Proposition 1gets Board approval
by Leeayn Chapman How do you drop from the top to the bottom in one easy s tep? Just ask the San Bernardino Valley Coll ('ge football team. They learned the hard way. Mission Confe r ence Commissioner Me l Ross stated that SBVC violated one of the state athletic codes dealing with scrimmages and they pla¥ed two too Therefore, all games played m any. by San Berdoo will not count in the standings and they will not be e ligible for state play offs.
P r oposition 1 on the Novembe r 7 election ballot, to autho ri ze a $160 million bond issue to provide matching. funds for community college construction projects, has been given a una nimous vote of endorsement by the governing board of Palomar College. The board voted its support of the proposal at a meeting last Tuesday. The bond issue would provid e funds for classrooms and other teac hing facilities for an estim ated 80,000 add itional students over the next three years at the state's 95 commun ity colleges in 68 local college districts. Palomar Co llege, with an enrollment increase this year of about 16 per cent i n all divisions, is growing at a considerably more r apid r ate than the state average of about five per cent, a college spokesman said. The California Junior Co llege Association has pointed out that the ballot proposal will be for general obligation bonds of the state, "the leas t expen-
The Indians were undefeated in conference pl ay. Palomar will be traveling to SBVC thi s Saturday fo llowing another victory, thi s tim e over San Diego City College . This 35-26 win gave the local gridders a 4-1 conference record, making their chances at a title better than ever. Southwestern curre ntl y is in first place with 4-0, Citrus is in second wi th 4-0-1, and Saddleback a nd Palomar are tied for third. Comets score In action last Saturday, it took a lmost the whole first quarter for the Comets to scor e. Palomar's John Thom pson r eturn ed an SDCC punt all the way to the Knights' 26 to set up the touchdown. Quar terback Ron Coppess then we nt to the ai r connecting with Mark Leszczynski on a sho rt pass to the 12. After three plays netted eight yards, Coppess gave it to Simunec who scampered ove r the goal line. Doug Haynes' kick was good. P alom a r 's second TD was set up two plays into the second quarter when SDCC quarterback Mike Spooner's pass was intercepted by Raul Figueroa on the PC 49. Offense gains steaa u y Coppess came in to hand-off to Jack Thoreson for a yard, the same to Les zczynski for 13 and a first down on the 37 . After two plays gained to the 31, Coppess connected with Mike Hayes 16 yards downfield to place the pigskin on the 15. After two yards were gained, Coppess connec ted with Ed Kristensen on the Knights' 3 to make it a first and gofll . On the next play Thoreson cras hed over for six points. Haynes ' kick was no good, leaving the score 13-0. T he local s increased their lead nine p lays later. Leszczynski carried the kick- off 40 yards up field to the P alomar 42. Coppess ' hand-off to Thoreson resulted in a yard loss, but a pitch- out to Leszczynski gained 18 to put the ball on the SDCC 41. Leszczynski took the ball aga in e ight yards to the 33. A hand-off to Simu nec picked up two, and the same to Leszczynski agai n for a gain of 13 . Coppess went to Leszczynski once more, but los t two yards and hi s pass on the next pl ay fell incomplete. Iacuani e llo gets 16 Ken Iacuani e llo came in to pick up 16 yards for the Comets and place the ball on the four- yard line. A Coppess hand - off to Leszczynski accounted for the TD. The two-point conversio n attempt was fumbl ed behind the line of scrimmage. Thi s was the l ast Comet score in the half. Another Comet touchdown came only a few minutes a fter the second half opened and San Diego City had possession of the ball on the 20-yard line on a touc hback fr om a Coppess punt. The Knights fumbled and George Allen r ecovered for the locals on the SDCC 21. Coppess ran the ke eper for five yards, then hand ed off to Leszczynski who scrambled e ight yards . Running back Si munec took the hand-off from Coppess for the eight yard touchdown run. This time the two-point conversion was good as Coppess hit Kristensen be h ind the goal line . PC increases ma rgin Another series later. the Comets bettered their margin as they scored thei r last TD. This was set up when Thompson brought a San Diego punt to the Palomar 39. On the fir s t play, Coppess hand ed off t o Simunec for a 13 yard gain. Iacuaniello picked up 14 yards on the r evers e , the n Thoreson took it s ix more to the 28. Coppess gave it to Le s zczynski again for a four yard gain and a first down. After an incomple te pass, Thoreson gained anothe r six yards on a hand off, then picked up five on a screen to place t he ball on the 13. Leszczynski got his second scor e for the night when he took the pitch out fr om Coppess and ran 13 yards. The two-point conversion was good a gain on another pitch out, this time to Sim unec · Almost a full quarter later San Diego s cored twice in a row without the Come ts having posses s ion.

