Viet N am speoch well attended Monday, November 1, at 11:00 students and faculty gathered anxiously in room F-22 for the International Club meeting But the club did not have a meeting. Interested students and faculty were waiting to hear the guest speaker,Roy Archer, defend the US policy in Viet Nam. "The raging war in Viet Narn involves a conflict of aims" Archer explained, "between the US and the Communist Chinese."

"The Chinese Communists ha~e three aims: to spread Communism throughout the world, to reunite China, and to develop a Chinese sphere of influence. They are more concerned with spreading com~unism and by infiltrating countries hope eventually to bring more a reas under Communism. They would like to control countries like Korea, Tibet, and Viet Nam and bring them under their rule once again," asserted Archer.

The Communist Chinese also hope to encompass all of Asia. "Give us Asia," they say "and you (the US) can have South America." But once we let them have Asia they would also want South America.

They'd like to combine the world into one large economic unit, he continued.

US Aims "What are US aims?" queried Archer.

Our main reason for being in VietNam is the conflict of ideas, but a more pertinent fact - to prevent Communist expansion. we have to draw the line somewhere. We can't let Communism go any farther. The US also aims to control the power of any one country in Asia. " Too much power in one country spells disaster. We would like to create a state in Viet Nam advocating p o l i t i c a l and e c o n o m i c a l stability.

The US has a possibility of three policies. We could accommodate. This would prove ineffective in many ways.

We would weaken ourselves strategically and psychologically. There would be the thought of an unwillingness to stand up for our beliefs, and we would encourage the Communists to think we will let them develop their sphere of influence, was Archer's first propos al.

"Liberation is another policy, but not a good one," he assel'ted. Complete with-

drawal would mean the US would no longer have any influence in Asia. We go to war with China and we build the foundation for World War Ill, Containment is the policy that the US has adopted. If we stay in Viet Nam we show the Communist Chinese that they cannot win. The constant bombing of bridges and roads is intended to stop troops and supplies.

Are we winning in VietNam? Where are we making progress and what are the results? These questions are only a few of the criticisms of the US policy. In defense of our position, Archer includes that "We are winning; we are preventing Communist expansion militarily." But we cannot win the war in Viet Nam by military methods alone and are trying to improve the standard of living in the area also," he continued.

Why is the US advocating a non-democratic country? It is better than letting them go Communist. Some individuals feel that Asia is not important to the US, But we must seep democratic ideas in the country if we are to gain allies, says Archer in answer to his question.

The US wants a stalemate. "We have to win the war by social and political means.

You can't tell howlongitwill take, maybe fifty years," suggested Archer.

A question and answer period followed the lecture. Hands flew up in all directions indicating the interest Archer had aroused in those that attended the lecture.

At 11:50 the bell rang but many remained; eager to ask their questions .

Why we ore ot Palomar

By KATHY PHILLIPS Ever wonder what you are doing at Palomar? The reasons vary as do the individual. Some may come to get a general education, others to get credits to go on to a four year college and many because they don't know what they want to do.

We would all like to look into the future and see ourselves successful. But as limited as our abilities may be to do this, there is one thing a person can achieve if he works for it, and that is an optimistic; outlook.

Confronted by the facts that unemployment rates are rising and automation is doing the jobs formerly done by a high school graduate leaves us with mixed emotions.

How can we conquer our uncertanties ? There is really no sureproof method for this. We have to

adjust to these facts and expect them.

If an individual is optimistic he can be more relaxed. Fear of making a mistake or that time is running out leaves many students running around in circles. K n o w 1 e d g e is never wasted and is always useful.

Learning is a rewarding experience and those who know its value never consider it time lost.

While we are making a place in society we also are able to get a better understanding of ourselves.

Our efforts are never exhausted in attempts to have an open mind, make decisions, handle responsibilities and profit by mistakes. A philosophy of life to remember and consider are these three aims: self to live with, faith to live byandpurpose to live for.

The group was originally organized to sing at the Golden Door a health spa in San Marcos, by Herman McCoy, head chef.

