Morley sees Russia By Lois Cavalier
former Director of War Information, Military Intelligence. "I don't believe there's a person who hates war as much as I do here tonight, but I believe we should be in Vietnam for reasons beyond those usually offered," he continued. "Besides humanitarian considerations, the United States has her own interests and the protection of Indonessia, the Malaga Straits, and SinJlapore to consider." Morley said he was told in a personal interview with -Chou En Lai that the greatest goal of the People's Republic of China(Red China) is to control Indonesia and Singapore. Another little known fact, he pointed out, is that Japan depends on South Vietnam for its rice. "Without the supply of rice which comes from South Vietnam, the Japanese would have to buy rice from Peking, and a country is easily controlled by the country it must depend on for food."
"From what I have seen and learned believe there is il. great hope that thl war in Vietnam will end this year, correspondent John Morley told an audience of about 125 Friday night here. Morley, whose talk on "Eye Witness. .... Today's Headline World" was a presentation of the Palomar College Community Services lecture series, has just returned to the United States from an extensive trip around the world to "cover news areas which will be significant in the months to come." "With about 32,000 of our . men dead and another 200,000 wound ed, it is too late for the old discussion about whether or not we should be in Vietnam," he said. "We are there and we've been there a long time and we should try to obtain more true facts about why the United States is in that war and what our real goals are." . An award winning spe aker and reporter and official combat correspondent, Morley has writte n a syndicated column for the pas t 25 years and is
In discussing the argument that the South Vietnamese soldiers would rather have the Americans fight for them, Morley said, "As soon as the South
Vietnamese were provided with the weapons they needed in 1968, they began to earnestly fight and to win, and we will begin to see the real difference as more and more Americans return home to be replaced by men dedicated to saving their own country." He said that most people are not aware t hat, in close parallel with the Korean situation, the northern part of both countries has always contained the industrial areas and the best colleges while the southern portion of each country is a low income farming area with no interests in science or technology. "Russia is the culprit in North Vietnam, rather than Red China, since Red China provides only 30% of the small arms while Russia provides 90% of the heavy weapons. "The only thing the Communists understand is power and threats of power and the only way to impress them is to push harder than they do," he said. In discussing the European crises, Morley said that, " ... thecrisis in Czechoslovakia did not begin in July of 1968,

as Viet culprit but showed a trend some years ago when American- made goods began to appear in stores . "Russia absolutely could not allow Czechoslovakia to turn too far toward the West and possibly become the first country in 52 years to defect of its own volition, and an invasion of Poland is inevitable unless they learn from the Czech situation." Morley also discussed the Middle East crisis and said that the present great crisis area is from the Syrian border to Jericho. He said that, contrary to popular belief, the enmity in that area has not always been between Arab and Jew but rather between Greek and Turk, or Christian and Moslem. "This hatred still prevails and is now very evident on Cyprus." The major interest of the United States in the middle east, he said, is protection of the Suez Canal. Morley also discussed the "Pueblo" incident, but said that no one can or should have definite opinions until after all the facts are in from the inquiry
presently going on in Coronado. He said that he has checked and rechecked and has found that it is aginst international law for one country to board and seize a ship of another country, whether it is in international water or if it is on the beach of another country. Morley said that his talks are a professional translation of what is occuring and "the trends that bring these occurances about." He believes that the people must be aware of the latest facts for "only the action of the people can bring about the necessary adjustments." Two lectures in the community service series Will be presented next week. Controversial de-frocked Catholic priest William DuBay will speak on "Social Crisis and Religous Change" Monday at 10 a.m. and scientist and economist Dr. Albert Burke will give his answers to "Education for What?" at 8 p.m. Wednesday. Both lectures will be presented in the student union and are free to the public and students.

Two year college catalog near completion ; goal set for greatest variety in courses "The goal of the 1969-71 Palomar College catalog is to provide students with the greatest possible number of options in choosing classes and an attractive, easily understood instructional tool," according to Frank Martinie, catalog committee chairman. The catalog is progressing on schedule and is complete with the exception ofthe section on vocational and certificate programs, he said. It will be available about the middle of June.
Friday night in the student union. Topics i ncluded Vietnam and the Pueblo.
