Unification vote forc,ed F ormation of a single north county junior college district was unanimously approved by the State Board of Education on Nov. 10 despite consistent protests voiced by Palomar. ''An election will be held as soon as it's feasible," said Dr. Werner Dickmann, an assistant San Diego County schools superintendent , assuming the Board of Supervisors will appropriate money to cover e lection costs. Willingness to delay the election until June 7, if it is possible to consolidate with the 1968 primary, was indicated in the past by Dr. Cecil D. Hardesty, county superintendent of schools. The state Board's proposal , is a component in a county master plan developed in a two year study by the County Committee on School District Organi zation. The Smithsonian Institute exhibit on the American flag will continue in the Dwight Boehm Gallery through Friday. Objects
on display include posters, lithographs, a campaign banner and advertising matter. (Photo by Mario Jimenez)
Students offered three choices for 11ew assembly schedule Scott Bowma n, Assembly Schedule Committee Chairman, out I in e d three choices to the ASB council during Monday's meeting, as solutions to the student body demand to investigate the current assembly schedule. These choices will be presented to the student body as an opinion poll this week in their physic a 1 education courses, where 96% of the students can be reached. The three choices are: 1. To leave the assembly schedule as it now stands. 2. To use a rotation basis and alternate scheduling of the assembly between 9 and 10 a.m., therefore canceling a total of three or four of any one class during the semester. 3. To use the 11 a .m. assembly hour, which would necessitate the closing down of the snack bar due to loud noise (this rule holds to assemblies featuring speakers). Bowman admitted that any one ofthese three choices will not accommodate everyone, and s tated "People who want assemblies are going to have to give up something.'' The opinion poll is not an election, but a census to give the council an indication of what the student body would prefer. While the results of the poll may sway the final decis ion one way or another, it will not determ ine it. REPS CHOSEN BY ACADEMIC MAJOR In other council business. Jim Strong, chairman of the Judicial Committee, submitted a recommendation that Palomar be divided into representative dis.-
tricts. The districts would then be divided by academic majors. The major areas to be represented would include : physical education, business, engineering, science, art, humanities, industrial art, and at least one representative for undeclared majors. Each area would designate a space, or office, for the representative of that area, where the students could contact him at any time. Voting on this recommendation was postponed by ASB President Jon Mitchell until next week. ASB MEETINGS MOVE TO P-32 It was also recommended by the Judicial Committee that the ASB council move their meetings from R-3 to P-32 to accommodate members of the student body wishing to sit in on council meetings, which are open to everyone. The currentmeetingplace, R-3, would then be turned into office space for the representatives. Voting for this recommendation was also postponed until next week. MONEY APPROPRIATED TO ARCHERY Palomar's archery team was appropriated $116 ("if available") out of ASB funds in order that the team c ould fly to Tempe, Arizona on Thursday and compete in a championship tournament. The archery team is financially sup-· ported by WRA, and had arranged transportation to the tournament by car. But Miss Mildred Ayers, who requested the appropriation, felt that byflying,the team would perform better than after many hours of traveling by car.

Cousins cites nuclear peril eruption of public opinion" needed to transform the United Nations into an effective agency for the enforcement of world law . "There are in the world military s tockpiles, 30,000 pounds of explos ive in reserve for each nerson on earth. There are not 30,000 pounds of food in reserve. There are not 30,000 pounds of medicines. Or school books." The "Shock-pro~ generation," he says has adjusted t9' the threat. "By s hock proff generation," he states, "I don't mean just young--I mean all of us. We've become desensitzed to those values that make life worth living and indeed possible." "The nations of the world, prodded by their peoples , should finish the work begun in San Francisco in 1945. '' He desc ribed the world s ituation as the mos t precarious in history that leaves humanity no "margin for er ror .'' The question is not whether we've going to have a world govern ment, but rather what kind of government we've going to have ." Cousins describes the UN as "totally ineffective" as it is now and says it must have a foundation of enforceable worl law. He ventured that the UN is