Last June the Herman McCoy Choir made their first demonstration record.

••we usuallysingpopularmusic, music from Broadway musicals, and spirituals," commented Miss Courson. "All of our music is arranged by members of the group."

Any money obtained for performances is placed in a fund for transportation and costume improvements for the entire group.

Much ado about publications meeting "Much Ado About Nothing" turned out to be the name of the showdown at the Student Publications Board meeting last week.

"There seems to be a lack of awareness here on campus," Paul Herz declared, "regarding important issues such as Viet Nam. '' Herz, a sophmQre suggested that such issues be aired in campus publications.

Dr. Fredrick R. Huber said he believed students were free to write guest editorials or letters to the editor.

Dr. Huber pointed out that there have regularly been published many letters on a wide variety of subjects. Richard Norlin English department head, recalled that student opinion on a highly controvel,'sial debate last year involving a member of the Communist party was reflected in the TELESCOPE through letters to the editor. Theodore Kilman, journalism instructor , suggested that students eager to express themselves in campus publications take advantage of journalism courses offered.

After this brief exchange the balance of the hour-long meeting was taken up

in discussions of legal restrictions on campus political clubs, means ofstudent expression outside publications, and why a group seeking publicity is not necessarily worth of news coverage.

In conclusion Dr. Huber stated: "As far as this administration is concerned, we will not loose sight of studeut opinion on campus. We do have a large framework in which to encourage the expression of student opinion." He urged that still other ways be sought to allow free discussion of all subjects of current interest.

The Student Publications Board was established three years ago. Faculty representatives are appointed by the president of the college.

They are Virgil L. Bergman, chairman, Theodore Kilman, and Richard Norlin. Justus Ahrend, C. Scott Boyles , and Joseph Malik are ex-officio members. A. S.B. representatives are John Hicks, Dee Bernard, and Walt Ridlon. Hicks was the only stude nt member present.

Others who met with the board were Dr. Huber, Dr. Kenneth W. Grisingher, Crista Gillette , Jim McNutt, Paul and Larry Herz, and Bill Watson.

REPORT

by BOB HICKS (First in a series of four articles) An interesting situation has arisen in our Executive Council as a result of a recent Judicial Committee interpretation. The A.S.B. By-LawsstatethatStanding Committee Chairmen are •ex-officio" members of the Council (Art. II, sect. 1). According to Robert's Rules and also Sturgis Parliamentary Procedure, ex-officio membership enjoys the same voting privileges as do the regular members. Realizing this, the Council had to decide whether they wanted to amend the by-laws retracting the ex-officio status of the appointed chairmen; or, whether, the interpretation would stand, thus adding six votes to the body. They chose the latter, unanimously.

As a result , six of the twenty votes on the Council are appointed members. More than one third of the power is the discretion of presidential appointment subject to Council consent.

There are generally two opinions in the consideration of such a governmental system. One maintains that the mass population - in this case the student electorateprovide the best people for government. Therefore, the Executive Council should be directly elected by the Associated Students.

The other thought is that better government is realized through indirect representation. This opinion feels that the electing majority is not necessarilyproviding for the best rule, and that the elected representatives must be balanced with qualified appointees ..

The arguements favoring either side are too extensive to cover here in one column. Let us be sat' isfied for now to realize that much power and influence underlies the recent change in our representative system of student government. This addition of one-third to the voting membership can certainly sway the decision of that body.

For the next two weeks we can analyze Palomar student government as it was before the change, and as it is now with the additional appointed votes.

Then possibly the student body can know and evaluate which ever of the systems is best for us.

bravura I the palomar college literary magazine The women in the choir wear black dresses with various accessories and the men wear gold coats, black continental ties, and tuxedo pants.

The choir practices for three' and one-half hours on Thursday nights except when they are preparing for a special performance. Then they practice Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.

Although there have been tentative offers, the group has no definite plans for the future. Miss Courspn remarked, "It is hard for us to travel because everyone has his own profession besides singing." The majority of the singers are teachers, although some are housewives and secretaries.

