SDS to admit 1800 freshmen for fall semester
Mar. 4, 1969
William DuBay spoke here yes te rday to an audience which filled the student
union. DuBay expressed his ideas on the function of the church.
Religion must take side
of revolution says DuBay By Lois Cavalier ''The main function of churches today is to 'buy' the present religious r evolution, reorganize around it, work with it, and support it," William Du Bay told an audience which filled the Student Union yesterday. This revolution has been going on since long before our country was founded and is based on the supremacy of the individual to any culture, according to DuBay. "It is a longstanding myth that society is greate r than the individual," he said. Du Bay's talk on "Social Crisis and Religious Change" wa_s a presentation of the Palomar College Community Services lecture series. The former priest was defrocked by the Roman Catholic church in 1966 following publication of his first book, "The
Scholarships now available Application for scholarships for undergraduate study abroad are currently being accepted by the San Marcos Rotary Club. The overseas scholarships, offered by the Rotary International, are open to unmarried students who are between the ages of 18 and 24 inclusive as of July 1, 1970 according to Palmer N. Kremer. Kremer is a History instructor here and a member of the San Marcos Rotary Club. Kremer pointed out that the local Rotary Club is particularly anxious to have Palomar students apply. Applicants must have completed two years of work by next fall but may not hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent. The scholarships are very comprehensive, states Kremer, because they pay practically all expenses. He urged that those interested contact Mrs. Margorie Wallace, Chairman of the Financial Aid Committee in the Counseling department at once. Deadline for the completed aplications is March 14.
Human Church," and a dispute with Cardinal Mcintyre, Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles, which led Du Bay to write directly to the Pope. "At the time of my marr1age last August I was officially excommunicated . I am no longer a priest and I hardly think of myself as a Catholic anymore," he said. He has worked toward forming a c lergymen's union and was with Synanon for a year while '•trying to unclog my thoughts on religion.'' Today' s religious institutions are of value only insofar as they help the individual and serve as a therapeutic tool which each of us is free to use, he said. "Up until now, the main function of American churches has been to support the "American civil religion," the social community and the "almost divine" documents drawn up by our founding fathers, "he said. "If I was the head of a church today, I would put my money on the training of good psycho-therapists and counsellors. The clergy today in all churches are the least qualified to give psychological counselling to individuals, groups or married couples." Religious institutions will have to put themselves on the side of the revolution and get along without expensive structures and social activities or be relegated to the role of mere "religious mu,:;eums", Du Bay said. "Young people today are growing up accepting the whole package. They are challenging the tie-up between religion and culture and the basic concept of culture itself." ''They are challenging the fact that they are growing up in cities that are ugly and unsafe, that ten percent of the population is disenfranchised, that t here is a long and senseless war going on in Southeast Asia, and that there is a great waste of human and natural resources," he said. Asked about papal authority in the question and a nswer period which followed his talk, Du Bay said that "the Catholic Church has already accepted birth control but the Pope hasn't found out about it yet."

Tennis team needs players Tennis, anyone? The tennis team is in desperate need of players, according to the ir assistant coach Joe Soroka. Soroka said that the team was forced to forfeit a match last Thursday because they didn't have enough qualified players for varsity competition. The match was against Grossmont. Anyone who has had any tennis experience should try out for the team, Soroka said. The team is rather desperate and requires a minimum number of men for a meet. Currently the re are several girls on the team. Interested sutdents can try out any Monday, Wednesday, or Friday at 11 a.m. on the courts here. Regular practice sessions take place in the afternoons during the week .
Speaker critical of American way of thinking
Dr. Albert Burke
Rider awarded appraiser title Real P.state economics and finance instructor Park Rider has been awarded a Senior Residential Appraiser designation by the society of Real Estate Appraisers Board of Governors based in Chicago, it was announced recently. Attainment of the designation requires extensive practical appraisal experience, knowledge of current real estate market, and adherence to the Society's code of ethics. Rider is currently vice president and manager of the Home Federal Savings and Loan office in Encinitas, a company he has been with since 1959 . He received his B. S. degree from the University of Iowa and is a graduate of the American Savings and Loan Institute Executive Development School at the University of Wisconsin.
Deans Charles Coutts and Robert Burton listen intently. The board approved a new budget preparation procedure .
