ASB council OK's budget 'Bravura' cut
By Lois Cavalier "Total birth control." Satirist Art Hoppe claims it's the perfect solution for all the world's problems . "Most birth control agencies advocate partial birth control - planned families, wanted child r en - and it must be conceded that this will solve some of the problems of the human race such as finding parking places and that sort of thing," Hoppe said, "but only with total birth control c an we solve all our problems in a single ge neration." Hoppe's lecture on "Satire and Other Blunt Instruments" before a packed Student Union Wednesday morning, was a presentation of the Palomar College Community Services lecture series. His syndicated column appears in over 100 newspapers, including several in SanDiego county.
BRAVURA was removed from ASB funding by a 9-3- 1 vote. The removal of ASB financing will end BRAVURA's sporadic publication history, unless reinstated by the board of governors , to whom the budget will now be subm itted. A similar move, requested by ASB vice-president Jim Vaught and moved and seconded by Nick Ashcraft and Bob Gibson, would have cut all funds from FOCUS magazine.
ASB president Walker then spoke, defending FOCUS. He said that "though last semester's FOCUS wasn't very good, he has confidence in this semester's editor. The question was called for, and the a roll call vote defeated the motion by a unanimous vote. BRAVURA was cut, in the words of one councilman, "because it neve r comes out". Currently, copy is being set by a paid typesetter under the direction of Victoria Richardson and Gene Jackson. Mrs . Richardson is the first student editor of the literary magazine, while Jackson is the advisor. No specific date has yet been set for circulation of the 19 69 issue of BRAVURA. In other action, the council approved of a proposed assembly schedule to allow former Communist Phillip Luce to speak on campus, thus approving of Young Americans for Freedom Ron Zent's request for the assembly. Zent argued that he did not feel that e nough students would be in attendance if the assembly schedule was not used. The request was approved Tuesday by the Administrative Council. Monday, May 19, has been set as the day that Luce will s peak.

Hoppe campaigns lor 'total birth control'
After a record three hour long ASB council meeting Monday, the student body budget was finally adopted in a slightly modified form. Two major changes in the budget were the abolition of BRAVURA magazine and a slash of $125 from Alpha Gamma Sigma's $800 allottment .
TELESCOPE editor Steve Krueger presented FOCUS's case to the council. He cited the fact that since the magazi ne represented the semester' s work of the magazine production class, the e nd re sult of such a budget cut would be the elimination of the end r esult of a class. He argued that if production funds were cut from the magazine, no one would take the class .

"Total birth control will not only end war, it will also eliminate such problems as urban sprawl, water pollution, racial strife, and those who cough during the third act of 'Lohengrin'," Hoppe insisted. "In a single generation our rivers will run pure, the wild flowers will bloom in profusion, the robins will return ... as all birth control advocates point out, the fewer people we have the fewer problems we have, and thus to wipe out all the problems the world faces, all we need do is to wipe out us." To promote his campaign, Hoppe offered such slogans as "Ban the Mom", "Wipe out the human race and save the world", and "Let us think of unborn generations and keep them that way. " Until his plan is accepted on a worldwide basis, Hoppe intends to continue his satirical commentary on such topics as these: On sex education: "Every community now has a fight over sex education things like whether we should offer it to second graders .... I feel that the main problem here is l ack of an adequate textbook for this level. .. so I wrote one." Hoppe then quoted from his own version of "Dick and Jane". On public figures: Lyndon Johnson - "When I found out had to write five satire columns a week with him out of the White House, I almost threw in the towel." (Elbie Jay is one of Hoppe's best known characters.) Richard Nixon - "I can only agree with my friend Art Buchwald who says , 'I worship the quicksand he walks on!' " Governor Ronald Reagan - As Sir Ronald, another Hoppe regular, he asks, "And what, pray tell, is a budget?" On national security : "The power of hydrogen bombs is measured in tons of