Geology students visit San Andreas Fault areas Geology students will visit the San Andreas Fault and the Mohave Desert beginning November 3. T he trip is designed to investigate part of the San Andreas rift zone and geological interes t in the Mohave Desert. Two days will be s pe nt mapping the fault between Cajon Pass and Wrightwood, a resort community in the San Gabrial Mountains north of San Bernardino . Another day will be spent observing the Ra inbow Basin near Barstow, an area of folded a nd faulted sedimentary rocks. The installation of a seismograph las t spring at Palomar has enabled geology students to observe the patte rns of earthquakes all over the wo rld, par ti cularly alone the San Andreas fau lt. Study along the fault should give students better insight to future earthquake phe nome na.

Rights of farm workers taken up by initiative Should farm worke rs ha ve the right to strike at harvest time? Should they be allowed to boycott s tores whe re farm products are sold during a labor pispute? Labor says yes to both ques tions , and farm owne r s say no. On Novembe r 7 the California vote r will give hi s answers. Proposition 22 proposes the establis hm e nt of an Agricultural Labor Relations Board, which would supe rvise collective bargaining between farm employe r s and e mployees . The initiative would make unlawful s uch acts as picketing r e tail s tores, intimid a tion of worke r s by owners or unions , preventing collective bargaining, threats against consumers, s triking after the produce leaves the farm or processing plant, and using general terms--like " iceberg le ttuce" --in try¡tng to promote cons um er boycotts. Therefore the following question faces the voter--should the s tatutes be amended to r equire and regulate c ollective bargaining in California ' s agricultural industry ? Arguments for: 1. Agri culture is the only s ignificant part of our econom y which does not have a law s pe lling out the rights and duties of worke rs, employe rs and the public. 2. Strikes and boycotts of agricultural products hit hard a t California's economy. 3. The m easure will he lp to insure the uninterrupted produc tion of food and food produc ts at prices which are not inflated by food s hortages r esulting from strife between farmers and farmworkers unions. 4. Proposit1on 22 gives employees the right to organize and bargain collectively without employe r interfe r ence, while giving employe rs the right to manage their farms. 5. T\le ri ght of farm workers to choose their union is protec ted by the secret ballot, the traditional a nd constitutional way of hol ding an e lection. The right to strike and boycott 6. would be protected. A 60-day waiting pe riod could be r equired upon r equest to pre tect the publi c a nd allow opportunity for the dispute to be settled peac efull y through conciliation. Arguments against: 1. Proposition 22 severely restricts

and in s om e cases takes away the rights of farm worke rs to e lec t their r epresentatives and exe rcise the ir rights of protes t, through r es trictions on types of s trikes and voting privileges, and prohibiting s trikes during the mediation pe riod. 2. Mos t large growe rs employ only This act a few permane nt workers. would take away the vo te of most seasonal a nd migr ant workers because it limits seasonal and migrant workers e ligi ble to vote in r epresentation elections to the equ ivale nt num ber of permane nt workers . 3. T he use of only written secret ballots makes it difficu lt for many farm workers to vote due to problems of literacy and language. 4. Management' s right to choose methods, e quipment and fac iliti es for production of crops will r esult in the mechaniz ation of agriculture and the loss of jobs for the workers. 5. This act is more restr ic tive than the National Labor Re l ations Ac t (which controls collec tive bar gaining in other industries. )
