Students may drop 2-S; reclassified into 1-A status Registrants wishing to drop their deferments and be reclassified into Class .1-A status, to take advantage of a yearend policy announced last month by the Selective Service System, have been given until midnight, December 31, 1970, to file for reclassification. Suc h requests must be received by local boards by that date or carry a postmark dated December 31, 1970 or earlier. This announcement, with instructions, was issued to local board personnel by Dr. Curtis W. Tarr, national director of the Selective Service. These instructions alter previous policy, which stated that the application had to be in the hands of local board personnel prior to a December meeting of the local board. In particular, the instructions to local boards will be of interest to men who
hold high numbers in the 1970 draft lottery. Should a young man hold a number higher than that reached by his local board--No. 195 has been set as the highest number which any local board can reach--it is to his advantage to voluntarily give up his deferment for a 1-A c lassification. In such a case, he will move to a lower draft priority group on January l, 1971 with other members of the 1970 first priority group withunreachednumbers. According to Rick Jahnkow, student draft counselor, the above information is only for people who were 19-26 yearsold last year. Those who turned 19 this year are not in the 1970 lottery. Nineteen-year-olds who have received their lottery numbers this year, for

next year, should plan on keeping their deferments until it is established how high next year's lottery call will go. "Students who are in this year's lottery and have high numbers need only send a simple note to their local board stating that it is their understanding that with their lottery number they are not draftable for this year and would like their deferments dropped . This note should be mailed via registered mail--return receipt requested--so that the rec e ipt will prove the letter was mailed. "No registrant should trust that his local board will always follow correct procedure, and the local board should not be relied on for correct information and handling of registrants files. Therefore, any registrants who have questions or need advice should see a qualified draft counselor, • • Jahnkow stated. Draft counseling is available in R-5 Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 3 p .m., Tuesdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p .m., and Thursdays from ll a.m. to l p. m. The types of deferments affected by the memorandum are high school and college deferments, occupational deferrments, agricultural deferrments, paternity and hardship deferments.

'Little Giant' ready for all competition By AI Simmons "Little Giant" will turn it on again tomorrow night at the Carlsbad Raceway. At its last appearance at the Orange County strip the Palomar Vocational Auto Club entry won in its class, adding another trophy to the club's collection, totalling six this semester. Piloted by Jim Some rs, a professional driver from Garden Grove, the G gasser eliminated a modified VW , despite mechanical problems. ''It looked like a couple of lame ducks running down the strip," explained Mr. Larry Bertram, club adviser and Auto Technology instructor. "We were missing on one cylinder and so was the bug.'' "Little Giant" was built and financed entirely by Palomar students. Repairs, modifications and routine maintenance are carried out in the Auto Tech Department. Last minute tuning is usually done at the drag strip. Less than a year ago the car was running in the 12 second elapsed time bracket and Bertram predicted a break-

ADCOP student Michael Denny, who was killed in an accident October 18, has had a scholarship established in his name . Begun by the ADCOP students here on the Palomar campus, it is called · the Michael Denny Memorial Scholarship Fund.

through into the "elevens." The best time to date is 11.88 seconds, less than a second away from the National Hot Rod Association class record. Now Bertram predicts, "One of these days 'Little Giant' will ·.run the record." Powered by a highly modified six cylinder engine, the car is a 1950 English Ford Prefect with a lightweight fiberglass body and weighs 1770 pounds . The body was hand-made from molds of the original steel body. It could be called a four-door version of the English Ford Anglia. "At the strip, the car's an underdog," commented Mr. Bertram. "It's also a crowd pleaser. The crowd likes to see that little six-haler do a job on V-8's." And it does eat up a lot of V-8's, thanks to the heart of the machine: a 250 cubic inch Chevy six-cylinder engine. That "little six-haler" gets a lot of help from the special equipment and modifications done by Palomar Auto Tech students. It breathes through a trio of specially prepared Rochester 2-barrel carburetors, capable of delivering a combined peak flow of 1350 cubic feet per minute. Valve timing is the job of a McGurk roller cam, and ignition is supplied by a Vertex magneto. Stock bore and stroke is retained making this a high-reving "oversquare" engine design. Power is transmitted through a Turboclutch unit, which is actually a competition Turbo-hydramatic transmission with a manual clutch linking it with the engine. At the rear end is the narrowed Oldsmobile differencial running 4. 88 gears. Traction is handled by a pair of Mickey Thompson 1000- 15 slicks, in-
flated to a low pressure of around six pounds per square inch. At the recent Orange County drags those slicks posed a few problems. On the first run during time trials, "Little Giant" pulled a five foot wheelie due to the slicks' excellent traction. When the front wheels came back down the hard landing bent the suspension. Repairs in the pits led to the second run where the valves floated, due to excessive wheelspin during the initial burnout. This resulted in two bent pushrods. After more repairs the Palomar hot rod squared off against a radically modified Volkswagen for the trophy run. Ironically, neither car was running well and "Little Giant" limped to the G gas victory with an elapsed time of 12. 88 seconds. According to Bertram repairs and modifications are quite frequent in drag racing. "We solve one thing and half a dozen others come up." Just recently a radiator was added to allow practice burnouts without overheating the engine. This procedure heats up the slicks for increased traction. Overhauls are also very common in this sport. The car's engine will be torn down and gone through about every five miles. "This is our third engine in two years," said Ber tram. "We wore out the first one and the second engine had a defective block. " The present engine is almost brand new, and the club is confident of continued success. Tomorrow's event will be the last competition for the car until after Christmas vacation.
Hoopsters host Phoenix In their first home win, Coach Andy Gilmour's basketball squad beat a poor MiraCosta team,ll3-65, in a rivalry that never developed.
Mark Rickabaugh 10.
The Comets jumped into a 14-4 lead and led at halftime 52-29. The locals play host to Phoenix tomorrow night at 8 p.m. in a tough non-conference game.
In an attempt to keep the score from reaching the 100 mark, Coach Gilmour played his bench almost the entire second half. The second unit displayed good unity and outscored the Spartans 61-39.
Gene Chaffin continues to be the Comets' leading scorer, picking up 17 points while grabbing 21 rebounds. Center Steve McRae also tallied 17 digits to share game-scoring honors with Gene.
Junior Colleges in Arizona do a tremendous amount of recruiting, and Phoenix is no different. Their big gun will be 6'8" center, Austin Martin, a freshman from Georgia.
Other Comets in double figures were Marty Bojorquez 15, Greg Price 12, Rich Favreau 12, John Duffy 10, and
Last year Palomar traveled toPhoenix . for two contests, dropping both by scores of 77-75 and 98-68.

