try was for nill as Gann fired to ha,lfback Jim Dean who was trapped and hauled down before reaching the goal-line. Starting mid-way through the third quarter, MiraCosta obviously woke up to the fact that they were losingbadly. With 5:21 remaining in the third stanza, Spartan halfback Dan Lundhagen was set in punt formation and faked-punted the ball 65 yards into paydirt. Lundhagen's jaunt marked only the third time that Bill Corchran's team had traveled into Comet land. MiraCosta quarterback Chuck Oliver quickly hit Lundhagen with apass for a successful two-point conversion and suddenly Palomar was rocked for eight points. Throughout most of the remainder of the game both squads took turns punting the ball as their defenses held tight. Like a flash, however, the tide turned sour for Palomar as the Comets saw an Oliver pass to Dave Vaughn plus a disputed
interference call on Palomar defensive halfback Ed Worseck result in the Spartans gaining possession on the Comet five yard-line. Two plays later halfback Chris Chambliss bolted over for the touchdown and the Spartans now only had a one point deficit. With 3:57 left in the tilt, Corchran called for his team to attempt a two-point conversion. The attempt proved successful as Oliver did the honors himself in running for the crucial two digits, that brought the score to 16-15 in favor of the visitors. Palomar ends its 1967 grid season next Saturday night in Balboa Stadium by playing league-leading San Diegb' City College. The Comets will be gunning for upset of the year honors by knocking off Harry West's Russ Boulevard group, who have lost but once this season. Coach Mack Wiebe has speculated that Palomar will go all out for the Knight game and try to smooth out a football record that has been crumpled the last several outings . Wiebe plans to go with r elatively the same line-up that faced MiraCosta, with a possible exception being at the fullback slot where Jim Bean subbed for an injured Merle Gathers . Defensive co-ordinator Tony Lynds was pleased with the all around effort of his defensive line against the Spartans, singling out Henderson, Saunders, Martinson and safeties Rich Houk and Chuck Nally. San Diego returns to home to face the Comets following their quick jet trip to Boise, Idaho last Saturday afternoon.

It appears that the clock has s t ruck 12 for the so-called "Cinderella Kids" following the Comet football team 's loss to MiraCosta Saturday night. At the beginning of the year the team •s fairy godmother waved her magic wand and turned them into a top- notch football squad. A team that only three weeks ago enjoyed being billed as the only undefeated team in the Pacific Southwest Conference was beginning to make noises toward winning the Conference title. But all was in vain. After the team lost its first game to Mesa, it seemed to lose its momentum; in fact, it nearly died. Its offense which sparkled through the first six games now seems dull. Statistically the Comets did well, but when it came to scoring, the offense did not have what it takes. As for the defense-- oh well, on to better subjects. With the Mesa loss, most people rationalized that the team was still a good team, but Mesa was a little bit better. But the team's loss to Citrus and finally to MiraCosta is simply unbelievable. All teams have bad days, but with the Comets it is becoming a habit. The team supposedly is aiming its sights toward San Diego City College in

Balboa Stadium Saturday night. San Diego is tied for first place with Mesa . If the Comets have any hopes of defeating the Knights, they may have to call on their good fairy again fo r help . Or maybe if they traveled to Balboa with their minds set on victory and could play the entire contest without committing too many costly mistakes, they might be able to send the victory flag back to where it should be flying high on the PC flagpole come next Monday. If the Comets c annot pull out a victory in the usual manner, which may very well be impossible, then they might as well start calling for their fairy godmother. All Palomar students who wish to help the football team in this endeavor s hould follow these four simple steps in order to summon our magic lady: 1. Take a football and carefully place it on top of your head. 2. Place your free hand overyourheart. 3. Twirl around five times. Make sure it's exactly five times -- no more, no less. 4. Look up into the clear blue sky and say with a loud patriotic voice, "I love you fairy godmothe r , please come and help us.''

