Board candidates speak out on issues The four candidates for the board of governors brought their campaigns to this campus Friday in a special classroom panel discussion with students .

Special education for minority students became an issue in the board of governors election Friday as candidates exchanged ideas and charges with members of a Chicano group on campus.

The exchange came in a press conference that followed a panel discussion featuring the four candidates for the board of governors.

The candidates appearing were Milo Shadle, Richard Kornhauser, Byron Peterson, and Tom Hawthorne.

The press conference, though, turned into a free - for - all questioning of the candidates. The hottest conflict came when Peterson said that special classes were not needed for the Mexican-American students at Palomar.

"English is the language spoken in the marketplace of business," he said. He refused to admit a need fo r special cons ideration of Chicano needs.

Similar feelings were expressed by Hawthorne to the question as he dismissed the classes as unneeded. The remarks of the two challengers stirred the ire of many students present and incensed the represe ntative of MAYA (Mexican-American Youth Association) .

Mr. Peterson then added. "They don't need special help. They receive the proper training in English and the culture of the United States of America at home.

They aren't any different than anyone e lse . Myself, I'm German, English, and Welsh. I don't see any special program for me."

This remark brought the MexicanAmerican spokesman to his feet. "But we need a chance!" he replied heatedly.

"And we'll give you the same chance we give anyone else," Peterson replied.

At this point both Hawthorne and Peters on retired from the room, excusing t hemselves for business appointments. eil Hoffman, organizer of Students or a Democratic Society on campus, topped Peterson and engaged in several eated questions concerning a statement e had made, saying that the first orde r of business after he is elected should e the banning of SDS from the campus.

Kim Clark, fo rmer ASB president exres sed his confide nce in the two incumbents and joined THE TELESCOPE in praise of the approach to problems. he remarks of incumbents Kornhauser and Shadle were greeted more warmly by the students present.

Both men endorsed a special program of Mexican studies but Mr. Shadle went farther, saying, "I realize that there are special problems with these students.

They need specialized help.

A suggestion was brought forth that, since students were profiting greatly by the meeting of the board candidates, the board should consider coming to the college _on a monthly basis to talk with students. Both Mr. Shadle and Mr. Kornhauser agreed and said they would welcome the chance to meet with students.

The four men came at the invitation of Sheridan Hegland as part of his regular Friday guest speaker series.

The candidates are Richard Kornhauser and Milo Shadle, incumbents, and Byron Peterson and J. T. Hawthorne, challengers bidding for the two seats up for election today.

The four were the invited guests of Sheridan Hegland, political science and economics instructor here. They were asked to attend a panel discussion for, primarily, the benefit of his Political Science 10 classes as part of a continuing program of outside speakers.

Mr. Hegland began the discussion by asking each man what he most liked and disliked about the college .

Action was taken yesterday morning by the ASB council to endorse incumbents Milo Shadle and Richard Kornhauser for re-election to their seats on the board of governors.

It was moved by TELESCOPE editor Steve Krueger and adopted by a 13 to 4 vote to make the endorsement.

This marks the first ti me that any candidate or candidates have been endorsed by the ASB council.

The four candidates took part in a two hour discussion with students last Friday at which time the decision was made to ask for the endorsement, according to an ASB source.

The Faculty Senate of Palomar College notes that the Palomar student newspaper, THE TELESCOPE, has endorsed the two encumbents in the forthcoming Palomar school board election.

Members of the Senate have been in a position to observe closely and to work with members of the existing board.

Membership on the Faculty Senate is diverse, including those of differing partisan allegiances and political philosophies.

Not all actions of the two encumbents seeking re-election have won approval within this Senate. Nevertheless, Mr. Milo Shadle and Mr. Richard Kornhauser are conscientious and hardworking individuals dedicated to offering at Palomar excellence in curriculum for Palomar students.

This Senate consequently commends the two incumbents to the electorate.

that he couldn't name one particular thing he was upset about, other than a lack of communication in the school.

"Sometimes it is difficult for a person to find out how many students are e nrolled in the college or in a specific class," he charged.

He pointed out that he had seen several classes with only 10 students in them during his brief visit to the college. He then pointed to the audience and said, "I see here 150 to 200 people. Just what constitutes a crowded classroom?"

(A TELESCOPE head count showed about 230 persons in attendence .)