"The average American citizen today doesn't think for himself," says Dr. Albert Burke, noted television commentator on the world's problems. "Instead of analyzing his own problems, he tends to rely too heavily on experts for the answers." Dr. Burke, scientist, economist, educator, geologist, linguist, and expert on world affairs, will speak at Palomar Wednesday night at 8 p.m . on the theme, "Education For What?". Dr. Burke is the producer and star of television's stimulating programs, "Probe" and "The Cutting Edge," and is also prominent as an author. Inspired by the words of Edmund Burke: "All that is necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is that e nough good men do nothing," Dr. Burke authored the book, "Enough Good Men-A Way of Thinking." A native New Yorker, Dr. Burke recieved his B.A. and M.A. from the Unive rsity of California and his Ph.D. in International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania. He was the Director of Graduate Studies in Conservation and Resource Use at Yale from 1951 to 1957. He was appointed Educational Television Consultant for the National Broadcasting Company, where he produced the award winning series, "Survival". Dr. Burke and his wife have spent considerable time working and living with the American Indians in Arizona, New Mexico and California.
'Operation up date' coming soon The American Association of University Women branches in the North County will join with Palomar College to present the fourth annual "Operation Update" program at the college in series scheduled today, March 12, 19, and 26. Mrs. Jane Nelson is Escondido president and Mrs. Shirley Blanto is the AAUW president in Fallbrook. "Operation Update IV" will have as its theme, "The Student and the College Counselor. " The college counseling staff , with Robert Larson chairman, will present
the series , which will include talks on various phases of student counseling, followed by discussions. The presentation tomorrdw, will be directed by o. Byron Gibbs of the counseling staff; March 12 by Larson and his staff; March 19 by a student panel, and March 26 by Mrs. Cynthia Poole of the staff. Each program is scheduled for 9:30 to 11 a.m. in Room C-5 in the ArtMusic building, and the public is invited to come.
Budget preparation methods approved by college board Approval of a new budget preparation procedure was voted Tuesday by the Palomar College board of governors who had given study to the administrationrecommended measures for several weeks. A revised speaker policy which establishes procedures for the booking of campus speakers by clubs and organizations was reviewed by the board and held for approval at the next meeting. The introduction to the required steps for scheduling speakers points out that the policy "has been developed as a guide for those responsible for the selection and scheduling of speakers to appear at Palomar College. It is applicable to student organizations in their recruitment of guest speakers and is not intended to apply to instructors inviting speakers into their classes. T he plan also provided for opportunity to book other speakers of ''balancing viewpoints" in cases of "specific persuasions" or controversial topics. The new budgetary committee plan, developed by the administration and faculty, provides more faculty consultation and participation in the preliminary stages of assembling data and planning an annual operating budget, while r etaining final decisions and r esponsibility for the administration and board of governors.

San Diego State hopes to admit more than 1,800 freshmen for its Fall, 1969, semester, Mrs. E. June Warren, dean of admissions and records said today. This means a loosening of enrollment ~urbs which. resulted in denial of admission to freshmen and to all but a limited number of juniors from local community colleges during the current spring semester. In her announcement Mrs. Warren made these points: 1Fall enrollment quotas, authorized by State budget makers, will permit r egistration of approximately ~3,000 students at San Diego State. ~ - An educated guess i ndicates that between 15,000 and 17,000 present students will continue their studies in the Fall, leaving s pace for between 6,000 and 8,000 new comers. ::!- Newcomer spaces will be divided among the five college class levels, using these percentage bases : Freshmen ill% Sophomores 7% Juniors 33% Seniors 4% Graduates 25% These percentages have the approval of the San Diego State faculty Senate. They are based on a normal year's enrollment mix. Assuming that 17,000 present students return in the Fall, the percentages would permit 1,860 Freshmen, 4~0 new Sophomores, 1,9 80 juniors, ~40 new seniors, and 1,500 new graduate students to be admitted. Should a lesser number of students come back, these figures would be increased . Mrs. Warren saio she hoped an adnnce registration, scheduled for the six week period beginning April ~1 would produce firm figures on the Fall plans of present students. Freshmen and most junior college transfers had been denied admission to the current Spring semester in an effort to relieve campus wide over crowding. Congestion had started in the Fall semester when ~3,000 students, nearly ~.ooo beyond the budgeted enrollment, registered for classes. Mrs. Warren said the Fall enrollment quotas are necessary because advance estimates indicated as many as 24,350 persons hoped to enroll for the Fall semester. This is some 1,350 beyond the budgeted figure. By limiting new enrollments and by disqualifying present students who failed to meet grade requirement, the college was able to reduce enrollment to its budgeted headcount of ~1,000 for the current semester. Quotas will be filled first-come, forstserved based on the order in which students apply for admission. Applications are now being received.

