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."

"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 is the producer and star of television's stimulating programs, "Probe" and "The Cutting Edge," and is also prominent as an author.

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.

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.

Scientist Burke speaks here tomorrow night

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.