Democ r atic National Committee headquarters symptom atic of an em erging Orwelli an nightm are? Has the Nixon admi ni stration sold out to big business? And what of the Se nator from South Dakota? Will hi s econom ic proposals bankrupt the economy? Do the Eagleto n fiasco and the ''refining' ' of the proposals of the prima ri es portend a pres idency based on vac illation? Will McGove rn, by r educing the m ilitary budge t , diminish the diplomatic fl exibility of the U. S. ? Invite agression? Pave the road to war? The questions ar e , of course, loaded . The r e a r e few s imple a nswe rs. But r emove the vituperation and the inflated promises and four facts a r e clear: 1. The candidates vyi ng for the Preside ncy differ widely in id eology and outlook. The pote ntial voter cannot s it this one out on the grounds that the c hoice is between Tweedl e Dum and Tweedle Dee. 2. The new voter who refuses to cas t a ball ot is s hirking the responsibility which he claimed he dese rved. To r efuse to vote or to vote casually is to solicit the disgust of those who demanded the 18 year old vote . It is als o to invite the s muggest "I told you so" in hi s tory from the cynics and the sceptics. 3. 1;he college student cannot chose to r emain unaffec ted by the direction of national leadership. If the Preside nt of the United States chooses to tole rate unemployme nt and unde r employment, for example, the Ph.D. of today will continue to be the cab drive r of tomo rrow, and students with B. S.' s and B.A.'s willcontinue to pour into secretarial pools and factori es. 4. The es tablis hme nt-liste ns to numbers. His tory wlll r ecord that the young rose up from the colle ge campuses in sear c h of a l eader to e nd a war they judged immoral. History s hould record that the young also managed to sensitize the nation to the need fo r ecological bal ance, population control, equal rights for minorities . By r efus ing to vote , the s tud ent invites ina tte ntion and guarantees tha t the inte r ests of the young will not be served . The m essage is c lear. An important choice must he mad e. Those who use the ballot November 7 will participate in maki ng it.
Proposition attempts to answer question of coastline protection Propone nts of Propos ition 20, the Coas tline Initiative, s tate tha t the meas ure will ''save our coas t.'' On the other hand , opponents of the measure claim that "confiscation , not conservation" will be the result of the proposition. But both s ides agree that the fate of the Californi a coas tline hangs on the fate of the propos ition on e lec tion day. If passed, Proposition 20 would set up the Californi a Coastal Zone Conservation Commission. This commission would have the job of prepa ring, in the words of the initiative, a ''comprehensive, coord inated, e nforceable plan for the orderly , long-range conservation and m anageme nt of the natural resou r ces of the coastal zone. " In addition to the state commission, s ix regiona l commissions would be c r eated. Each would be m ade up of equal numbers of locally elected officials and c itizens r epresenting the public , and each would have much the same job as the state commission , only on a smalle r, more locali zed scale. Arguments for: 1. Nearly two-third s of California's 1100 mile coastline is a lready privately owned, and of what r emains, only 250 miles a r e us able as rec r eation beaches to s e rve two million Californians (75 ,000 pe r mile). 2. The pre sent coas ta l plan is frag-
m ented among 45 cities, 15 counties and dozens of gove rnme nt age nc ies . These age ncies are without the r esources to evaluate and prevent developme nts whose destructive effec ts may overlap local boundaries. 3. It is important to note that Proposition 20 will not impose a moratorium on developme nt. Ins tead , it will insu r e that authori zed construction will have no adve rs e e nvironme ntal effects. In addition, the ac t may be amend ed by the State Legisl ature if s uch action is necessar y. Argum ents against: 1. The initiative infringes on the rights of pe rsons to do with the ir private property as they wis h, and it would take priva te property without compensating the owner. 2. Proposition 20 locks up the beaches from the public for new r ec r eational and r es id ential use--while providing a wi ndfa ll to those favored few who a r e now fortunate enough to own beachfront hom es in exclusive ar eas. 3. Proposition 20 would create unemployment problems of major proportions in the coastal areas affected. The proposition is unnecessary because local gove rnment can do the job of wise and c omprehensive coastal planning and it is unnecess ary to turn this job over to a new state bureaucracy,

