PALOMAR MOTIONLESS
Peace march, rally slated in San Diego With 9,000 soldiers and Marines tucked away in the shadows of the nation's capital and an estimated 250,000 antiwar demonstrators on hand in Washington D. C. to protest againstAmerican involvement in Vietnam, this month's edition of the Vietnam Moratorium has caused a renewed polarization of the 1 i be r a 1 and conservative elements throughout the country. The three-day moratorium began last night in Washington when Mrs. Martin Luther King Jr. led a candlecarrying procession from the gates of Arlington National Cemetary, across the Lincoln Memorial Bridge over the Potomac, past the White House to the CapitoL Similar demonstrations will be held i n countless cities, towns and college campuses across the nation. Palomar College will have no demons trations. Rick Jahnkow, prime mover behind the moratorium on this campus and organizer of a full-scale leafleting campaign throughout the North County has become fed-up with student interest. ''A lot of people said they would help, but no one did anything," he said. Jahnkow has manned a table in the Student Union since yesterday, passing out information regarding the moratorium and the Vietnam war. People from throughout San Diego
County will assemble at India and "U" Streets in San Diego's Newton Park tomorrow morning at 11:45 a.m . The march will proceed up Broadway to 6th Street and then on to Balboa Park for a rally. The rally following the march will begin about 2:30 p.m. Nationally acclaimed speakers, representing various political factors will speak. Also at this time fam ed bands, including Santana, will present a "Rock for Peace." When the rally ends at dusk a candle-light walk will proceed across the park to the Naval Hospital where a vigil until midnight will end the activities. Although the Student Mobilization Committee is e ncouraging participation in the San Diego march, it is focusing on the San Francisco march for all those able to go. SMC's ~up to Frisco" Committee has obtained busses through Paul's Bus Lines. Buses will leave San Diego State today at 3 p.m. following a brief send-off rally. The march is being planned by the Citizen's Mobilization Committee and will be a peaceful and lawful protest. Tonight at the La Jolla Cove, there will be a candlelight poem reading and folksinging happening. It is scheduled to begin at 7:30p.m.
'I fELT AMERICA'S BIGNESS...'

Japanese coed fulfills ambitions By Martha Miller Kyoko Mori came to this country from the Tokoku district of her native Japan, hoping to realize here her two foremost youthful ambitions: to improve her use of the English language and to receive technical preparations for a career in hospital services in her home land. The petite and pleasant Miss Mori, at 23, already has an excellent working use of conversational English, learned in studies during her high school and college years in Japan, where she attended Miyagi Gakuin College for Women. The Rotary International Exchange Program, and related sponsorship by the Vista Club, made it possible for the ambitious Japanese girl to come to the United States a year ago to continue her studies in English and in hospital services. She is living in the home of Mr. and Mrs. George F ord of Vista. The Tri-City Hospital provided parttime employment. She is working there 12 hours a week in medical records, and at the same time learning firsthand some of the many essential functions that go on behind the scenes in a large, modern hospital. At Palomar she is carryi ng the substantial study program of 13 units in such courses as medical assisting, medical terminology, medical office pro-
cedures and records, psychology, and business English. With the combined assistance of Rotary, Tri-City and Palomar, Miss Mori is making rapid progress in her twofold ambitions. Considering that she is a stranger in a new land, coping with the obvious language difficulties, her sponsors and the hospital and the college all say that she has adapted extremely well and shows a splendid ability to grasp and expand her knowledge and proficiency in her chosen goals. "I am learning something every day. To be able to study abroad, and to work here in this country are very wonderful experiences for me, and I appreciate everything that my sponsors have made possible. "When I stepped off the airliner in California in August 196 8, I felt America's bigness at once, and wondered if it might be just too big for me." she said. "Yet everyone in Vista, and at TriCity and at Palomar, have been so helpful and friendly, that my doubts soon vanis hed. Palomar is a friend ly and active school and the friendships I have made there I will remember in all the years ahead." She came here from Sendai, Japan, which she described as being located 250 miles north of Tokyo on Japan's east coast, and capital of the Miyagi Prefecture, the economic center of the Tohoku district, with a population of
