ASB elections declared invalid Violations force new eledion Wednesday Bill White, ASB Judicial Chairman, has announced that the student body elections held last Friday are invalid. The invalidation was based on the violation of the Election Code and also dissent among many of the students and canidates. The new elections will be held Wednesday. All candidates will give their speeches Monday. "Basically the Election Code is adequate," according to White, "and all it needs is enforcing. However, finding people to help run activities efficiently is difficult, especially on this campus, where student participation is almost non-existent." · "There are many items that we are considering adding to the Election Code," stated White. "Some of them being to set dates for filing applications, allowing for speeches by all candidates, publishing articles about each candidate in the Telescope, and making an assembly for the introduction of candidates mandatory. Also we are considering the possibility of a petition. This would require a person seeking an office to get out ana at least meet people., White stated that there were fundamental violations that should not be allowed in any election. Some of the violations that were evident, according to White, were electioneering within 50 feet of the polls, some of those voting
not presenting signed student identification cards, and many students not signing their name and/ or student identification card number on the signature papers provided." "Some students who were running for an office had absolutely no publicity. And as for the publicity given to the election itself, that was somewhat of a farce." White also made it clear that in the future, elections would be run in accordance with the Election Code and that any candidate violating this code would be subject to disqualification. Many students voiced a dissatisfaction as to the amount of publicity that was given. "Of the 314 ballots cast, according to White, a large amount of them had derogatory remarks concerning the election procedures and the candidates'
According to Simecka, the dance policy requested last spring was composed by himself, Bill White, Kathy Taft, and Kim Clark, then refused by Dr. John Schettler, finance adviser of the college early this semester. According to Simecka, it was refused because of poor grammar rather than because of any basic weakness ofthe policy itself. The wording has been clarified and now awaits final rewriting by the committee before it will be resubmitted to
"All of the remarks on the ballots brought out one important point which seems to be becoming quite noticeable on a lot of college campuses throughout the country," stated White, "and this point is the lack of student participation. It seems that it is the same students that do all the work and when the work isn't done properly, the students that haven't worked are always the first to complain."
Inter-club tricycle race to open Club Week action Palomar's second annual "club week" festivities begin Monday with a rerun of last year's tricycle race sponsered by· the Pep club and inter-club council. Racers will follow the course set last year by the then ASB vice-President Paul Hauptman. Beginning at the flag
Administration downs dance policy; Ashcraft to head rewrite committee Newly written dance guidelines have been refused by the Adminstrative Council, according to Ron Simecka, ASB vice president. The wording is to be changed by a committee headed by D. Jess Ashcraft and resubmitted to the Council sometime in the next two weeks.
campaigns. Some of the remarks were as follows: 1) "Introductions and campaigns should be mandatory," 2) "let's get some publicity," 3) "who are these people, why weren't we informed"? 4) "Should have candidates present a speech," 5) "how can you expect one to vote, if he doesn't know any of the candidates," and 6) "the candidates should campaign."
Simecka says that the policy will be more of a guideline to help clubs and off campus organizations organize dances. The vice-president claims that most first year students could not, if they desired organize a dance on this campus. The rules, or guidelines as Simecka prefers them called, will bar non-students from the dances. School disability insurance is invalidated when a non-school person enters the dance. The financial responsibility -for any damage or injuries is then left to the group sponsering the dance. Simecka hopes that, through the guidelines, students will learn from the present leader•s· mistakes in planning and executing dances.
pole in front of the Student Union building, the racers then depart onto their seperate race courses , one set aside for each sex. Women will start at the flagpole, then head towards the chemistry building, then turn left to pass the life science buildings. Turning left again, racers will streak by the library to the men's locker building, the racers will put on a last burst of speed for a driving finish at the flagpole. The men's course begins at the flagpole, but turns past the science wing to the earth-life science complex. Turning south the racers will pass the library and head north through the earth science department. From there the racers must climb the stairs and head toward the "P" wing of the school At the "P" wing, the men will turn into parking lot number two for the last lap of their race. The combination of gravity and the last surge of speed should send the men speeding past the finish line at the flag pole. The tricycle race is but the first of many events planned for the second annual Club Week, stated Ron Simecka, ASB vice president. Weather permitting, later in the week there will be another kite-flying contest, with other events not firm at press time. Club Scope, a special newspaper to be printed by the InterClub Council, was cancelled Tuesday due to a lack of interest on the part of the clubs.
