Team observes campus area for accreditation
By Jan Gustina Because of the "lack of interest" and ''lack of funds," Palomar's traditional Homecoming celebration has been voted out by the ASB council.
Some areas which will be covered are student personnel services, reporting on the effectiveness of counseling, financial aids, and job placement, student government, covering the ASB budget, peer counseling, and new ASB council policies; and new classes which come under Multi-Cultural Studies.
''I don't know exactly why interest in homecoming faded. Probably for the same reason some other traditions have. These things move with the times," said Tom Pohle, ASB president.
Other reports will include areas of finances, vocational education, need for new programs such as medical and dental assisting and Multi-Cultural Studies , and administration reports on, for example, the President's "task force."
Article depicts life of Don Juan Forster "Don Juan Forster Southern California Ranchero," is the title of a September article written by Mr. John D. Tanner, history instructor. It was published in "Southern California Quarterly," an organ of the Historical Society of Southern California. The article is taken from the recollections of Don Juan Forster, brotherin-law to Pio Pico, California's last Spanish governor. It was from Pio Pico that Forster acquired his 133,000 acre Rancho Santa Marguerita y Las Flores, headquartered on what is now Camp Pendleton. Mr. Tanner is currently writing a full biography of Don Juan Forster.

BULLETIN All students planning on transferring to San Diego State during the spring or fall semester of 1971 should, for their own benefit, attend a meeting Friday in ES-19 at 11:00 a.m. According to Mr. Robert L. Burton, dean of student personel services, "San Diego State will not be able to acce:pt all students who apply for ' ~tdmission. Some students may be disappointed unless they meet San Diego State requirements for transfer. "Palomar students of two years standing will be eligible to transfer if the correct procedures are observed.''

By Willie Parks Because Palomar is a community college, the drama department opened its arms to the entire surrounding areas in search of participants for this fall's first major production. A cast composed of three Navy men, a high school English teacher, a chiropractor and assorted students is about as varied as casts come. These people will be appearing in Palomar's presentation of Arthur Miller's play "Death of a Salesman" on October 29, 30, and 31, and November 5, 6, and 7. The completed cast list has Mel Schuster playing Willy Loman; Kris Robertson, Linda; Perry Sites, Happy; David Fennessy, Biff; Don O'Rourke, Bernard; Claudia Keithley, the woman and Dr. Rollin Coleman, Charley.
Attention Roy Lattin, Tony Price, Rick Eckert, Sheran Gallipeau, Kim Eckert, Steve DeGennaro, Steve Walsh, Marie Nichols, Lisa Floyal, Tina Hernandez, John Nixon, Cass Smith, Ernesto Gutierrez, and Alison Rowe! There will be a meeting of Dr. Frederick R. Huber's "task force" Friday at ll a.m. in C- 7. Anyone who didn't s ign up after the invocation speech last month is also welcome to attend.

The decision about Homecoming was given publicity in two issues of last week's San Diego Union. In quotes from Dr. Frederick R. Huber, college pres\dent, and Richard J. Kornhaus er, president of the Board of Governors, the San Diego Union made communication between the ASB council and the college administration seemingly almost nil. ''I felt that the way in which the San Diego Union presented the story gave a very poor picture of the relationship between the students and the faculty. It called for a confrontation between
the students and the administration," said Dr. Huber. Because certain factions represented on campus thought the decision to do away with the tradition of Homecoming was unfair and unjustified, the ASB council put the issue on their agenda again at yesterday's meeting. Interested people were asked to attend and present their arguments. Since no one attended the meeting from any of these interested groups, the council appointed a member to contact some of them and see if something could be worked out and if perhaps they could organize something themselves. The main reason there is a lack of funds is because so few ASB cards have been sold and the money from them is the principle source of ASB finances. This also shows lack of interest in the ASB and their sponsored activities . Apparently some type of Homecoming celebration other than the traditional one will take place. The Homecoming football game is still slated for October 311 at 8 p.m. against Citrus College.

Council votes out annual Homecoming
When the Accreditation Team arrives on campus next Tuesday, they will be prepared to spend three days observing our campus and learning about new programs, student government, and curriculum.
The Accreditation Team will be on campus next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Its purpose is to recommend whether or not Palomar should be accredited, or reaccredited, by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.

