Recommendation for the addition of two courses developed by membe r s of the campus Mexican American Youth Association (MAYA) and faculty r epresentatives was accepted by the curriculum committee and will be relayed to the governing board for adoption. Virgil Bergman, dean of instruction, announced that two additions to the curriculum would be three unit courses in "English for the Bi-Cultural Student" and "Indian and Mexican-American Cultural Influence in the Southwe st. " Gene Jackson, chairman of the English departme nt, and other faculty members worked on development of the course additions in cooperation with MAYA members. The committee representing MAYA at the curriculum committee session was composed of Tom Castaneda, James Valerio, Linda Valerio, and Marcos Abrego. The committee also suggested addition of a counselor of bi-cultural background, or, if that is not feasible, for a counseling team composed of MAYA members, and additionally proposed that MAYA be included in consideration of bi-cultural instructors and couns elors, with these suggestions referred by the curriculum committee to the administration. Bergman said the English course proposed for bi-cultural students will develop oral and writing skills and also provide teacher assistants for intensive tutoring. The other course will deal with Hispanic literature, behavioral sciences , and social sciences, r eflecting MexicanAmerican and Indian cultural influences on the Southwest.

Ex-Communist Phillip Abbott Luce et<-pressed his views on the "New Left Movement" Monday in the Student Union before 300 students. Luce was a member of the Communist Party until his defection in 1965. "It's extremely difficult to be introduced as an ex- Communist," he said . "because that sets off, I discover, something similar to Pavlovian reactions among people. They either expect you to do something like run over to the corner and plant a Birch tree, or reach in your pocket and say 'I have in my possession a list of 50 professors at Palomar College that I know to be members of the international Communist conspirLuce explained that he had not come to discuss the whys and wherefores of his decision to join or leave progressive labor, but that he wanted to discuss the is sues and crises that we, as a nation, face, and the possibility of change. "I think we all realize that the United States is in one of the most dangerous and frightening positions it has ever been in its history. It is confronted with crisis of extreme enormity in all areas: the economic crisis the country faces,

The final tally was reached after Hahlbohm requested a recount yesterday. The first totals showed Mott had 276 votes and Hahlbohm 260, but an error of one vote discovered in the recount changed the totals. $10 Slate candidate Mark Iacuaniello received a plurality of 196 votes in the race for vice-president, but did not get a majority which is required to win. Cand idate Nick Ashcraft was second in the polling with 141 votes, Jim Carter had 130, and Mariechen Demchak got 56. A run-off election between Iacuaniello and Ashcraft is scheduled. No date has been set. Incumbent Ruth Ann Eicher, who was secretary this semester, recaptured the position of ASB secretary with 310 votes to Slate candidate Barbara Hulbert's total of 226. Miss Eicher had the highest vote total of any candidate in the race.
the crises among you ng people and old people, the crises on the campus, and certainly the crises of the ghettos. "W e see, as we look around, any number of people that are angry and frustrated; people who feel that the changes that must come about in this country must come about immediately, people that feel that we have waited too long to solve the proble ms that we do have, people that speak to us in part of love and feeling, people that would tell is that if we trusted them that they would change things in such a way as to make it better for all of us -- but at what price? And that's the part that bothers me," Luce explained. "I think that we do face all of the problems. I think that the country has got to make the changes necessary. I think that obviously you recognize just as I do t hat unless we as a country change and we as individuals change, that we don 't know what we'll end up with in this country. "What I fear is that what some young people are talking about and are advocating is not at all going to change things for the better -- they're only going to change them for the worse," he continued. Luce used Students for a Democratic Society as an exampl e of one of the many circling organizations on the New Left, and admitted that the organization differs from school to school , saying that some are controllP.d by progressive labor groups and some are free and independent and take their own position. Luce advocated the right of SDS to exist and propagandize on campus , and said, "I believe in a free market place of ideas." However, he objected to SDS and New Left organizations thinking that they have "total truth" and attempting to implement the truth by force and violence. "It's one thing to stand up and advocate (Continued on Page 2)
When initial filing closed last week, there were no contested positions in the election. One person had flied for each position open, and only four students had signed up as candidates for representative. A meeting of the Elections and Credintials committee extended the filing deadline, and the slate of candidates signed up as a result of a suggestion by political science instructor Pat Archer.
