Southwestern next
Foe for gridders By TOM CHADWICK Palomar, looking to rebound from a 16-0 loss to MiraCosta last Saturday night, will take on Southwestern College this Sat u r day evening on Escondido High's Memorial Field. The Comets will face a good passing combination in the persons of quarterback Frank Fernandez and all Pacific Southwest Conference choice at end Dave Gray. This combination recently netted by itself a total of 120 yards passing in one game. The Apaches also have one of the conferences leading break away threats in their backfield with 9. 7 second speedster Charlie Stanford. The game may shape up as a passing duel between Fernandez and Palomar's Jerry Montiel. The Southwestern squad has a 4-2 won lose record over-all and are 2-2 in conference play. Southwestern's victories have come at the expense of Chaffy 13-8, Riverside 18-7, Imperial Valey 40-11, and Mira Costa 35-14. Their loses have come at the hands of G-ossmont 21-13 and San Diego City 25-6. The Apaches are a good squad but a lack of depth has been a factor they have had to over come. The game should prove to be a thriller and everyone is urged to attend.

Mottroe Palomar's Intramural Sports Program, under the leadership of Coach Joe Brennan, will again this year offer students an opportunity to participate in team and individual athletics. Last semester a great number of students were involved in the program. Three sports are currently being planned for the noon hour games in the imediate future. Two basketball leagues, an "all-comers" cross country meet (Comet cross country team members barred), and badminton for the women students are the anticipated events. Brennan hopes that the campus clubs Will field basketball squads to form one league. The other would be open to any interested students. Tentatively, two games will be played ln the dome at the same time and the teams would be made up of five players. It is still undecided whether the games will be played on two or four days a week. The.sport is set to start on Monday, November 1, the Monday after and continue all semester on a 11 round robin'' basis. · Further announcements will be made. Brennan has indicated that Jim Adkins and Dave Funderburk, top performers on hls cross country squad, would act as co-officials for the 3. 7 mile cross country race. A trophy is planned to be given to the' winner, with second and third place finishers presentedwithmedals. November 16 or 18 is the current date for the meet. Ethel Calderwood is responsible for the women's badminton program.

Brennan is not only concerned with the intramural program; he is connected with almost every sport at Palomar. Besides instructing classes, he's the cross country and basketball coach. He was track coach last semester, but probably won't be this year. He is also an assistant football coach, in charge of scouting. Currently Brennan is spending a lot of time on two basketball projects (besides getting the team into shape). The first is the Third Annual Palomar College Basketball Clynic set for this Saturday. The event, open to th~ public but calibrated to coaches, features four excellent speakers. Registration takes place from 8:00 to 8:30 a.m. and the clynic is over at 4:00 p.m. A lunch will be served. Anyone interested in attending should see Brennan. The top-notch speakers are Jack Holley of Imperial Valley College speaking on "Switching Defenses," Chuck Rielly of Beverly Hills High School with "Offensive Trends," Ed Gregory of Fresno State College discusses "Press Offense," and Jerry Tarkanian of Riverside City College with "Zone-Press Defense." · The second event is the Palomar College seventh Annual Invitational Basketball Tournament, which is scheduled for December 1-4 and highlites Palomar's basketball campaign. Twelve junior colleges are entered in the tourney. They are Allan Hancock, Citrus, Coalgna, Fullerton, Grossmont, Palomar, Mira Coata, Riverside, San Diego City, Mesa, Southwestern, and Ventura colleges.
Comets lose Homecoming By GLEN BAILEY Saturday night in Vista High's tiny, dimly lit stadium, 4500 homecoming fans witnessed the biggest debacle of Palomar's '65 grid season. The unbelievable Comets ruined what was perhaps the most suc"cessful campaign in the school's history, dropping a 16-0 decision to under-rated, arch rival Mira Costa. Once again it wasn't a matter ofwhich was the better team, but simply which squad wanted to win the most. The Spartans played the· locals right off the grid iron in what was perhaps the most inspired game in Mira Costa's history. It was Palomar's poorest showing on the year. What happened to the rugged aggressiveness that the Comets displayed in their first three games? Compared to previous encounters, Saturday's game had less punch than rag doll. True, the Palomar bench was cluttered with injured players, but the Comets stm·played like marshmaHow . on legs. The performance of the defense was way below par, and the offense sputtered frequently but just wouldn't ignite.