Also appearing in the play are Paul Vautier, Uncle Ben; Steve Sanders, noward Wagner; Hazel Chamlee, Letta; John Herrera, Stanley; Cheryle Kunz, Jenny; and Cheri Jaques, Miss Forsythe. Mr. Buddy Ashbrook , drama instructor, is directing. Cast members are all interested in theater arts work but have different backgrounds and experience. A graduate of Palomar, Mel Schuster first became interested in the theater after attending Ashbrook's evening class in beginning acting in 1969. He appeared in the Patio Playhouse production of "King of Hearts" and played Candy in Palomar's "Of Mice and Men." Schuster commented, "I am particularly impressed with the vibrancy of North County theate r and I encourage interested residents of all ages to actively participate in this rewarding experience." Schuster is 39 yea rs old. Kris Robertson was a member of Emanons, a singing group which appeared on television and radio numerous times. She has also been active in band and chorus, and appeared in last summer's production of "Man of La Mancha" at Palomar. Miss Robertson is working toward a teaching credential in theater arts. Perry Sites, a hospital corpsman stationed at Camp Pendleton, was active in high school and college drama productions at Granada High School and San Jose State. He stated that, " . . . any serious drama is a challenge to me, The changing of age, from 15 to 32, and the fast costume changes are difficul t but with hard work I hope to be effective." Appearing in his fourth play at Palomar, is David Fennessy, who has been in twenty plays altogether since high school. He hopes to receive a teaching degree in college with theater arts as his major. Fennessy said, "I play Biff, a high school star athlete when he was you ng, and a bitter, frustrated person in his mature years. I was never a star athlete in high school. I tried football in ninth grade, but when the water boy got more action than me I realized that I was in the wrong field so I turned to theater and have enjoyed mvself ever since. So my biggest problem is playing a star athlete, but that's the best thing about acting. Even though I was never an athlete, I get to become one during rehearsals and performances of 'Death of a Salesman.' '' "Another problem is playing Biff as a man and then Biff as a 17-year-old. I want people to come out after the play saying they saw me as Biff the man and Biff the boy; not me as Biff the man and me as Biff the boy." Don O'Rourke has appeared in "Man of La Mancha," and "Felicita." He has found that ". . . my toughest job in this play is acting my age. It's easier for me to be a teenager."
Claudia Ke ithley is an English and humanities teacher at Escondido High School. She is currently enrolled parttime in the Masters Degree program in music at San Diego State. Miss Keithley was in all the productions of the North County Civic Light Opera, provided musical accompaniment for several revues at the Patio Playhouse and appeared in "Camelot" at Palomar. She stated, "This is my fir:st part of (Continued on page 2)
'Census week' counts highest student gain Total enrollment in all departments at Palomar for the fall semester stands at a record-breaking 6,556. Dean of Students Mr. Robert Burton made the report, based on "census week" figures for day, evening, and adult education enrollments. The day student enrollment of 3,170 is a 15.10 percent gain from a year ago, Burton said . The total increase in all divisions is up 22.86 percent from 1969, with the highest percentage jump, 77.43 percent, recorded in adult education. Evening classes totaled 2,0 18 compared with 1, 811 a year ago, an increase of 11.43 percent. In the 3,170 day student e nrollment, the total represented 2,1 46 freshmen, compared with 1,921 a year ago; 903 s ophomores, and 25 others.
Scholarship Commission expands state program Approximately 9,300 new state scholarships will be awarded by the State Scholarship Commission in the expanded State Scholarship Program in the s pring of 1971 for use in 1971-72. State scholarships at independent colleges will range from $3 00 to $2,000 per year in $100 intervals depending on financial need but never greater than tuition and fees. A State Scholarship at the University of California will range from $300 to $600 per year, in $100 intervals. The award at a California State College will be approximately $40 0 per year or slightly increased to reflect the increased fees at the State Cnlleges. The deadline date for filing applications is December 3, 1970. Further information is available in the office of the dean of women, A-62.
'Salesman' roles cast talented individuals
EDITORIAL
Budget cut hurts YOU If you are active at all in any budgetsponsored activity here at Palomar, you know that money your organization needs just isn't there for you to use. Due to lack of funds, the ASB is being forced to cut some areas of the budget as much as 20 percent. The primary reason for this is poor ASB card sales. Projected number of ASB card holders was 3000; 1000 have been sold to this date. Even though the cost of the card was reduced by $5 and a coupon booklet was added to the list of benefits for card holders, sales are disappointingly low. No one can be forced into doing anything he doesn't want to, but considering the little money it costs a person to go to school here, it's a real puzzle why they won't spend $15 more and become a member of the Student Body which they make up a part of. Sure, some people don't have the money, but some do and say ''If I don't have to have an ASB card, then I won't buy one." And these same people will turn around and spend the $15 on something that is probably, in their own mind, equally ridiculous.
It's a sad state of affairs when the very people who make up the population of a school can't raise enough interest to keep it going the way it should be . We're all going to be hurt in the long run, but it's the people involved in longrange activities like drama, speech, music, athletics, and journalism who are going to feel this whole thing the most of all. More could have been done by members of the ASB government to promote the sale of ASB cards. During registration, cards were pushed every day, but after classes started, little was said . More activities that rely on the budget for their functioning could have stressed ASB support for their members . It's a little late to start coming up with solutions now because it is obvious that we are all at fault. This whole mess is waking a lot of people up. Without enough student financial support, Palomar cannot return support to its• students. In order to function as a whole unit, we have to be a whole unit -- and this works both ways .

