Vice-president of YR's resigns; election slated
Plans for AWS throughout the spring are many and varied. AWS officers met at President Debbie Hayward's house on February 2 to discus events to take place this spring. Mr. Marjorie Wallace, advisor, also attended the informal meeting and luncheon.
Steve Krueger submitted his resignation as first vice-president of the Young Republicans club Wednesday at the meeting of the executive board of the club. His letter of resignation as well as the selection of a successor will be voted on in the Young Republicans meeting today in P- 22 during the lunch hour. "Jess Ashcraft tries to run the club like a d i c tat o r s hip," Krueger said following his resignation. "We used to be one of the largest clubs on campus; now our attending membership is down to about a half dozen. The club treasury contained around $200 at the beginning of the year, but now we only have nine dollars," charges Krueger. Ashcraft, president of Yr's , denies the charges, saying, "Steve is just a little bit upset." Krueger states that he is not the only one dissatisfied with Ashcraft's leadership. "He is killing our membership , not to mention our treasury." "He likes to spend money like a drunken sailor, is intolerant of other people's political philosphies, and does not represent the mainstream of Republican thought." he continued. Ashcraft, son of former Assemblyman Hale Ashcraft, said after receiving the resignation that "all I've been doing is organizing the club's officers." "He just doesn't realize the scope of running a club," said the YR hea<;l. ''I was surprised and disappointed to hear of his resignation," explained Ashcraft, "I thought he would be one of the better officers." Kruege r says he and Ashcraft differ in their views on the Vietnam War. The journalism major is opposed to the U.S. involvment. Ashcraft says that he has not to the best of his knowledge, ever discussed the war with him . As to Krueger's accusations of Ashcraft's loose spending procedures, the YR president replied, "We only had $100 in the treasury when I took over and we still have $47.'' In rebuttal to his vice-president's charge of a reduction of the number of members in the club since Ashcraft gained office he stated, "I've never been to a meeting where there were less than 20 people in attendance." Krueger feels that there is present a lack of communication between the president and his officers. He cited as an example the student opinion poll recently conducted by the club. He says that Ashcraft mentioned the poll in late November and that was the last the vice-president heard of it until he discovered it in the corner of the Student Union after the table was already set up. The YR's were shaken up earlier in the year when their advisor, physics and engineering department head, William Bedford, resigned to join the Peace and Freedom Party.
The idea of a woman speaker on campus was proposed. Club members are investgating the possiblity of inviting Mrs. Jona Salk to speak during a regular assembly hour. The woman guest speaker would probably talk during Club Week, which is tentatively set for some time in March. This speech would be in accordance with ASB vice-president Paul Hauptman's recommendation that each club spsonor an event during Club Week. Three AWS appointees make plans for the spring semester.

from in 1959. She is a graduate ot St. Olaf College of Northfield , Minn., and has her masters from San Diego State. She was selected for her article in a national magazine published by the National Association of Women's Deans ·and counselors on her work in the design of a dormitory at Waldorf College. "I worked with the architect in its design,'' she commented. ''They incorpol'ated almost all of myrecommendations in the building itself." Senator Margaret Chase Smith said of the publication, ''Some of the young women in this book have been termed outstanding because they have responded with courage during a time of personal crisis. Others have given generously of their time, energy, money and talents to civic and church work. Others have performed with great ability in their chosen professional fields.'' After graduation from St. Olaf College, Mrs. Poole taught music in the Lake Mills, Iowa,area for two years, then completed work for her M.A. in San Diego. Part of her thesis was based on work as a housemother at Waldorf College and her help in dormitory design. The annual publication will appear in April and will be available in the library.

