C has home-grown flower power Problem: how to have the best looking junior college campus in San Diego County and not spend much money. Head Gardener T. F. Jennings solution: grow your own plants from seeds . Jennings came to this conclusion 12 years ago and Palomar students have been enjoying the pleasant benefitssince. In 1956 when Jennings became Palomar's first official gardener, he decided to found a full-scale nursery operation. Today he manages a crew of five fulltime employees and 10 student worke rs. Their duties include the complete landscaping of the eve r -growing PC campus and maintenance ot the grounds . Jennings' nursery now includes a lathe house for seedlings , a green house for shade plants and a whole field full of larger plants . He keeps a large enough stock on hand to decorate any new additions to the campus . The gardener's latest project is landscaping the field to the west of the campus . It was recently purchased by the district. "We start with seeds in flats then transfer them to cans ." explains Jennings. "First into tiny cans then to quart, gallon, and five-gallon cans then into big tubs as they grow ." The collection includes almost every type of plant that grows in this area. matching many commercial nurseries. Jennings gets some plants from donations. but most of P alomar's flor a was
grown from seeds andd cuttings. He won't even attempt tO e stimate nuw many plants he has planted at Palomar, the num ber in his nursery collection at the present time. or the amount of money he has saved the taxpayers.
"We couldn't afford this nice campus if we had to buy all the plants on campus," said Jennings. Jennings, a life-time gardener, and his associates designed and installed all the sprinklers on campus.

Comets down Apaches for first win; but lose toSDCC Well, it was great while it lasted! Palomar College's basketball team, which ended an 18 game losing streak earlier this week, found itself in another tailspin Saturday night as the host Cornets dropped a 94-79 decision to San fHego City College in a Pacific Southwest Conference outing. City's win moved it to within onehalf game of league-leading Grossrnont and also netted the Knights a 2-0 edge in the three-game series with the Cornets this season. Palomar stands at 1-4 in PSC action. Palomar did make a game of it in the first half, jumping off to a 14-6 lead as Mike Judd and John Thatcher sparked the early drive and still held the upper hand at 25-24. But the Cornets were unable to half the scoring antics of Floyd Oliver over the next six minutes as the Knights' strong man poured in five field goals and the visitors raced to a nine-point lead. City carted a 10 point lead at inerrnission and any comeback on the part of the Cornets was limited to the initial four minutes of the. second half. Coach Joe Brennan's Cornets climbed to within 51-45, but that was the extent of the rally as the Knights' balanced attack and an effective man-forman full court press took it toll over
the remaining distance. Judd once again paced the Cornets with his hot shooting, netting 28 points for game honors, while teammates Waardenburg and Thatcher contributed 20-17. COMETS END 18 GAME LOSING STREAK ¡ Many people said it couldn't happend here. But it did! Palomar College's basketball team actually won a game. The phenomenon occured last Wednesday when the Cornets downed the Southwest Apaches 74-69 to break an unforgettable 18 game losing streak and move out of the PSC cellar. However this was only temporarily as with the Cornet's loss to San Diego City and the Apaches' victory over the Mesa Olympians the battle for lastplace became knotted once again. For the first time this year the Cornet squad was united in its offense as our players placed in the double figures. Mike Judd who has been the nottest member on the team through the last five games in scoring 37-20-22-23 points tallied 21 markers against the Apaches while team mates Rudy Waardenburg, Jon Thatcher, and Gary Farr netted 19, 15, and llpoints respectively. Palomar took the lead with 2:59 remaining in the first half when Waar-
denburg bucketed two points to give the Cornets the lead at 32-21. The Cornets never trailed through the rest of the contest and led at halftime 38-36. The difference in the game proved to be the Cornets ability to hold the ball in the closing minutes--something thev have not been able to do all season\ "I really didn't know what to think in those 'closing minutes," said Brennan. "We had been that close so many times this season1 and we always blew it right at the wire . However, the kids carne through with the clutch plays and our stall worked for the first time this season to pull it out." Southwestern didn't go down to defeat without fighiin~ as the Apaches tied the game up at 63 all with less than four minutes left in the game when a jump shot by Bruce Van Dyke and a three point play by Dave Brewer enabled them to come from a 63-58 defecit to tie it up. The Cornets retalliated seconds-later to go ahead at 66-63 but Southwestern carne bck to trail by only one .68-67 with 1:36 remaining. Palomar went into its stall from this point on and Waardenburg sewed up matters from the Cornets with a steal and a n assist to Farr who buc;:keted two points to make the score 12-67. The Cornets continue their search for their second victory Thursday night when they travel to El Cajon for a contest with the Pacific Southwest Conference leader the Grossrnont Griffins.
