Vista, California, W~dn e s day , February II, 1949

New President Chosen By Palomar Associated Students J im Marshall was unanimously e lected student body president , and three posts in the student counc il were filled as the result of two elections held by the Associa t ed Student Body during t he last week in February.

The special election for president was held to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Ray Kerby who had served during the f irst semester. Since the other proposed candidates dec lined , Marshall was the on ly one on the ballot .

The first balloting was held to select three members-at-large to t he student council and took place several days prior to the presidential election. Those elected were Gilbert Gillogly, Tom Canady and Norman Kettering. Also in the running were Bob Hitt and Walt Tow ne .

Acco rding to t he constitution, the th ree members at large must be elected eac h semester and in t hi s case a new president had to be elected within 15 days after t he resignation of the old one.

C a nd idates are put in nominatio n by subm itting a petition to t hat effect to the st udent body signed by at least I 0 per cent of the

ASB President Jim Marshall student body members.

Since hi s election, Mars ha ll we nt right to work organizing t he counci l and delegating respons ibilities for the coming semester and seems to be proving himself an energetic president. Mars ha ll, a war vet e ran as are many othe r st ude nts, is from Escondido and d rives t he colContinued on Page 6

New President Ontlines A Program Th is editorial affords me a chance to express my thanks as well as my humility for I rea lize the responsibility t hat comes with t h ~ job of stu denht body president. I hope to cause as few errors as poss1ble and as many social eve nts as possib!e. . .

Th is is also c hance to explam a l1ttle of what I a nd the cou ncd hope to acco mp li sh by J une. . .

Our first majo r aim is to get as many students 1nto the runnmg of t hings as possible, the old theory that two hea~s are b~tt~r _+han one. If everyone does something, ~ore get~ do~e w1th less ,'nd_,vidual effort.

We all have a special talent 1n some dJrectJon-well, lets f,~d a plac_e for it-o r c reate noe. We all want more dances, some assembl 1es, part ieslet's all get in and pitch to bring it about.. . .

Along this line develops our second, a1m-go~d organ1za~Jon. We must have good organization, so we wont waste t1me wondermg w~at goes on. Now, where do I go for this or who do I see! Accomp_any1ng t his article you'll find a list of council mem?ers and some o~ the_1r 1,0b~.

Naturally you wdl be prosecuted to t he fullest extent of the law if anyone gets hurt, but the main thing is to get things done! . .

W e hope to develop good public relations and foster 1nterest 1n what Pa lomar is and does. This is important because Palomar (ourselves) is, o r can be, an important part of our community . G?od public_re lations can help us immeasurably, socially as well as academically, a_nd ,f p_eople like us we can expect to grow, prosper-perhaps get our p1cture 1n the

pape~ere too we want to have first classifications with other colleges, fo r other co lleges are more than just teams we play occasionally. Their are th ere students like ourselves who are putting on dances and lea rning how to live. Good work in this field can bring us also a fuller college life in the form of new ideas-coordinated effort and more fun!

Right here close to home we want a richer, faster pace in the stude nt activities area. There are three counci l members here because it is the main immediate objective. Dances, parties, assemblies-all sorts of t hi ngs are possible here to cause, to say the least, gleams of joy.

He re's where we want the joint to jump. Here's wh~re we want ·rhe greatest number to participate; here's where we make our break ourselves.

Next come student publications-and I might say that the Polecat th at came ou t Friday for the first time is a welcome addition to the setup. If we knew who the Phantom Editor wa_s, v.:e'd like to shake h~s hand for in itiative and planning. In student pubiJcatJons we want to brmg the mirro r out in first class shape, keep the telescope up to snuff and on schedule-and foster the Polecat. To keep them all an efficient medium and e njoyable reading.

W ell, that's about t he size of it except that we, the council , can't do this alone-we must have your help and interest. So get in on some of t hese departments where you can do yourself and ourselves the most good-let's pull together to create a more exciting college life-for ou rse lves!