Mrs. Evanell Renick, chairman of the bllsiness department, made a detailed presentation to the board of the distributive education and work expe rie nce education program being conducted for students in various husiness courses, and the board approved the colle ge
program for work experience education. Frank Martinie, chairman of the catalog committee, reviewed !Jl::tns for the proposed new two-year catalog. In other action, the board accepted the bid and awarded contract to SperryRand for Univac computer equipment, at a rental cost of $1,120 a month. Fifty per cent of the cost will be offset federal funds. Charles Coutts, assistant dean of instruction for the science, technology and business departments, said the equipment would bring urgently needed modernization for course offerings in science, mathematics, business and related curriculum programs. About 200 students, he said, are currently e nrolled in cours es in which the new computer equipment will be employed for instructional procedures in data processing and similar fields of modern computer uses.
Student added to committee Larry McLeod, sophomore has been appointed and confirmed as the student r epresentative on the curriculum committee. McLeod will serve on the committee as a voti ng member. Subjects de lt with by the committee include the catalog and all matters concerning changes or additions to the curriculum. McLeod graduated from Orange Glen High School in 1967. There he was the ASB president in his senior year. Among his duties was to be liason between students and administration on all matters, including curriculum.

Editor delivers testimony at state assembly hearing By Steven A. Krueger Ed . . Note. --The following is the text of a speech that TELESCOPE editor Steve Krueger delivered last night as testimony for Assemblyman John Stull's Subcommittee on Educational Environment investigating student unrest. We have omitted the sections which refer to his Feb. 13 editorial and the board resolution because of space limitations . Palomar College, the school which represent, is located in San Marcos, California. It has an enrolled population of about 2500. Of these, about 2300 are white and 200 non-white MexicanAmericans, Indians, orientals, and Negroes. There has been no violence on our campus. Politically, we are located in the heart of one of the most conservative areas in the state. The students mostly live at home and are influenced by the conservative slant of their parents. Most students have come to Palomar College for an education, not to throw rocks. As the representative of my school, I have gone to varied groups of the student populace and asked opinions, explaining that I was coming here to represent all avenues of student thought. Henceforth, I will present my own views first, then the views of many students, then a concluding statement based on my views and the views of campus leaders from administration, faculty, and students.
Students accountable The violence on many campuses today has its: root causes in basic ills of society. Whether we like to admit it or not, there are some very basic problems your generation has not solved. To many students, this failure to act on these problems has resulted in a feeling of hopelessness and despair and discouragement in everything done by your generation. Therefore, the students must be held accountable for the physical actions of violence, but those of you who have supposedly led us these many years must accept the blame for the causes of that violence. However, I think it should be made as clear as possible that the vast majority of students are still intent on getting an education. They are concerned about the ills I have spoken of, but they know that the best way to change things is to get their education and to change things latep, when they are in your shoes. I recently wrote an editorial for my school paper, of which I am the editor, which dealt with this theory. I would like to read it to you. I would like to add that the Escondido Daily Times- Advocate printed this as the editorial opinion of their paper the same day that it was published in outpaper. The violence on campus strikes me as a serious, deadly fad. You all rememher a few years ago when the hula hoop was the fad. And then a year or two ago surfing was the big "in" thing. Today, campus vigilence and disdain for the status quo is this generation's fad. Since I am a representative of my student body and of our area, I would like to present the opinions of some of the faculty a nd students on our campus.
Suggestions made A political sc1ence mstructor made the suggestions that the size of classes should be limited to bring a closer student-teacher relationship and that the program of teaching assistants doing teachers work be abolished. The remark about size of c lasses is an old one. Students 10 years ago asked for this. However, school officials have not taken any action to lessen the huge size of classes. This is what I mean about the failure to take action by your generation. Governor Ronald Reagan made a remark along the lines of the instructors' second suggestion. The governor said that teachers should be hired to teach, not to do research. Many well known professors on the campuses of this state seldom see the classes they are scheduled to teach. They have T-A's take the
duty. It is a nice, cozy arrangement for the professor, but it isn't fair to the students who want to hear the professor, not a T-A who may know less about the subiect than does the student. From the administration of my college comes the following resolution, passed last December 10. It calls for the study of campus violence not by this Assembly sub-committee but by the Coordinating Council for Higher Education. Allow me to read this resolution.
