One might even venture to say that Palomar is speechless, leaderless and wordless. With Bakersfield and a first place in the State junior college s p e e c h championships, as its goal, the Palomar Forensics Squad left Wednesday afternoon.

Impromptu, expository, extemporane ous, or a 1 interpretation, oratorical (speech) analysis, oratory (persuasive) and team debate are the categories the 12 are entering. This year's debate topic is: "Resolved that the federal government s h o u 1 d guarantee a minimum cash income for all citizens." Jessica McNames rehearses for the play "Mother Courage." She plays Mother Courage, the leading part in the production. The play portrays the strug-
gle of a woman who operates a canteen wagon in her effort to keep her family alive during the 30 Years War in Europe.

Survival through war period Palomar joins millions of students Is theme for ~Mother Courage' In nationwide presidential poll
• Mother Courage," a play described as a chronicle of the 30 Years War of the early 17th century, will be presented in the drama lab next Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8 p.m. There will be one Saturday matinee beginning at 2p.m. ·written by Bartolt Brecht, a German noted for his out-spoken Marxist beliefs, the play centers around Mother Courage, a woman who pulls a canteen wagon around Europe following the army during the war. Mother Courage, portrayed by Jessica McNames, is responsible for supporting her children during a crucial, pressing war period. She has three children, a mute daughter, Kattrine, played by Danielle Corn; and two sons. As her brave son Eilif, is Bill Dehrke. Robert Hutchings acts as her
simple son, Swiss Cheese. Mother Courage has been claimed the finest of Brechts works, according to Frank White, drama instructor, as the play entails a demanding leading role and strange musical aspect. Brecht has been considered, perhaps, the most important contemporary playwrite. He has been influential through his work and his style copied repeatedly. He was not considered too popular in the U. S., probably because of his Marxist selfcommittments. This production is the first in the North County and the third attempt in San Diego County. The play, also running May 2, 3 and 4, will be open to the public. Admission is 75 cents for students and $1.50 for those without ASB cards.

If a libel suit were brought against "Likeitis," Palomar College is responsible for damages because the campus is used as an instrument of distribution d e s p i t e the fact that the paper is produced off campus. The Publications Board is currently seeking an opinion from the San Diego County Counsel as to the legality of the publication. In old business, ASB president Bob Thoreson announced that "Choice '68" would be held on campus next Wednesday. The program is a nationwide poll being conducted by Time-Life Inc. Students will vote for their choice of president, governor, ass em b 1 y men and others. Results will be compiled and reported in Time-Life media, with individual results being sent to the various campuses so that each college will know how it voted in comparison with the rest of the nation. A motion, defeated at the last Council meeting, was brought up again, passing with a 8-5 margin. The passage approplates $39 to Thoreson for a trip to a governor's convention at which ASB presidents will discuss campus problems with the governor. Thoreson agreed to pay for his own meals. Two sections to be discussed will deal with controversial literature distributed on campus and the lessening of administrative control over student government.

ICC sponsorship of peace strike motion defeated A motion to sponsor next Friday's International Student Strike for peace was defeated yesterday by a vote of two for, 12 against, one abstention, and two clubs absent at the ICC meeting. The motion was made after a representative of the campus Peace and Freedom Club made a presentation about the strike. It was made because the Peace and Freedom Club did not want to be the only organization sponsoring the international strike for_ peace. Tiu:ee specific goals of the international strike is to demonstrate against the United States' aggression against the Vietnamese people; the violation of the right to self-determination of the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America; and to act against the racist oppression of black America. The international student strike was born in the third annual conference of the Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam in Chicago late in January. The issue was brought before the conference by the newly formed National Black Anti-War, Anti-Draft Union and was overwhelmingly approved by the delegates. The vote was 875 to 25. Students organizing the strike at Palomar have been busy lining up activities throughout the day of the strike to interest those participating. Tentative plans include several rock bands, speakers for a rally during the day, an arts and crafts exhibit and many flowers. The strike is intended to be a political strike, not merely a student power strike. The SMCEWV feels that a political strike is a higher -form _of action than is a power strike.