Gillogly, who was one of six contestants to speak to the 125 spectators, had as his theme, "The Julian Gold Rush of 1869." In his well organized and humorously handled talk, Gillogly stressed the great importance of the ten year period of ·rhe gold rush in the development of San Diego County. Said Gillogly, "At one election only a three vote margin kept Julian from becoming the seat of San Diego County."

PALOMAR BASEBALL PROSPECTS RATED Dan Cupid dropped in on ·:-he Palomar campus Valentines Day only to find that he had to play. seond fiddle to Jim Casey as he saw baseballs flying all over ·:·he local field.

Twenty hopeful baseball aspirants reported on Monday for i·he initial workout and by the look in Coach Harper's eyes, this year's nine will settle for nothing less than top billing in the newly established South Central League, of which Palomar is a member.

Helping out the six returning lettermen from last year's squad will be a group of former local high school standouts plus a couple of ex-Gis with previous experience.

While this season's team may not be stronger than last year's, it will be better balanced all around.

Pitching, which was a problem last year because of the lack of hurlers, will be stronger this spring with ·the presence of three or four pitchers of almost equal caliber.

Almost certain to see plenty of action this season will be ·rhe six returning lettermen with Clint Smith, Hal Standerfer and Lee Anderson playing out in the fielder's spot and Donovan O'Niell at third base. Bob Clarno, who was voted the team's most valuable player award last year, will be at second base, and Jack Clarno as catcher. Supporting this lineup will be a strong group of freshmen led

by John Hall, former Vista High standout at first base, Dick Smith at shortstop, Don Blake. second baseman, Harvey Dale catcher, and pitchers Tom Canady, Marvin Brewer, Bernie Pelsma and Jim Hodges. Rounding out the squad are Dick Nelson, Norman Buckner, Rodger Cole, Mike Dewart and Con~nued on Page 6

"The expenditure of such money as is now proposed for ·the ·:·e mporary relocation of Paloma.r College would be a waste of public funds," said John Brannigan of ·ihe California State Board of Education housing division in reporting to the Governing Board of ·:-he college Tuesday night.

Brannigan and Charles Bu rc h, who have been making a survey of proposed sites of the college, disaproved of a temporary site offered by Fallbrook interests, as we ll as the Engel airport outside Escondido. Said Brannigan in citing ·:·he low salvage possibilities and lack of san itary facilities of ·:·emporary sites to the 250 spectators and board members at the regular meeting of the Palomar board in Vista High school cafeteria , "On ly under extreme emergency can t he State board approve of ·remporary location of public schools."

Dr. Dan C McNaughton, who also went on record as strong ly against the plan, answered q uestions concerning State app rova l by saying, "While we as a J C a re not wholly supported by stat e funds we do receive some money from that source."

The Palomar College Gove rning board , cha irmaned by Earnest N .

Stafford, and with members Frood Smith, Dr . J . D. Adkins, Albert Chamness and Lyman Thompson present, met at the regular sessio n to further investigate the poss ib ilities of moving t he college to a temporary site. As part of t he ir deliberations, a report by J. C ., Paderewsky, who had been engaged by the board to study t he Engel property ·For reconversio n, was presented. · Paderewsky, who said that approximately 20,000 additiona l square feet of new bulid ing space would be needed to fit the site for the school on a tempora ry basis, quoted approxima t e fig ures totaling $68,680. The break dow n of the total figured a $2200 item for moving present buldings owned by the college , $47, 100 for classrooms, kitc hen and shop ; $ 1500 for septic tank, $77 50 fo r remodeling old bu ildings, $2500 for parking area surfacing, $3 000 for drainage co ntro l and $4800 for tennis courts.

Beachcombers Ball Success of Year By far the best dance of i· he season was the Beach Combe r's Ball held in the new Carpent e rs Union Hall. There wa5 more ·:·urn out for this dance than any other this year.