Miss Courson has no definite plans for the future although she may later change her major from general education to music _in order to obtain a teaching credential in music.

She is enrolled full time at the college_

LETTERS TO THE EDilOR Dear Editor: Last Monday I was very pleased to have attended a lecture given by Roy Archer of the political science department. · I was equally impressed with the fact that 70 or so other students had the courage to attend a lecture of this nature; namely, •The American Policy in VietNam." Where all the other students and faculty members were, I'll never know. Possibly, they had something more important to do during lunch than to concern themselves with a lecture on Vietnam.

Why is it nobody seems to care about the reasoning behind the e s c a 1 ate d interference of the United States in Viet-Nam? Is it because they already know the facts; and if the facts are known, are they considered justified?

It is a shame that a country so advanced technologically cannot in some way, begin to sit down with their "enemies" and philosophize about war.

This could seem to be hardly the question, but it appears to me that if something like this is not done and done soon, there won't be anyone around to tell about it. How will the problems in Southeast Asia be different in thirty years when the war is over? Can it also be argued that the pursuance of a limited but escalated war in Vietnam will in the long run stabilize Asia for development and self-determination at a later date?Dopeople condone the right to kill some of the people as long as everybody agress not to kill ALL of them? or is it more probable that the number of deaths does not change the reasons for which, supposedly, the war

Herz ings" and "draft-dodging."

Dear Editor: Ian McLean Why is it that minority dissent is so often immediately frowned upon and considered to be a mere display of irresponsibility and disrespect?

An example of such h a s t y judgement is found, I think, in the general feeling broadcast through the news media, that draft - card burning can be equaled with draft - dodging.

There are several questions that seem to be avoided in the formation cf such hasty- judgements although their consideration is necessary if we are .to examine fairly the motives behind draft-card burnings.

These are as follows: . l-Is it possible that draftcard burning is an honest expression of conscience in opposition to u. S. policy in Vietnam?

2-Does the fact that an individual is bearded or appears different in some other way, an indication that he is unpatriotic, disrespectful, insincere and unworthy of our attention?

3'-Is it possible that such demonstrations of dissent might h a v e some moral or r e a s o n a b 1e justification?

Dear Editor: I hope the bookstore has more foresight next semester than was apparent last month.

Many students had quite a time purchasing textbooks.

After many long waits, an attempt was made to purchase the required books and supplies.

A continuous line outside the bookstore was seen for many days. Students patiently waited with hope that they would be among the lucky few let in. Upon entering, chances were slim that all the items that one needed would be there. They had been sold out!

Perhaps the bookstore realizes what a mess· it was. Perhaps there will be additional cash registers next semester (they can be rented). Perhaps the bookstore will rope or block off an area to facilitate faster check-outs. Perhaps the students will buy more merchandise at an improved ASB bookstore, rather than patronize a private establishment.

Hopefully, Bill Kundinger Dear Editor: What was said in the October 26 edition of your paper about a

certain photographer is true.

But let's not forget that the Telescope has also been having excellent photography.

While we wish for one of the photographers to improve his techniques, remember that the photographers are doing a great job, and our paper is a better one because of theirendeavors.

Keep up the good work.

Gary Barnhard Dear Editor: I would like to commend you on the fine sports page you generally put out. Last week's article by Glen Bailey is a fine example.

School victories make good reading; defeats have to be well written to be interesting. You're doing well on both, keep it up.

Melody Doward Dear Editor: It seems that the task of taking pictures at our assemblies is becoming an increasing problem. It is particularly annoying to be listening to a speaker or some other type of entertainment, and ~ee photographers continually poppingup in front of the audience snapping photos.

I realize these people have a certain jobtoperform, but there must be some less conspicuous manner in which to do it. I wish in the future they would try to be less obvious about their actions.

