'HIGH GRADE' PUPPY- Pam Martin scored the highest grade on one of Dr. Archer's regular Political Science I tests, and won a Golden Retriever puppy for her achievement. Dr. Archer opened the contest to all five of his Political Science I classes in an effort to encourage studying, and many students did study twice as much. Dr. Archer raises Golden Retriever dogs and sells them for $125 each.

Proposition 1 is the State School Building Lease-Purchase Law of 1976. It would authorize the state to issue $200 II!illion in general obligation bonds for a new lease-purchase school building program. The measure would enable school districts to replace or modernize school buildings over 30 years old. Proponents say that Proposition 1 would be less complicated and costly to school districts.
***
Proposition 2 is the Veterans Bond Act of 1976. It would authorize the state to issue $500 million in general obligation bonds to con-
tinue the Veterans Farm and Home Loan program.
***
Proposition 3 is the California Safe Drinking Water Bond Law of 1976. It would provide for the sale of $175 million in general obligation bonds to provide loans to domestic water suppliers to improve substandard systems. Proponents argue that the program will be selfsupporting.
***
Proposition 5 would amend the Constitution to reduce the twothirds vote to a majority to change taxes on banks, corporations and insurance companies. Proponents argue that the measure will protect special interests and shift a larger share of taxation onto individuals and unincorporated businesses.
***
Proposition 6 would amend the Constitution to eliminate the property tax deduction that insurance companies claim for their home or principal office. Prolxments argue that the measure would increase state revenue by $23 million annually. _Opponents argue that the repeal would retard the growth of the insurance industry.

Support KSM Palomar College is fortunate to have so many learning facilities available to students. We are even more fortunate when the products of those learning facilities may be used to benefit the rest of the student body. Two examples ofthese "facilities" are The Telescope and now KSM, the campus radio station. It was through many years of effort that KSM even became a reality, and it seems that the station we fought for is succeeding. KSM has been on the air for more than a month, and will continue to broadcast during the summer session and again next semester. In the relatively near future, we may even be able to hear KSM on our AM radio dials, eliminating the Student Union speakers. KSM has been responsive to the students through the "KSM Feedback Box" in the Student Union, and has tried to comply with the requests. Why, then, must some students resort to im.m ature acts to get their way? We realize that the song or type of music you want to hear may not be played enough to suit you, but turning on the jukebox in the middle of a broadcast is not the way to let people know about it. The staff of KSM has no wish to be an imposition to the students, which is why they are willing to listen to your wishes and do their best to comply with them. Now that we've got our radio station, let's accept and respect it as a good part of our college. KSM will also be broadcasting during the summer session. Dana Hawkes, summer adviser, urges students who are interested in working on the station to sign upforTC99. Thefirstclassmeeting will be on Tuesday, July 6, in room Q-4 at 1:30 p.m.

Philosophers contemplate mysteries of the universe @)f ~@(j'~ @!i'@~~ Gene Sager (known to his friends as Gene Sager) and I once planned a humor book on philosophy. The plan went under when I realized I had more important things to do, such as counting how many times Jerry Brown says, "A new generation ofleadership." But anyway, the idea still seems workable and may be even worthwhile. What could be better on a rainy evening than to glance through our book, gaining philosophical insights and a few chuckles besides? Well, maybe a few things. Just think of it - the vast parade of the world's great thinkers: Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Camus, Art Linkletter, all sharing the secrets of the universe - in your living room! (Better watch Nietzsche, though, his moustache smells.) Our book would accomplish many things. It would get people interested in philosophy. It would provide answers to mankind's most preBBing problems (such as where to get its pants pressed). It would make a great paperweight. It would also make a little money. The mind boggles! Excuse me, I have to go to my psychiatrist to get my mind unboggled. Back in a flash. FLASH! Well, I'm back. Where were we, anyway? Oh, I remember. Something about a philosophy book. To continue, it might be a good idea to let you know where I stand philosophically.
***
I once approached a holy man atop a peak in the Himalayas.
"Oh holy man," I said, "What is the secret of Life?" His answer was cryptic but illuminating. He said, "What?" Shaken by the implications of his remark, I decided to start a philosophy that would combine the best features of existentialism, hard determinism, soft determinism, the Categorical Imperative, and needlepoint. These are my beliefs: I think, therefore I'm not. (Nobody said philosophy was easy.) Man can never be happy, but the monkeys in the San Diego Zoo are having a pretty good time. Materialism will get you nowhere, except rich. Man is essentially religious, which explains the popularity of gold-plated guitar picks. If God is good, why isn't "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" funnier?
three sections for easy reference: Early Philosophy, Middle Philosophy, and Late Philosophy. To make our book different from the run of the Mill philosophy text, we plan to use' a centerfold, perhaps one of Nietzsche seductively drooling into his moustache. We are not using page numbers, a bibliography, or an index, because life is meaningless anyway. Maybe if we put our shoulders to the wheel, we'll wind up with sore shoulders, and a pretty good philosophy book. That's our idea for Tricentennial. Where's yours?

