ACCREDITATION SET ·19 & 20 Final preparations for the visit of the accreditation committee on Oct. 19 and 20 were implemented last week when Dr. Fredrick R.

Bergman, Robert M. Woodward, and Robert L. Burton as well as assistant dean of instruction, Charles A. Coutts, Dwight H. Boehm, Ester W. Nesbin, and James G. Soules. Working from an extensive list these administrators will be gathering school publica~ tions, schedules, reports , minutes, budgets, plans, manuals, and other pertinent data. The collection will be filed in the new administrative conference room. The accreditation team will use the data for reference and documentation. The Abridged Application for Accreditation, compiled by Theodore Kilman, journalism instructor, was sent to the Western College Association recently, for examination prior to the visit of the accreditation team.

INTERNATIONAL TEA TOMORROW The annual International Tea will be given for the foreign students at Palomar. The tea, sponsored by the International Club, will be held at 3:00 - 5:00, October 6th, Wednesday, in the Student Union. , The purpose of this event is for foreign students to get acquainted with the student body, faculty and administration at Palomar. Invitations are sent out to the foreign students attending Palomar as well as the foreign students in the surrounding communities. 'REJECT BIBLE INTELLIGENTLY' Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship regional staffer Pat Jordan told the Christian Fellowship Club Wednesday noon that the Bible should be studied just like any other textbook. "Ask yourself three questions," Jordan said: "What does it say? What does it mean? What does it mean to me?" He added, "Then, if you want to reject it, you can at least do so intelligently." Jordan told the 29 students and visitors present that if we consider God as being at least human, we can reasonably expect him to reveal himself. This revelation would of necessity be verbal, he explained, since nature leaves · in doubt many basic factors of his personality. Jordan compared this to our becoming intimately acquainted with a painter by viewing his paintings. "We· tend to become what we think," the IVCF representative said. "In that sense, it depends a lot on whether you read "Playboy" or the Bible. If the Bible is read intelligently it offers a useful set of principles, approaches and attitudes for meeting lire. " Dick Norlin, faculty advisor, announced that at next Wednesday's meeting of the Christian Fellowship Club an election of officers will be held.

Blood bank recetves 33 pints Wednesday September 26, from 10:00 to 2:00, 33 donors gave their blood for the Palomar College Blood Reserve Fund. Twenty-seven students and sixof the college faculty gave their blood. ASB President, Glenn Bailey acted as Chairman of the fund and Josep-h Malik, Director of Student Activities acted as Cochairman. Malik stated that any person who was unable to donate his blood at the time of the drawing could have it done outside the school. Any county hospital will take your blood to credit to the Palomar College Blood Reserve Fund. The Blood Bank was set up last year by the ASB Council. This fund will make it possible for students and faculty and their immediate families to receive free blood in case of an emergency. After a student leaves Palomar College he will be able to receive blood as long as the Blood Bank exsists. His family will no longer be eligible. Although the release of blood
is limited to persons associated with Palomar College, there are hopes that it will be extended tc other persons. If a large eno J·. reserve is attained it will make it possible for persons in need outside of the college to receive blood.