Richard Kornhauser, incumbent ana avocado grower from Escondido, was next to reply. He explained that he had only been on the board since September when board member Tipton Wood retired. In that time, he said, "I have just had time to know that I enj oy the job. There is a great deal I like here and not too much I can say now that I don't like . " Both Kornhauser and Shadle have been a ppointed to fill vacancies on the board .

Shadle was appointed about two and a half yeaTs ago.

Kornhauser, in earlier remarks, had stated that he feels communication is the single most important thing in creating an excellent educational institution.

"I want to talk: talk to the students, talk to the faculty," he said.

Byron Peterson, challenging fo r a board seat, spoke next. He said that there were so many things he disliked

at Palomar that he didn't think he could mention them all in just two mi nutes.

He agreed with Hawthorne\3 statement concerning failure to communicate. He went on to attack Palomar as being "a haven for draft dodgers."

Under questioning later, he conceded that the knowledge of the number of draft dodgers at Palomar was based on an off-hand answer by TELESCOPE editor Steve Krueger during questioning at a woman's club meeting two weeks prior.

Board pr esident Milo Shadle was last on the panel to speak. He said he was amazed by the statements of the c ha llengers concerning communication at Palomar.

"Anyone who has a question should bring it to me," he said . "If not to me , then to any member of the board. We will either answer it or find the answer."

He went on to say that one of the things he would like to see imprrwed at Palomar is the program of special classes and programs for the Chicano students .

In the questioning that followed, both Hawthorne and Peterson drew most of the student questions. Both admitted having little first hand knowledge of matters handled by the board . They admitted having never attended a board meeting.

Among the items they admitted little knowledge of we re the credit-noncredit classes and the speaker policy.

Stevens said his department has under consideration the offering of in-service training for area high school biology 't eachers on a one evening weekly basis, in the next college year, in which the fields being studied by the two instructors would be reviewed for the benefit of the high school faculty members.

FROM THE RIGHT 51

"HOW WONDERFUL FOR THOSE WHO SURVIVE!"

Eldridge Radic tells story of student unrest

Love thy neighbor

By Steven A. Krueger "No man is an island" is a very old but, nevertheless, true cliche. In these days of affluence amongst poverty, it holds a special significance to our lives as college students.

Once a man has made his fortune and : _~~ .l:J..i s m.ark upon this world, he then should turn to his fellow man and offer his aid and assistance to those less fortunate.

This is not to say that we should have a flat, classless economic society without an upper, middle and lower strata.

But there is no justification for a complete lack of interest by one man to the plight of another.

History is full of examples of how a strong people have helped one another to survive. Helping another who is less fortunate or less lucky is one of man's most supreme achievements.

Caring for one another can come in m a ny forms. It can be a friendly handshake and a word of encouragement or an hour or two spent with a pre-school Mexican-American youth, trying to instill the vital spark that breeds the will for betterment.

In these next weeks before summer begins for us, we should avail ourse ves of the opportunities we are presented to be of service to our fellow man.

The last part of this month, a group of Palomar co-eds are going to the New Haven School for Girls in Vista. The girls, from Gamma Sigma Chi, will be spending about a half day with the girls at New Haven. These girls are the products of our times: broken homes, juvenile delinquents, disillusioned with life.

Their time will be given to unselfish service to another. They will receive no money for their time, and they might not even be thanked. But the fact remains

that they have showed they care enough to go the extra mile to offer a helping hand.

ACCESS, a community aid program, needs students to help pre-school children in Escondido. The need is acute.

We are in an age of the college man and woman, yet the Chicano is still living in a dream world of the last century. Then, a man could get along with a third grade education. But today he must at least have the will to finish high school. Sadly, most young people of that cultural group don't finish high school, shutting off their options where college is concerned.

It is tragic that a whole generation of people may be lost if somebody doesn't care enough to help.

The time required for this help is less than most boys spend on their cars a week or a girl spends on the phone.

ACCESS asks only two hours a week.

They only ask that the people who valunteer be sincere in their desire to help and willing to stick to the task.

There are many tasks the student can volunteer for without jeopardizing studies or social life. They are there . We must look only a short distance for the opportunity to help another.

The pay won't line your pockets with spendable cash, but the time spent will e nrich your self-respect and feeling of accomplishment. But moreover, it will work miracles for somebody else.

We as a people have accomplished the highest level of economic achievement ever known to man. It is time we look down and help someone who needs it.

It is strange indeed that our society looks down on the "do-gooder". If anyone ever calls you a "do-gooder", you should be flattered.

You have just been paid a compliment.