Proposition 21 proposes general limitations on forced integration Proposition 21, the Stud ent School Ass ignment Initiative , would add the to Education Code a sec tion stating "No public school student shall, because of r ace , cree d or color, be assigned to or be r equired to attend- a particular school. The initiative would also repeal the Bagley Act (AB 724) which is designed to deal with the problems of segregated schools . Argumen ts for: 1. This m eaure will pres e rve the right of parents to choose the atmosphere

redudion of tax If you would like to "cut taxes, " according to the billboards, you should vote "yes" on Proposition 14, the Watson Tax Initi a ti ve . On the other hand , bumpe r s tickers will urge you to vote "No on Taxes" by he lping defeat Proposition 14 at the polls. Proposition 14 was drawn up to place a limit on state prope rty taxes . But in order to r eplace s ome of the revenue which would be lost through a prope rty tax cut, the m easure would also raise the s tate sales , cigarette and hard liquor taxes . The initiative would als o s hift the costs of welfare, Medi-Cal se rvices , While it a nd education to the s tate. would provide certain funds for elementary and second a r y education, it m akes no provis ions to replace the revenue whic h would be lost by the California Communi ty College Sys tem , which inc ludes Palomar. Arguments for: 1. The State Legislature has continually failed to pass tax r eform legisla tion. Meanwhile, California has attained one of the highes t property tax per pe r s on r ates of any s tate . 2. The initiative would take effect slowly, giving cities, counties and spec ial districts four year s to adjus t to the new provisions. Thus the necessary c hange s and adjustme nts could be made s lowly over a period of time . Arguments against: 1. Proposition 14 would cause the sales tax to go up 40 pe r cent, and other cons ume r taxes to rise as much as 100 pe r cent. Howeve r, there will still be a $372 milli_on loss in reve nue to the s tate. 2. Large landholders and r eal estate interests wiil benefit most from this initiative, because their property taxes will decrease enormously. Low and mod e r ate income families, who are not prope rty owners, will be hurt financially as they will receive no tax relief but will have to pay highe r consumer taxes .
of the school by sending the ir children to ne ighborhood schools . 2. Legislation which forces reassignm e nt of stude nts to achieve racial bala nce viola tes the basic rights of school children and will ultimate ly destroy the public school system. Argum ents against: 1. Passage of this proposition could not stop a nd probably would encourage fed e ral court-ordered busing. 2. The Bagley Act, which provides a cons tructive alternative to sporadic court action, would be repealed . The proposition would freeze all methods of e nding segregated schools, including the redrawing of school district boundaries which now promote racial segregation. ¡3. The first portion of the initiative contains l anguage which has al ready bee n decl a r ed unconstitutional by a unanimous decision of the United States Supreme Court. 4. Racial balance should not be a legal m and ate of the Le.g islature.
'19' aims at refonn of mariiuana laws Should the state l aw be changed removing criminal penalties for the cultivation, processing and transportation of marijuana for personal use? The law would still state positive prohibition of the sale of marijuana and still would prohibit endange ring othe rs while under the influence of pot. Proposition 19 on the California ballot s tates that no adult (18 and over) will be criminally punished for growing, trans porting or possessing marijuana, however no sales will be permitted. Arguments for: 1. If cultivation of m a rijuana is allowed it would be unnecessa ry to buy marijuana illegally. ~The present law states that possession of marijuana is a fe lony and a first offense can get as much as ten years. This would make felons of tens of thousands of people who have smoked marijuana. 3. Courts are overcrowded and clogged with marijuana offende rs, costing taxpayers millions of dollars . Arguments against: 1. Doctors and researchers have not fully realized the effects of marijuana. Never before has a government agency wanted to legalize a drug before its effects were known. 2. Marijuana le ads to harder drugs. A study showed that 95 per cent of heroin addicts began by smoking marijuana. 3. No civilized nation in the world permits the sale or use of mar ijuana.
