On Wednesday, October 15 there will be efforts nation-wide to have a moratorium on business - as- usual so as to launch the first of a new round of protests against the Vietnam War. Many activities will be taking place: peace rallies, teach-ins, debates town meetings, leafleting, vigils, etc. In a limited way, Palomar College, too, will engage in this moratorium by holding "Open Hours" from ll a.m . - 1 p.m. on October 15. During the two-hour session various activities will take place around the campus , in an attempt to get the entire student body involved with the Vietnam War protest. Climaxing the school activities will be a mass procession to the peace rally at Glen Park in Cardiff. A motion was passed last Tuesday by both the Administrative Council and the faculty allowing for the suspension of business-as usual on campus ''with the understanding that those instructors who are so inclined could dismiss class during these hours. Hopefully, persons with varying points of view would be encouraged to participate. '' Students should check with their instructors to find whether classes will be dismissed during these hours, and, if so, they will be free to participate in moratorium-related activities.

Nurses welcome freshmen Freshman students were welcomed into the nursing program at a party given in their honor by second year students last week. The one hour affair was an informal "get acquainted" session and voluntee r hostess es served refreshments of cookies and punch. Present were members of the nursing faculty, Mr. Harold Cheyney Jr., medical assisting teacher; Mr. Eugene H. Stevens, biology instructor; 33 new students and 26 second year students . SNAP (Student Nurse's Association, Palomar) held its first monthly meeting recently. Business was primarily concerned with acquainting freshman students with the organization and the benefits de rived from membership in it. It was pointed out that SNAP members enjoy reduced rates in ''The American
Journal of Nurses" a periodical which is a "must" for a ll nursing students, and that malpractice insurance is also issued at a reduced premium rate. SNAP is the local level of the large r SNAC (Student Nurse's Association of California) and it is necessary to be a m e mber of the former organization before acceptance into the latter . During the year, SNAC sponsors many informative seminars, featuring speake rs in different fields of medic ine. Frequently,students e njoy dinner at designated resturants between sessions, which affords an opportunity for r e laxation as well as study. SNAP officers this yea r are: Mrs. Pam e la Fahring, pres ident; Miss Shirley Shaffer, vice president; Miss Ilona Guimmaye n, secretary: and Mrs. Betty Scribner, treasurer.

Comet contingent opens loop action Footballers test Riverside Tigers at Homecoming Coach Mack Wiebe's gridders, unable to work its newly found offense and its hard hitting defense at the same time, hopes to put it all in one bag tomorrow night in its Mission Conference opener against Riverside City College. Kickoff is 8 p.m. at Escondido's Memorial Field. Riverside has been waiting of this rematch for one year. It was Palomar who kept the Tigers from competing in the finals last year with a 22-20 last minute win over the Tigers. Defensively, the Comets suffered setbacks as the Panthers struck swiftly. Halfback Pete Villarreal had the longest gain when he ran 78 yards for a touchdown after six or seven Comet defenders had a hand on him. Coach Wiebe has come up with a few changes defensively in order to prepare them for Riverside. Rory Reeves has moved to left defensive end, with Mark Karges replacing Reeves at linebacker. Ron Heredia will fill the gap at safety. Wiebe is optimistic about his defensive unit. "We were too aggressive against Hartnell. Everyone wanted to get that exploding hit instead of hugging them up for the crucial blow. There is a fine line separating the defensive unit from playing average and tremendous football". Most of the Comets• 440 years were gained by hard-hitting Tony "The Pineapple" Letuligasenoa and newly positioned tailback Kirk McClure. The latter ran 22 yards to pick up six points. The other six points were registered by quarterback Jim Moyer on a two-yard run. Moyer, making his first start at quarterback since his sophomore year in high school, passed for 216 years and earned a starting job against Riverside for the injured Jerry Ward . Moyer's favorite receivers in the Hartnell clash were Doug Blake, Hal Collier and Louie Ruiz who caught passes for 56, 55 and 4 7 yards, respectively. Palomar 's Golden Gloves Champion Doug Blake brought the fans ~o their feet again when he got into a fight with a defensive back near the Hartnell bench. Blake was immediately surrounded by a host of Panthers who r est ricted his fancy fo otwork, but not until he was awarded a 15 yar d penalty. The Comets really have their work cut out for them tomorrow night. It comes in the fo r m of tailback Ho r ace Kendricks, who was last years' P l aye r of the Year i n Mission Conference Play for Riverside. "If we get to Kendricks' right fr om the openi ng whistle, I'm sure we can neutralize Riverside's ground attack." Palomar's probable neutralizers:

It's a little late but this photo by TELESCOPE photographer Ted Karounos shows how the Comets pulled out
their first victory of the season against cross-town rival MiraCosta. The pass, a 33-yarder from quarterback Jim Moyer
was headed for Dave Faulkner, but was knocked into the hands of Doug Blake to give the locals a 6-3 edge.
FIVE YEARS OF TRIAL AND ERROR
Dr. Mahan devises taped lessons for blind Five years of trial and error experimentation by a Palomar College i nstructor have produced a successful system of tape-recorded lessons in first- year psychology for visually- handicapped persons, and others unable to atte'nd classroom lecures. T he instructor is Dr . Harry C. Mahan, chairman of the college's behavorial sciences department. He has been a Palomar psychology instructor since 1957 , a nd holds a doctorate degree from Ohio State University. As a result of the tape- recorded system he has developed, the beginning psychology course can now be made available to handicapped students, and is also used for make-up work by students who may miss a class session.