SD Union praises SDS faculty Ed. Note: This editorial recently appeared in the San Diego Union.

The awakening of college faculty members to the mortal danger confronting their institutions is evident in the action of representatives of 1700 San Diego State College employes .

These faculty and staff members have joined in a genuinely intellectual and forthright disavowal of the coercive tactics that have brought public high education in California to the brink of chaos . Their action is a clear-headed indictment of "willful faculty minorities which seek to force acceptance of their private purposes upon a faculty majority." It is the urgent sort of response for which the public has been looking.

Expressing "outrage" at the beatings, intimidation and vandalism which have become routine at some state colleges and universities, their position paper is the first major step toward putting the academic house in order.

Their insistence that "the observance of the law is not negotiable" is a breath of fresh air to anxious Californians. It punctures the pretensions of the militants to represent a majority viewpoint. It exposes the radicals as an extremist minority, isolates from the mainstream of academic thinking.

In a similar manner, students at San Francisco State College, including star athletes, exposed the extremists who are boycotting that institution by rescuing and restoring to its proper place the flag of the United States of Ameri-

Dear Editor, The .rains have ceased, the sun is shining, the grass is beautiful and comfortable. After waiting so long for spring to arrive, its a tragedy that one cannot fully enjoy the campus due to paper cups, lunch bags, and wrappers of every description which have been carelessly discarded as class time nears.

The rains have ceased, the sun is shining, the grass is beautiful and comfortable .... once again.

ca, disgracefully torn down by the exhibitionists.

Voters go to polls in trustees race A TELESCOPE editorial Today is election day. The race for the Palomar board of governors has come to a close.

Usually a calm. little noticed race, the board election has raised a tough, partisan issue between liberals and conservatives.

Unfortunately, for the college, this fight can do no good for the school. It can only serve to breed distrust and animosity toward the college in the community at large.

These charges infer that Palomar is being run by the unwashed dissident minorities of students creating trouble at San Francisco State and Columbia. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.

The issues being raised in this election stink. The two challengers know that they can't win by debating the issues before the voters, so they turn to mud-slinging and fear-spreading.

THE TELESCOPE urges the re-e lection of the incumbents, Milo Shadle and Richard Kornhauser.

They have done a fine job running the college and, if given the regular four year term to accomplish more, could make Palomar the finest two year college in the country.

I remember the valley, its beauty.

Etched by a tear of God, to be virgin.

Its grasses grew thick, to cushion.

Its stream ran full, providing life.

The wind whispered silence.

The sky spread clear, blanketing my life.

The valley still stands, though dead.

Tears still remain, without God. the flies, eat flesh, and moisten, their wings, in the beautiful stream, of blood.

From " DE TOCQUEVILLE'S AMERICA REVISITED:"

A new concept in college

By Chris Read It is obvious that the current educational system leaves something to be desired.

Aside from campus unrest, there are other problems plaguing the nations colleges and universities. Campuses are often overcrowded and students are often faced with inadequate facilities . Most of the blame for these inadequacies is placed on the taxpayer.

The taxpayer believes he has a legitimate beef.

He is not , willingly, going to support education when what is going on on the campuses is against his philosophy. His philosophy can be questioned, but his logic in not supporting the colleges , speaking out against education today, etc. is reasonable.

I believe that two concepts have left their mark on the citizenry and are, for the most part, responsible for a lot of the trouble.

The first one is perhaps the easiest to believe.

This concept states that it is ideal for a young person to attend college because secondary education is needed for a rewarding life . A person who doesn't take advantage of college cannot compete financially with one who does.

In essence, to get anything out of this world today, you have to get a college education. Hogwash. Colleges and universities today are filled with people who shouldn't be in them. People who still have difficulty reading the English language. People, who, when one mentions Dylan, think of "Down along the cove .... " instead of "Do not go gentle unto that good night .. . . "

The second myth is the opinion that the junior college is a place that kids who can't make the grade in four year schools go to strengthen their GPA. Sure a lot of students attend junior college for this reason.

Other: are at them because they are gun s hy, others just want to be out of the house . There are others, however, probably a small majority who could make it in four year schools but can't afford the expense.

Keeping all the forementioned in mind, let's look at the student who takes excellent pictures or makes excellent grades in electronics but still can't write a decent research paper or pass a foreign language course. After two years of sweating at a junior college, skipping on and off scholastic probation, he finds that the four year school year ¡doesn't want him. Too bad. He does have approximately 50 to 60 units in various and sundry classes and may even have received a certificate in the

vocational program.