Campus tours, planetarium shows and and a question and answer period are a few of the events on the agenda for the annual Senior Women's day. The yearly welcoming of senior high school women will be held on Thursday, April 25. The officers voted against having a speaker at this time, thinking that a ql\estion and answer session would be more beneficial to incoming women. Women who have been graduated from Palomar in recent years will be invited to attend. These graduates will be from different areas: some will be married, other will be in the professional world and others will be women who have gone on to a four year college after P alomar "In this way the senior women can ask questions, not only on Palomar, but college life in gneral. Many of them will be planning to attend Palomar for only a year or two and will interested in their future after Palomar. In long range planning, the club officers also discussed the annual MotherDaughter fashion show. All women students are cordially invited to partake in the show to be held on May 10 in the Student Union. All AWS members will help with the upcoming tax override by partaking in a telephone blitz and by babysiting for parents of small chilren who like to leave home long enough to vote.
Three new appointments were also made during the meeting. They are Barbara Hart, AWS treasurer, Jan Harless, co-cultural chairman; and Linda Matz, social chairman. AWS meetings, held every Wednesday in F-23, are open to all womenstudents.
Playwriting talent developed in class Within the confines of Palomar Col.lege may be hiding such great talents as Edward ..:\,lbee or Henrik Ibsen. If there are, Frank White's new playwriting class is a sure bet to bring such talent out. White . Theatre Arts departmentchairman, established the course for the first time this semester ''for people who are interested in learning to write plays." There are approximately ten people in the course and each member will be required to wr ite a one-act play. The plays authored by the students will then be produced and directed by individuals selected by the author of the play. This, according to White, will enable tbe writer to see his play as the director tries to make sense out of it and as the actors try to make the dialogue seem real. "It's easy for the writer to look at his play on paper and say •that'§ a darn good play' but when he sees what happens when it is performed he has a good learning experience," commented White. The purpose of the class is to have the students learn the technical part of playwriting such as what an author uses as his source of idea for the play. White listed one of the majorproblems of the beginning writer is the fact that he tries to use real characters which seem interesting to him but in fact are very dull on the stage. Mostwriters try to use real happenings in their plays. However, White feels that, "the theatre is not life, but only an imitation of life." White cited five different means of getting ideas for plays. Playwriters can do plays about people they have met, old stories, news..Paper s, historicial inc idents, and biographies.
Registration for Concert Choir held open for day, night classes Registration for either of Director Joe Stanford's two upcoming Concert Choirs is being held open past t he registration deadline of February 9. There are two Concert classes, one meeting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1 p.m., and an evening class meeting at 7 p.m. on Tuesday evening. The present membership of the evening class is 35, and the daytime class has 45. Stanford said he hopes to raise the combined total to ·100 voices in prep-
paration for the May ll production of Arthur Honegger's Oratorio King David. The Oratorio will be produced in conjunction with the San Diego Symphony which will accompany the c o m b in e d choirs. The Oratorio will include narration and will feature professional soloists . Anyone having a desire to participate is urged by Stanford to sign up immediately for either the daytime or evening choir. The classes carry a value of one unit each.
Photographic work of about 15 students is currently on display in the Phil Putnam Library. The photographs will remain there until February 25. At that time they will displayed at the Escondio Mall along with art work done by Palomar students. "There are three panels of Photographs according to Justus Ahrend, photography instructor. The panels include abstract photographs, a picture essay on Vista and creative photography. The abstract photos were done by last semester's advanced photography class. All pictures are asbtract ions of items photographed on campus. Copies of these picture were inserted into the Fall 1967 magazine. Don Bartletti of Vista did the photo essay on his home town. A photo essay is a collection of photographs which tell a story completely. When done on a town, the essay must hit all aspects of city living, such as occupations, recreations and industry. A credited night class in creative photgraphy furnished the many different creative shots. "The creative photographs were the result of assignment in pattern, texture, movement, perspective, tone and composition," Ahrend said.

V-ocalist describes children
Protest song analyzes children's world tn meaningful lyrics By Cecelia Another new song has recently been released. It's called "Skip a Rope." Unlike most of today's records, "Skip a Rope" has a rather slow moving tempo. Another distinguishing feature is the lyrics. Instead of chanting about a lost love or a favorite girl as most singers do, the vocalist describes children at play. Despite its variance from the usual record disc, "Skip a Rope" made the top 30 at a local station in about two weeks. A week later it was number five. The first time I heard the record I knew it would be a hit. Not only does it have a good beat, but it also has the one factor which is helping to make a lot of smashes these days. That factor is meaning. Behind the rather gruesome, superficial, rhyming words in "Skip a Rop~," there is meaning. The second time I heard the song on a mil 'ion dollar weekend. The 1 yri~s were mixed with those of the ~olden oldies. The mixture of the old

"Listen to the Rhythm of the Falling Rain"--the singer was having problems, ao hf' {nd what the A.verage American boy of the ;times. would do. He cried. But today the fellow tells us he goes to a park "to get high and touch the sky there" in order to get way from it all. I saw how simple tr1e songs were when I Wab a "teenybopper.

Lodico "Play to win. And hate your neighbor for the shade of his skin. Listen to the children while they play. Ain't it kinda funny what the children say." The repetition of the lyrics caused another flash back. I recalled some of the songs Isang while at play. "Farmer in the Dell" and "Ring around the Rosey" came to mind. Both seemed pretty harmless when compared to "Skip a Rope." When the singer said "Mommy and Daddy are whose to blame " I understood the song's meaning. It's an analysis of the kind of world children are being brought up in. And it's a protest against those raising them--the parents.
Of course, the whole song is exaggerated for effect. Kids are still singing "Farmer in the Dell" and "Ring around the Rosey. " But, perhaps, as the vocalist believes, parents really aren't setting the example and rearing their children as they should. And maybe the singer is right. "It's really not very funny what the children say."

Letter to the editor ~udent criticizes purpa;e, Peace and Freedom club praise Editor: I was as Moffet would say, "sick to my stomach" after reading the 25 January issue of The Telescope. The purpose of our newspaper is to report the facts to the student body, not to interpret them. I am positive that the student body of Palomar College is able to interpret the facts of the recent ASB election without the help of Jerry Nicholas . To me, praising the Peace and Freedom Club seems rather ridiculous. There is no doubt that the Peace andF reedom Party or the Peace and Freedom Club lost the recent ASB elections. To say that Peace and Freedom Club really won is a foolish statement and a foolish argument. According to Jerry Nicholas, the Peace and Freedom Club is responsible for creating student interest in student government, the manning of the voting tables, for presenting theirp 1at form with honesty and for putting life into the ASB government at Palomar College. RUBBISH ! It appears that Jerry Nicholas lives in some idealistic world of his own. In other words, reality is not embraced or even considered. First of all, s-tudents -did not turn out to vote and to man the voting tables with a sudden new urge or desire in student government. Frankly, students do not care who controls their government as long as it is not the radical Peace and Freedom Club which is leftist oriented. In short, students turned out to defeat this political party, not because of government interest. I maintain that the Peace and Freedom Party was not