H award to speak
no 'margin of error'
The existence of humanity could well depend on whether or not the United Nations is s trengthened into an agency for impos ition and enforcement of m eaningful world law, said Norman Cousins . Sunday night. · Cousins, editor of the Saturday Review and president of the World Federalists Organization, spoke in the Student Union Building to a crowd of about 300. Cous ins said the purpose of his organization is to "promote the volc anic
The C o u n t y Committee recommended the one district plan to the state over strong Palomar and MiraCostaprotests. Recently an issue of legality of representation on the county board was brought up by P a 1om a r board member Milo Shadle, attorney. He stated that certain districts in the county, including Palomar, could not be represented by candidates for committee vacancies. Board members said the make-up of the county committee results in a decision of great importance being reached without represenation opportunity from some of the areas involved. They were referring to the one district to the state by the county c ommittee. Dr. Huber, Palomar president, went to the State Board with two proposals. He tried without success to persuade the

After his speech which he had accused the United States of r·~ fusi ,1g to negotiate early in the Vi etnam wa·r . the president of the United World Federalists said that the US s hould stop the bombing of Nort!1 Vietnam immediately as a r e quirement for beginning negotiations.

He said that his organization was col lecting signatures to present to the nations of the worl in a human manifesto calling for a world government. Cousins, author of among other things, "A New Social Contract" warned that people "cannot expect the governm e ut to take the initiative" in the formation of int ernat ~·)nal government.

board to withhold action until a long range study is completed of future north county junior college needs. The study was suggested and supported by Palomar contingent on support from MiraCosta, San Dieguito Union High School District, Ramona Unified District, Julian Union High School and Borrego Springs. The second proposal was to couple a new district plan with a bond issue to construct buildings. State board president Dorfan Commons was in opposition and stated the plan is "not a sound approach," despite Dr. Huber's references to junior college districts which have been formed elsewhere in the state only to flounder because of lack of funds.

Peace and Freedom coordinator speaks Jack Weinberg, statewide coordinator for the Peace and Freedom Party, will speak in P -32 Friday at 8 p.m. His talk was arranged by the San Diego County Peace and F reedom Party. Weinberg gained national prominence in 1964 when he and Mario Savio started the Free Speech Movement at UC Berkeley. When Weinberg was arrested at a campus CORE table it triggered an unplanned "sit-in" by 5,000 students that lasted 33 1/2 hours. Weinberg is speaking at several campuses in the county, among them MiraCosta where more than 100 students petitioned the administration to allow him to speak. He will also speak at 'Mesa, California Western, Grossmont, Southwestern, UCSD, and San Diego State. Weinberg, currently a research assistant to author Paul Jacobs, is credited with originating the phrase: "You can't trust anyone over thirty." He is now 29.
McKelvey motion to abolish Narcotics Committee tabled The paradoxical highlight of the Committee to Investigate Controversial Drugs Friday meeting was the motion by Bob McKelvey, the Chairman of the Committee on Committees. He called for abolishment of the study s tating, "there are deeper implications in this study by the committee." He feels the committee stands to gain nothing and t hat it owes it to the college and the community to drop the study. McKelvey's motion was tabled until the next meeting Friday at 12!25 in the administrative conference room . Hal Cheyney, zoology instructor, felt the s tudy "would be turning up things on this campus and this was not to be a witch hunt on Palomar College campus but an e ducational survey, but not a committee to turn up anything. With this idea in mind, Cheyney opposed the motion. The cong r ess was formerly the Narcotics Committee. Three co-chairmen, Steve Woodall, Telescope co - e ditor; Mary Adams, student nurse; and Theodore Kilman, dean of community and adult services and evening division; were e lected to head the group. . The Committee on Committees gave their support to the formation of permanent committees. The congress accepted four committees. The Programs and Arragement Committee s hall be responsible for handling speaking engagements and arrangments. Bibliography and Research Committee is to compile a dictionary and make the mate rials of their study available in the library. The Public Relations Committee shall be responsible fo r the secretarial duties , posting the minutes and contacting the newspapers . The Agenda Committee shall be responsible for selectingpeople
to serve on various committees. It was decided that it would be effective to have everyone involved on a committe of their choice . The purpose of the Agenda Committee is to bring accomendations to the parent committee and to decide on a goal. Since drugs cover a broad phase, the question was raised as to the amount of coverage. The suggestion was made that t he scope of research be limited to marijuana (pot) , LSO and stimulants. The question was raised on how to approach this is we are looking at the problem in our c ommunity. The comm ittee fleLi should be approached from both a psychologicial and physiological aspect, and thos e drugs are being used to help mankind.