THE TELESCOPE

November 9, 1965

Gridders close season Saturday The Palomar College 1965 football season which started out with four straight victories, will come to an end Saturday night with the Comets playing host to Grossmont and the winner likely to claim third place in the Pacific Southwest Conference. · The two squads will meet on Escondido High School's Memorial Field at 8 p.m.

The Griffins just missed handing San Diego City their first conference loss in two years Saturday, losing by a 21-20 score. The loss evened their league mark at 3-3, identical to Palomar's. The Comets won their three non-conference games while the Griffins lost their three.

MiraCosta and Me s a, tied for second place in the conference with 4-2 marks, will meet and unless a tie results, Palomar would be tied for third place should they win. In other games Saturday night San Diego CC (6-0) hosts Imperial Valley (2-4) and Southwestern (2-4) travels to College of the Desert

win. Action took place in the 28-20 victory over Southwestern. Jim Davis, Steve Ware, and Photo by Steve Mallory Bob Lent are some of the tacklers.

Rick MohroQ ~PORT. Bill Jaroncyk, Palomar· star football player had a really hard' task to perfrom this season. He was labled as an All - American Candidate by the Palomar College Press and Yearbook and has been a "marked-man" •for each of'tlie games he's t played. Jaroncyk, who year was voted "Athlete of the Year" at Palomar, has faced much pressure JARONCYK throughout · the year and has come through with flying colors.

In leading the Comets to a 5-3 record with one game remaining to be played, Jaroncyk has excelled on both offense and defense. The 6' 1" Sophomore is the Comets leading pass receiver and scorer from his wingback or flanker position and is one of the top three in the Pacific Southwest Conference in both departments. He is more noted for his defensive safety play, and the all-around athlete has run back several intercepted passes for touchdowns.

The chances of Jaroncyk becoming the first Palomar player ever to be recognized as an ' All-American in football are slim, but as far as his value to the Comets, he deserves to get the nomination. Following is the way he has figured in each of the Comets' football games this year: In the season opener against Compton College, Jaroncyk caught the winning touchdown pass in a 14-10 triump over the Tartars .

The following week t:u~ Comets traveled to San Bernardino Valley College and played without the services of Jaroncyk, who was injured in practice during the week. Palomar still won, 21-10.

In the conference opener on November 2, Jaroncyk returned to play an outstanding game His 97- yard runback after intercepting a pass was one of his three touchdowns in the game, which led the unbeaten Comets to a 27-0 upset victory over Mesa College and vaulted Palomar into seventeenth place on the JC Grid-Wire selections. It was the first time a Comet football team was ever selected on the poll.

c 011 e ge' s

The following Saturday Jaroncyk had one of his poorer nights, catching only three passes for 35 yards, though one was for a touchdown.

College of the Desert was the undermanned foe and Palomar won its fourth straight, 42-0, which put them eleventh in the natiq{l.

Palomar faced a powerhouse the next week, and lost to San Diego City College, 29-14. Jaroncyk and Walt Ridlon scored the only touchdowns, both on interception returns in the first half.

In the opening quarter against MiraCosta the following week, Jaroncyk was ejected from the game. Without him Palomar lost a 16-0 Homecoming contest to their arch-rivals.

On October 30, Palomar snapped the two game losing streak by nipping Southwestern College, 28-20. Jaroncyk enjoyed one of his biggest nights, catching four passes for 160 yards and scoring the only touchdown of the first half on an 82-yard pass and scoring the last TD of the game, on a 28-yard interception run back.

Jaroncyk caught a pass from Montiel for the Comets' lone score in a 7-6loss to Imperial Valley Saturday night.

Comets lose Defeat is always a bitter pill, but Saturday night's narrow miss was an exceptionally distasteful one for Palomar. The Comets were plagued by Imperia 1 Valley's acute case of doing the right thing at the right time. Ironically, the Arabs did p r act i c a 11 y nothing statistically, but what little they did was enough to slip by Palomar, 7-6.

Saturday's contest marks the locals hardluck game of the season. The Comet. defense was superior, holding the Arabs to only 120 yeards total offense and turning in two classic goal line stands.