perform to their full potential, they'll have a chance at pulling out an upset. Palomar finished second Saturday in the Aztec Invitational. Randy Hartman set a new record with a time of 19:54 for the four-mile course. Ten schools participated in the r ace which was one of the three races ran in the meet. Grossmont won the race that it participated in while the third race was won by Bakersfield Junior College. In winning the race, Hartman beat John Bagliona of Mesa Arizona. He and Hartman were running neck and neck through the major part of the race with Hartman breaking into the lead in the final 700 yards to win easily by a margin of 15 yar ds. Grossmont and Palomar both competed in the Mt. San Antonio College Invitational meet two weeks ago where Grossmont placed thi r q with ll2 points .and Palomar finished fourth with 144. Marrin says that they will need to have "a r eal team effort" in order to win against the Griffins Palomar defeated the Southwestern Apaches last Tuesday by the score of 22 to 39. Randy Hartman broke another record, which is beginning to be old news, thi s one on Southwestern's course where he set a new mark of 20:34 which was· 22 seconds faster than Mesa's Dennis Smith's previous record for the course. When the Comets race Grossmont on Palomar's course, they will be attempting to c ontain the Griffins' lead runner Dave Matheny who placed second in their meet with Southwestern along with the rest of the Griffin squad that plac e d third through nine in the Apache contest.

The week tl1at was, or was it? It was an apocalyptic scene. almost. Thunder, fire, ashes, Vachel Lindsay, ascent unto heaven. There they were -grotesque, decadent splendor kind of thing -- the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Band, a lot of men -- cymbals, trombones, french horns, tympani. yes and uniformed in blue with golden braid loops and tassels and frogs and brass buttons . And the world is in flames. Great billows uplifting, uplifted. Thunder! Cymbals! Tympani! Fire! Powayisgone, incinerated. Fire and bugles. The End as heralded by military men (There was a convention in San Diego last month of this organization called the Military Order of World Wars. How quaint.). Some say the world will end in fire .. And that was how it began last week.
There was no editorial in The Telescope last week. We were confused. What are the real issues? How are we to interpret what appear to be the real issues? The week in retrospect: On ::Vlonday, it had been a week since we c harged that most officers of the Freshman and Sophomore Classes were in office unconstitutionally. Previously forgotten copies of constitutions ofthose organizations were produced, and the matter was referred to the judicial board, which met on Thursday and made its interpretations of those two documents and of the constitutions of AMS and AWS. They were to present their r eport to the ASB Council on Monday. But ASB President Jon Mitchell cancelled the council meeting so the council members could watc h a m a rine band giving a
concert in the Student Union. Poway and Ramona were burning. On Tuesday the council m eeting was held. Jim Strong, chairman of the Judicial Committee, gave his report, All class officers. with the exception of Brice Larsen were found by the committee to be in office illegally. Strong suggested that there be no new election, that Mitchell exercise his constitutional right of filling vacancies in student government councils. On Tuesday the Student Evaluation Committee began to construct the framework for what will eventually be an important service for Palomar students. On Wednesday, the Narcotics Committee met for the first time. Friday, at the same time the Good Time Singers we re entertaining a large portion of the student body, Palomar's chapter of the anti-war Peace and Freedom party held its first meeting. About 20 were present to draft a constitution and discuss general objectives. And on anothe r level: It was Homecoming Wee k. All this was enough to reduce our staff, collectively. to a mass of quivering nerve ends by the time a newspaper. as though by Ac t of God. appeared -- two days behind schedule -on Thursday morning. The week oegan in fire and disorder, and it e nded in ashes and disorde r. It was a week of painful transition, and it is ove r ; but the beat goes on. Palomar College is alive and screaming. Spread the word . --Steve Woodall