honest. They attempted to present their platform as a platform on ,both student policies and international policies. To me, this was all a guize . The Peace and Freedom Party wants the student offices of this college for power and to use these offices as loudspeakers for their political views. They could care le ss about the student body. I wonder how many times that his Peace and Freedom Party would use their offices to s p e a k a gainst the Vietnam War and other national issues in the hope of influencing students to demonstrate in favor of their viewpoints, if they had won the ASB elections. Lastly, the only life that the Peace and Freedom Club desired or for that matter still desires to put into ASB government is their own. In conclusion, I do not appreciate the motives of the Peace and Freedom Club as Jerry Nicholas would like. However, I do appreciate the motives of the student body, to defeat the Peace and Freedom Party and the Peace and Freedom Club. Jack Fennessy

Futuristic ideas fascinate the knowledge seekers of all gener ations. The specific generation most directly affected by futuristic thinking is the college student. We are in thethroes of building or tearing down our futures. Now is the time when we must make important decisions about the nature of our world. A world that we should help make and one which we will have to take res·ponibility for maintaining--Man has control over his destiny. More spec ifically destiny-making should involve people actively comm unicating their different "forecast" ideas in a continuous forum on a theme for the future. Once communications is e stab 1 is he d on a !)Ommon plane , new ideas and concepts may arise. In any futuristic discussion the participants must be cognizant of the world's present choices. All ramifications must be closely examined for the true and possible directions that the main choices offer society. Planning the future is more exciting than being told what it is going to be like. When part of your creativity is a part of a total concept or a series of concepts, the idea or plan becomes more tmp.ortant--the future becomes yours'. A PLURALISTIC COMM UNICATION HAPPENING A student group recently had the opportunity to learn what kinds of futures are possible and how they could create the kind of future they want. About 500 editors attend ing the College Editors' Conference sponsored by the United States stu·dent Press Association in Washington D. C. on Feb 1-4 were involved in "Alternative Futures and Present Choices." David Lloyd - Jones, the confe rence coordinator stated that the "theme was alternate futures and how to go about achieving them . It was to help editors to achieve s ignificant experiences that could c hange their futures .. .the conference was organized· along unconventional lines and with ne....w technologies. This communication happening was pluralistic and did in partt des ign itself. Delegates were interviewed and the interviewers developed sessions from the results. In this manner the de legation had the opportunity to plan a future event in which they would be actively participating. Panel discussions and seminars were held throughout the conference on topics related to the main theme. There was little opportunity for the total group to be addressed by one person. One of t he exceptions was the keynote discussion lead by Charles De._ Carlo of IBM: Robert Theobald, noted economist; Tom Kook, president of the Toronto Television Producers' Association; Alvin Toffler, editor-author and other resource people. Members of the audience were free to take a microphone and express their opinions on the topic "Alternative Futures and Present Choices." Theobald stated in the beginning, "We're all of us in this room beautiful self actualizing people ... we must say to each other we believe in you ... when we do that, the rate of growth will be incredible. " At this point an editor took the mike and commented, "Yeah, but who's going to get those damm ads·~, This is the way that it went--vastly different opinions and cynical remarks being actively contributed by the audience. This session enabled all to see the type of people and the type of thinking the leaders of the conference were concerned with. JESUS AND THE ESTABLISHMENT CHILDREN All possible political and social affilations were represented. There was a Hindu; Vassar Coeds; a Drop City person callep Jesus; a socialist; the militant New Left; Eastern Conservatives in force; the establishment children from all over; the confused; and those eager to explore, learn and communicate on all levels. The most active in this discussion was Peter Rabbit, formerly an advertising copy-writer, who is presently living in Drop City, a uptopian hippie community near Trinidad, Colorado. He was most vocal on the theme of "doing your thing." He commented, "When I speak about doing your own thing I mean joy and love." When he was asked for blue prints he became testy and offered, "You got to do it." A Washington Post reporter observed, "A man called Peter Rabbit was a principle performer in a kind of psychedlic, pyschological, educational circuit planned by USSPA." Many things were happening at once. A public Health Service display on "Signals in the Environment" was shown continuously throughout the conference. There was emphasis on communication games, which demonstrated both how understanding can come from stimulation and how relaxation makes creativity possibile. These games included "Network," a game by Inter-systems. It wa s planned to demonstrate the distortion of input information from a total field when put through the transmission process. A representative of USSPA stated the games "required abilities of participants to reconstruct a unified image from a variety of receptors' mosaic of information; it demonstrated one aspect of game principles, whereby players have limited information to analyze a total field." The game also gave the JOpportunity to discipline electronic media,.. Tuesday's column will relate two significant happenings at the convention.
