Second student canvass of voters for tax override slated Saturday Students and faculty members begin a second district-wide voter canvass Saturday in an effort to gain support for the March 12 tax override election. The door-to-door canvass, will continue in 16 of the 52 precincts in the college district. The main objectives of the program are "to show the citizens that the students are in support of the tax election and explain the need for it," stated Robert E. Bowman, dean of student activities. Student turnout for the voter canvass on Saturday was termed "Disappointing" by precinct leaders. Actual participants numbered about 50, far below the 200 who signed up earlier.

Steve Woodall, the spring semester editor of Focus magazine. Mike Gunderson is associate

Focus to bepublished twice this semester Focus, Palomar's boxed-in magazine , is changing format and publication frequency with the selection of the spring editorial staff. Steve Woodall has been appointed editor ; he co-edited the Telescope last semester. Associate editor is Mike Gunde rson, who was also on the Telescope staff last fall. The magazine will be published twice this semester, with the first issue out the week of April 1. The second issue will be published the week of May 21. The new 9x12 format is "going to stay away from the yearbook format and design in favor of a professional periodical approach," stated Woodall. "The magazine will have overall continuity and uniformity in the style and design. I want something with some journalistic identity and importance." Plans do not include a central theme for either issue. Highlights of the first issue include a section of student essays and opinion on any topic. The best of these works will be compiled in the front section of the magazine. Dialogues of campus speakers and interviews of general appeal are planned in addition to features and in-depth reports on campus happenings. Selected members of the faculty will receive special attention . Photo essays will again be incorporated on appropriate subjects. The editors are also planning a special section on the draft.

Debaters take second The debate team of Larry DeBoever and Gil Hain captured a second place certificate last Saturday at the first County Speech League Tournament at the University of San Diego. In receiving the certificate, DeBoever and Hain won over Southwestern and San Diego City junior college but were defeated by the San Diego State debate team. Also attending from Palomar College were Jan Hite, Jan Glasgow and Charlotte Vickers who won over Mesa College but lost against two San Diego State teams in the mixed open contest.

ASB eliminate its printing.

"The schools are failing in terms of what they are doing and what they can do," asserted Jack Quintero Thursday evening in the Faculty Lecture Series. Quintero said he had a four yearold boy ready to start kindergarten this fall. "I don't want to send him, and I don't know what to do about it." The comprehensive system of education

Motion to cut Focus defeated by Council A motion was made on the floor of the ASB council meeting yesterday by John Rice, ASB representative-at-large , to form a committee to investigate the possibilities of having a yearbook instead of Focus Magazine. Rice's motion was defeated by a 12-5 vote. Rice stated that the reason for his motion was that many students have voiced dissapproval of the magazine and a yearbook w o u 1 d be a better reference for students to remember what occurred during their stay at Palomar College. Members of the council who are involved with pub 1 i cations department voiced strong opposition to the motion saying that a person not involved in journalism has no right to judge the quality of a publication. An invitation was extended to all members of the council to attend a meeting of the magazine staff to see how the magazine operates. The publications department also stated _that the campus magazine has won several awards for small college magazines . The council also discussed the results of last Saturday's tax override voter canvass and made a plea for more student involvement to help contact more voters in the area. The election will be held next Tuesday.

coordinating class per week to discuss their job. Mrs. Renick works closely with an advisory committee in securing jobs for the students. The advisory committee is made up of employers of Palomar students. While working and attending school, "they (the students) apply what they are learning in an on-the-job situation," said Mrs. Reniok. She also remarked that "the first question always asked is if you've had any experience." This program gives the student a chance to get some good experience and also a reference, both important factors in obtaining future jobs. If a new student coming to Palomar doesn't already have a job, it is suggested that he take a campus job at first. In this way the student can learn better and be observed on the job at the same time. However, a student can retain a job he already holds. Mrs. Rennick will contact the employer so that they can work together thus helping the student. Enrollment is open to both men and women. The total enrollment at this time is 63, with nine men in the program. Students interested in the program can cantact Mrs. Renick for further information.

Students who cannot participate in either canvass will help form a remender telephone blitz on the weekend prior to election day. Members of campus club have pledged their services to help baby-sit for mothers so they can go to the polls. This student action is only one facet of the intensified campagin launched by the faculty, administration and Patrons. A large letter campaign was launched when the sample ballots were sent to district voters. The letters contained information on the importance of the measure and a reminder to vote.