Stull questioned I have a question for Assemblyman Stull from a Marine veteran at my college. He would like to know if the Assemblyman is in agreement with Dr. Max Rafferty's statement that the Poway school system is run by Communists. The statement was made according to this student, in a campaign speech by Dr. Rafferty September 7 of last year. Further, he suggests that you begin your investigation or witch hunt as he calls it, at the top, in the office of Dr. Rafferty. A number of citizens around the campus are of the opinion that the student movement or campus unrest as some call it, is being led by Communists intent on destroying America through her youth. Perhaps the citizens are looking a little too deeply. It goes without question that certain elements of the non-free world are enjoying the campus unrest and corruption of the American college student. But I think it is not true that the movement is being led in met by Communists. In conclusion, I would like to say that most students are only interested in getting an education, not in violent change. Perhaps Palomar Students are not typical of those at Berkeley of San Francisco State. But likewise, it cannot be said that those rioters at certain campuses are typical of a system or any other school. It is not fair to punish all students for the actions of a distinct minority of students who are in left-field with their ideas.
Assembly action Action taken, if any, by the Assembly on some 60 bills dealing with campus unrest should be based on some clear facts. First, the action should not be in haste or led by emotion. The decisions made in 1969 will affect students in 1979 and 1989. History will be the ultimate judge of the legislation that is passed concerning higher education. Second, the silent majonty ot students want to be left alone to get an education. They no more relate to the actions of a vocal minority than the middle-class American does to the actions of a murderer, thief, or embezzler. Third, remember that the students may be the ones throwing the bricks but the generation that preceeded ours is the one that gave them the reason to throw them . Fourth, even though the average student today is better off than any of his predessors, he is idealistic and still roots for the underdog; those Blacks in the ghetto, the Indians, the Chicano, those starving in Biafra, those homeless in Vietnam. May the world always have this kind of idealism. We students ask that you politicians pass up the opportunity to make political hay at our expense. Pass only the legislation that will truly serve students wanting an education, not destroy the system itself. The actions you take in the next few weeks will determine the future of what once was called the finest educational system in the world. May it always remain just that. Thank you for this chance to speak to this group. I will try to answer any questions anyone may have.
Times and business world changing Yes! The "business" look of a secretary has changed over the last two decades. Contrastingly enough turning back to the early '40's, it considered proper and, in many offices, required that a secretary wear the minimum of eyecatching flairs to business. A hat, glasses and below-the-knee length dress were deemed good secretarial garb, combined with impeccable manners and high aptitudes. These points distinguished her as a "career" girl. Today's gum-chewing miniskirted secretary has more of "the girl-of-the street" look. Although her secretarial
skills mayby rated tops, her outward appearance has diminished. Business etiquette has changed hands with modern colloquial speech, mini-skirted thighs bold~ exhibited and audacity replaced with what used to be termed humility and respect. What has brought about this new trend? Only the "mod" generation can answer this question, leaving yesteryear's folk puzzled. Never again, will the pert, clean-faced secretary-devoid of an over made-up face and blackened eyes-walk into an office. Times are changing! Today is another world!

MOUTHPEACE
Writer calls for reform By Jim Strain "Education is a privilege, not a right.'' The above quotation, which appeared in a dispatch from the Liberation News Service is ascribed to our favorite cowboy, Ronald Whatsizname. The quote was not very well documented and was taken out of context, but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that His Excellency the Governor COULD have made just such a statement without straying an inch from the dusty environs of his reactionary ideology. That little quotation which, thank God, will never make Bartlett's, typifies the attitude in Sacramento today, an attitude which runs counter to every principle on which higher education in California, and for that matter, in America, was built. From the time of our country's infancy the trend has been toward making more and more education available to more and more people. Indeed, in a democracy, education has become less a privilege or a right than a responsibility of anyone who aspires to the title of citizen (and you don't have to be a flag-shrouded Bircher to want that). In the past, in fact, education has more or less possessed the status of sacred cow in our society. Like motherhood and the flag it has always been one of the things of which everybody was in favor. But suddenly in the late 60's we find that not e veryone in our colleges and universities looks or acts like the classic sterotype of the "serious student". Some of the boys have long hair. Some of them blow pot (the surest path to perdition). Some of them smell of 'leither Jade East nor Chane! #5 and, heaven protect us, a lot of them are black. Many of them have had the audacity
I
to question the legitimacy of the institutions which could determine the direction of their lives. So we find our state legislators forming committees to draw up laws to protect, not the humanistic concept of education, but the man-made concept of the physical university as we have known it since the miildle ages. The Assemblymen and State Senators who have formed these committees have done so not from any desire to further the educational processes but in answer to the hysterical cries of those who see only the turmoil caused by a few rock throwers and not the makings of a revolution in our whole philosophy of the real purpose of a university. Think for a mmute. Can you conceive of the legislature, after hearing all sides, coming up with a resolution to the effect that the dissident students were right? The students have about as much chance in Sacramento as a carload I of birth control pills in Vatican City. The very natureofsuchlegislative committees makes them little better than witch hunts. The voters have demanded that the lawmakers crack down on campus protest and the honorable gentlemen have set out to do just that. Unfortunately, the percentage of students who are of voting age is small enough to be ignored.