The offense, spearheaded by Dave Johnston, played one of its better games, but ran into a blank wall with each scoring opportunity. · The Com~tg- had md¥e than their share of misfortune. Three of quart e r back Jerry Montiel's passes were intercepted all in key scoring opportunities. Palomar lost the ball twice on fumbles within scoring range, and in the final seconds of the game, an officials belated time out call nullified what could have been a winning field goal attempt.

Coach Cece McGehee and his crew have no reason to be ashamed, they

'"-6),

This will be the last time many of the Palomar athletes will perform on the gridiron, though some of the Sophomores will go on to play ball at fouryear colleges and a lot of Freshmen w i 11 be back next year.

Comet q u a r t e r b a c k Jerry Montiel will attempt to have the team get on the scoreboard more often than in last week's 7-6 loss to Imperial V a 11 e y. In the game the Comets moved the ball as well as they had at any time during the year, but could only score one touchdown. Tailbacks Dan Starr and Dave Johnston have been the leading rushers over the season. Other backs likely to see heavy duty are Jim Ballenger, Junior Morton, Rod Nicol, and Jim Davis.

Flanker B i 11 Jaroncyk and split end Mike Blair give Palomar the finest two pass receivers in the conference. Comet offensive linemen likely to start are tackles Rick Wolfe and Dave La ugh te r, guards Vern Krogh andDonDence, center Charlie Higgins, and tight end Bill Beckett. Tackle Mike Manning and ends Bob Lent and Walt Rildon

should also see heavy action.

Doug Redfern, who has been playing the •monster" 1i neb acke r position and safety Jaroncyk have led the defensive unit, which has allowed less points to be scored against them than any conference team other than SDCC, Standout defensive linemen are Barney Lampe, Higgins, Laughter, Wayne Spencer, Jim Frank and Mike McPhee.

Injuries have taken their biggest tollat the linebacker spots.

Ballenger and Ric McDonnell will probably start as outside linebackers with Norm Johnston at middle linebacker. Gary Morgan, Lent,Nicol,Montiel, Davis, Starr, and Dave Johnston may see duty at the position.

Bill Sullivan and Rildon join Jaroncyk in the secondary. The trio has accounted for five touchdowns on interception returns.

Banquet planned The Associated Men Students are making tentative plans for a sports banquet to be held in January. The banquet would feature a prominent sports figure, possibly Don Drysdale or Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Also in the making i!? the possibility of a dance which would be co- sponsored by the AMS and the AWS. Sofarnodefinitedateshavebeen set for the affairs.

played a good game. The statistics were overwhelmingly in ;palomar's favor. The Comets compiled 370 yards total offense. and racked up 23 first downs to only six for the Arabs.

Montiel completed 13 of 30 passes, including a 12 yard scoring aerial to Bill Jaroncyk in the fourth quarter.

Johnston had his best game of the season gaining 103 yeards in 12 carries.

Dan Starr was second for the . Comets with 54 yards in 16 attempts. Split end Mike Blair had one of his finest nights, catching for an excess of 100 yards.

The difference of the game proved to be the point after touchdown. The Arabs c,qnverst<?n. kick was accurate, while Jim Ballenger's boot for Palomar was unsuccessful. IVC's touchdown came on a one yard run by John Cato in tlle second quarter.

Palomar pounded out an exciting 2820 victory over Southwestern two weeks ago which makes the Imperial Valley encounter even more of a puzzle. Hopefully, the Comets will put together the pieces in time to give Grossmont a true taste of Palomar medicine in the sea- , son's finale this Saturday.

Dave Johnston streaks 12 yards around end for touchdown in "FLEA FLICKER" Southwestern game. The play started with a 6-yard pass from Jerry Montiel to Mike Blair, who in turn lateralled to Johnston.

Comets beat Southwestern Playing before their smallest home crowd of the year, Palomar College snapped a two game losing streak on October 30 by staging two fourth-quarter touchdowns to beat Southwestern College 28-20.