Dr. Rollin Coleman is a chiropractor in Escondido . He spent 12 years working with the CBS television network in Hollywood. Coleman portrayed a soldier in the Felicita Pageant. He has found that his biggest challenge in trying to make his c haracter in the play "believable."
'Kindling' warms crowd Last Friday MECHA brought a group named ''Kindling'' to Palomar to promote the "vibrations of brotherhood" on campus. They played during lunch hour to a crowd of students that may have
been the largest number that has been "together" so far this semester. MECHA hopes to bring other groups to Palomar in the future if they can keep the interest up. Photo by L. McDaniel
MONEY FOR CANCER RESEARCH
Friends of Strong offer discount books By Jan Gustina After 50 years of research and experimentation, many people think that someone has finally made a major breakthrough in finding a cure for cancer. The man is 76-year old Dr. Leonell C. Strong, geneticist and leading cancer researchist. His long years of work with a strain of mice have led to the conclusion that there is a genetic factor involved in the disease of cancer. In 1921, Dr. Strong began genetically breeding a strain of mice and found that in generation after generation a can-
cerous tumor would keep showing up. These mice, termed C3H, are used in approximately 48 percent of the cancer research work done in the world today. In his laboratory in San Diego, Dr. Strong has been injecting about 13,000 of those mice with various liver extracts achieving very good results. He has verified 83.6 percent complete regression of the malignant tumors using the liver extracts, chosen because so many of our bodily functions center around the liver. Perhaps the most successful pilot
experiment, one in which he was able to report 100 percent regression of the tumors, was the one using the liver extract from the grey shark. This particular animal was chosen because it has completed its evolutionary cycle. The experiment is considered successful if a mouse lives in perfect health with no trace of a recurring tumor for three weeks, which is equivalent to five human years. Dr. Strong has found that when a mouse is cured in the first generation, an immunity to the tumor is apparent, and by the ninth generation of offspring,
!Letters to the Editor! Dear Editor, I would have been very pleased to have helped Miss Adams with her flat tire last week! Thus how is it possible that all of Palomar is bad, or wrong, or that there is no studentfaculty relationship? The total are not wrong because a few are, and the few are not wrong because the total is wrong. Palomar is individuals and not a math sum. The thing that is wrong is that the ones you talked to were not taught public manners. I don't believe that is a course given at Palomar anyway. So unless the individual's parents are in Palomar the membership of Palomar are not at fault. Individuals are at fault not ALL. Name withheld on request.

second paragraph. How can anyone be so narrow-minded and selfish as to generalize about the attitudes at a college by reaction to a flat tire. I feel Miss Adams should investigate the campus and people a bit deeper before condemning the entire institution. Also I wonder what happened to Womens Liberation; fix your own flat tire, a good way to approach equality with men. If you can't loosen the bolts I refer you to the weight-lifting room near our Dome.

To the Editor-in-Chief Jan Gustina: I'm a new student here at Palomar and I'am (sic) reacting to the school newspaper, The Telescope. I have two arguments which I would like to present. 1. A twice a week publication of the paper is a waste of the Student Body's time and money. The Student Body's time because I can no longer relish the thought of seeing a 20x20 photo of two teachers and a student inspecting bean plants, and a lOxlO of the editor herself. I have no idea what the cost of a twice a week publication is, but it should be exhausting. 2. The articles which you present in The Telescope reflects not only your need to fill in space, but also your incap~city as an editor to make the right cho1ces of materials to be printed. I suggest a twice a month publication. would also like to see more current world and national news. I don't always get a chance to read the newspapers; by publishing current news it gives me an opportunity to see another view on what's happening. Another suggestion would be to use newsprint paper. This saves cost and serves the same purpose. The Palomar paper seems right out of high school. We are mature college students seeking news, not teeny-bopper entertainment. Get it on people! Faye L.