Cagers work out BY TOM CHADWICK Five returning lettermen, led by AllPacific Southwest Conference forward Chris Stanley, were on hand as Coach Joe Brennan launched basketball drills last Friday. Stanley who was number two in rebounds last" year and a top scorer in the conference stands six feet four inches. Other returning letter winners include guard Bill Garrison, forward Jim Cravens, guard Bob Irwin and forward Wayne Pitcher. Brennan will recieve a short but sharpshooting group of freshmen, including Escondido's all-time high scorer Bill Carson ang four players from San Diei{Uito's SD0IF ClassA Champions . Former Mustangs are forward Leroy Puttman, guard Ron Blickenstaff, guard Tom Hernandes and forward Harold Jensen. From Escondido are forward-guard Buster Kidd, and forward Darrell Davis from Escondido's teamof two years ago. Tom Heckendorn is the best of five frosh from Vista. Others include guard Hank Tenny, forward-guard Dale Whaley, guard Rod Plew and guard Steve Castanada. Also working out are forward-center Steve Preston and forward Gordon Stamps from RoItlona, transfer forward Walt Berry, guard Wayne Harmon from New Hampshire, buard Rich Wagner from Pennsylvania, .guare ChaAes Younn from the Phillipines and forward-center Greg Simms from Fallbrook. Palomar will open play November 26 with Long Beach City College. Highlights of the season include the seventh annual Palomar tournament and a home game with Lew Aleindor and the U.C.L.A. frosh.
Harrier5 lose By GARY SHOEMAKE Bob Lamorandiea of Grossmont set a new Palomar 3. 7 mile course record as he led his team to victory. Lamorandiea, possibly the best JC harrier in the state, toured the ·course in 19:53.0. Grossmont is tabed to be state champ. ·' · C'omet ·cross colttitry runners lost twice last Friday in a rare double duel meet. Palomar dropped the conference match to league leader Grossmont 16-40 and was barely nipped 27-28 by non conference Antelope Valley College. Griffins grabed the first four places before Dave Funderburk finished. They then placed 6, 7, and 8 before Comet Jim Adkins came off the hill. Though P a 1 o m a r runners placed first and second against Antelope Valley, but they were hurt by lack of depth and came up short on points. Palomar has a smaller team than any other squad it has faced. Palomar now has an 0-3 conference reading, the chances in future meets are equally dismal. Today the Harriers are host to Riverside City College. The Comet's rough course may prove too much for the visiters in the recent 100 degree heat. Whatever the weather the squad looks for a tough contest. This Friday the team makes a long road trip to the Mt. SAC Invitational Meet. Most of the schools in Southern California will send their strongest members. P a 1om a r, riddeled with minor injuries will have trouble fielding the necessary seven men.

