Stull, Burgener tell role of iunior college "When a student appears on campus during a time of unrest carrying a sack of rocks, and it has been determined that he is not a geology student, a new state law now offers administrators definite guidelines as to what action may be taken." Assemblyman John Stull, who served as chairman of the State Committee on Educational Disorders, explained the new laws affecting campus disturbances to 60 members of the North County Community Colleges Association Wednesday night in P-33. Appearing with Stull was State Senator Clair Burgener. "The goal of this type of legislation is to balance innovation with law and order," Burgener said. "Members of a community who are not deeply involved with education know only what they learn from the mass media about a small percentage of students, and they are impatient for improvements." Palomar College representatives at the meeting were President Frederick Huber, Dean of Humanities Howard Brubeck, Faculty Association Vice-president Richard Norlin, ASB President Frank Mott and trustees Richard Kornhauser, Milo Shadle and Dr. Richard Loomis. Bills AB 1286 and 534 outline the duties and obligations of chief administrators and governing boards in e-
numerate penalites for students, Stl,!ll said. He noted that students can lose financial aid for up to two years for law infractions. Burgener referred to the junior college system as an "explosively growing adolescent" in discussing state and local financing, and said that the two year schools must be recognized as "a full partner in the master plan for higher education. " "I feel that all lower dividion studies will someday take place in the junior college, and indeed this may be necessary for financial survival," he said. "The biggest bargain in education today for both student and taxpayer is in the junior college." Stull discussed a bill which he feels now offers "adequate protection" in the distribution of religious and political literature on college campuses. Vocational training and guidance, its strengths and weaknesses and plans for improvement of the program were also discussed by the two legislators. A question and answer period followed each presentation, moderated by Herbert Goldsworthy. Association members offered comments on pending legislature and plans for a four-year college for North County, which both Burgener and Stull said they are pushing for «at the earliest possible moment."

Board hears ASB card charges A small group of students accused school administrators Tuesday night that they were "coerced" into buying the non-mandatory ASB card before they were allowed to register. The charges were made at the regular meeting of the college's Board of Governors. Board President Dr. Bruce Jacques ordered an investigation of the students allegations. College President Dr. Frederick Huber was asked to present an administrative report on all registration procedures at the October 14 meeting. ASB officers, school administrators and classified personnel were among those to whom charges were directed . The students complained of verbal and written misrepresentation and loss of registration priorities, among other things. Huber admitted to the group that the administration "encourages the purchase of the cards and tries to help the ASB sell them. "That's been the policy of this school during the five years I've been here and as far as I know it was the standard before that, " Dr, Huber said. He want on to say that, "At no time is any student denied admission because of not purchasing a student body card." Student Richard Cook explained to the board that he didn't have enough money to pay for books and an ASB card both. He pointed out an incongruity in the fall ·bulletin which led Cook to believe that an ASB card is mandatory on the Palomar campus. Cook paid for the card under the assumption that it was mandatory, but later found out the contrary. He asked for a refund and was told to see the de an of student activities (Dean Robert Bowman. Anothe r s tude nt , John Sny~ r . told
the board that he had missed a day's work in order to register, and when he didn't pay for an ASB card he was told that he couldn't register without first talking to Dean Robert Bowman, dean of student personnel. Snyder talked to Burton and Frank Mott, ASB President on the first day of school and was informed that the matter of refunds would be taken up at the first regular ASB meeting. The meeting was held last Monday and the decision on the refunds was tabled until today at 11 a.m. Today's meeting will be open only to the ASB Council and students who are requesting refunds. "I feel there has been a great deal of misrepresentation and coercion by the
ASB and the administration, with the board's blessing," said trustee Milo Shadle. "I don't think we should be a party to it. I'm very concerned about this matter. Even if it has been a set policy for many years, this doesn't make it right. I'd like to know what is going to be done about the problem." "If student body fees are not mandatory," said trustee Richard Kornhauser, "then there should be minimum delay in granting refunds to the students. This issue shouldn't be dragged through a series of council meetings and hearings . " The ASB Council's actions today, at the refund hearing, wiLl" determine what action the Board of Governors takes on this controversy.
