The open he. Jse will last fro m 7 p m. until I0 p.m., with three main activities occupying the evening. From 7 io 8:15, tours will be conducted f1roughout the college by variou s college students. These tours will look in on different class activities with the intent of giving a cro ;s-section diagram of our schoo l. At 8:30 an auditorium program is planned with a flag-raising ceremony presented by i·he local National Guard unit. The highlight of the program will be a speech by Frank Lindsay, assistant superintendent of schools for the State of California. The college glee club will present some musical numbers. Afte r the mair. program the Palomar Patrons have planned informal refreshments in the cafeteria for everyone attending the Open House. In order to carry out the activities of such a busy day, all studerts who do not already have definite assignments are urged to get in touch with their student council members and learn about the jobs which have to be done . Tasks such as parking cars, guiding tours, etc., must be taken over by tho students. After all, the open house is for the students and

I Could Have Sworn I Heard Something One day whi le strolling peacefully around the campus minding everyone else's business but my own I stuck my big nose into the music bungalow, and lo and behold, I found a band rehears'a l. The band didn't sound very full and it was obvious why; there were no trumpets. Mr. Vogel, music department head, explained that somehow, through the process of enrollment, most of the trumpet players vanished; net result, one band without trumpets . While talking the situation over with a number of innocent bystanders, I developed the following impressions: Mr. Q. Ballin Kornerpoket says: I admit that the college is small and that many of the better mu sicians are somewhere else; but we do have quite a representation of -musicians from surrounding communitie5 here and, although the brass (trumpet thaf is) is lacking, Palomar does have the makings or a very gcod band . An-:.l Mrs. T. Baggen Koffeekup SCiys: Of course under the very a 1)le directorship of Mr. Vogel I arn rather inclined to believe that with a slightly larger enrollment tl1e college can pr~duce a very able group. And Mr. Vogel says: Of course that depends on the quantity and qJality of the musicians enrolled. During the next semester the · band will hold the spotlight, with its spring concerts and so forth . t-.1r. Vogel expressed his deepest regrets that it was impossible to bring the present group out for football games; but, as he said, "If something is worth doing it' s worth doing right."