Area schools attend planetarium shows by PENNY HILL
Nearly 150 junior high school students from San Marcos visited the Palomar planetarium last Tuesday. The students came as part of a school program offered by Palomar to all students from fifth grade through high school and college. Students from San Dieguito, Poway, Valley Center, Army-Navy, Julian, Oceanside, Fallbrook, Escondido, Carlsbad, San Marcos, and even the Marines, during summer school, , have come to the planetarium showings. About 70 to 80 come each trip on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The shows are given at the audience's convenience and last ·about forty-five minutes. A question and answer session follows the showing. During the show, there are rocket trips and surprise events for the children. Charles A. Coutts is the director of the , program and Joseph P. Willis, astronomy instructor, is his assistant. Willis sald that the school program has been ln operation since March 19,1965 and that approximately 4,000 students have come to the showings since then. He stated that in the spring they are overloaded but that in the fall most of the schools aren't ready for field trips yet. Some schools have already made appointments for spring. Willis explained that two or three more people are needed to help because the work is more than they anticipated. •we didn't realize the response would be as great as it was. We were really overwhelmed," Willis commented. The showings are designed to fit the age level of students that are atteQ~ing. Reservations for a showing should be made two weeks in advance so that the director~ can make up the presentation. The programs that are offered are, No. 1-"The Circumpolar Constellation's," No. 2-"The Sun and Its Family," No. 3--"The Constellations of Spring," No. 4--"The Constellations of Fall and Winter," No. 5-- •The Life History of a Star," No. 6--"Time and the Calendar," No. 7--"T o o 1 s of the Astronmer," No. 8--•A Trip to the Moon and the Planets," No. 9--"Man In Space," No. 10-"A Trip to the South Pole," No.ll--"Circles in the Sky," No. 12--"LifeonOtherworlds." Additional information about the showings may be obtained from Coutt~::~' office.
Area 1 resolutions Area 1 Conference was held October 15, at Grossmont Junior College. Sixteen Palomar students attended the conference. There where six different workshops represented at the conference. The purpose of the workshops was to reveiw and pass resolutiohs to be presented at the state convention in November in Sacramento. The workshops included a President's Workshop, Collegiate Attitudes, Campus Activities, Communications, Campus Organization, and Student Government. Several resoultions were passed to be presented to the convention in November. It was resolved that Area 1 endorse election; occuring on two consecutive week days. Other resoultions were: to have the minutes sent two weeks after the last meeting and two weeks before next meeting; that the college hosting the area conference s.end out complete plans covering the conference at least two weeks in advance; that area one go on record as being in favor of Student-Administration-Faculty Committees in areas ofmu~ual concern; that the California Jr. College Student Government Association request the legislature of the state of California be further petitioned by the CJCSGA to initiate necessary action to have directional signs on state thoroughfares designating the locations of junior colleges; that there be a standardized grade point average conf'lerning probation, for junior colleges across the state; and that Area 1 support legislation at the State Conference which will re-

The most logical approach to student government and politics is to . develop what we presently have; how it has evolved, and what responsib1lities and objectives it embraces. Admittedly, this is quite a broad topic as it includes not only the Associated Students' Executive Council, but numerous standing committees, administrative policies and regulations, and the underlying influences and powers. The framework of student government is outlined and chartered in Sect. 10701 of the Education Code, "subject to the control and regulation of the governing board . . . " The resulting system at Palomar is an Executive Council enjoying a substanial compatability with, and autonomy from, the' Board and · Administration. Within the past twelve years there has not been one instance in which reprimand or subjugation to control has been necessary. The Executive Council has remained within its .bounds; · the Board has watched with confidence. But this is not to say that everything is oopacetio. The Executive Council has never made stands in matters of controversy. For example, the issue of speaker policies on campus came and went last year without the Counc~l ever commenting or recom-. · mending student opinion to the Board. The argument may arise that this is a policy matter, beyond the realm of student government powers; but that does not ·.answ.er· to the fact that the Board waa never made aware of how the students themselves felt on the issue. Thus, their policy decision • not meaning to say that they may have been wrong- could not have included the students' opinion. This semester another issue is arising which may require policy fornulatlon. A small group of students wish to organize a Viet Nam pacifist move• ment. Their purpose and methods are sttll very obscure, and presently it appears that they cannot even get past the Education Code, but if they should surmount the barriers - what then? The Board will undoubtedly make policy on student political demonstrations and participation. Will they know how the student body feels? Along these same lines, I believe that much trouble could have been avoided in the Berkeley riots if the student council of"-fhat-o'o11ege had not avoided be· coming 'involved.' possibly, if they, as recognized student representivies, had approached the administration with the students' plea, the defensive move of enforcing an old and obsolete regulation might have been modified. A general statement then: that today Palomar has a respected and responsible Executive Council .. as far as it goes. But perhaps it is possible for our Council to become more representive of the student body. While they certainly have no right to attempt the making of campus policy, they do have a duty to inform those so empowered of student sentiment. It is not bey~nd the Council to ·recommend.