FOCUS, Palomar's feature magazine, has arrived. Editor Phil Moore puts a few last minute touche s on the spring e dition before it goes to the press. Copies will be distributed beginning
today free of charge to ASB card holders. They will be available in the Student Union beginning at 10 a.m. Some of the featured articles include life drawing, surfing, and sense awareness.
Pat Smith, also an incumbent, received the second-highest number of votes for any office with 305 votes to Sarah Gonzales' 229. Miss Smith was ASB treasurer during the past semester. Six representatives-at-large were chosen from a field of 14 candidates. Jack Buchans received the highest number of votes with a total of 302. Maryanna Cheung was second with 273. Catherine Widrig received 259 votes. Jon Engle was fourth with 245 votes. Carol Petta netted 235 votes, and Sam Edwards r eceived 232. Five of the six candidates e lected to representative posts ran on the $10 Slate. In selection of A MS and AWS presidents, Greg Salo netted 233 votes to Darrell Wilburn's 183 to win, and Mary Chimarusti beat Susan Montalvo with a 215 to 187 vote margin for the AWS office. The $10 Slate of candidates rallied behind the goals of a $10 ASB card and reduced bookstore prices, and challenged a group of student policy making. Led by presidential candidate Hahlbohm, the s late added extra voter interest to what appeared to be the worst candidate turn-out for ASB elections in school history.
Four Comet thinclads qualify for finals Enriquez, Reis compete in state championships Four Palomar trackmen qualified for the California State track finals tomorrow in Modesto. The Comets qualified last Saturday during the Southern California Finals with Tom Ries leading the local contingent as he placed in the 120 high hurdles, 440 intermediate hurdles and as a member of the mile relay team. Others in the mile relay are Ron Figueroa, Larrie Hall and Frank Enriquez. Enriquez also qualified in the 880. Ries' qualification in the 120 highs was delayed until movies of the race could be reviewed. Ries fell with six yards remaining in the race as he battled Los Angeles City's Lance Babb, the eventual winner, for first place. He slid 15 feet and scrambled the last yard to gain his fourth place tie in the race. Movies of the race showed that Ries was in the lead when he fell and, in fact, he was still in second place after his 15 foot slide, but two runners passed him as he scrambled the last yard. One member of the committee that viewed the film said that he felt Ries probably would have run 14.1 if he had not fallen. He was given an official time of 14.7 after sliding and crawling the last 18 feet of the race. Babb's winning time was 14.3. The Comet mile relay team tied for fourth place with Los Angeles Valley with a time of 3:18.3. Those two teams will be the slowest qualifiers in Saturdav night's state finals. Enriquez placed second in the 880 run behind L.A. Valley's Jime Estes (1:52.0) with a timing of 1:52.9. Ries placed fourth in the 440 intermediate hurdles, thus qualifying to represent the South in the finals. His 53.9 clocking equals thewinning time of that event in the Northern California finals . The state meet is held in conjuction with the Califonia Relays at Modesto Junior College Stadium and is expected to be a 12,000-seat sellout. The Califonia Relays portion of the meet will be televised nationally Sunday by ABC, and it is not yet known whether the junior college events also will be shown. The three individual spots and the mile relay represent the largest number of state-meet qualifiers in the school's history. Bouncing back from a disappointing performance at the West Coast Relays, Palomar's thinclads made a strong showing at the Southern Cal JC Track Prelims May 14, a sequence that has taken place the last four years. The Comets. led by Tom Reis and Pancho Enriquez, tied for thirdwithnine qualifiers in six spots for Saturday night's Southern California Junior Col-
lege championships at East Los Angeles Junior College. "We felt we had a pretty good day third out of 30 schools isn't too bad at all, "said Doc Marrin, Comet track mentor. Mwe were especially happy with Reis and Enriquez." Reis had the fastest qualifying time of the day in both the 120 high hurdles (14. 4) and the 440 intermediates (53. 9), while Enriquez turned in the afternoon's quickest time in the 880 (1:54:2). Reis 14.4 got him only a second in his heat to LACC's Lance Babb, top ranked in the nation, who also ran a 14.4. Five runners in the three heats equaled that fastest time of the day, with MiraCosta's Eddie Johnson just behind at 14.5. Reis time was a new Palomar record bettering his old mark of 14.5. It tied the nation's fourth best 1969 clocking. Reis 53.9 easily won his heat in the intermediates with Long BeachCityCollege' s Alan Tobin running 55. 2 for second place. Enriquez defeated East Los Angeles's Art Martinez, who ran 1:55.3, in his 880 heat. San Diego Mesa's Clark Simon had the second fastest clocking of the afternoon, running 1:55.1 in another heat.