Behind 20-14 after three periods of play, Palomar scored quickly in the final stanza on a 16-yard sweep around end

by Dan Starr. Bill Jarocyk, playing one of his greatest games, recovered the fumble which gave Palomar the ball and sprung Starr's run with a solid block.

Jaroncyk scored his second TD of the game by returning an intercepted pass 28 yards to paydirt · one play after Palomar kicked off. Jim Ballenger booted his fourth straightconversionofthenight and Palomar had their eight point margin of victory.

The Comets opened the game with ·a unique backfield combination, with Rod N,icol at quarterback and Jerry·Montiel at halfback. Montiel threw a 54-yard halfback pass to Jaroncyk midway through the scoreless opening quarter but was eventually. returned to his quarterback position.

Jaroncyk, who has been playing wingback all season, was moved out to become a flanker against the Apaches. He caught an 82-yard aerial from Montiel which gave the Comets a 7-0 halftime advantage.

Southwestern scored all oftheirpoints in the third peiod. The Comets' also scored in the period, on a ''flea flicker" play, the third time they've scored a TD on it this year. Montiel tossed a sixyard strike to Mike Blair, who lateralled to Dave Johnston, who sprinted 12 yards into the end zone.

Student government conference /

"We're going to fly to Sacramento, and I've never flown before," was A.S.B. Vice-President Caroly Clark's thrilled exclamation concerning the California Junior College Student Government Association State Convention November 18-20. · Bob Hicks, Judicial Chairman, Mike Umphres, Freshman Class President, Don Hon, President of the Veterans Club, Glen Bailey, A.S.B. President, and Miss Clark will leave San Diego at 10:15 a .m. on Thursday, November 18 andreturn at 8:00 p.m. Saturday. While attending the convention the students will stay at the El Dorado Hotel. Director of student activities, Joseph Malik, and Dean Robert Bowman will accompany the group as advisors.

The students will each attend one of five workshops during the convention where they will make recommendations and draw up r esolutions besides discussing their various agendas.

Bob Hicks said he hopes to discuss, "The Senate type of government for

junior colleges patterened after our own national government," in the workshop concerning The Philosophy and Function of Student Government.

Hon hopes to impress upon the students in the Re-Ocurring Problem'E workshop his opinion that, ''The most important qualification in dealing with community, faculty, and administration is maturity."

Miss Clark, who is in the Campus Organization workship, feels that "The whole idea of the leadership conference is different this year in that we're working more on the philosophy and ideas behind all forms of campus life, rather than specific problems."

Umphres intends to emphasize the idea that a standard grade point average should be established throughout all of the junior colleges in his workshop, The Changing Student. ''I want to contribute as much as I can to the President's workshop, but the main reason I'm going is to bring back ideas on how to be a better A. S.B. President,'' stated Glen Bailey.

until he was certain he had people who could do it. The four main characters are all "lettermen", veterans of other shows.

Douglas Smith, who convincinglyplays the comic tramp Gogo, has been in two Palomar Productions, a high schoolplay and a play produced by the Fallbrook Players.

James Ryan, cast as Didi, puts to good use experience gained in an Ohio high school with two shows here to play Gogo's straight man.

Paul Marvel, in the deceptively simple role of Lucky worked in three previous productions here, after experience in high school dramatics.

Ben L. McCracken, appearing in his fourth Palomar show turns out an outstanding performance as the nobleman Pozzo.

Twelve-year-old William Garleb, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Grieb of Escondido, appears briefly at the end of each act as a shepherd boy. A seventh grader at Orange Glen, Bill does a creditable job in his first role.

Commenting on the work of the cast, staff, and production crew, \\:'hite Sf!.id: "Everyone had a sense ofmission. From the very beginning they were excited about this play." · But the big question is, is •waiting for Godot" worth getting excited about?

Bored spectators said No. Others, disturbed, absorbed, or fascinated, said Yes. The only common reaction seems to have bl;len a profound disagreement as to what the play is all about.