TNT. We have enough hydrogen bombs to cover the land surface of our planet three feet deep in TNT. Doesn't that make yC1U feel secure? "We have more ballistic missiles than the Russians do. What we have to worry about is that they have more anti-ballistic missiles." On the draft: "When the government wants my house for a freeway or my backyard for a parking lot, it condemns it and pays me for my capital investment. That's the free e nterprise system . I figure I will have about $3 7, 000 invested in my son when he is 18 1/2 ... and if the government wants our sons they should condemn them." On marijuana: "I want to go on record as being against legalizing marijuana. What's wrong with martinis? Let these young people get drunk, smash their cars, beat their wives - what's good enough for their parents is good enough for them." On war: In a supposed discussion between God and Moses about the commandment "Thou shalt not kill", Moses tells God, "All theologians are against killing children at distance of less that 500 yards ... in wartime, it is a terrible thing to kill a child with a rifle bullet and an atrocity with a bayonet, but it is permissible if regrettable to blow them up with high explosives or to incinerate them with jellied gasoline as long as it's dropped from an airplane or fired from long- range artillery ... we do this to save them from Communism. " "Once a c hild reaches 18, he may be promptly killed in virtually any fashion on the battlefield except with the use of poison gas." On capital punishment: "Use of poison gas is the greatest atrocity ... except in state operated gas chambers where it is used with the approval of almost everyone, because it is considered the most humane way to kill people." On the cost of war: "It costs half a million dollars for every guerilla we kill. This is bothering American taxpayers . You spend half a million and what do you get? You get a dead guerilla." Hoppe's solution: "Wrap half a million dollars in a package and drop it from an airplane on a guerilla. If it hits him it squashes him, and if it misses him it converts him to capitalism instantly." All of these problems, Hoppe reiterated to his audience, could easily be solved by total birth control. Following the lecture and a brief question-and - answer period in R- 5, Hoppe accepted an invitation for luncheon with members of the TELESCOPE staff. Richard Kornhauser, member of the board of governors, attended as did Dr. F r ederick Huber , president of the college , and Theodore Kilman , assistant dean of instruction, adult education and community services.
Geer initiates festival Will Geer, noted actor of stage and television, will initiate Palomar's first annual Festival of Original One- Act Plays May 22-24 in the Drama Lab, P - 33 . Geer, who has gained prominence in touring stock companies, TV, films, Shakespearean festivals , musicals, and dramatic readings, will act as honorary sponsor of the completely student-produced program . The original purpose of the festiva l is the promotion of interest in the creative writing of plays. Major emphasis will be put on the plays and playwrights . As well as being written by students, the plays will be directed, acted, and produced by students. Buddy Ashbrook and Norman Gaskins will serve in advisory capacities for the festival. Nine playwrights and directors will be involved in the festival as well as a total of 36 student actors cast in some 47 roles. At l east 20 students will be invol ved in the technical area of the production. The festival will be split into two sections , the first to be held at 8 p.m. May 22, 23, and 24, and the second to be held at ll a.m. during regular class days starting May 26. The three plays that s how the most potential will be presented on the evenings of May 22, 23, and 24. On May 23, after the presentation of the three plays, Will Geer will lead a panel of
critics in a discussion of the merits of each. Awards for Best Play, Best Direction, Best Actor, and Best Actress will be given at the end ofthecritique. Members of the panel of critics, which will include Geer, will be a professional dr ama critic from a newspaper, a leading director of community theater, and a member of a drama department of a four year college. All of the plays to be produced have been written this semester in a playwriting class. In order to get a play produced, the student had to 1) present a scene rio an analysis ofthe major characters in the play; 2) have the play read in cl ass for student and instructor evaluation; 3) use dialog and subject matter in good taste for community production (d ecision rests with the instructor); 4) be wi lling to rewrite the play as often as needed; 5) submit a typed script in the required manuscript style; 6) prepare enough copies of the sc ript for all concerned; 7) evidence a desi r e, and show a sense of respons ibility, to attend casting and the early rehersals, so as to be available for additional rewriting and council with the director. Eighteen scripts were finally submitted, with some s tudents writing as many as two or three each. Any plays turned in during the rem ainder of this semester will be conside red for next fall's festival.

