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.

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

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.