For instance, there is no agreement even on the crucial significance or identity of Godot. Who is Godot? Is he death, life, something, nothing, heaven, hell, God, man's Unconquerable Hope?

In a symposium following the first night performance, Rev. Jerome G. Blankinship, pastor of the San Marcos

Los Pinos, as a rural camp, is not as diversified as the urban centers in vocational training. The rural centers concentrate on conservation, auto mechanics on a limited basis, ~d heavy equipment operation. The urban centers prepare the corpsmen for a, future in city areas rather than preparing them for conservation 11nd forestry jobs.

On certain days of the week the corpsmen attend school from 8:00 to, 3:30 and then go to physcial education, and on the remaining days of the week they work from 8:00 to 4:00.

They are taken on cultural exposure trips to supplement their studies.

The men r eceive $75 worth of c ivilian c lothes upon entering the center.

Their transportation, medical and dental fees are also paid. A corpsman may drop out of the program at any time, in which event his transportation back home is provided.

The dropout rate at Los Pinos is 16%.

Anderson said that the largest number of all dropouts is from Kentucky. The center in Kilmer, N.J. has an 8% dropout rate , the lowest in the nation. This is probably because it is ten minutes away from New York City and many othe r urban centers.

Corpsmen are paid $30 a month in wages and $50 a month is put aside for them to collect when they l eave the center. After completing part of the course and showing leadership qualities, certain members become assistant leaders. These men receive an additional $10 per month. Three assistant leaders and one faculty member accompanied Anderson at the meeting.

'"The clown's pratfalls indicate man's fallenness, his inneptness," Rev. Blankinship offered. "The boy is a C h r i s t figure."

"There is not as much religious symbolism in the play," Dr. Schettler countered, "as some may have thought. There is no salvation symbol; nothing in the play indicates happiness."

"Man must endure, that is the message," Kilman said. '"It is not unhappiness. He just endures." ,"Waitingis not the purpose of life," Bollington said. "There is no nobility in the fact of waiting. It's how man waits that is important."

"How can man be noble with his pants down?" one of the panelists queried.

To wind things up, White, the symposium moderator compounded the confusion by contradicting Schettler, who had said the play was early existentialist. "The play," White said, "is of the absurd school. But it is not an absurd play. It is anti-existential."

The whole problem of interpreting the meaning of the play is the resultofbeing an adult, suggests Alan Schneider, director of the first American production.~.

"Adults should see the play three or four times if they want the meaning.

Children," he says, "don't seem to have any trouble wih it."

That's the way it was with one young first-nighter. He watched the play attentively to the end, then cradled his head in his mother's lap and went to sleep. He didn;t wait to have his ideas c larified by the panel of experts.

Vending machines popular with snrlents

by Penny Hill Job Corps centers and their functions was the topic of a speech October 29 by Leon Anderson, director of e ducation at Los Pinos job corps center. Anderson's appearance was sponsored byPalomar's Young Democrats.

Anderson took over the direction Los Pinos when it opened on July 27 of this year. Before working with the camp, Anderson was a teacher and then a high school principal for seven years. He received his M. A. from Columbia University.

Anderson explained the jpb corps as being part of the poverty program to give underprivile'g ed high school dropouts a • second s hot." The program is designed for two years but many students finish the program anywhere from s ix months through the two year period.

The state employment office screens applicants for the program. They must be. from sixteen to twenty-one years old and be without a complete high school education. The corpsmen are then placed in urban or rural divisions whe re their schooling covers everything from the fundamentals t o college preparatory work.

Each student progresses in the program as quickly as he, individually, is able. •our program is designed so all our corpsmen realize some success," stated Anderson. He blamed the school system in general for giving the student the feeling that he can not progress and subsequently for the student' s quitting school.

The basic job corps instruction includes reading and arithmetic. Los Pinos is going further and offering language arts, typing, science, and his tory.

methodist Church, Dr. John D. Schettler, philosophy instructor, Peter Bollington, of the English department, with Mr. Theodore Kilman, head of the communications department, examined the play as specialists in their own fields. They didn't agree to disagree. They just disagreed.