The aggregation of campus club representatives voted to form a committee to collect the necessary information, but failed to appoint anyone to the committee. Dex Allen and Terry Phillips made a presentation in vehalf of their theat rical booking agency. They have promoted many dances at Palomar during the last seven months, featuring such bands as "The Surprize Package" and "Sandi and the Classics". Phillips claimed profits from $200 to $800 per event for club sponsoring dances over the summer through their agency. Allen said that they would like to bring big-name groups to the campus, but that use of the Dome would be necessary. Ward Myers, chairman of the Phys ical Education Department, said that he believes it would be harmful to the Dome to allow dances there. He cited damage to the hard wood floors caused by cigarette burns as the major drawback. Recently the floor was refinished and Myers said that it could not take another surfacing. Re- flooring costs for the Dome were estimated at $25,000 by Myers. Allen has on several occasions said that he would by a canvas floor covering for the Dome Floor if enough concerts were contracted to make it economically feasable. He quoted $3000 as the cost. Phillips said that if the ICC would act promptly it would be possible to get "Three Dog ight" in the Dome in November. The new "Our Club" of rock enthusiasts wish to sponsor the con-
cert happening. In answer to Myers, Phillips said that the Dome is for the use of all Palomar students, not simply the basketball team or athletic department. He stated there was less destructive activities at dances than at many athletic events.
Miss Escondido entrants needed P-ll girls, who are residents of Escondido and are interested in entering the Miss Escondido contest, should contact the Escondido Chamber of Commerce to submit their entry according to Dean Robert Bowman, dean of student activities. The winner of the local contest will receive many pr i zes and will also compete in the Miss California pageant. If she wins there, she will advance to the Miss Ame r ica contest next year in Atlantic City.
Freedom, Raxo Speer set for dance Saturday Freedom, Raxo Speer and Art Streano's Jug Band will provide the sounds at Saturday night's Welcome DanceConcert in the Student. Union. Sponsored by the ASB, the dance is open to Palomar students and their guests only. The affair gets under way at 10 p. m. following the football game with Santa Barbara. Raxo will be playing today in the patio outside of the Student Union at 11 a.m . Admission to the dance is free with an ASB card and $1.50 without.
Recommendations on salaries due at trustees' October 14 meeting The college administraton will have a "definite recommendation to make on faculty and non-teaching employee salaries on Oct. 14," the Palomar College Board of Governors was told at its meeting Tuesday. Dr. Frederick R. Huber, president said that by that date the prospective tax and other revenue would more accurately be known and that the salary matter could then be presented for board action. Gene Jackson, president of the faculty senate, submitted to the board a request for an eight percent salary increase for teaching employees, and asked that an addition of four percent increase be granted if fu nds are availabl e. Mr s . JaDe ne Dugas , repr esenting non-
teaching employees, presented that group's request for a salary raise of seven and one half percent based on increased cost of living. Jackson said the faculty sought the 12 percent increase if revenue prospects warrant it, but that eight percent appeared feasible now within the financial factors already known. The board heard complaints by three students who said they and others sought refund of their $20 Associated Student Body fee which, they said, had been paid during the registration process because it had been implied that the fee payment was required. Board members asked for further details on the matter for t he Oct. 14 meeting.