500,000. At home are her mother, one brother and one sister. The three c hildren attended c ollege and Miss Mori studied English literature and library science, graduating with the American equivalent of a bachelor of science degree. hen she returns home, she said, after this college year, s he intends to follow a career i n hospital work, which accounts for her heavy college schedule in medical assisting subjects and business records. The people at Tri-City, she said, "have provided me with very interesting and helpful work, and they have given me much valuable help in the improvement of my English, especially with pronounciation." As for her social life, she said she e njoyed participation in student activities on the campus, and in her temporary hometown of Vista. "In Japan we do not have dating customs amo ng high school students such as prevails in Ame rica," she said, "but there have been great changes in recent years in the role of women. After World War II, nylon stockings were discove r ed in Japan and also tll,e f act that women no longer need hide behind the men at home or in outside work. They now participate more in social, professional and government affairs. Still, American life seems very informal to me, by comparison. The people are more easy going, there is less formality in daily affairs, and every one is very friendly. You just can't help liking this country and its kind and friendly people. "We had several American teachers in the school and college I attended and all of them were helpfuL I think it was my special good fortune to be sent to Southern California, and to a home in Vista, and enrollme nt at Palomar, and the chance to work in my chosen field at Tri-City HospitaL

Palomar student new Miss Escondido Jodi Scott, 18, an English major at Palomar, has been named Miss Escondido for 1969. She won the title recently over four finalists at the Escondido Country Club. Under a new setup. Jodi automatically will go on to Santa Cruz in June to compete in the Miss California Pageant.

A five-foot, four-inch brownette with green eyes. Jodi also confesses a love of poetry. As for a career, she said s he hasn't made up her mind.
Noontime turns to dusk and nigh descends all in a matter of seconds as the soft music fad es. Stars swiftly make their appearance in an amazingly faithful replica of the night sky. Even the most ardent outdoor stargazer must admit the advantages of carpeting and soft chairs and the even . 68 degree temperature of the Palomar College Planetarium.J. After briefly outlining the history and equipment of the planetarium, the speaker for the evening begins pointing out constellations. Alternating as lecturers are Planetarium Director Charles A. Coutts, Assistant Director Joseph P. Willis and Earth Science Department instructor Richard S. Noble. The only time lectures are not held is the last two weeks in August, when workers from Spitz Laboratory clean and adjust the equipment. The Palomar College planetarium features a Spitz Model A3P prime sky instrument, pro-, jecting on a 30 foot aluminum dome. Intriguing topics for coming months are "Pageant of Lights" for November, "The Christmas Star" in December and "Riddles of Modern Astronomy" for January. "Volume I, Number I" of "Planetarium Notes", a newsletter planned for monthly publication, is now available at lectures and at the planetarium office. Since the planetarium opened on March 22, 1965, more than 60,000 people have viewed the weekly shows. In addition to regular Wednesday evening audiences, special programs are offered for schools, science clubs and service organizations. The Wednesday programs are open-to the public and are held at 7:15p.m. and 8:30 p.m., each with a 15 minute prelude of classical music. No one is admitted after the lights are dimmed.
Moon specimens now on display Rock fragments brought back from the moon by Apollo 11 are presently on display at the Scripps Aquarium in LaJolla. Recently, a busload of Palomar physical science students, through the efforts of Mr. Richard Noble, of the Earth Science Department visited the fa mous aquarium to examine the moon rocks and listen to speech by the distinguished chemist, Dr. Harold C. Urey. Dr. Urey discussed his theory of the origin of the moon and the basic composition of the lunar rocks. The students, many of whom had never seen the Scripps aquarium were able to look at the rocks through a glass case located in the oceanographic section of the building. Apparently many of them expected to see a large mass of the lunar composition, but as it turned out, only small particles of rock were available for display at UCSD. According to one aquarium official, the moon rockets are priceless. However, their 'value should depreciate ¡ considerably when Apollo 12 returns fr om the moon with another load of the precious material. Along with the lunar rocks, many fascinating displays of sealife and sea research are also on exhibit at the aquarium. The display will continue through Sunday. The visiting hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
Sinz organ recital scheduled lor April An organ recital by Emilie I. Sinz, of Vista, originally announced for Nov. 15 at Palomar College, is scheduled for the spring semester, instead, and will be given at 3 p.m. on April 26. She has taught at John Muir College, and is former music supervisor of Pasadena city schools. Another organ recital is scheduled for Feb. 16, by Howard Don Small, organ-choirmaster of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, San Diego. The college Community Services Department said the Small recital will be given at 8 p.m., instead of 3 p.m. as previously announced.