I Eleven trackmen qualify for SCJC preliminaries
Palomar's track team left Balboa Stadium last Saturday with three meet records, one school record, and llqualified for Wednesday's Southern California JC prelims at East Los Angeles JC. Tomorrow, however, several Cornets have another meet to attend -- the famed West Coast Relays in Fresno. Coach Doc Marrin hopes to take three of four relay teams to Fre sno today, to compete in tomorrow's races . Perhaps the most suspenseful race in last Saturday's PSC Finals was the half mile. Palomar's Pancho Enrique z took the early lead in the race , and he ld it to the tape despite several challenges. He fought off a finishing sprint by Mesa's Clark Dimond to c lock 1:53.7 for a new meet record. Dimond was second in 1:53 . 8. Cornet Ron Figueroa ran an excellent 1:55.2 to take fourth in averyfastrace. Torn Ries turned in a pair of outstanding hurdle times and contributed a 48. 7 leg to the school rec ord - breaking mile relay team. The four quarte r rnilers clocked a 3:19.7. The first, second, and last legs were run by Figueroa, Hall, and Enriquez. Ries won the 120 high hurdles in 14.5 to tie the old meet record. He then carne back to win the 440 intermediates in 54. 5, another meet record. Len Thompson placed second in the !20's in 14. 8 and Mike Quirk flanked Ries at the finish of the intermediates for another 54.5, to gain half of the record. The ve rsatile Quirk captured a third in the pole vault with an all- time best of 13- 9. The other two field - event men advan-
cing to Southern California are Don Tucker and Pat Hallman. Tucker put the 16 pound shot 49-1 1/ 2 to s ecure second, and threw the discus 132-4 for a thi rd. Hallman r ec e ived a bye into the prelims due to an injured ankle. Other qualifiers were Dave Wasden in the high hurdles with a fourth, and Dan Zukaitis in the 220, another fourth. Distancernan Lee McComb sprinted the last quarte r mile of his two mile run to tack down a fourth with a seasonal best of 9:41. 6. McComb's best is 9:39.0.

In a make- up of a previously r ained out game, the Palomar College baseball team was defeated by t he Southweste rn Apaches Tuesday, 11-8. P laying of the game was necessitated by a tie in the final standings for a second place between San Diego Cit y and Southwestern. San Diego Mesa, who wrapped up the Pacific Southwest Confe r e nce title l ast week was defeated last Saturday by the Cornets 5- 4. In Tuesday's game with Southwes tern, the Apaches carne across wi th six runs in the top of the seventh inning e nabling t hem to score the come-from- be hind victory. The Apaches tallied a pair of r uns in the first frame and another pair in t he fourth to mount a 4- 0 advantage. However, the Comets took the lead in the bottom of the fourth with a fi verun rally when Sam Oliva walked, moved to second when Dan Gabbard drew a base on balls, went to third on a double s teal and scored on a single by Mark Ethridge. Gabbard advanced to third on the play. This set the stage for a double to left field by Mike Garver which scored both Gabbard and Ethridge. A single by Dennis Melton brought Garver horne. Southwestern tied the game up in the sixth inning with a run, but the Cornets went back into the lead in their half of the sixth inning with a pair of runs to take a 7-5 lead. Southwestern regained the l ead to s tay with their six•run seventh inning, led by a grand slam horner by Ron Gregg. Palomar attempted a rally in the bottorn of the ninth, but could manage only one run to lose 11- 8. In Saturday's game with Mesa, Ernie Oliva in his last game in a Palornaruniforrn had one of his best days on the mound this year and scored the winning run in t he bottom of the ninth inning. Oliva lasted the e ntire game on the mound for the Cornets while holding the Olympians to four rouns on seven hits .