Speaker John Morley expressed his views on many of the world situations
nformation regarding student loans, scholarships now available Information regarding student loans and scholarship opportunities are now a vail able in the Student Personnel Office according to Mrs . Marjorie Wallace, dean of student personnel, women. Students interested in applying for the federally insured student loan program should contact Mrs . Wallace immediatly. The amount of the loan has been raised from $1000 to $1500 as of last December. Any student is eligible to apply for a loan, regardless of family income, provided he or she is enrolled and in good standing or has been accepted for enrollment at an eligible school, is carrying at least one-half of the normal fulltime workload as determined by the s chool, and is a citizen or national of t he United States or is in t he United States for othe r than a temporary purose. Three s chol arships are also available. Thev a re s ponsored bv the Electronic Computer P rogram mmg Ins titute, the San Diego Dis t r ict of the California

Home Economics Association and Rotary International. The computer programming school is offering three full scholarships and 22 partial scholarships to 1969 graduates of San Diego County high schools and junior colleges who qualify for ECPI's course in the current principles of data processing. The California Home Economics Association wishes to award their annual scholarship to students enrolled in a four year program in any accredited college or university who is majoring in the area of home economics. Consideration will also be given to students who are now enrolled in a college which does not offer home economics, such as Palomar, provided they pla n to t ransfer ~o a home economics degree program m another college. This is open to any girl in San Diego or Imperial Counties . Rotary International has available a number of s cholar ships for one academic year of study abroad.
This is the first two year catalog in the history of Palomar College. A supplement will be provided for the 1970-71 school year, listing anychanges in courses and instructors. An unusual and original cover design has been proposed by students P hillip Moore and George Anderson. T he square cover has a simple glossy black and white photograph of a light switch turned on. Inside the front cover is another self explanatory photo of a brightly glowing light bulb. The catalog was given final approval by the curriculum committee last Wednesday night, and approval of Dr. Frederick Huber, college president and district superintendent, and the board of governors will probably consider it at their meeting tonight. "The entire front section of the c atalog has been reorganized, and attractive photographs throughout show a wide range of student activities and classes, according to Martin1e. Particular emphasis has been placed on stud ent activities and that s ection has been expanded. New accreditation regul ations wi ll be e xplaine d, including new withdrawa l ruli ngs and the credit-no-credi t program. "Every course now has its own number ," Martinie explained. "For instance, a history c ourse would now be number s even for the first s e mester and history
eight for the second, rather than history seven-a and seven-b." Cross listed courses w111 be listed identically. After the number, the course title will be listed with a concise description, followed by the number of hours per week for lectures, laboratories etc. Courses structured for transfer to a four year school will be designated by special numbering (1-99). Courses intended for two year terminal programs will also be specifically numbered (100199). The phrase "permission of instructor" will be deleted except when this is the
sole prerequisite. Other prerequisites will be listed A section on special facilities will be included. "One of the finest showplaces on campus is our planetarium, which has hardly been mentioned in previous catalogs, " Martinie said. The section on special programs such as nursing and community service will be expanded. The catalog committee is a subcom:nittee of the curriculum committee. Members include Martinie, Dean Charles Coutts, Dean Howard Brubeck, Dean Theodore Kilman, Mrs. Cynthia Poole, Richard Noble, Dean Virgil Bergman, and Jack Quintero. Student representative is Ken Bowers. Secretary is Mrs, Marjorie Williams.
JC Iiterature ban may cease Junior colleges will cease to come under a law prohibiting the distribution of partisan, sectarian, or denominational literature on campus, it was learned last week. A bill introduced by assembly man John Vasconcellos of the 24th district would remove junior colleges from jurisdiction of a little enforced ruleJ originally aimed at high schools. A recent survey by the assemblyman revealed that, despite the law, literature of such organizations as the Young Democrats, Young Republicans, John Birch Society, Peace and Freedom party, Youth for Christ, Wesleyan and Newman clubs has been widely distributed on campuses. "Students today are more concerned and knowledgeable than ever before. We provide them with education and an awareness of our society and it's proble ms , we prompt their active participation, we urge them to become involved ~- and yet we continue to deny them equal rights and the peaceful means to d o so. F rus tr ation too often turns to viol ence and the streets." No action has of yet been taken on the bill.
"Witholding the distribution of such materials to our college students is ridiculous," said the assemblyman.
'The Experiment' showing tonight "The Experiment", to be aired tonight on the CBS Playhouse, shows a science PhD arriving at a medium sized company that has promised him a fully equipped lab and the freedom to do his work as he wants. Soon, management is concentrating its attention on hie appearance and his living arrangement with his girl. Wnat happens when the restless graduate, intent on doing his own thing, gets lured into the business scene? A television play will dig into this problem with unusual candor. M.K. Douglas , 24 year old son of Kirk Douglas, makes his debut as the young scientist. Barry Sullivan plays the head of the company .