To the Editor: For the last couple of months, I have been reading The Telescope and noticed that a great amount of valuable information has not been published. I speak mainly about our Music Department.
As you can see, my philosophy is very complex. It would probably take a genius to figure the above aphorisms for what they are - cries for help. But anyway, the philosophy business marches on, with or without my help. Or cries. But I still think Gene and I will do our book. Moron that in the next few paragraphs. One thing that has kept us from doing the book has been choosing a suitable title. Gene likes Critique of Pure Reason. Fortunately for me, that title has already been used. I favor a title that will give us a number-one bestseller, How to Win Friends and Intimidate Lincoln's Doctor's Dog with a CB Radio. Our book is divided into

I realize it's a little late for The Telescope to reform this semester, but what about the fall semester? Our Music Department plays a very important part in our school. Whether we be at home and especially if we're away from home. Speaking f.or myself, I'm very proud to be involved with our Music Department and want others to know about it too! Thank You, Barbara A James

Proposition 4 seeks college funding "Bonds to Provide Public Community College Facilities" is what Proposition 4 on the June ballot is all about. The act provides for a bond issue of $150,000,000 to enable the state to continue meeting its commitments to provide 50o/o of community college construction costs on a statewide basis. The balance of the funds are provided by local community college districts and the federal government, based on a specific formula which provides that (1) in the event
federal money is available it is used before a state-local sharing formula is applied, and that (2) the state's share may range from 0% to 100o/o depending upon the local community college district's needs and its ability to pay. It is estimated that by July 1976 there will remain only $1,5 million of the $160 million in capital outlay bonds approved by the voters in November 1972. This fund, when combined with money provided by local districts and the federal

deposit public funds in savings and loan -associations as well as banks. Proponents assert that state funds could be increased because of higher interest rates. Opponents say that any increase would be limited because government deposits are short term.
*** Proposition 9 would legalize bingo games for charitable organizations. It would impose conditions under which the games would be operated. It would limit the value of prizes to $250 as well as prohibit minors from participating. Proponents argue that the present prohibition ofbingo is unenforcable.
***
Proposition 10 would authorize the legislature to refinance outstanding bonds without referring the refunding bonds to a vote of the people. Proponents argue that the measure would allow greater flexibility in the management of the state's fiscal resources.
***
Proposition 11 would amend the constitution to permit local
governments to use excess land from street and road projects for parks without repaying the local road fund. Proponents argue that the proposition would allow local governments to acquire parks and green spaces without added cost to the taxpayer.
***
Proposition 12 would allow nonexempt lenders to charge an interest rate over 10 per cent on business loans. Proponents argue that the amendment would put a more realistic ceiling on business loan interest rates and bring California in line with other states.
***
Proposition 13 would authorize the legislature to allow low income people 62 years of age or over to postpone payment of property taxes. Proponents argue that the measure is self-supporting.
government, amounted to approximately $243 million. The proposition continues State of California assistance to local community colleges to fund buildings related to their growth requirements. If the bond act is approved, approximately $300 million, which would include funds to be spent under the traditional sharing formula, would be fully committed to authorized community outlay projects by July 1, 1978 subject to an annual review and project approval by the Legislature and Governor in the regular state budgeting process. The total interest cost, based on past experience, will be approximately $94.5 million assuming an average 6% interest rate. It is generally conceded that continuing support of community college growth facilities is necessary. Those favoring the proposition urge support of the bill to protect homeowners from excessive increases in property taxes for capital construction, with the greatest increase in areas where there has been the greatest expansion. If the bill is defeated community college construction and programs would be seriously curtailed. Those opposing the bill contend that funds from other sources should be utilized on a pay-as-you-go basis, especially current "surplus"
reserves in the Capital Outlay Fund for Public High Edu cation (COFPHE). This is actually a fund for the University of California and the State University and Colleges. It was invaded in 1975 because the Community College Fund was exhausted. It is proposed that construction for community colleges be included in future budgets as part of the COFPHE Fund.