Art department adds sculpture to campus scene
~
--·
As you walk around thecampusofPalomar College, you cannot help but notice the many pieces of sculpture scattered about. They did not just grow there. Some are the work of nationally known artists, such as the ceramic sculpture outside the Boehm Gallery, by Michael Arntz. Each year the art department is alloted a sum of money to purchase new paintings and/ or sculpture for the Boehm Gallery and the grounds. Over the past three : years the collection has increased, in value and is now worth over $4000. Much of the sculpture was done by Palomar students. Any student who has been enrolled in an art class for one semester or more may submit his idea f<r a sculpture or mosaic to any theacher in the art department. Rick Cole, an art major, thinks this is a good program because, "It makes possible for the student to do individual work, work that c_ouldn't be" done otherwise, because of money because ft would be too hard to fit the work into a regular class.

Cole has made the most recent addition to the collection of s_c\ll_pture on campus, it is thE large wooden · sculpture,located near the library. Cole spentaproxmately 126 hours on it during the months of April-July. Unfortunately, the large amounts of water sprayed on it by the sprinkling system is weakening_ the glue and some of the blocks are falling off. Cole requests that the student3 do not touch either the sculpture or the fallen blocks.

ASB Council decides •
•
to revamp const1tut1on When all else fails, start over. This seems to be the motto of this year's ASB Council following Monday's student council meeting. The ASB constitution along with the publicity code, elections code, judicial code and the dance policy will all be rewritten and submitted to the student council for ratification. Next Monday's meeting will be a very decisive one as several major issues will be voted on including approval of the free speech area as well as ratification of the new constitution and the various codes according to ASB president Kim Clark. Judicial chairman of the Student Body, Bill White, has rewritten the college's constitution because certain parts have become obsolete. The major change in the constitution will deal with Article II, Section I, which reads, "A quorum shall consist of two-thirds of the voting members of' the executive council." Presently, according to White, the executive council consists of four people, making it impossible to obtain a two-thirds majority. The new constitution will read, "A quorum shall consist of two-thirds of the voting members of the Associated Student Body Council." Under the present constitution four people could make all rulings rendering the student council useless. Several items of the publicity code need to be rewritten, according to Clark, due to the fact that they do not lay down guidelines which can be easily interpreted and enforced concerning all on-campus publicity. The student council was forced into the realization that the elections code
needed to be changed following the recent ASB elections when several portions of the code were violated. The judicial code is probably undergoing the most extensive revamping of any of the parts of the constitution. The code is being changed in order that t he judicial branch of student government will be able to operate more eff iciently. Under the new set-up to be voted on Monday, the judicial commissioner will have a vote on the student council but will not be a voting member of the judicial committee. Instead, he will act as either defense attorney or prosecutor during cases brought before the committee. One ·of the other members of the committee will also act as defense or prosecutor thus leaving five members of the committee to act as the jury. Those five committee members cannot be members of the Associated Student Council or any club or organization on campus. Jess Ashcraft was appointed as chairman of the committee to rewrite the dance policy following its refusal by the Administrative Council. Other business taken care of in Monday's meeting was a building fund which has been started aiming toward the goal of raising $100,000 for a new bookstore. The fund will receive money left over at the end of the year as well as contributions from individuals. It was also decided that there will be correspondence representatives to the Faculty Senate and the Curriculum Committee. Clark will act as a correspondent to the Administrative Council. The correspondent to the curriculum committee will be required to be a member of the student curriculum committee.
Cod~a revised over campus
publicity regulation conflict Disagreements · over the policing and regulation of on-campus publicity have led to a revision of the Publicity Code of the Associated Student Body Constitution. The code is being expanded and will clarify campus publicity. Revision of Article I of the Publicity Code will allow for an executive Publicity Committee made up of a director of publicity, one public commissioner from the ASB, one publicity chairman from the Inter-Club Council, and one publicity representative from each club on campus. The publicity committee will be responsible for clearing all campus publicity. • 'Tl.e committee is a student committee to police on-campus publicity. Under the revised edition of the cOde the publicity committee will have the right to decide whether publicity put up on campus is in accordance with the rules
and . regulations set up in the code. If an individual or club wants to further appeal its stand, they must go t o the judicial committee, which then decides the matter. "As it stands, the codeisincomplete," Clark said. "It just mentions where to put up signs and things like that." The code used now allows for a committee composed of a director of publicity appointed by the ASB president with the approval of the Council.

