Hats off to coach Rusty Myers for his excellent basketball season which saw the Comet cagers finish just one game out of first place and a South Central Conference championship. Highlight of the season was the brilliant all-around play of forward Joe McCoy who, in this writer's mind, was a standout among his fellow teammates. Joe smashed the Palomar scoring record and the free throw record as well as finishing fifth in league scoring and thirteenth in Southern California in junior college scoring. Another highlight was the Palo Verde game in which the Comets toppled the team which was to eventually represent the

Two Principal Values Gained
From Attending College "There are two principal values one may derive from a college education: practical values and higher values," says Mr. A. Heyne, instructor of foreign languages at PJC. Listing the varied practical values, Mr. Heyne states that college widens the scope of factual knowledge and develops skills that are instrumental in our daily struggle for "a place in the sun." The studentis trained in competitive effectiveness in a competitive world where a college education is rapidly becoming a standard requirement. One learns special skills and the baste training for certain occupations which may increase h~s future
Adolphe Heyne oarn1ng power. Statistics show that the average college man earns ahigher income than the average high school graduate. Furthermore, a college education endows a certain prestige. Mr. Heyne believes that the higher values are the most significant values in a college education. "College can immeasurably enrich our lives. It may open windows to new worlds, to new fields of interest, and to more cultural pur-
suits. It cultivates in us the art of living. If it merely teaches us to make a living, it misses its real mission." We learn to become independent and critical thinkers "enabling us to seek and see the truth and thereby guarding us from falling prey to false arguments and spurious doctrines." Making a pointed observation, the ' language instructor states that "education, frequently obtained in colleges, gives us that type of wealth which nothing and nobody can take away from us except death." Born and raised in Switzerland, Mr. Heyne came to the United States as an adult immigrant and stresses his contention that "the real value, the real greatness of the American college education, consists in the fact that it is available to anyone mentally capable to absorb it and willing to put forth the necessary purposeful efforts." Mr. Heyne received his BA and MA degrees from UC at Berkeley and for two and one-half years he was a teaching assistant there. In 1939 he began teaching in publicschools at the Oceanside-Carlsbad JC. Vlhen Palomar opened its doors in 1946, Mr. Heyne came here as a member of the teaching staff.

Two other new members,who were unable to attend, were Wally Miller and Ray Canfield. Although no mention was made of Workday last Saturday night, theCircle K Club is busily preparing for Friday, March 26. One project of longstanding is an outdoor bulletin board, which Circle K will construct onWorkday.