Great, but the question is, is he ready for the rat race?

In most cases I'd doubt it. A solution yes.

A network of state and/or federally supported 'vocational colleges' where one can go and learn how to be what he wants to, the right way. Similar in nature to trade schools or business schools, the 'vocational colleges' would have to carry the same charisma as a real college or university, with all of its advantages and disadvantages.

It should be fully accredited, draft deferments should be given to those who attend, and¡entrance should be determined by testing.

Perhaps the idea will die a natural death. I hope not. Maybe, just maybe it would work.

And if it did, I'm sure it would alleviate a lot of today's educational problems.

TV show raps child abuse "Children in Peril: The Battered Child," a symposium on child abuse, will be televised April 18 and 19 by KEBS-TV, Channel 15, forcollegecredit at San Diego State.

The interlogue was video-taped in San Francisco in February. It features lectures by leading psychologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, educators and physicians.

Juvenile probation officers and a superior court judge will comment on particular child case studies.

Problems of parental abuse--both emotional a n d physical, agency protection, and non-punitive solutions will be part of the discussion.

The program will be of interest to professionals in education, social work, medicine, and to interested laymen.

Registered participants will be required to view the program on both days, take a written examination and compose a paper on the conference.

One unit of credit will be offered through the college's office of extended services at a fee of $25.

Full information and application forms are available from San Diego State's Office of Extended Services, San Diego, California, 92115, 286- 6111.

Mexico art course offered A summer session Studio Art Course is being offered which will take students to south and central Mexico.

Instruction will be provided in the basic approaches and techniques of drawing, painting, and candid photography.

Stress will be on helping the student to gain a strong compositional sense and

a facility in his or her chosen media.

There are no pre-requisites for the class; it is open to students, artists, photographers, anthropologists, sociologists, archeologists, or anyone with a desire to develop or improve their pictorial ability and/or with an interest in the arts and culture of Mexico.

The class is being offered on a credit or non-credit basis. Three units of credit are offered.

Registration for the class closes June 27th.

Take any college or university at which activism is rife and chances ~re that you'll find someone there blaming the whole mess on outside agitators.

The other day a strange looking little guy came into the office and announced he had a story.

"Hi there, I'm Eldridge Radic and I'm an outside agitator. The reason I've come to you like this is that I'm sick and tired of listening to politicians and university administrators bad-mouth the honorable profession of outside agitation."

"Well Mr. Radic," we told him, "you have to admit that student activism has the public and the politicians in a turmoil and if you're responsible then you have to bear the brunt of their anger."

"Oh, I don't deny responsibility for it.

Everyone knows that students are much too stupid to start anything on such a scale by themselves. It's just that after a while, the criticism starts to get on your nerves. The only reason we're doin all of this is because at the 1964 World Convention of Outside Agitation we decided that the Civil Rights movement was starting to do all right on it's own and we needed a new line of work."

"The Civil Rights movement? You mean you were in on that?"

"Of course. That's what I've been trying to tell you. Outside Agitators are responsible for most of the social progress in this country since the Civil War. Who do you think first organized the happy coal miners in the mountains of Kentucky? Those idiots were blissfully living on two bits a day until we came along. They didn't have enough sense to be angry when their kids died of malnutrition until we stirred 'em up.

"Southern Negroes didn't understand that they were still living in a slavery situation until our people came on the scene. Several state governors down there gave us our due credit but the press, as usual, missed the boat."

"Your organization certainly has been busy. What else have you been up to?"

"Let me see. In '62, we decided that the draft was unfair so we had to tip-off the young people to that. Believe you me , it' s not easy to personally contact millions of young men and patiently explain to them that the system is filled with inequities. And now that we have discovered that most colleges and universities are merely turning out more fuel for the military-industrial complex at the expense of the needs of a twentieth century human being, we have to start the same rounds all over again."

"That really sounds like a mammoth job. How many are there in your organization?"

"Right now, there are only about a half dozen of us. Some of our former members have resigned and some have passed on. Perhaps you may have heard of some of them; Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy, Thomas Jefferson, Karl Marx, Mahatma Ghandi, Jesus Christ .. ?"

"Wait a minute! Those people weren't outsiders. They were all representatives or members of indigenous groups in revolt against some form of oppression.;, "Maybe so but they were credited to us while they were alive and we've decided to claim them."