No pillows in nurse's office by PENNY HILL There are no pillows in the nurse's office. However, there is a very capable nurse, cots, bandaids, and first aid medication available from nine to one on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. The new nurse, Mrs. Melinda Horakh, graduated from Vista High School in 1961 and attended Palomar during the summer of 1964. She graduated from San Diego State College in 1965 with Honors With Distinction in NUrsing and with the Neva Nye Honor Student Award, a nursing award. Her overall grade point average was 3.15. This is Mrs. Horakh's first year in nursing and she is working full time at Palomar Hospital as well as part time at the college. Her office, in A-47, opened September 17 and since then she has been tref!rting mostly ' smashed fingers, outs and bruises. Wednesday a shipment of flu vaccine arrived. This medication will be administered to the football and basketball team members, faculty and classified personnel, sometime this week. The nurse's office was originally designed for nursing purposes, but this is the first year that it has been used for a nurse. Previously it had been used as a storage room. Inside the office are two sick rooms with one cot in each, a first aid and examination room and Mrs. Horakh's personal office. Mrs. Horakh's duties are primarily first aid and health counseling. Dean Robert L. Burton explained that "Students with health problems are welcome to come to her (Mrs. Horakh's) office to discuss their health problems." Mrs. Horakh said that if she can't help a student with his problem that she can refer him to someone that is able to help. When a student receives an injury he should report it to the nurse immediately. If she is not there, he should see Dean Burton. If an injury or emergency occurs in the evening, students should notify the Dean of Evening division. The reason' is, as Dean Burton said, "This makes it possible not only for the students to receive immediate assistauce, but establishes justifiable claims under the student insurance program." The. nurse's general policies are, 1. To administer first aid to the temporary and immediate care of an accident or, sudden illness. No previous injury or ailment can be treated again. Treatment is not given for an injury received at home or for an infection. 2. The nurse will not attempt to make a diagnosis or administer medications without specific medical instructions, including aspirin. 3. Parent's written request exempting a minor from any emergency care, because of religious beliefs, will be honored. In this event, the parent is to be notified immediately through the school administrator. 4. First aid procedures as recommended by the American Red Cross and the local Medical Society will be followed. 5. The nurse w11I administer minor as well as major first ald. 6. Students may be referred to the school nurse for health counseling.

ON THE BOOKSHElF ~The
Waste Makers"
The Waste Makers by Vanoe Packard was orginally published by the DaVid McKay Company, Inc., but is now published by Pocket Books, Inc. This book is available in the ASB Book Store. Vance Packard, authoroftheSTATUSSEEKERS and THE HIDDEN PERSUADERS, projects what the economic future of our nation might be, based on the projeotton of current trends. In the first part of the . book, Packard presents a city of the future called Cornucopia City, where selling has become easy because the problem of saturation has diaappeared. In this city the buildings will be made of papier-mache so that they must be rebuilt every spring and fall. The oars will be made of lightweight plastic. Everyone will own a lifetime electronic credltoard issued at birth. Later in the book his research reveals that since Worlci War II the average American consumes twice as much goods as he d~d before the war. But he also points out that quality and desirab111ty of these goods have slowly declined. It is the author's belief that due to the acceleration of our economy is slowly changing the United States from a ''have" to a "have not" nation in natural resources. This acceleration has caused a huge drain on raw materials. He has lain part of the proof of this by showing that of the seven metals most needed in making steel alloys, only two are . ln adequate supply from domestic sources. Packard suggested several ways in which the United States could prevent the Cornucopia City from happening. One thing that could be changed would be to discontinue ''the indiscriminate and uncontrolled application of psychological principles" in selling products. Another way would be for the manufacturers and consumers to restore pride in quality of product. Although the author has several solutions to this problem, he offered no practical way to attain or follow through with these soultiona . by MAUREENA EATON