By DONNA MURDENT Approximately 1100 items are sold per week from the four new vending machines on the south side of the engineering building.

The vending machines now include a cold food machine operated by the cafeteria containing sandwiches, pie, milk, and orange juice and three vending machines operated on a percentage basis by the Automatic Retailers of America.

The other three machines contain hot drinks, cold drinks, soup, and candy.

"The vending machines are a good idea instead of walking clear down to the snack bar," commented Jeff Nesbitt.

J oyce Childs also believes the vending machines advantagious for, "Those people that don't want to stand in lineat the snack bar."

Mrs. Gertrude Coulter, Cafeteria Supervisor, feels that, "There s hould be a snack bar at the other e nd of the campus eventually. Me anwhile, we are expanding with the vending machines. In the very near future we hope to have a fourdrink vending machine at the gymnasium and engineering building that will give the s tudents a 10 ounce drink with ice automatically," s he said.

The vending machines that we have now are, "Way too far away from where most of the students are,'' according to Joan Bryant. Rob Chatham believes, ''The vending machines would be more centrally located near P --32.''

Anyone who has complaints about the vending machines or has been shortc hanged is urged to see Mrs. Coulter during the day or Mrs. Hosto in the evening.

Unaware that a lurking body may cast out a snatching hand at her from the tuna sandwich slot, this student and several other Paolmar women bravely patronize the new vending machines.

Any student, faculty or Community member of Palomar's district may audition at an open casting of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" today in the Drama Lab. Auditions for students will be at 4:00 p.m. and adults . will audition at 7:30p.m.

"The Crucible," one of the most moving dramas in American theatre, has a cast of eleven men and ten women.

The characters range in age from teenagers to eighty-year-old men and women. The cast includes a negro female.

"There are many good, experienced adult actors in the community, and this will provide our' student actors an opportunity to work with them," commented Frank :t)J. , White, drama instructor.

The play, which will run December 14 through 18 (the week before Christmas vacation) has historical significance by its setting and date of 1692.

The action occurs in Salem, Massachusetts, at the time of Salem's notorious witch trials.

Joh Proctor, a respected man of Salem, is the main character of the play. Abigail Williams, a young girl, is in love with Proctor and sets out to get rid of his wife, Elizabeth. Abigail and a few other young girls begin to cast accusations at townspeople, calling them witches and saying that they have been with the devil.

If the accused lie and say that they are witches and have been with the devil, they are released. But if they tell the truth and deny that they are witches, they are condemned to death.

Abigail ultimately cries witch at Elizabeth, who is taken to prison as have been many before her.

In an effort to save his wife, Proctor publicly makes known an affair he had had with Abigail, condemning himself to the crime of lechery. He does this to prove that Abigail's accusations against Elizabeth are motivated by a desire to get her out of the way.

After Proctor reveals Abigail's crime of fornication, she points to him and calls him a witch.

The conflict which Proctor faces is whether to live and forever be shamed by admittance ofalieor to die and leave Elizabeth and their children with dignity and honor. It is this crisis which makes Proctor a tragic figure who is trying to secure his personal dignity.

"The Crucible" is one of the most widely produced plays in the American theatre.

"By producing this play as a 'Town and Gown' production, we can help to further establish Palomar as the cultural center of the community," stated White.

He emphasized that no roles have been previously cast and that· all roles will be filled as a result of the open auditions.

The Judicial Committee has set up basis for approval of campus organizations to meet. It states that "in order fo r any organization to meet it must produce sufficient membership to fill the number of officers' positions stipulated in that club's constitution, or it shall not be recognized · as an approved Palomar student organization. The constitution of the aforementioned organization shall become dufunct. Re-organization of the aforementioned organization shall be subject to the rules and regulations governing ·the approval of a newly formed organization."

This action has been taken to facilitate efficiency in the structure and operation of campus organizations. The above procedure will be incorporated by the Judicial Committee, and was passed at yesterday's ASB Council meeting.