Quintero knocks grade schools

Work Program gives students needed job experience while earning credits Looking for a job in a business office? Ask yourself the following questions: Am I a good typist? Can I take dictation , run a ditto machine, do a little bookkeeping? Am I fairly good at filing? These are only a few of the tasks working in a business office entails . If you're not as good as you'd like to be in the various fields , Mrs. Evelyn Rennick can remedy the situation. Mrs . Renick heads a new campus Work Experience Program. The program trains students in office work and then places them in jobs, both on and off campus. The program, which has two divisions, was first put into practice last semester. Working on campus for an instructor or someone who needs help from the business department is the first division. The job consists of working about four hours per week without pay. While working, the student attends a coordinating class once a week to discuss the job with Mrs. :Renick . "Each student receives two units pf credit for the course. Working off campus is the course's second section. This part entails working in a part time job 10 -20 hours a week and receiving three units of credit. These students also attend one

Dr. Huber commented on the effort, "It's the most effective thing that we can do; this is the tldlik that is going to tip the scales." Plans for Saturday are directed at attaining more students for the final canvass. The Fallbrook area is especially lacking in student response; five student appeared to canvass five precincts. Citizen response was favorable toward the canvassers and the tax issue. Students who signed up must meet at: Washf!Rt>n Park or Great Day Park in Escondido; Mayfair parking lot in Fallbrook; and at Washington Junior High in Vista.

used in primary schools today impedes "a man's natural inclination to seek the truth or learn," Quintero stated. The English teacher listed the educational agencies formed in order to help the school system's drop-outs, such as Job Corps, Community Action Centers, Drop-out Centers, VISTA, and military Education. "Why do we need all these things?," he asked. "Evidently the public school system is in need of help . " Student displeasure with school is evident in many forms. Quintero listed teacher evaluation forms , student demonstrations, drop-outs and violence in educational institutions among others . One example he used as the epitome of this accusation was the second grader coming home from a day of school as saying, "Boy, is school a drag!" "A teacher's job is not to teach but to help children learn," Quintero stated. He also said that the responsibility of learning has shifted from the parents to other children--that children learn from each other. This has shifted a great deal of responsibility onto the school system. Quintero outlined for his audience, the education system known as the montesorian mett>od. This is a svstem for training young children, emphasing free physical acti vity, informal and individual instruction, early development of writing and reading and extended sensory motor training. "I think this is the best system ," said Quintero. Another theory which Quintero outlined was that of the mini-school. A class would contain 28 students and four teachers. The faculty of the class would consist of a regular licensed instructor, a graduate student, a mother from the community and a high school graduate. Half of the class' activity would be investigating their community

Spring enrollment up 18% Board is tdd Spring enrollment for day classes is up about 18 per cent over spring semester last year. The rate of increase indicates a similar or higher percentage for next September. Robert L. Burton, dean of students , gave the spring enrollment report at the Board of Governors meeting last Tuesday night. Total enrollment in the day, evening and adult education classes is 5,568. This is an increase of 465 over last year's enrollmentof 5 ,103. Burton pointed out that the increase between spring of last year and this spring closely followed the pattern of the fall increase. Fall enrollment was up about 20 per cent over the previous fall figure. Comparisions in ~nrollment distribution between last spring and this spring are: Total regular day students now 2,253 , and in 1967, 1,923; regular evening students now, 1,916, and in 1967, 1,591; adult education students now 1,399, and in 1967, 1,589; not countedinthisfigures are 36 Navy and Marine Corps students in a special N a v a 1 program now, compared with 25 in the same category a year ago. "Based on this growth, and making the most conservative estimate of all available facts , including district high school enrollment, we can expect a September enrollment from 2,900 to 3,100 regular day students," Burtbn stated. The grand total of 5,568 enrollment this spring, s_,ompared with 5,103 a year ago, "makes it. certain that we are going to have the largest enrollment ever in September," Burton stressed.

environment, such as the different occupations employed locally. The other half would be along the present lines of comprehensive education. "There is a code all around us that tells us what's happening," Quintero said. "No one has to tell a child to learn to talk, he simply learns it by his environment. man has a natural inclination to learn.