Colton sees marriage as a novel "Modern marriage is like a romantic novel in which the hero dies in the first chapter," Mrs . Helen Colton, the first woman to speak on campus in 21 years, told a predominatly female audience Wednesday. Mrs. Colton, executive director of Family Forum of Los Angeles, spoke on the theme, "What's on Woman's Future Agenda?," She cited her audience in 15 years time. "Most of you will be in your early 30's. Some of you will be happily married, some happily divorced. Some will be maintaining affairs outside of marriage . Some wil1 be alcoholics. Those who are yet unmarried will be pursued in 'It s ingle person's lottery in a single person's prowl,'with all e ne rgies dir ec ted toward marriage and happiness. At least one of you will have attempted suicide, and perhaps succee ded. " Mrs . Colton believes that American women a re being victimized by myths within our society. "I think s ociety has
been selling you a bill of goods," she said. In her discussion of courtship myths, Mrs. Colton stated that we expect to be able to change a person after marriage and that too many American women think there is only one man in the world for her. "We change only if we ourselves want to," she said. She believes that the "onto and only" myth is a romantic cocept we got as fairy tales as children. "There are 3,000,000people you can work out a relation with," she said. "In our country, we have chances for two marriages -- one is a pratice marriage and the second is a marriage for personal and sexual fulfillm ent." Marriage myths that Mrs. Colton believe s are prevailant in our s ociety include sex myths and the myth of togetherness . Mrs. Colton teaches an extension pro· gr am course at UCLA on the " P s ychology and Sociology of Sex." She feels that we f ace the • tyranny of simultane ous orgasm" , which mos t couples do not
· experience regularly, and that we are shadowed in the belief that men go through life potent all the time. She said, "We think we're as good as wee function in the bedroom." Mrs. Colton stated that the idea of a family doing everything together is a purely commerCial one and can be more harmful than helpful. She cited as an example a husband who said too much togetherness is like "Having my shoes nailed to the floor." "To sum up what's on all our agendas, I see marriage as a part time concept and parenthood as a temporary concept," she said. She went on to explain the "Baby Break Concept" as a period for wome n to plan for late r years, and s aid we should learn how to plan our futur es, and not let our futures run us. Mrs . Colton gave her definition oflove as a "r espect for eachother ' sequality, " and closed her speech with "There will never be a generation of great men until t here has been a generation of free women."

FROM THE RIGHT SIDE
McGill decision doubted by Steven A. Academic freedom is highly prized by all memqers of the teaching fraternity. Traditionally, it has meant that teachers are free to teach however they wish within the confines of their classroome~. Today, however, many try to extend academic freedom to the picket line and to the incitement of riots by the students they are hired to teach. The case of controversial UCSD philosophy professor Herbert Marcuse is an example of this. Last week, University Chancellor william McGill was faced with the thorny problem of firing or rehiring the aging Marxist rabble-rouser. Marcuse, at 70, has passed the maximum age limit for instructors in the University system. McGill, rather than taking a firm stand to either fire or retain the professor, chose to pass the issue to the Regents. By declining to take a stand on this important issue, McGill has shown that he does not have the leadership capabilities required in this age of student \lnrest and campus r ebellion. As s emblyman John Stull of Leucadia appa r e ntly feels the same as this columnist doe s , because Stull appe ared be fore the Re gents himself Friday to demand the ouster of both Marcuse and McGill . The Regents upheld McGill's sugge stion that Marcuse be retained. But the issue still remains: Is McGill a strong enough leader for a University in these troubled times ? Had McGill himself made the decision to retain or to fire the Marxist professor, he at least would have demonstrated the strength he should have to hold his office. By choosing rather to pass the buck, so to speak, he has st\own campus rabble rousers that he is a weak Chancellor. He has perhaps set
Krueger the stage for trouble on the campus by his failure to take decisive action one way or the other. The matter of whether or not Marcuse should have beAn retained, is of course, academic. He has been retained and there is no point continuing the discussion over his merits. Personally, I agree with the statement of Governor Ronald Reagan following the Regents meeting last friday. The governor said that Marcus e should be retained, but instructors of the opposite view should also be hired to give the students a balanced picture of things. Acade mic freedom is great, but it must be freedom for all teachers, not just the liberals who march and picket. For students to ge t a true picture of the real world, they need the chance to hear both sides of the philosophical argument. Whether or not being a liberal of thought is bad is not the question. For a student who must live in this world to get a full and rounded educat ion, he mus t be pre sented with both side s of the coin, not jus t the liber al side as is now the practice, In summation, colleges and universities need strong and decisive leadership. Whether or not one agrees with Dr. S.I. Hayakawa of San Francisco State is not in question. No one can sanely deny that he at least takes action that he believes to be right. McGill owes it to the taxpayers, the students, and the members of the academic community to present a strong position of leadership. If he does not do so, he should be removed from the office of Chancellor and a man who will do the job installed .