The Beatles, Janis Joplin, Donovan, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix were among the top winners today in EYE Magazine's first annual nation-wide Rock 'n' Roll Poll. Some 68 00 teenagers in fifty states voted on ballots contained in the January issue of EYE-the monthly geared to the 16 and ~0 year olds of both sexes. Divided into thirty categories from Best Album to Most Exciting New Face-the poll revealed that kids dig progressive rock (like the Cream), but they put down teeny hopper bubble gum rock (like the 1910 Fruitgum Company). The Beatles walked off with three categories--Album of the Year, Best Group and Top English Group-- and "Hey Jude" by the Beatles won the Best Single and Best Lyrics Award. The Top American Group was the Doors. Tiny Tim took the 1968 Public Nuisance Award hands down, and his album was voted runner up to the Rolling Stones, "Their Satanic Majesties Request" as Bad-Trip Album of the Year. Janis Joplin took Best Female Vocalist and also captured "Sexiest Woman in Rock 'n' Roll." Jim Morrison was the Sexiest Man and runner-up to Donovan as Top Male Vocalist. The sleeper of the poll was Frank Zappa who came away as 1968's Private Delight ("I don't care what anyone says, I dig it") Cream was hailed as the Most-Lamented Break-up of the year and also took runner-up as Top English Group. The King and Queen of Soul were James Brown and Aretha Franklin. Two separate polls were conducted for the experts--one for rock critics, the other for musicians. Generally, the results conincided with the nationwide teen-age choices, although there were a few deviations.
Great figure "8"
Eventual reform of our system of higher education is inevitable. But when such a reform does come it can only be brought about by those directly involved, the students and the educators and not by the tainted hands of politicians whose only desire is to jump onto the lugubrious and fickle bandwagon of public opinion.
LEITERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor, Perhaps the most detestable quality possessed by the majority of columnists is that despite their obvious talents for critiscism they rarely have anything constructive to say. However what is particularly galling is a columnist that criticises som ething that he knows practically nought about save what he acquires from a secondary origin which frequently exhibits a dubious truth. Such is the case of Mr. Steven Krueger. If the content of his columns is to be a criterion then it would be safe to assume that Mr. Krueger has his head stuck quite firmly in the ground on most issues. Maybe this accounts for the distorted quality of his editorials. Specifically I am referring to his editorial on Chancellor McGill's decision to rehire Professor Marcuse. Early in his discourse he states that he feels the same as Assemblyman Stull who has demanded the removal of botn Marcuse and McGill. Then later he is in agreeance with Governor Reagan who has said that Marcuse should be retained but that instructors holding differing views should be hired to give a balanced view. Despite this totally .contradictory stand Krueger has unconsciously by the use of such qualitative words as "aging", "Marxist", and "rabble-rouser" expressed his attitude toward Professor Marcuse and his teachings. I would also suggest that despite consistent use of the word "freedom" that he has little knowledge of the true quality of freedom. Isn't the expression of a differing view such as those presented by Marcuse one of the basic qualities of freedom. Also if this society is as grand and free you would have us think then the last thing that we
should fear are the words of a "rabblerouser". If there are words to be feared most certainly the most fearful are those of the hard-core hypocriti equivocal genre such as Reagan and Stull who don't know what it is liketobepoorand hungry in a country like America or to be discriminated against in a supposedly free society. Consequently it is impossible for · people such as yourself to ever fully understand the motivational factors behind the present dissent. It is not men like Chancellor McGill who emphatically stated that he desired the rehiring of Professor Marcuse that pass the buck but people like yourself who turn from the real issues and seek out the scapegoat, who are indeed passing the buck.