Comets face Vaqueros tomorrow Last minute score subdues Spartans, 6-3 Following a thrilling 6-3 win over the rugged MiraCosta Spartans last Thursday night, the Comets play host to the Santa Barbara Vaqueros tomorrow night at Escondido High School. Game time is 8 p.m. "We'll never beat Santa Barbara if we play the way we did against MiraCosta." So says Tony Lynds, after returning from a recent scouting trip to Santa Barbara. Lynds, who is the defensive coordinator for tpe Comets was impressed by Santa Barbara's win over Allan Hancock College last weekend. Coach Lynds general comment was "Santa Barbara, under coach Bob Dinaberg (formerly at Cal Western) is a very aggressive, hard-hitting football team. They have an excellent blitzing defense and a quick-hitting offense. " Santa Barbara, which boasts the second leading receiver in the state, Rick Renz, will attempt their second win over the Comets tomorrow night. Head Coach Mack Wiebe was not impressed with the local eleven in last week's contest. "The offensive line left much to be desired. Our line, which consists of nearly all sophomores, made excessive mental errors last Thursday night. It wasn't until 18 seconds were left on the score board that Palomar started playing their usual brand of football." However, Palomar is just following a tradition of pulling out games in the last quarter. Those who followed the Comets last year can well remember how close those games were. Five of the seven wins were won in the last three minutes. Last Thursday's win over MiraCosta was typically dramatic. After repeated attempts by hard working quarterback Jerry Ward failed, his replacement Jim Moyer threw a 33 yard touchdown pass to tight end Doug Blake. 'Dave Faulkner, who was the intended receiver, made a desperate leap for the ball, only to have it knocked out of his hands and into those of the surprised Blake. The promise of a Comet victory tomorrow night lies with the offensive line. After Monday and Tuesday's practice Wiebe is again confident of his "big hogs up front. " "We ironed out a lot of the problems that gave us trouble against MiraCosta. Along with some personnel changes up front, we'll be hitting them with the best that we have going for us on Saturday."

EXHIBU IN LIBRARY
Artifacts relate to sea scrolls Artifacts and material relating to the Dead Sea Scrolls are now on exhibit in the lobby of the library. Mrs. Esther Nesbin, librarian has just returned from the Middle East bringing the displayed articles with her. Included in the exhibit are replicas of the Scroll of the Book of Isaiah and the jar in which it was found, pictures of the Qumran Caves and an interior view of The Shrine of the Book Museum where original manuscripts are housed. Books being shown are, "The Essene Writings from Qumran", "The Qumran Community", "The Dead Sea Scriptures" and "The Meaning of the Dead Sea Scrolls." The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls has had a revolutionary impact on Biblical, historical and theological scholarship throughout the world. The very fact that the writings were enclosed in jars is in itself a link in a historic chain, since the custom of putting scrolls in jars to protect them from the humid Palestinian climate, dates back to ancient times. The writings are all done in ink on the hairy sides of pieces of leather. The size and script of each varies, but they are generally neat and readable and all the sheets are sewn together with threads of flax. The writings are the oldest Hebrew manuscripts in existence. Each scroll has been given a name by researchers according to its contents and each throws more light on the mode of life in the latter part of the first century B.C.E. and the first half of the first C,E. The scrolls, for the most part. de-

scribe the struggle between Jerusalem and its military enemies and the struggle between the "Wicked Priest of Jerusalem" and the "elect ones of God". The area of the Qumran Caves where the scrolls were discovered was the scene of the recent tragic death of Bishop James Pike. Bishop Pike and his wife were in Jerusalem to gather material for their book on the Holy Land when they became lost on the desert. Mrs. Pike managed to struggle to safety but the bishop perished on the desert.
year, Larry Hall and Steve Juarez. The remaining 12 are freshmen with John Simon and Vaughn Lord looking "very promising." "These boys have had experience in high school, but only on a two mile course. Ours is a four mile course," said Curran. "Due to our inexperience, we are only rated sixth in the district, but with work, we hope to finish much better. "For the uninitiated, cross-country is a four-mile course over hills and all kinds of surfaces. It dates back to the Greeks. However, interest has just started to build recently because of the emphasis on physical fitness, the challenge to the individual, and because it is no longer 'the run till you drop' thing, but now places emphasis on overall body strength and endurance." Tomorrow at 10 a.m. a clinic will be held here to promote cross-country in North County. All interested are urged to attend inside the Dome.
KUDZU provides weed for student council's garden It looks as if there may be a weed in the ASB garden. In a position paper called the "The Kudzu," Steve Schneider, last fall's TELESCOPE editor, calls for a student referendum concerning the increased cost of student activity cards, and has circulated a petition demanding that the issue be put before the student body at the fall election. The name "The Kudzu" comes from a name of a weed that is very hard to kill. "Tbe Kudzu," which was published Tuesday, states that the student body card issue was "railroaded into effect before students could voice their opinion," and cited the fact that a petition circulated last spring gained 300 signatures but was invalidated by the Elections and Credentials Committee as •not legally binding." Schneider feels, however, that the