Palomar tennis players receive trophy in meet
Four Palomar thinclads recently qualified for the state championships to be held in Modesto tomorrow. They are Tom Reis (shown above), Pancho Enriquez,
Larry Hall and Ron Figueroa. Reis crept to a fourth place tie to qualify after a spill in his preliminary race last week at East LA Junior College.
Comet archers collect trophies Palomar championship archery team has added another trophy to its year's collection of awards won for triumphs over other top-rate college archers. The local team took first place in the Southern California Junior College Archery Tournament at Rio Hondo. Championship points were accumulated in a series of matches against 30 teams from 15 other colleges. The Palomar mixed team took first place in the second division match. Team members are Jim Shepherd, Harry
Olmstead, Sally Larsen, and Carol Goeppinger. Olmstead took first place high-scoring man archer and Miss Larsen was fifth for women's honors. The first division team of Frank Pallan, Dan White, Terry Gibson, and Maggie Duffy won third place. White was third for individual men archers, only three points off first place. Pallan was fourth and Miss Gibson was fourth in the women's matches. Miss Mildred Ayers is the Palomar archery coach.
change. It's one thing to stand up and advocate student power, to advocate black people arming themselves. It's another thing indeed for a small group of people on any campus to attempt to force others to accept their ideas totally and, if they refuse to accept their ideas in what I call the 'free marketplace of ideas", they'll then use force and try to make you accept their ideas." he said. Luce stated that by resorting to violence and force, these groups violate the first amendment and our conception of "give and take," and that they place the New Leftist in the camp of the totalitarians of the '30's. He cited a picture of the Columbia revolt which appeared in aGrenwich Village newspaper when he said, "The picture showed these SDS'ers coming outof a building burning books. Books on fire. This in the name of changing ideas. This in the name of bringing about a better country. Burning books -- now there's a brilliant conceptional idea of change, isn't it?" In discussing those groups that protest the draft, Luce criticized those people who only protest and do nothing constructive to change the present draft system. "If they wanted to save you from the army seriously; if they wanted to change the military structure of the US because it's unfair, because it's 'selective slavery', they would do it by supporting a motion, or a measure, or a bill that will
totally change the system." Luce attacked President Richard Nixon's idea of a "spin the bottle" lottery for selecting men for the service. "But it won't affect anybody unless they're 18 or 19 years old and then all of them will get sucked up like a vacuum cleaner! Now that's real democracy! It's not personal choice then -- it's how fast you can run to escape the nozzle!" he said. "The Left says only 'give us student power and then we can run everything. Trust us. Trust us who want to stomp on everyone who doesn't believe in us. Trust us whodon'tbelieve in free speech.' "What I'm arguing for is that you need less control, not more control. What you need is a federal government that bugs you less and less. What you need is a university program that is not controlled by the taxpayers and the state. What you need is a whole system of freedom that can only be guaranteed by the Constitution and by a return to the understanding in which this country was formulated." Luce concluded his talk by saying, "The change that will come will come if you work. And if you work within the democratic system, and you change the parties and you change the attitudes and ideas, then you can have a country not just of which you can be proud, but a country that will be able to provide you and your children with not just the education but the material needs that are necessary for every person to function in a society -- political and economic freedom."