·LETTERS TO THE EDilOR
Editor: I can no longer keep my opinion of the Telescope under my breath. The first issue was well done, the second o.k. but after that you began to waste ~ime, effort, space, and paper. Is it my imagination or do you ever proof-read your pape:r? There were so many mistakes in your last two issues that a person would need both sets of fingers and toes to count them all . The small spelling e rrors wouldn't stick out like a white zek in a purple nik if they weren't in large type or in the captions in your last issue? I've talked with other students about the paper and I've come to the conclusion that unless you (the paper) begin to publish a college paper that college students will read with some thought rather then snicker under theirbreath, you're going to have many
stacks of extra cooies left over in your store room. JEANNE HARAME Ed. Note: This is the first time we have had no extra copies of the TELESCOPE on hand. I refer you to the following letter. Editor: Congratulations! I didn't think it could be done, but the Telescope staff has done it. The paper has actually improved. After each issue getting successively worse, the Oct. 19 issue got better. This time page four was more than continueds from page one; the stories on page one were on that page and not continued and scattered over the entire paper. I realize that the success of the paper depends on more than just the editor; it depends on the size of the staff, theircapabilftles,
and the co-operation of the student body. Given full support and co-operation from the entire student body the Telescope could continue to improve and become the best J. C. paper in the state. It is our responsiblllty as interested members of that body to give the staff as much help as we can. If we sit around and c~m plain about the paper, we're just as much at fault as the staff who wrote and organized that paper. If you don't like the paper, go see the editor, tell her about it, then offer to help. I am! DRINDA TRUSSELL Editor: As a student who has attended all of the assemblies, I :bavenoticed one important matter which !think should be attended to. There are three (sometimes more) photographers whose asslgnm~nt it is to
cover the assembly. The first twoknow(seem to) what they are doing, but the third!! You can't begin to imagine how it looks to the students and guests seated in the audience to have a photographer climb upon a chair in back of the speaker or lying on a piano. I have been told that some of the faculty has mentioned something to the student after the first happening; you think he would get the hint. But evidently it didn't do any good because tt happened again last Friday. Now I don't have anything against this student in fact I don't even know him. But I feel he should be taught a little of photography in public or be banished from the assemblies altogether. ELAINE V. ROY

"Waiting For Godot," the first drama production of the season opens November 2 through the 6th at a new curtain time 7:30p.m., in the Drama Lab. The tragicomedy by Samuel Beckett opens as Estragon (Gogo) played by Douglas Smith and Vladimir (Didi) played by James Ryan are waiting by the tree for Godot. Because "nothing is certain when you're about" Gogo and Didi aren't certain what day it is nor if they're waiting by the right tree. Pozzo and Lucky, played by Ben L. McCracken and Paul Marvel respectively, come along the road where Gogo and Didi wait. At first Gogo and Didi take Pozzo for Godot but find he is an overbearing man. Pozzo later becomes blind and doesn't remember being with Gogo and Didi the day before. With a rope leash and collar around his neck, Lucky is a dumb slave of Pozzo's. When Lucky is ordered to think he speels out an uninterrupted ten minute monologue of nonsensical information. This speech is the one time Lucky speaks. The boy, played by William Garleb, Jr. comes to Gogo and Didi with messages .from Godot. He tells them '!He won't be coming this evening.'' But the boy tells them that Godot will come tomorrow and so Gogo and Didi wait.

by BEVERLY WHITE "We're building a complete stage with a false proscenium," said Frank N. White, drama instrutor. He was commenting on the construction for the play "Waiting For Godot," opening November 2 throu_g h 6 at 7:30p.m. drama lab. The stage will be of three elevations built of hinged, collaspsable platforms. The stage will be of two foot, two and a half foot and three foot levels. The middle elevation will be the road on which Gogo and Didi wait for Godot. . The proscenium arch will be built of large muslin-covered flats. The backdrop is stripe of muslin sewn together which will represent the sky. There will be a minimum of scenery; i will be an abstract setting of a ''mound o: dirt, a road, and a tree,'' according tc Ben L. McCracken, lab assistant. ''Our crew has spent 200 hat.\rS preparin~ the set and we still have another 100 hourf of work to do before the set is complete,' commented James Ryan, lab assistant. Students who have been working on the se include James Ryan, Ben McCracken, Ils1 Leslie, Ladd Graham, Kathy McElhiney Doug Smith, Gordon Stubblefield, Pau Marvel, Steve Lewis, Joe Macduff, Beverly White, Art Bosco, Sally Flemming, and Bar McKelvey.
Symposium follows opening night

Following the first performance of "Waiting For Godot," November 2, in the drama lab, there will be a symposuim to discuss the "avant-garde" play by Samuel Beckett. "It is the kind of play that once you've seen it you'll want to talk about it," said Frank N. White, drama instructor. "The symposium is a good instructional device and since the play has intellectual interest the symposium will amplify the intellectual contact," added White. "It is to be stressed that no one will be seated after curtain time at 7:30p.m. Latecomers wilt be seated at intermission. Since the play io in two acts those who come in after act one will miss half of the play," remarked White. Geneal admission tickets are $1. 50 and students must have an A, s. B. card for 50~ tickets .