There comes a time in every fellow's life, whethe r he be Lyndon Baines or a forme r cheerleader, that he makes a fool of himself. In the case of the latter 's life, however, he seems to do it consiste ntly. You'd think he'd learn. In case you are fortunate e nough not to know who this particular pers on is, cons ide r part of your sanity saved. He is the fellow who hollered and screamed throughout the Palomar-MiraCosta football game last Saturday night in front of 3,000 s ouls who e ither laughed or regurgitated over his antics . It' s a s afe bet to say that in mos t corners, they didn't l augh much. Before going any farther, any of hi s fans r e ading this bit of satirical wis dom s hould turn off from this point on--the going gets roughe r. T he purpose of this l etter is not to ridicule a cause that s hould receive heaps
Dynamic duo _;clitors: The garbage collecting twins ride again. Our blond he r o a nd his faithful s idekick are riding the Noontime Trail in hot pursuit of the Candy Wrapper Bandits. Wow! I've witnesse d a lot of low camp in m y tim e but these two are s traight from the Browni e Camp. They worry about the garbage condition a t the s tude nts ' homes. It' s OK at home. right stude nts? You load your garbage in your car s and bring it to school each morning and s pread it ove r the campus s o that our two heroes will have a mission to which they can dedic ate the m sel ves during the ir s pare time. Perhaps ASB c ould take up a collection to bu y the m a pus h cart . We must do everything we can to s upport the ir noble cause , right? Leo Ward

of c riticism, it is to point out the fact that Palomar College did not need the type of showmans hip , and the phrase is used loosely , that it r eceived last Saturday night. Cheerleading is fine , but when it r eaches a point where the cheerleader gets c arri ed away with his own laughter and begins to act like an idiot, whe ther he can help it or not, the time is the n that the patrol must b e sent in. And quickly. It s hould be added that the majority of the 16 Palomar yell leaders are doing a fine job. That is, they arouse the spirit of the c rowd and produce uncanny gyrations that all go into the mak ing of football fever, which they m ust have s uc c umbed to last weekend. If it wasn't for Hom ecoming week, it i s supposed that the alumni would never have been leading cheer s and this partic ular le tter would neve r be in print. As it stands, however, one alumni of the c heerl eading clan p rovoked this s tory a nd made the smell of chee rleading turn sour. Oh, well next year -- mayb e he won't be invited . I 'm s ure the Homeco ming festivities wouldn't suffer from his absense. Buzz Ponce