(Editor's note) First of all let me welcome you to Palomar. Secondly, let me thank you for your letter--it showed me that some of the students here read THE TELE-
SCOPE and don't just leave it in the rack, leave it on their lunch table, or fold it and throw it in the nearest trash can. I'm sorry you don't especially like our paper. We members of the staff like it, although you might say we are a little biased in our opinion of it. Since most of us are journalism majors, it really turns us on to go out and find news, write it up, and publish it in our twice a week paper. It means a lot to us to be doing something in our major field which we can look at as an accomplishment (in our eyes, anyway). If we used newsprint paper, THE TELESCOPE would look much less attractive. The print wouldn't be as clear, it wouldn't look as clean as it does, and we wouldn't know what to do with all the paper we have now that is waiting to be made into TELESCOPES. You may have your wish as far as publishing less often goes, because our budget is among those being cut and we may have to have less issues a month due to lack of money. We will try to publish more current world and national news in the future but it will pertain only with things rele~ vant to the students here. Since we are a school newspaper, we are obligated to devote most of our space to school happenings. Since you say you don't get a chance to read the newspapers (I'm glad you do read THE TELESCOPE) I suggest you listen to your car radio on the way to school--you'll hear all the bad news that way. Our pictures try to reflect the news or the story that accompanies them. We are only trying to let the students know what's going on around here. I can only say that if you do something worthwhile like start a new program, get appointed to something, get elected ASB president, or score a touchdown, we'll put your picture in the paper, too. You obviously have no knowledge whatsoever of journalism or what is involved in the production of a newspaper. And I'm sorry you have such a low opinion of our paper. If you're interested in learning more about the paper or about the field of journalism I suggest you take the classes labeled either Jour-. nalism I or Journalism II. Most people agree that they give them a broader knowledge of the subject matter. Sincerely, Jan Gustina Editor-in-Chief
the tumor is no longer present. Roswell Park Cancer Institute at Buffalo, New York, one of the world's largest and best equipped cancer research laboratories, and Dr. Strong are currently collaborating in an effort to perfect the liver extract. They are trying to find out exactly what the extract is made of so it can be purified and tested. The general feeling toward the liver extract is one of success because it is made up of body tissue and elements in it tend to trigger the body's own immunizational system. When it is completely tested, Roswell Park will make an application to the government to allow them to make tests with the extract on humans . Because it takes $5,000 a month to keep Dr. Strong's laboratory going, and because Roswell Park is governed by New York laws which say that none of its funds can be used outside New York state in cancer research projects, the work of Dr. Strong must be carried out largely from donations. One group which offers Dr. Strong much financial help is the Friends of the Strong Foundation for Cancer Research, headed by Mrs. Virgil Bergman. In the past 1 1/ 2 years the Friends for Strong have raised $50,000 from donations, memorials, and fund -raising activities here in San Diego County. Mrs. Bergman would like to see some Palomar students get involved in helping Dr. Strong continue his work. Over this past summer her organization had 2,000 "Shoppers Discount Books" made up which sell for $5 and include premiums, savings, and discounts from stores, restaurants, service stations, and other businesses all over San Diego County. About 600 of the coupon booklets are left. Mrs. Bergman has offered to give the ASB $1 for every booklet they sell. At the Inter Club Council meeting tomorrow, Mrs. Bergman will appear to talk about the Strong Foundation and explain more about their work. If you are a member of a club or organization in need of funds who would like to help the Strong Research Foundation by selling some coupon booklets, come to the meeting tomorrow and find out more about it. The ICC meets at 11 a.m. in R-3.

Paul Vautier is a photojournalism major attending Palomar under the Navy's ADCOP program. He has had previous acting experience in high school and college. Steve Sanders, who has played in high school musicals finds a challenge in the transition from musicals, where the majority of roles were dancing and singing, to serious drama using dialogue. A theatrical arts major, Hazel Chamlee hopes to receive a BA degree from San Diego State and teach high school drama. She has been involved in stage productions since the age of 12, and has also won various awards for her involvement In speech activities. John Herrera is attending Palomar on the ADCOP program. He was in "Man of La Mancha" and had three separate character parts In the Felicita Pagent. "The greatest challenge in doing the role of Stanley, the waiter, is learning and using what will hopefully pass as a Brocklyn accent," commented Herrera. Cheri Jaques has taken part in musical productions at Vista High School. Miss Jaques stated, "It has been a great thrill for me to be able to work with so many fine, hardworking people as are in the cast. They're a great bunch of people with a lot of talent. "