International Oub banquet here Saturday "Fiesta Sa Nayon" has been selected as the theme of this year's International Club Banquet. The seventh annual event will be held Saturday March 9, in the Student Union at 6 p.m. Besides a meal of Syrian, Italian, Mexican, and Filipino origins, entertainment and demonstrations are scheduled for the evening. These include native dances, judo demonstrations, and a singing group performance. Proceeds from the event will go to the club's scholarship fund, according to Rick Freeman, club president. Tickets, priced at $2.50 , are available in the Student Union during the lunch hour at the Bookstore and will also be sold at the door.

Missing coat found The Yugoslavian coat stolen from the Dwight Boehm G a 11 e r y has been recovered , according to Dean Robert Burton. County Sheriffs arrested a suspect impounding the coat at the suspect's house. Sheriffs were notified by an anonymous informant as to the whereabouts of the coat. The coat was stolen sometime between January 15 and 19 , despite measures taken to prevent theft. According to Russell Baldwin, gallery director, the coat was nailed to a board to act as a coathanger. "The coat was installed with adequate regard to theft," said Baldwin.

Richard Peacock, English instructor, will present the final speech in the Evening Forum Series Thursday night in C-5 at 7 p.m. Peacock, a graduate of the University of Windsor in Canada and Wayne State University in Detroit, will speak on "McLuhanism, Media, and the College Freshman." The college Evening Forum Series was designed to present a number of varied ideas for discussion and thought and to allow instructors to state their personal views out of the classroom.

Canadian club formed The Maple 1 e af Society, a newly organized club on campus, will hold its first meeting Friday in S-7 at 11 a.m. According to its founders the group will promote Canada, the Canadian way of life, and Canadian travel. They plan .to distribute information on travel and immigration to Canada. A membership due of $1. 25 per semester will cover the optional cost of a Mapleleaf flag for car antennas. A constitution has been drafted, but must wait approval by the ASB Council and the membershi~ ~tt the first meeting.

State to take junior college rontrol out of district taxpayers hands Beginning July 1, all California junior colleges will be under the direction of a newly-created Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. According to O.J.Gibson, state planning and research secretary for education, the purpose of the board is "to provirle leadership and direction if the continuing development of junior colleges as an element in the structure of higher education is to be maintained." Gibson cited the tremendous growth of junior colleges as the primary factor in the creation of the board. He estimated that the present 80 campuses would increase to 100 by 1975, the greatest development occuring in the "highgrowth" areas of Southern California and the Greater Bay Area. The Coordinating Council for Higher Education is currently conducting a study to properly delineate the duties and responsibilities of the board which assumes office on July 1. Of the 15 board members, appointed

by Governor Ronald Reagan on January 15, only one, Thomas V.A. Wornharn, budget supervisor for Robert- Schott Inc. , is from San Diego county. Academic requirements for junior colleges, formerly under the control of the local board , are also regulated by fue state. The 1967 State Board of Education established uniform minimums for grade point averages. The probational and dismissal procedures for poor academic achievement are enumerated in Title V of the State Regulatiqns. However , the methods of financing junior colleges will remain unchanged, the primary source of revenue being local property taxes. O.J. Gibson reports that in 1964-65 , the latest year for which such figures are available, the junior colleges received 69 per cent of their income from local sources, 25 per cent from the state , three per cent from the federal government and three per cent from miscellaneous sources.

Telescope adds regular two colors By Cecelia Lodico According to the standard Julian cal endar, today is the first Tuesday of the fifth week of the second semester of this 1967-68 school year. Or, simply, nearly 25 per cent of this semester has already passed by. We have been publishing the Telescope for three and one half weeks now. But last week was the first time the Telescope was entirely a campus production from beginning to end . Up until last week, the Telescope was sent to a local shop to be printed. But Jim McNutt, our graphics arts aavisor, has just recovered from an Ulness. So we put him to work right away. And McNutt began printing the paper last week. The reason for the different quality paper used in the last weeks is because we were sending the Telescope to twodifferentprinters. Now that McNutt and his graphic arts class is handling the job, the Telescope will continue to

be printed on the white book paper. I have been informed that manypeople still don't realize that the Telescope is printed bi-weekly. Beginning this Friday, the Telescope will add a little color to its face by stating "Friday Edition" iri red at the top of page one. The Tuesday paper will follow suit with the words "Tuesday Edition" in blue. Having a publication twice a week enables the Telescope to print the latest in campus news. Since the Telescope is truly a campus newspaper, we welcome both letters to the editor and guest editorials . Guest editorials are opinionated articles by students not on the newspaper staff. (Both letters and articles must be tyP· written and signed .) Bi-weekly editions , the latest news , letters, guest editorials and a new touch of color are a few of the ways we are trying to improve the Telescope as this semester rolls on.