There were scads of stags a nd beaucoup of couples. Among t he better knowns were Lee and Lo is, Jim and Josie, Jerry and Jonsie , Ed Barrett and his future, and t he ever popular Mike Firetto wi th his girl. Of course there were ma ny more like Jim Hubb le and Ma ry Rubio, Wayne and Berry!

Ben goes to Cal-Poly Citrus Agricultural school at San Dimas. Ben tells us of the tragic results of receiving a box of home baked cookies set him by luscious Carol Wilson only last week. Ben passed the cookies around to some other men in his class and when the box got back to him even the crumbs .had been licked up.

And then too, there was _the week-end night +.hat Ben came in shortly after midnight and father Hillebrecht, watch in hand, began the usual parental admonition about boys who kept young ladies out till all hours.

Father Hillebrecht went to bed with good resolves to let the younger generation settle its own problems in the future.

BRON JULIAN DIES A sudden, fatal attack of croup took the life Sunday morning of the son of English instructor William Julian. The 7-year-old boy, Bron, who had traveled with his parents Saturday to the San Bernardino Orange Show, took sick at I I p.m. after their return to Vista.

Artificial respiration was given by the father. The Vista fire department, under the guidance of a physician, tried to administer oxygen, but the boy succumbed at 3 a.m. Sunday.

William Julian, English instructor at Palomar College, since the establishment of the school, said the funeral was held in a Long Beach, California mortuary on Tuesday, March 15, 1949, at I0 a.m.

Charles Coutts, head of i·he teachers group of which Julian is a member, announced that the Palomar faculty, at the request of the Julian family, was sending a "Care" package to Europe in lieu of flowers to the funeral.

The sincerest sympathy of everyone connected with the college goes to Mr. and Mrs. Julian m the loss of Bron, an only child.

DOROTHY BABCOCK DR. OF PHILOSOPHY HAS SECRET VICE With what we are pleased to call a diabolical cunning, we have tracked down some of the mysteries surrounding Dr. Dorothy B. Babcock. We have come away awed by the manifold facets to the educator's charader. Dr. Babcock collects owls. She has whole cabinets full of them. Some are ceramics (just anothet· name for pottery); and she has wooden owls.

There are glass owls and brass owls and clay owls and big owls and little owls and wide owls and tall owls.

And not only does Dr. Babcock collect owls; she has other ambitions too. She wants to go on a bicycle trip +through England some summer. Imagine a Dean of women peddling her way past a school without stopping for just a looksee. Imagine a dean of women being able to pass a stray youngster on the street during school hours without asking, "Young lady, why aren't you in school?"

At any rate we will wager that those bright brown eyes and wavy brown hair will be sparkling under the English sun one of these days and husband, ames, will be puffing right along side her too.

Dr. Babcock came to Palomar only this year from Purdue University where she directed the Liberal Science department for 8 years.

Before that Dr. Babcock taught at Billings, Montana, before going to the University of Minnesota where she got her doctorate and was supervisor of student teaching.

Dr. Babcock reports she has enjoyed her stay at Palomar and hopes to save enough to buy a bicycle soon.

Dean Babcock was recently notified by the publishers of Who's Who in America that she is to be included among those listed in the next edition which is now being compiled.

Why Go To Co-llege?

Vets Ask, Here's Why! In general it is safe to say that the school is doing a fine job with the vets. There is a decrease in institutionals and apprentice carpenters to the tune 9 plus 5 or 14, but with a gain of 15 in the agricultural classet. Net profit, I student. The agriculture department plays an important part in this particular area because of the citrus and avocado groves so we welcome the prospects of large agricultural classes.

The general reason that the average veteran attends Palomar, or any college for that matter, is to get a better education. The veteran has seen through actual experience just how much an education can help in life. He realizes that a person without at least the elementary education of the first two years of college hasn't a very good chance of success in this com- \ petitive world of today.

The general conception of higher education, in this case being college, is a state of mind deve loped to the point of being above normal intelligence or aptitude, thereby ' the educated person would by all means have an advantage over the person of lesser education.