Marty Bojorquez a key player to the Comet's winning year Under most circumstances a basketball coach with only two returning lettermen would not consider himself in a very favorable position. Yet Coach Andy Gilmour can be considered quite fortunate because his lettermen were starters on last year's second place team . One of the two returnees, both of whom are guards, is Marty Bojorquez who was voted by his teammates last year as the squads outstanding freshman. Marty led the Comets in scoring throughout most of the season, finishing third with a 13.5 average per game. Prepping at Fallbrook, Marty was an outstanding ball player, twice being named his school's most valuable player. He was also named to three all-tournament squads and gained second and first team all-league honors in his junior and senior years.
The sophmore guard has always been among the league's scoring leaders, finishing seventh and fifth in his varsity seasons in high school, and again with a fifteenth place finish last year at Palomar. "Marty had a fine freshman season last year and we expect him to be one of our top players again this year." said Coach Gilmour. "In his first two games this year he has found himself off to a slow start, but is a great competitor and will be coming around shortly." "I feel we have a very talented ball club," said Marty. "We've gottenoftoa slow start, but our Antelope Valley Tournament should help give us the unity we shared last year as a team. Marty's future plans include Humboldt State College, where he hopes to get his teaching credentials in history and physical education.
Cross country squad finishes winning season Coach Mike Curran's cross country team completed a very successful season, taking second place in the Mission Conference, while running all over much larger teams in the invitationals in which they participated. The season started just before the beginning of school when the members of the cross country team spent a weekend at Palomar Mountain. Each runner completed 30 miles of running in the two days they were there, building and conditioning their bodies for the season opener. The first taste of victory came at the Long Beach Invitational Cross Country meet at Long Beach. WilberWester, running with a cast on his wrist, placed second to lead the harriers to an overall second place finish and a trophy. For the first home meet, visiting Riverside City College was blitzed 15-50. Wester paced the rest of the field with a time of 21:52 and the Comets took the first seven places. Despite a tremendous effort by Wilber Wester, the Comets were unable to dethrone the powerful Grossmont Griffins cross country team. Wester won the race by a full 200 yards and set a new all-time course record of 20:58 for the Santee Lakes run. • From a winless 1969 season, Palomar came a long way as they defeated Southwestern and Chaffey to claim second place in the Conference. In the Mission Conference finals, Wester ran away from the field, as he did all season. He ran 20:59 for the 4.0 miles over Saddleback College's home course at Laguna Nigel Golf course, beating runner-up Steve Isreal of Grossmont by more than 30 seconds. One of the highlights of the season
came at the Santa Barbara Cross Country Invitational. The Comets added another second place finish, with Wester placing second with a time of 20:56. Palomar took five of twenty gold medals. Les McFadden was second for Palomar, eighth overall, followed by teammates John Simon, Jay Larkin, Ian Cumming, Bob Strutton, and Vaughn Lord. After the race the coaches voted for the "Most Outstanding Runner" in the Conference. The ballot was unanimous for Wester, since he was never defeated in dual meets. On November 20 at the Southern California Championships at Moorpark, Wester qualified for the state finals by taking sixth in a field of 200 runners. The top ten in this race ran in the State finals the next weekend. A cold and rainy day was the setting for the final race of the season. Wester was Palomar's lone runner in the State finals. The weather and the setting seemed to be too much for Wester as he placed eighteenth in the State. That is an honor to most runners, but to Wilber Wester, a winner, it was probably very disappointing.

Guard Mark Embrey accounted for a game high of seven assists.
''Phoenix always has good out-of-state people and our game with MiraCosta is not an indication of the game we will need to play against Phoenix" said Coach Gilmour In play over last weekend the Comets finished 2-2 in the Antelope Valley Tournament to take a fourth place. The Comets are now 3-5 on the season. In eight games Chaffin leads in both scoring and rebounding with ll6 and 87, respectively. McRae is second in scoring with 104 points, while Embrey has tallied 45 assists to lead in that category.
