College notified of new five year accreditation Palomar College has again received full five - year accreditation, the maximum, in the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The accreditation assures that credits earned by Palomar students will be accepted by colleges and universities in the western states and generally in other states. Dr. Harry Wiser, executive secretary of the Western Association, notified Palomar officials of the favorable accreditation action. The extended accreditation was based on a detailed study of all phasesofPalomar academic and other operations, made by a nine-member accreditation team in October. This second full five-year accreditation received by the college under the administration of Dr. Frederick R. Huber, president is effective July I. "I was very pleased that they gave us the full five-year accreditation," stated Dr. Huber. "I was confident that we merited it, however, one can't always be absolutely sure that the team might not feel that there is some aspect or weakness present. "This approval ties in with the high records of the Palomar College graduates at four year institutions. The community itself can take pride in Palomar's achievements.' •

'Phaedra' tryouts begin tomorrow Tryouts for the Drama Department's production of Jean Racine's "Phaedra" will be held tomorrow and Thursday in room P33 from 3 to 5 p.m. Five female, fou r male roles and some extras will compose the cast. The story revolves around the central character of Phaedra who loves her stepson Hippolytus who in turn scorns her. Considered by many as possibly one of the greatest neo-classical versions, Lowell's translation, which will be used, is the best. Commenting on the play, the New York Times has reviewed It as, "The quintessence of French neoclassic theater." Critic Eric Bentley praised, "Perhaps the most civilized great tragedy ever written."

Palomar initiates new program for area high school dropouts A course designed especially for high school drop-outs in the area, open to students 15, 16 and 17 years old, will be inaugurated at Palomar College this month. The Planning and Conservation League will have an all day meeting at the UCSD School of Medicine in room 2100, Saturday, Feb. 20. Registration is at 9 a.m. with many speakers scheduled. The program consists of two basic courses in applied mathematics and drafting, and a course in "Communications in Human Relations and Industry.'' The instructors will be Warren Donahue, George Austin and Byron Gibbs. Donahue, in announcing the program said, "This is an experimental project by interested instructors, to see if we can do something for the high school drop-outs of the district. All the class routine s will be very flexible, with no regimented programs, no grading system, and with the students themselves to have a voice in what we do. Provision will be made for the students to study and progress at individual rates. Math students will learn to use the slide rule, desk calculator and surveyor's transit. The drafting class will include use of drafting instruments, blue print machine and duplicating equipment. Field work is to be a part of the study, including visits to engineering and industrial projects. "The intent of this experiment," Donahue said, "is to salvage students who are capable of holding suitable e mployment but who for some reason have become high school drop-outs. We will concentrate on learning to know the individual and will attempt to involve all students in the planning and structuring of c l ass activities. The student will receive c r edit towards a high school
diploma or towards a college program if he enrolls as a regular student when he becomes 17 and a half years of age. "Some of us here in Palomar," Donahue continued, "are convinced that there is a great need to provide suitable subject matter for the vocational-technical students and this program is an attempt to generate beginning solutions. We hope the program will expand into other areas of courses if this one proves successful." Donahue said prospective students may call for information, to his offfice at Palomar College, between ll a.m. and noon, or to the office of Continuing Education at the college.
