Six crewmen from the attack aircmft carrier USS Constellation received sanctuary early Wednesday in Christ the King Catholic Church in San Diego in opposition to the carrier's seventh deployment to the waters off Vietnam . "We just didn't feel that we could live with this farce of a war," stated Scott Flanagan of San Diego who is ont of the six seamen. "It has been rejected by 70 per cent of the American people and we don't want any part of The Constellation was the object of a countywide straw poll two weeks ago in which of 54,000 responses, 45,000 felt that the carrier should stay hom e. Palomar voters stated by an overwhelming 6- 1 margi n that the attack carrier should stay home. Nonviolent Action, who conducted the poll, stated that the crewmen were in need of food and money, and a ll donations can be made at the church located at 32 nd and Imperi al in San Diego. Navy sources said Wednesday night that it has no pl ans to use force at this time to retrieve the AWOL seamen. Captain E. V. Lyons, Jr. chaplain of the 11th Naval District was assigne d to meet with the men and c hurch officials Wednesday night in order to work out a solution. "We have a moral obligation to grant sanctuary whenever it is requested," said Rev. James Gallus, pastor of the c hurch. "We did not solicit this action from the men but we are open to all who wish to come." Most Rev. John R. Quinn, auxiliary bishop of the San Diego Roman Catholic Diocese stated that Father Gallus granted the sanctuary to the men without asking for authority or receiving it. "The concept (sanctuary) does not app ly in the United States where church buildings do not have jurisdictional exemption from the civil laws .'' The crewmen said that they are willing to go to jail if necessar y rather than leave with the ship which is scheduled to depart for Vietnam this morning from the San Diego harbor. "We know we are doing the right thing euen though we are sure we will be tried and convicted for it," stated Jim Mike ll from Georgi a , another of the resisting c r ewmen. "We are willing to serve time for our beliefs." Campus sympathizers plan to set up a table in the Stud ent Union to collect donations and gather s upport for the men. The Constellation's scheduled departure at 8:30 this morning marks the seventh deploym e nt to the waters off the coast of Vietnam. The ship launched the first air attack and the last regular bombing mission over North Vietnam. Its planes also retaliated against the North Vietnamese gunboats in the a lleged Gulf of Tonkin incident which led to the bombing of North Vietnam. Planes launched from the Constellation have flown 10,583 combat and support missions against North Vietnam.

Bookstore earns three cents A heavy load of books and a light wallet appears to be the rule as students emerge from the Palomar College Bookstore. !\tore than 6000 students, new and old, ask the same question, "Where did my money go?"Twenty-five dollars-fifty dollars, wow! The bookstore must be making a mint!" "Not so," says Mrs. Virginia Dower, bookstore manager, "Granted that it is a lot of money, but we are barely ab le to make e nds meet. Would you believe that our profit, whi ch goes to student activities, is a mere three ce nts out of eve ry dollar?" S3,000 ,000 is s pe nt a nnuall y in the United States for te xtbooks according to the r ecent study of the textbook industry by the independent research copany, Ernst and Ernst. Net profits are limited to abou t 3'} for publishe r's stockholders and three ce nts on the gross dollar for Associated Student Government Activities. A student buying a te n dollar book, says the study, will have his mo ney distributed as follows: author's fee, $1.23: publishe r 's costs, 85 .97: bookstore operations, Sl. 70: taxes, $. 80 and ASG, S.30 Bookstore operations at Palomar College are keyed to provid e maximum service within the funds available.

APAD plans
dance concert Association of the Performing Artists of the Dance has announced its tentative plans for the current season. The purpose of this association is to increase and promote interest in dance as an art form among the students of Palomar and the community by providing them with the opportunity to see dance concerts produced and performed by the APAD. The association is designed to includ e any student at Palomar who has participated in producing previous dance concerts. Newly elected officers for this year are Kim Eckert, president; Carolee Kent, vice president;Linda Menne, vice president : Dan White, Secretary; Russel Gandee, treasurer; I. C. C. rep. ,Mary Vollmer; Lisa Dawson, publicity. Tentative plans for concerts this season include a Hawaiian program early in December, a major concert the last week of January, and several other dance activities on campus and in the community.
Students interested in r egistering to vote in national and local e lections may now do so daily between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m . in the Student Union. Dee Crumpton, Palomar student and deputy registrar of voters, explained that there is no I.D. r equired, but that knowing or having your Social Security number would be helpful. "With this system of computerizing, it is helpful to me morize your Social Security no.'' Miss Crumpton pointed out that "You can register if you're going to be 18 within the next 90 days . " An interesting sidelight is that an e lection can only be called for a date 90 days after the registration date . The next election coming up of interest to many local students is the Escondido High School District election on December 7. This means the registartion cut- off date is October 9. The regi strar then pointed out the different procedures involved in registering. First, registrants can be as sured that the information that they give is used only to identify them a nd nobod y else . Secondly, the address given has to be exact, so the voter can be put "in the proper district." After the affidavit is filled out, the r egistrar then fills out the office stub
and hands the stub to the new voter for signature. The registrant then receives a copy of the stub and the affidavit is then sent on to San Diego where the pe rson's name and number are put on a maili ng list to receive sample ballots for every election. The voter's copy should be saved because if the affidavit is lost in the mail the registrant' s number still makes him or he r an eligible voter. Finally, a few interesting statistics: Registrar Crumpton mentioned that any student with a felony conviction s hould call the Registrar of Voters to see if they are eligible to register. Statistically, s he mentioned that the registering is breaking down in this manner: 50% Democrat, 50% other (Republican, Peace and Freedom, La Raza Unida) with "only one or two non-partisan" (meaning no preference). Dee urges party affiliation because "it cuts down on your voting privileges " to register non-partisan. So far, in her first eight days of registeri ng, only 100 people (approximately) have registered. In case you cannot find her on duty, she says you can make an appointment with her by reaching her before or after her 8 a.m. speech c l ass in F-23.
'Sunrise' shown • • 1n film senes
New courses added to Industrial arts night curriculum
"Sunrise," one of the "perfected" silent films, will be shown in P-32 beginning October 5. Shot in 1927 by German director F.W . Murnau, the film stars Janet Gaynor George O'Brien and Margaret Livingston. Murnau's Germanic tradition is very much in evidence in "Sunrise," perhaps because Murnau brought with him his assistant director, scenarist, and scenic designer. A story of noble love versus evil, "Sunrise" suggests Murnau's mastery of composition and rhythm through decor, lighting, and came ra movement. "This film," says instructor Richard Peacock, " is one excellent example of the silent film in its perfected state . ~