First to complain, last to help By Cecelia Lodico All of the Student Council members and many others not on the governing body are working hard to push the upcoming tax override. On the other hand , many students are riot. Too many stude nts are not working for the override at all . Many voter district captains have remarked that people who signed up did not show up last Saturday. And these s ame people have also refused to help in this Saturday's second voter canvass. It seems odd that students who benefit s o much from this campus are not willing to give up even one day of their time . Granted, many work part of the day. However, even one or two hours

worth of canvassing work is greatly appreciated by the council. 1'nose involved in last Saturday's canvass were generally the same people who are involved in everything on this campus. Students in government , club leaders and club membe rs. These people know a favorable vote on March 12 will affect Palomar for the next five years. Perhaps, the students who are not involved realize the issue at hand but just don't care. And yet these same p eople are always the first to find fault and complain in regard to this campus . Need we say more?

Student commentary

Students affirm policy A most controversial and important subject to students is whether or not admin istrative action should be taken against students who are arrested for a narcotics violation. Our policy is that no administrative action will be taken against the student in the form of dismiss al. unless he is found in possession of narcotics on campus.

Question: Should students be suspended from school if the student is arrested on a narcotics charge? Jerry Reily-Freshman- No , because it is just a charge. If he is convicted, then he should be suspended. Louella <ord- Sophomore .No , Anyone can be charged with this. Should be suspended only if found guilty. Mrs. Gainer- Sophomore. No, unless he is caught with it in his possession on the school grounds. If he is convicted, then he should be excluded. Pat Musto-Freshman- It depends on the narcotics. If it's marijuana, no only if they are the more dangerous drugs. Ron Simecka- Sophomore. No. A person is innocent until he's proven guilty. It would be the same as having a "police state" and we shouldn't have it. On campus it's a different policy. S. F. Connelly- F reshman. · No , our c ollege is an institution of higher learning not a court. By susp~nding_ this student y~u are prejudging him, finding h1m guilty and sentenc mg him. The only justification for such an act would be if the student committed a crime on c ampus. D.S. Wortz- Sophomore . No , an arrest on any charge is not conviction. The basic philosophy of our judic ial s yste m is to maintain an individual ' s innoc ence until court process has proven otherwise, to suspend a student for arrest would therefore be an assumption of guilt and a denial of the feduciary basis of amer ican law. R. Fleming- F reshman . No! If the arrest if justified the offender will be punished by proper off campus authority. The s tudent should not be held responsible for ~ off campus actions by the college administration. If the offense takes place on campus it justifies administrative action. Bob Nelson- Sophomore. He roin pushers - yes. STP - LSD once hard core psychedelic drugs yes ; Possession once use of marijuana - no. Selling marijuana to other students - yes . All suspensions should be c onside red for suspension only after a court convic tion of the student . These views deal with suspension from school--not with legalizing any of these "drugs." Bill Durkin- Freshman . It has nothing to do with s c hool. He should be given the opposrtunity to withdraw. Mark Token-Freshman. It depends on the situation. It's an extra-curricular activity that has nothing to do with school. Gorden Stubblefield- Sophomore . No . J ust being arrested doesn't mean he's guilty. If he's guilty that•, ..... .:::tirely different story. Phil Phillips- Sophomore. There are two ways to Taking dope has nothing to look at the situation. do with going to school or the student's ability or reason for going to school.

Oear Light shines on Circle K dance Friday By Steve Schneider Freak out with the "Clear Light" at Palomar College! The "Light" is coming to the Student Union Friday night to perform for Circle K's dance-concert along with "Mother's Father," a local band. Hailing from the Los Angeles area, the "Light" currently has an album out cleverly titled the "Clear Light." The group fe atures the unusual sound of double drumming provided by Michael Ney and Dallas Taylor. Their lead singer, Cliff De Young, strongly resembles Jim Morrison of the "Doors." "Light" was discovered and cultivated by Paul Rothchild, the same man that helped the "Doors" on the road to fame. The band received a favorable review in EYE magazine in an article thatcompared them to the "Doors." " ... on their first album "Clear Light" has already passed a point that the Doors haven't even reached on their second. " Their music is a combination of the Doors, the Byrds , and a little bit of the Beatles but the "Light" comes through with sounds of its own to surpass those