MOUTHPEACE
Ali, Muslims in hot water by Jim "We got to have separate schools for Negroes, separate rest rooms, separate restaurants." Who said that ? Senator Eastland ? Strom Thurmond ? George Wallace ? The answer, in the immortal words of the Scholastic Aptitude Test is, none of the above. It was the former Heavyweight Champion of the World, Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali, for those of you who may not know, is a Muslim. He is a follower of an aging black messiah named Elijah Muhammad, the former Elijah Poole, who directs the Black Muslim religion from his Chicago Headquarters. The Muslims were the first black organization , of any substantial size to call for a separation of the races. The new wrinkle in their argument was that the black man was in danger of contamination from proximity to whites. While Martin Luther King appealed to reason and asked for the support of the "white people of good will~ in the non-violent fight for equality, the Muslims tapped the latent anger of the ghetto with phrases like "white devil.~ For a while the Muslims had the white establlshement running scared. Nobody was willing to admit that the organization might be a legitimate religion. Cops across the nation were busting gatherings of Muslims and beating down the doors of Muslim temples in search of often imagined hidden arsenals. The membership of the group doubled within a few months. But then a funny thing happened. A lot of black people discovered that they didn't need a religion to es!Jouse ideas like black pride, black capitalism or black rage. New militant organizations of black people began to spring up from the rubble of ghettoes which had been rip-
TELESCOPE news editor Jim Strain took this candid picture of Muhammed
Strain ped by riots. These new groups borrowed many of their activist ideas from the Black Muslims. Today the Black Muslim movement finds itslef in the position of having been by-passed by the vast majority of the black community. Muhammad Ali faces a prison sentence for his refusal allow himself to be drafted. Elijah Muhammad still occasionally issues statements from Chicago in which he purports to speak from Black America. But mainly it seems that the group just wants to be left alone. "We all catchin' hell. We all brothers and sisters and we ain' t got no quarrel with anybody,~ Ali said r ecently. " We the only ones speaking the truth. It should be the honorable Elijah Muhammad up here talking to ¡ you instead of me. I'm just a follower of his holy word.~
The champ is currently free on bond while his case is pending before the u.s. Supreme Court. He claims he should be exempt from military service on the grounds that he is a Muslim minister. If money is any measure of sincerity then Muhammad Ali is a fanatic. He has passed up literally millions of dollars in fight revenues, personal appearances and commercial endorsements because of his religious beliefs and legal troubles. Through it all, the former Cassius Clay exudes an almost childlike faith that the high court will exonerate him. "I ain't takin' no airplanes to Florida I'm just waitin' for my justice. The supreme court ain't goin' to let me go to jail.~
Several times while listening to the champ I found myself thinking wistfully that it was a shame that the energies of such a John the Baptist should be expended on such a dubious messiah.