in Glendale, Arizona. The win placed Palomar 12th in the nation according to the J.C. Gridwire. The Comets, who will open their 1968 Southeastern Conference bid Saturday night, October 12 at Grossmont College have drawn a bye this week. It was a stingy unit that kept the Gauchos off the scoreboard and was probably the deciding factor in the upset win. Two key interceptions by Jim Dean added to numerous defensive plays by Kevin Kelly and Scott Bowman spelled out defeat for the highly regarded Arizonans Offensive-ly, Palomar clicked for 389 yards total offense; 297 yards of it on the ground. Glendale could manage only 177 yards total offense. Speedy Louie Ruiz found a hole over right tackle, broke a tackle on the line of sc rimmage, and scampe red 72 yards for the Comets' first score. Flanker Jack Ashby aided the second
Cage tourney slated soon Sixteen community college teams, including four conference champs, will participate in this years lOth Annual Palomar Invitational Basketball Tournament slated to begin December 4. The four-day tournament, regarded as the states best showcase for junior college basketball, will get a headstart on celebrating the 200th anniversary of the founding of San Diego by dedicating the extravaganza to this historical event. Palomar basketball mentor Joe Brennan is the meet director. The four schools with conference titles under their belts include Imperial Valley from the Desert Conference, San Diego City College of the Pacific Southwest Conference, Pasadena City College from the tough Western Conference and defending Tournament champs Allan Hancock College from the Central Conference. Besides the top flight college basketball talent, the four-day elimination tourney will feature several outstanding musical groups. Such potential All- American and Professional prospects include, San Diego City College's 6'7" forward Oscar Foster, Dave Mclncas, a 6'8" center from Ventura College, guards Sam Robinson and John Mills from Imperial Valley College
quarter play with a beautiful block on the Gaucho 20 Ruiz netted 100 yards on eight carries while teammate, Merle Gathers, Palomar's offensive workhorse, carried 22 times for 84 yards. John Houchin averaged 8.3 yards per carry, running the ball nine times for 75 yards. Comet quarterback Rocky Lucia connected on eight of 17 passes fo r 92 yards and four of them went to end Tim Titus who led the receivers with 72 ya1Js. Defensive cornerback standout, Dean, picked off a Glendale aerial on the Gaucho 48 to put the Comets in position for their second touchdown. A 39 yard pass play from Lucia to Titus set up a 15 yard run by Gathers for the six points. The loss was Glendale's first in two starts. They had bumped off Imperial Valley 29-0.

Cross country squad loses to El Camino squad; tackle Grossmont 1n 'do or die' contest today Coach Doc Marrin's Comet crosscountry team comes off a loss this week to take on always-rough Grossmont College today at Santee Lake in the season's first conference meet. The squad will be trying to rebound from last week's 22-35 defeat at the hands of El Camino College. For the past several years, Grossmont and Palomar have been the two strongest teams in the Pacific Southwest Conference and · the two squads have developed a traditional rivalry. For the past two seasons, the winner of the Grossmont-Palomar meet has · gone on to capture the conference title, while the loser has finished second. The last time the Comet harriers were beaten in a conference tilt was back in the October of 1966 and that was to Grossmont. Doc Marrin's strategy for today's clash will be to somehow break up the Grossmont trio of John Rios, Bob Matheny and Jim Schact. Rios placed fifth last year in the C.I.F. finals and
at this time is Grossmont's swiftest performer . "All three of them ran faster than we did at Long Beach so they are the ones we must break up to win the meet," said Marrin. "Grossmonts quite confident and feel they should beat us this year," the coach continued. But he added that the morale of the Comet squad is high and that anything can happen. In an interview with The Telescope last week, Marrin said that the team's strongest point was its depth, in that on any given day, any one of the first seven starters could conceivably wind up in the number one spot. But he brought out that the main deficiency this season is the lack of a real standout, such as last year's superstar, Randy Hartman Today's meet should tell the tale of whether or not this lack will be a major factor. In the contest with · El Camino last
Friday, top honors went to the team who just came for the outing. Even though their score was not counted, national cross-country champs, Glendale (Ariz.) College turned in the top four times with their lead runner, Mancibaiz, clocking a blinding 20:56 on the rolling four mile course. El Camino's Ed Leighton finished fifth (or first, depending on who's doing the scoring) with a time of 21:32. Letterman Lee McComb was the first Comet to cross the finish line finishing eighth (third) in 21:58.