of its predecessors. "Mother's Father" is a relatively new band formed in the North County but was well received at a recent dance in Carlsbad. The dance will also feature a light show by the "Electric Trip," Possibly the "Light's" best number on their album is "Mr. Blue." This seven minute long · song according to EYE magazine " ... exposes the inherent threat of social reprisal that hangs over the head of a freethinker. It's a study in outraged paranoia." Phrases like "You've got a slot to fill" and 'tthink of it as sense and not surrender" addto the mood of Mr. Blue. The song comes to a dramatic close with ''But never think again, that you can ever think again, or you'll get something you'll remember." The "Mother's Father" will open the dance and play from 8-10 p.m. and the "Light" will perform from then till midnight. Tickets are $1.50 per person and will be sold only at the door.

"My name is and I'm a student at Palomar Co 11 e g e. We're calling on some of the voters ... My name is .. " There we sat in the car practicing our introduction speech and terrified to contact the voters. Minutes before, my friend and I had been a part of a small group assembled in a parking lot listening to instructions on how to convass a town. A r m e d with the latest knowledge on solicitor and litter laws, all the answers on the tax override election, a map and voter reminder tickets, we were m ate rially prepared to win the election for Palomar. We were beautiful with our buttons and ribbons pinned to our collegiate attire. If the citizen couldn't understand our nervous explainations they could at least read our message clearly. Two quaking members of Palomar's student power sat in the car practicing: "O.K. Who does the talking at the door?" No response from partner, just an oh-no-not-me-you've-got-to-be-kidding look. "I've got it! We'll alternate, you do the first one and I'll do the .. " Response from partner, "Oh, no! Not me Pal , you've got to be kidding?!" "O.K. I'll do the talking, I used to sell Girl Scout cookies." FOUR LEGGED MINDBLOWERS Reactions were favorable, people grinned and even laughed at our nervousness, but they realized that we were sincere in our effort. Most people were very interested in what we had to say and flattered by the personal contact. It was turning out to be a successful day afterall. My dog's paranoia had repressed itself until this next visit. We decided to drive up this particular drive because we had to move the car anyway. Good thing. The minute we stopped the car, a girl opened the door, and two huge, oversized, barking, jumping German Shepherds bounded out the door. I was halfway out the car door and just froze. I have nothing against shepherds. after all , from the mother country and all of that , but two at once! My partner stayed in the car. Nice doggy, all 150 pounds of you. Newspaper people doen't taste very good, bitter flavor you know. Then I recognized the girl. A classmate, a friend who could control the four legged mind blowers. O.K. mind. Stop freaking out. It is all right and I can climb down off the roof. "Hello there! Just came to remind you to vote," trying to be cheerful while eyeing the dogs suspicously. "I don't vote," she answered and called the dogs . "Oh I know, but your parents do. Will you give this reminde r slip to them?" stuffing it in her hand. Clunk. A shepherd dropped a piece of chewed up log near my foot. Now what do I do with that? It was his play thing. You were supposed to throw it for them. No thanks love. Mad dash to the car, throw it in reverse and roar down the driveway 'to the next experience. NO VOTERS AND PNEUMONIA Several visits later we came upon a man mowing his weeds with a power mower. Conveniently the thing stopped howling as we approached him and we identified ourselves. He was interested and asked us numerous questions. Then he announced that he wasn't registered to vote and go see his wife for a repeat performanc e. The only hang-up with this place was that it was very steep downhill. "What goes down must come up you know," my partner assessed. The wife loved Palomar because a daughter had been graduated from here. Since we were already way down in the ground, we decided to go to a house in back. It had a steep driveway going up. Gathering all strength we charged the hill and began to address the man cutting the hedge. "Oh, i•m so sorry that you had to climb all the way up here, we're just summer visitors and don't vote in this district," he lamented. Groovy, almost die of heat exhaustion to bring the word and then it's worth nothing. The gentleman then reassuringly added, "Oh well, it's good for your figure anyway," as we rolled down his hill. Whe n we got back fo the weed mowing man, he had the air full of pollen and dust. While suffering up his hill I contracted hayfever on top of my terminal tmeumonia and will probably wheez for the rest of the semester, or at least until the next canvass on Saturday.