COMETS' BIG MAN
Cagers look (up) to Ayars Palomar's basketball hopes this year may rest with the dunking ability of 6'8 sophomore center Charlie Ayars. "At the beginning of practice Charlie could hardly dunk the ball," new Comet coach Andy Gilmour said, ''Now he stuffs with ease. His jumping ability has increased quite a bit. Ayars' improvement has come through long hours of extra practice and individual attention from Gilmour, who realizes the Comets aregoingtohavethe sink or swim with the big sophomore, who at 6-8 is the team's only "big man." -Ayars also is learning to go full speed at all times, to be more aggressive and to give a constant 100 per cent effort. As his basketball has improved, so has his confidence. "I dunked in two games last year. I'd like to be able to do it more this season." Ayars said Gilmour couldn't be happier. "The dunk is one reason junior college ball has become so exciting." Gilmour said. "Basketball is a spectator game and taking away the stuff takes away a lot of the excitement. I think it should be put back in on the high school and fouryear college levels . "The only thing I ask of my players is that a kid have the ability to dunk in a game before he tries it. I don't like to see the ball bang on the rim and bounce 10 feet i n the air I don't want my players to feel they have to put on a show." Gilmour does not believe that dunking e it he r w i n s gam e s or hurts an individual's ability to shoot lay-ups, theories put forward by some coaches. ''All the 'no dunk' role does is penalize a kid because he happens to be tall. I
don't think that's right," he said. Gilmour has one other player who is able to dunk consistently, 6-2 sophomore forward Earl May, who led the old Pacific Southwest Conference in assists last season and this year looks improved in every facet of the game. The new Comet coach picks out May and Ayars as standouts in practices so far, and he feels freshman guards Mark Embrey, Ken Carr and Marty Bojorquez look "very promising" at this point. "We've had to use Embrey and Bojorquez more at forward than we'd like. When football's over, we'll move Karl Heine to forward opposite May, and we'll be able to utilize Embrey and Bojorquez more at guard. A kid has to play his own position to be able to go on and play on the next level. Heine, at 6-4 1/ 2, is one of four players the Comets will pick up after football. The others are David Faulkner, Jim Ridlon and John Faris. "We're really looking forward to picking up Faulkner." Gilmour said, "He's talented and he's quick and he can play the point for us." The 5-9 Faulkner, a former AllAvocado League first-team selection, started for the Comets last season until he was shelved by a knee injury. I've been real happy with out kids' attitude so far. It's not easy to stay 'up' mentally when you practice for six weeks before you even play a game.'' Gilmour said. The Comets will open with Long Beach 9ity College Nov. 28 in Long Beach, play
Moorpark the next night at Moorpark, then travel to Imperial for the Elks National Junior College Tournament Dec. 4-6. The other California teams in that tournament will be fmperial Valley, Pasadena City College and Riverside City College. The four out-of-state teams will be Arizona Western from Yuma, Ariz.; College of Eastern Utah from Price, Utah; Murray State College from Tishomingo, Okla.; and Meramec Community College of St. Louis, Mo. The Comets will scrimmage Cypress there tomorrow.