Making the trip as part of the class instruction were Lora Lee Todd, Jeanette F_ischer, Lou is Schneider, Ray Gootgeld, Ronald Joel, Dick Peterson, Jack Riesland, Manual Spenz, and Bill Montgomery. Instructor Stevenson and Ray Gootgeld furnished the t ransportation.

Wal t e r Towne announced t he completion of his plans for the Student council dance to be held in the Vista Women's Clubhouse next Saturday.

Bennie Wade and Andy Wikholm were making the rounds of +he loca l hig h schools to invite seniors to the la-de-da. Fo r bonafide high school seniors the dance would be SOc per couple, but for college students there would be the nominal one buck, stag or drag. Decorations wo uld be in t he "beachcombers" motif.

The f ina l item on t he agenda of the board was a red istricting proposa l presented i.n letter form by 'County Legal Advisor, Carroll Smith. The surprising conditions of the redistricting called for the resigna t ion of all me mbers of i·he board to be in the hands of i·he county superintendent of schools, John C.

MORE TELESCOPE With no attempt whatever to rival our esteemed contemporary, The Palomar Polecat, The Palomar Telescope will henceforth, until June do us part, be published every two weeks, rather than each three weeks, as in the first semester, or as each four or five weeks as circumstances " beyond our control" have dictated thus far in t he second semester.

Severa I restricting factors, such as adequate f inancing, authority fro m the administration and council, have been resolved favorably so that what was an early ambition of The Telescope staff-publication every two weeks-may now be realized.

The Telescope's won 't be so large, no need to be with more frequent issues. Four pages each two weeks will enable us to make our material more timely and we hope more interesting and helpful.

You will find several new features added in these forthcoming Tel escopes-new names on the staff, new departments added, althoug h the paper itself will be fewer pages and, again we hope, more than somewhat sharpened up.

New contributors and fresh viewpoints wi ll be welcomed. Anyone is eligbile to write for The Telescope, either regularly or sporadically. Simply talk it over with anyone on the staff.

VISTA PUBLISHER TALKS TO BUSINESS CLASS

GfJIJIJy, GtfJIJIJy fJnd SmfJDfiJie EDITOR'S NOTE: The Palomar Telescope, resuming the practice begun in earlier issues, herewith presents another article on the American College scene.

The typ ica l college man wi ll be the subject for discussion in this issue of the Te lescope. We do not pretend to know all men, ·~ he ir habits, their likes or dislikes. As a matter of conve nience we have eliminated much that the male college student thinks, feels, what he eats a nd how he dresses. There is no denying that our college man can run faster, jump fart he r, eat heartier and be more boisterous than the co llege stude nt of other races. He also o utnumbers the girls in American colleges these days by almost two to one. This last point makes him a little bit hard to get. This fact a lso gives us a hook on which to hang our story namely, his lovelife.

In order to get a clear picture we get the woman's viewpoint in the matter. Investigatio n shows that most women p lace men in three ca tegories, t o wit, the gabby kind , the grabby kind, and the smoothy. We shall take these three types up in order.

To most girls " Grab by " is t he easiest one to spot. He has seven pairs of hands; roving, groping, pawing, ham-like hands . It would be easy t o cope with suc h an individual if Grabby kept his hands in repose some of the time. His greatest dereliction is in hi s sly a nd stea lthy movements. Grabby never see ms relaxed. His fourteen -hands are constantly wandering in an unpleasant manner. Grab by makes him se lf very obnoxious in a very short time, a very short time indeed. Grabby is a very busy man

most of the time and most of his activities are involved in finding new girl friends.

And t hen there is Gabby. Now Gabby is a somewhat harmless sort of biped. His greatest sin is his big mouth. Gabby is the sort of guy who blats out his displeasures at the car hop who isn 't fast enough. He is the one who talks loudly and long in a movie; and women, other than the one he is escorting, get short shift of his courtesy. Gabby is rea~ly not a bad sort of guy at all. He just has a lot of spirit that has yet ·i-o be coordinated. And ·~hen ·roo, Gabby will kiss and tell. Gabby also has women troubles of a sort, he is constantly looking for new fields to conquer.