"As a result of preliminary studies, it was found that ordinary classroom lectures do not lend themselves to the recor ded medium , " Mahan said in expla ining the developme nt. "Neither does the recordi ng of textbook materi al. "It was established through many experiments and formats that such recordings are dull and will not hold the liste ner's atte ntion very l ong.," he said. "Also tried were questions with br ief a nswers, but that technique also proved to l ack listener appeal in a series of tests .
"The method which has been found suc cessful in the new plan is that of a conversational- type dialogue -that is, questions fo llowed by an explanatory answer by the instructor. One hour of such dialogue, it was found, can cover the equivalent of almost three hours in the c lassroom. The student may listen to t he tape as many times as he finds it necessary." Dr. Mahan said that in order to apply t he method to the college course, Psychology I, it was necessary to revise the content of the course, basing it on "human interactions to a much greater extent that had previously been the case. " He said the course covers introducti on to interactional psychology, persona li ty, lear ni ng habit, fee lings and emotions , attention, perceiving and remembering. Mahan said college credit may be earned in the course t hrough the taped instructions and with examinations. For the blind, he pointed out, the taped series is especially advantageous i n lieu of classroom work, as it requi r es no books or class notes . Mahan said he will work individually with handicapped persons.
Dr. Harry C. Mahan, Palomar Psychology instructor recently produced a system of tape-recorded lessons for the
visually handicapped . The process took five years of trial- and- error experimentation, and may be used in the home .
Pool construction begins soon Construction on a campus swimming pool will begin in December, with com p letion scheduled for July , according to Mr. Ward Myers , head of the physical Educational Department. Myers said the pool will be 100 feet long and 75 feet wide , with racing lanes and diving boards . With the new pool the campus will be able to have a swimm ing team, according to Myers. Red Cross water safety programs will also be held in the pool. Myers said the pool will accom modate swimming c lasses, from beginning to advanced. Dr. Frederick Huber, president of the college, said that t he cost of the pool would be about $230,000 . $126.000 of the funds would be allocated by the state. The district is to provide $88,000 in matchi ng fu nds of whic h $65,000 will
come from private sources. Huber said the rest of the funds would come from the district special r eserve fund.

"It was the best meet we've r un to date . But we lost!" Cross country coach Mike Curran's summation of last week's tri-meet pretty well reflects the teams spirit and dedication, but unfortunate lack of depth. Coach Curran plans to "work through" today's home encounters ·with Grossmont en route to a hoped-for victory over San Bernardino next week. At the tri -meet, scored as a doubledual meet, Chaffey ran by the Comets 20- 38, while Riverside barely edged them 25-30. Had a single Comet barrier moved up a place or two, Palomar instead would have edged Riverside. The times were especially pleasing to Coach Curran. "Compared to our last meet with Chaffey at Long Beach, we improved our times about 30 seconds more per man." Bill Jones upset teammate John Simon for the first time this season completing the course in third place with a time of 21:55. Simon was sixth with 22:44. Richard Cullip (24:21) likewise clipped Bob Strutton (25:00) while Steve Juarez (25:52) and Mark Blakeslu (28:17) rounded out the Comet finishers. After over coming the problem of adjustment from the two mile high school course to the college four miler, the team is now trying to learn to compete as a team. ''Many of the boys were individual stars in high school rivaling each other. The problem now is instituting team work.'' Of late, coach Curran has been drilling his barriers more on speed work, rather than the strength building workouts used initially.
Parking problems to be alleviated via present plans on drawing board Anyone had trouble fi nding a parking space here late ly? Well, don't give up because mor e parki ng lots are on the drawing boa rd right now. According to Dr. John D. Schettler, Ass istant Superinte nde nt in Charge of Business, "Plans are well under way and more parking will be ready for next fall. "The par king fee that students pay is s pe nt on the upkeep of the pa r king lots that the school has and for the buildi ng of new lots when needed." The parking lots a r e needed now, so Tuesday the proposal goes before the Board of Gove rnors for the green light to begin work on two mor e par king lots. "The proposal s hould pass , as it is a l ready in the budget and i s neces sary t o accommodate the extr a parking which is up 10 percent fr om las t year ," said Dr. Schettler. New parking lots are planned for the land west of the campus which was pur chased three year s ago, and off t he east road behind the gym which will extend towar d the hi ghway. These lots will be covered with decomposed grani te until they can be covered with asphalt and s hould be fi nis hed by next fall. T hree hundred or more extra parking spaces should be made possible with these two lots. "A problem about building parkinglots here is that this is a swampy valley which makes the parking lots weak and easily worn," Dr. Schettle r added. Last year's rai ns played havoc with the parking lots , so much of the money from the parking fees went for repai r . "The students have done well wi th their parking under present conditions, and we hope to m ake it even easier for them . "