Auto Tech racer hits low twelves Fast just isn't fast enough for the Auto Technology Department's 1952 English Ford screamer. The c a r , a h i g h 1 y modified conglomerate (chevy engine , olds rearend), turned in a time 12.44 seconds at llO m.p.h. last Saturday night at Carlsbad Raceway. What makes the feat more re markable is that the car is powered by a 6 cylinder e ngine. The previous best time was 12.61 seconds. Mr,Larry L. Bertram ofthe industrial arts department said, 'fWe feel we are doing very well with the small engine ... and I don't see why we can't break into the ll second bracket in time.'' The car will be at the raceway again Saturday night, November 22.

Business instructor Brian Michaelson, one of 10 new teachers this semester,
stands next to one of the many machines used in the Business Department.
Instructor Michaelson discovers local students intensely involved ''I find Palomar students intensely involved in the educational process," declared Mr. Brian Michaelson, business instructor. Mr. Michaelson is one of the 10 new teachers on campus this semester. He sat on the edge of his desk, one leg crossed over the other, in the compact office he shares with Mr. Edgar Stroot, business teacher. "Frankly, I was amazed at the interest my students have shown. My classes were above capacity at the beginning of the semster. Changes had to be made, but still an average of 40 students per class remains," he said. Mr. Michaelson teaches three data processing classes and two accounting courses. The instructor was born in Ohio and received his BBA from Ohio University in 1966. He had visited the west coast on several occasions in the two years previous to his graduation and elected to complete his education at California State College. Long Beach. He received his MBA from that college this year. While at Ohio University, Mr. Michaelson worked as a research analyst on a Ford Grant for two years. "It was our job to analyze population census figures," the instructor stated. ''I worked as a junior accountant in San Francisco. Then at Cal State was a graduate assistant in the business department." he said. Mr. Michaelson a 1 so organized a course in sensitivity training which was
part of the ''experimental college concept" at the university. "The idea of the experimental college is to determine which courses invoke the most interest," he explained. "If a student has a particular interest in a subject, he is expected to find a 'leader' and organize a group. The ' l eader' need not necessarily be a teacher. If enough people show an interest in the area, the group is recognized as a 'class'. "For example, at one point I organized a wine-tasting class. We arranged for representatives from different wineries to bring sample in. Each would give a short talk and then the students were asked to taste the wines. Some cneeses were also offered. Mr. Michaelson said that the experimental classes offered no credit except that an "E" indicating completion of the course was placed on the student's record. "I enjoy living in California very much, but the East also has lots-to offer," he said. I liked the change in seasons back there for one thing and although I lived in Ohio, I made many trips to New York, and I feel that their theaters are unsurpassed. We don't get first run shows like that here." "As far as people are concerned," he continued, "I think they react to one another the same way wherever you go. There is much more of a casual existence out here, however."

since the Grossmont game, will probably need all the time they can get in order to play last p 1 ace San Bernardino November 21. The final game of the season will take place at San Bernardino's Orange Show Bowl. The Comets, who have been in a nose dive the last half of the season, crashed and burned last Saturday night at Chaffey College. After sifting through the rubble, Coach Wiebe was only able to muster a 17-15 loss. A familiarity of Palomar's offense by the opponents has led to the Comets' downfall this year and not a lack of enthusiasm. "It all comes down to the fact that for the past two years at least 35 percent of our offense has been built around throwing the football. We just haven't been able to throw well this year.'' The Panthers, improving but perhaps the weakest team the Comets played this year, knew and used this knowledge by limiting the locals to a season low of 83 yards rushing. They took away the draw, they were looking for the sweeps, and they were ready up the middle. Second string quarterback Jim Moyer scrambled well, but again had trouble finding open receivers and had more than a few of his passes were dropped. Palomar scored first as an alert Faulkner fielded a short Panther punt and returned it 39 yards to the Chaffey seven yard line. Three plays later fullback Tony Letuligasenoa slammed over from the one, with Faulkner booting the extra point. San Bernardino is winless to this point in the season and will be gunning for the Comets. Statisticallyspeaking Palomar should beat them. Unfortunately, statistics don't impress the head coach. The team that really wants to play football is the one that gets his vote.