YAF, SDS provide political activism on campus by Steven A. Krueger and Jim Strain Founded eight and a half years ago in Sharon 1 Conn,J the Young Ame ricans for Freedom now has an organized group on this campus. The group is guided by the credo drawn up at. the first meeting in Sharon. Logically, they call it the Sharon Statement. Ron Zent, the spark plug of the movement here, has been distributing blue buttons to interested students. The blue button stands for Peace, he tells them. The kind of Peace he means, however, is Peace On Campus. YAF stands for academic freedom for all members of the academic community, not just for the SDS or BSU. Besides the hard line stance against campus violence, the group lists as its major goals a foreign policy that represents the best interests of the United States. The group is out and out conservative by nature. Members of the group worked for the election of Barry Goldwater in 1964. Members ofthe group also worked against the Test Ban Treaty a few years ago. Students should know that they are not just jolning a group that is opposed to violence on college campuses but a group that is in favor of a volunteer military for this country and they have so testified in hearings before Congress. Students should also know that they are joining a growing group of young people in a conservative movement against the radicals that disrupt colleges across the country. l{onald Reagan, John Wayne, William F. Buckley Jr., and Strom Thurmond are members of the advisory board of the group, le st anyone mistake the conservative slant of the organization. But it cannot be denied that the group has ve ry positive goals and ideas. They seek to accept the leadership of their eld e rs and from the taxpayers who pay for our education. It cannot be denied that a group such

as this has been long needed to counteract the violent and radical approach of many youth of today . Membership dues for the group are $3 with the magazine, "The New Guard". The magazine contains about a dozen articles per month and is published monthly except June and August. Articles run the gamut from Communist influence in the schools to labor unions. Dues without the magazine are $1 per year. Meetings are to be held in F-23 Fridays at 11 a.m. SDS and YAF are not now recognized by the ICC (Inter-Club Council). Until their constitutions are approved and they obtain faculty advisors, neither organization can be sanctioned by the Associated Students of Palomar College. "SDS is the only organization on this campus that's free. We have no president, no faculty advisor, no leaders of anv kind.~ We talked last week to Neil Hoffman, founder and prime mover behind Palomar's new chapter of Students for a Democratic Society. Neil is an interesting, intelligent and angry young man with a lot to say ( much of it unprintable) about the state of our society, our government and our school. I asked Neil how closely the Palomar group would be aligned with the controve rsial Chicagobased parent organization. "We're not terribly worried by what SDS does in Chicago. We're sympathetic and we'll help out the national organization, say with money or moral support, but the beauty of SDS is that we're not tied to anything or anybody. A lot of people are uptight about SDS . They say it's communist, but the communists look at the political scale or continuum and they can' t e ve n find SDS, because there are so many different people doing so many different things that you can't
put us on any scale.~ Neil stressed that the new capter would¡ be an active one rather than just another organized bull session. "I'm really tired of all the theory that goes along with all political groups. That'sreallythe major difference between the old left and the new left; ma)be that's why they're the old left. They sit arnund in little groups and talk about politics while the essence of the new left is that they are trying to dosomething_" Coincident with the coming of SDS to Palomar is the establishment of the conservative-orientated Young. Americans for Freedom. The bearded Mr. Hoffman included that group too in the resurgence of activism here. "I'm glad to see them getting started. We certainly would not attack them in any way. We have too many other things to do and if we wasted our energies attacking them we would lose that much effort which might be better expended on something else . ~ Mr. Hoffman said that the new group had no particular master plan for Palomar, but that several individuals in the organization had expressed interest in different areas. "If even one person wants to start a real heavy campaign in one area we'll encourage him to do everything in his power to see it through." One possibility talked about was exposing the structure of the ASB budget in detail to the students.
"The student body here is dead. They are almost completely stagnant in the midst of a revolution. We have to make them see that they are part of it too." It will be interesting to see if Mr. Hoffman and the SDS can pull it off. The society meets each Monday at 11 a.m. in P-11.
ILETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor; In response to your editorial "ASB Eyesores: Walker Leadership Philosophy Proved by Ashcraft, Gladys," in the February 18 edition of THE TELESCOPE, we could say that the article was full of untruths, slander, exaggerations, and personal grievances, but we won't. We could also say that we do not believe in attending meetings as a rubber stamp vote with a buttoned lip, but we won't. We might also add that the ASB president Lloyd Walker, has said, "Nick Ashcraft and Ed Gladys have always worked in the best interests of the student body," but we won't. We hope the next time Mr. Krueger attempts to write an article or an editorial for THE TELESCOPE that he will print the truth, but he won't! Representative Nick Ashcraft

Editor; Young intellectuals without conviction are little more than irresponsbile disciples of objectivity, and their disciples
in turn become a clan of spectators, not actors. For without real purpose there can be no real action. Frustrated youth are now choosing violence. But, a vibrant, united action, such as a revolution, can be successful without being tinged with any traces of violence. Among other things, the deft application of the findings of social accounts paired with heretofore untapped utilization of advanced educative processes and technical lore awaits the favorable decision of the avant garde of social and economic liberalization. To stick, the social changes needed to advance our society will require the accumulated wisdom and in-depth experience of seasoned adulthood added to the verve, creative idealism and zest of youth. We Vivarian Activists know that some of our present social structures and value systems can be renovated in a manner that is in keeping with the creative cogitation now appearing on the intellectual horizon. And we are convinced that the young thinkers of today need to become a united voice that they be heard and obtain an active and meaningful part in shaping their environment while reaching toward a destiny waiting to be captured and claimed.