OUR COLLEGE COMl\1UNf I'Y . movies
last year. However , don't let this stop you from turning in any suggestions you m ay have.
Several students, although it has been publicized, are unawar e of a current night program called "An Evening of Film and Talk." A movie such as "Raisin in the Sun" (which is tonight's m ovie ) is presented ever y Tuesday evening and afterwards there is a discussion led by a moderator. T he movie is free. or if there is a c harge, it i s ve r y small.
basketball As football closes out its season, basketball begins what we hope will be a good year . The Palomar Coll ege 9th Annual Basketball Tournament is in the plan'1ing, and the quee n candidates have been n amed. These girls ser ve as lovel y hostesses who present the trophies at the e nd of the tou r nament. During t he tournament, which i s ·ovember 29-December 2, the games are playe d a ll day long. and the admission is fr ee.
suggestions Once again a suggestion box has been placed in the student union for the use of the students. In the past this has proved to be inte r esting , at least. T he first inc lination of the students is to submit their idea of humo rous c omments. But some ideas ·have been constructive although AMS President Mike Gunder son c laim s ne ver of them were used
bonfire After a dizzy week of fire fighting, the local authorities gave us the OK for last Friday's prehomecoming bonfire. Atte ndance for the annual event was normal as the usual handful of students participated. The bonfire itself was a dandy, built by Circle K, who deserves the c r edit. After , all , they haq to find a whole new batch of wood after Mira Costa pulled off their annual stunts .
entertainment An ente rtainme nt assembly demand by the students was finally m e t last F riday when Palomar hosted the Good Time Singers. The usual assembly schedule was defied, and eve r yone seemed to adjust well to the 11:00 time slot in the s tudent union. The livel y s ingers were m e t with a satisfacto r y amount of enthusiasm, and hopefully Palomar will have more ent ertaining performers.
mid-terms Don't look now, but just ar ound the corner a r e mid-terms. T his repr esent s the semester as being half-over, a nd by now classes have thinned out, hopefully , to their normal size. Unfortunatel y, the pa rking problem hasn't been solved by t he drop-outs, and it looks like we' ll just have to face t he fact that Palomar is growing.
Jean Peasley A chat with Ronnie 's press secretary What we (the Focus staff) wanted originally · was an interview with Ronald Reagan. But it proved to be unobtainable. First I calle d his ---.....:...~--~---__, press secretary, Lyn Nofziger, and he assured me that absolutely no reporters would be talking to Reagan during his stay in San Diego, at least not in a formal press conference. So as we dwelled on what to do next, Focus advisor Theodore Kilman walked in and suggested interviewing Nofz ige r instead . Why not? So we made an appoint- · ment. i 1 Six of us waited tor him in the lobby o~ tq~ Hote l Del Coronado. There were two Focus photographers, three Focus reporters and the Telescope business manager, and later the two Telescope editors showed up. Until Nofziger saw our troops . he never knew he was in such de mand. We sat in the main dining hall, around a circular table drinking coffee. The atmosphere was relaxe d, informal. During the interview Nofziger probably drank a gallon of coffee. Seemingly ne r vous, yet friendly . he was appalled by the questions on education , s ome of which he could not answe r. Beside issues directly relating to junior colleges , he told us R eagan's view on Viet Nam. running for president, the recent charge on mental hospitals , and other such things . Talking to Reagan's right hand was almost better than talking to Reagan. I asked Nofzige r if he was going to the $100a-plate party fund-raising dinner which Reagan was attending that night. "Yes, unfortunately ," answered the weary press secretary. Our interview--which consisted of five reporters shooting out questions while two photographers snapped the pictures --will be printed in this semester's FOCUS. At the end of the interview, I couldn' t help from asking Nofziger just one more que stion. "Where's Reagan now ?" "Well , " s aid Nofz iger, " he 's sleeping."
campus commentary
Should ASB cards be mandatory? Most s tudents p urc hase ASB cards whe n t hey r egis te r at the beginning of the year. Howeve r, the purchase of ASB cards is not a r equirement for admission to the s tate junior colleges. And mos t s tudents probably are not aware of thi s fact. This year the California Junior College Stude nt Government Association may r ecomm end that a. s tude nt activities fee (ASB card) be made mandatory in a ll s t ate Junior Colleges . Stude nts we r e asked to give their r eaction to this proposal. MIKE ERNO, fr es hman-- "! agr ee with the proposal. .. I think that s ince stude nts in junior co lleges are given a free e ducation, the least they can do i s s upport the school by buying an ASB card. Stude nt governme nt i s s upported by the money a nd the r efore , the c ards should be mandatory." EDITH CALVERT. fr eshman-- " Yes, they he lp the student body as a whole and are used for good purpos es. The c ards go for the bette rment of all the s tude nts and s hould be ma ndatory."
ANNE YOTT, freshman--' 'Yes, People would organi ze a nd save the ir money if they had to buy a n ASB card. The cards help the school a nd stud ents a nd are beneficial for all. T hey definitely s hould be mandatory. If a person would n ot get a ny use out of his own ca rd, he would s till be b enefiting other s by buying it. '' RICHARD KRUG E R. sophomore--"Yes , it should b e mandatory. The school paper and othe r necessary functions have to be supported by the ASB. T he money can 't a ll come from football games and othe r act ivities. T here has to be some specific source." BECKY FORSYTHE, freshman, - -"If eve ryone be nefits . then it s hould be mandatory." CONNIE P L ETT, freshman--"No. Some people can' t affor d it a nd s hould not be m ad e to buy it."
FRANK DROPLA , f r eshm an--"No. Some people do not go for the act ivities that the ASB card supports . A person s hould have a c hoice. If he doesn't want to pay fo r it, he should not have to.'' NANCY CLINE, fr eshman--"No. Some stude nts don't like to go out for activities a nd should not have to buy a card if they don't want to." DONN WITT, sophomore - -"! don't have anythi ng against the cards being mandatory. T hey save students money in the long run. And they help school as a whole. Most s tudents don't know it' s n ot mandatory. though." TOM RIE S, fr eshman - -"Yes , the cards s hould b e mandatory. It gives the kids more sc hool sp irit. If they had to buy the cards, they would want to get their money' s worth, so they would go to more activities a nd this would boost spirit . "