Letters to the Editor Dear Editor, There comes a time, even in student e lections, when certain rules governing election procedure must be followed. During the ASB elections last week we encountered a peak of chaotic behavior at the polls. The ASB must prevent this in the future. For those in the student body who did not realize that there were elections last week, your position is easily understood, very few students did know. I, as a candidate, knew few of the potential council members. In the past, it had been unwritten policy to devote an assembly or a lunch period to introduce candidates to the students. For some r eason this policy was not followed this year.
Business class visits San Marcos enterprise Dr. George W. Toll last week took 37 Introduction to Business students to visit Verne Kahler Enterprises located at Rancho La Paz in San Marcos. Mr. Kahler, sometimes called "Mr. Free Enterprise", gave students a formula for sucess in American Business by using the freedoms of our business system to set goals and reach for them "through study and by being a proud American."
Moustache contest set The Homecom ing Committee is conducting a contest to see which men on campus can grow the most beautiful,t.he longest and the most unusual handlebar mustache by Homecoming on November 23. Any one interested in participating in the conte;;t should begin growing their mustache now. Theme for this year's Homecoming is ''the Golden Years.'' Foprics
Comet harriers practicing are: front 1 to r, John Wilson, Ray Hadden, and Jim

At this point it should be decided if members of the faculty should be allowed to e ndorse candidates. An unfair adv antage results if one candidate is recommended by some faculty members and the other candidate doesn't recognize this as proper procedure. Also, there has to be some sort of sign-up deadline for potential office holders. One of the candidates in this election signed up so late that his name didn't appear in the edition of the Telescope that came out the day of the election. The sign-up deadline should be at least a week before election day so that the Telescope can print a story about the candidates. This also allows office seekers time to get to know the students they are to represent. I hope, given this new chance to vote, voter participation will be increased. Tom Leonard

Combining over 13 years of journalistic experience, this year's Telescope staff is continuing the twice weekly format of the publication, being perhaps the only junior college in the state to publish twice weekly and with exclusively student partic ipation. Under the direction of the editor-inc hief, Steve Sc hneider, the paper plans extensive coverage in a broade r spectrum of campus life. With an emphasis on politics, more emphasis will be given to the various departmental areas where much of the news has gone unreported. Schneider attended Poway High School where he was sports ed itor of the Iliad, the newspaper, in his senior year. A member of the staff last year, he was sports editor in the fall and page three e ditor last spring. Steve Krueger, page one editor, graduated from Orange Glen High School in 1967 and immediately won the honors day journalism scholarship. In high school he was editor of the yearbook, news editor of the paper, and student body photographe r. In 1965, he was employed by the Nelson Daily News of Nelson, British Columbia, as a general assignme.nt reporter. He plans to return to B.C 1 this summer to work as a newspaperman. Jackie Easley, page two ed itor, won the 1968 high school honors day journalism scholarship. While · at Escondido High School, she was editor of the news bureau, a page editor on the Cougar, and also it's production manager. Jan Hart, page three co-editor, comes to Palomar from South Carolina. While in high school s he worked for her high school paper in Columbia as feature e ditor, position she now holds on the Telescope staff. Co- Editor of page three is Tom Anderson. Tom graduated from Poway High School where he was a page editor on the staff of the Iliad . Chris Read is sports editor this semester. Coming from Fullerton Jr. College, Chris boasts of being San Dieguito High School's editor-in-chief one year, sports editor one year, and feature e ditor one year. He was vice president of a journalism fraternity at Fullerton where he won a journalism scholarship. Jim Strain is the assistant editor on page four. A Navy veteran, Jim attended Cerritos College in Norwalk where he was a writer for the school paper. Regular standing columns will be written by Schneider and Krueger and will appear Tuesdays on the ed itorial page. Schneider's Likeitis, named for the short lived "underground" news paper appearing last spring·, will liberally interpret national politics with a satirical slant. Krueger's "From the Right Side" will also comment on national, state, school and local politics, but from a more moderate to conservative viewpoint. A fashion column is planned for future issues to be written by a new staff member.