Now we come to Smoothy, ~he most dangerous type of all. He is dangerous because he is ; so harmless. Smoothy has on ly one set of hands and he keeps them to himself. Smoothy has only a normal sized mouth and he is even a little afraid of car hops and says 'Yes Ma'am" and "No Ma 'am " when they ask him to "wait a minute."

Smoothy will hold hands in 'rhe show, but quietly. As a matter of fact this is where Smoothy's little game of hearts begins to take shape . Smoothy would never be so crud e as to ask for a goodnight kiss the first time on the tract; oh ho, not Smoothy. Smoothy will hold hands and be a little bit romantic. He will not drive up ·~o the door and honk the horn, not Mr. Smoothy. Smoothy will go right up to the door and ring the bell.

Smoothy will ply his artfullness in making the girl feel she is conferring a great honor by being his co mpan ion . Th en , what happens after Goldy Locks gets this sly treatment for half a dozen dates?

Well, it's just this . Goldy Locks feels that this man, somehow, has something she has seldom seen before. But Goldy Locks is baffled no little bit by the fact that Smoothy has not even tried to kiss her. Now a harm less little kiss wouldn't hurt anyone and furthermore Smoothy deserves a kiss for the little rose he brings with him.

But Smoothy still persists in his

Palomar College's class in Business Administration was host Monday evening of this week to M. Z. Rem sburg, Manager of the Vista Press, who recounted his expe riences in the newspaper business . According to In structor George B. Toil much interest' was manifest among the students in the sidelights Remsburg was able to throw on the locale and history of such places as Winchester, where , in 1892, he began his apprenticeship as a "printers' devil," which wa s foll o wed by employment in vario us capacities from helper t o editor and publisher in Ocean side, Hemet, Hollister, San J ac into , Corona, Lodi, Escondido, and Vista. ' Intere sting comparisions were made between the problems of the sma ll town weekly and the metro po li ta n daily, particularly with refere nce to news gathering and reporting. The ta lk was in line with studies made by class members in the field of advertising and public ity according to Instructor Toil wh o points out that the most rec ent yea r for which figures are co mpletel y available, the newspapers of the country did about 3 I pe rcent of the advertising of a ll fo rm s, in amount about 694 millio ns of dollars worth, or about twice the amount in dollars and percentages spent -on all forms of radio advertising. standoffishness. Then Goldy Locks begins to have a ghastly notion that Smoothy doesn't want to kiss her. This is too, too dreadful to contemplate even for a minute, but the idea does stick and grow and Goldy gets just a bit panicky.

From this point on Smoothy has won his battle. From the moment Goldy wants to be kissed 1·he n Smoothy is Mr. Big, no less. This is phase one of the b a t t I e of hearts, that is really a battle of wits. When Smoothy has set certain standards, he must maintain them if phase two is to be successful. There is still dange r that he will become a Grabby or a Gabby, thrown off balance by his success , but he can, with care and persistance, train Goldy t o be a loving and charm ing companio n.

TRACK TEAM TRIES SPIKES FOR 1949 With his baseball team well un der way, Coach Hueston Harper has his starting gun poised for t he opening of track season at the end of March. There have been a dozen contenders rubbing the olive oil into their early seaso n stiffened muscles this week.

Led by Bob Hitt, who la st season, along with Stan Forstner was voted outstanding track man , was again topping the pole vault at 12 feet . Ray Farris was a contestant in the sprints along with " Bu sher" Bennie Wade. Dick Smith, a former Escondido High boy is busy with his first love, baseball, right now but will be out later to i·op the low hurdles for the Comets.

Stan Maag is practicing ·:-he big jump this year and already is nearing 28 feet as a broad jumper.

Travis Bagwell is •a contende r in the quarter mile, the toughest race of them all. Bill Bowers, Mike Firetto and "Two Bottle" Ed Wiley are heaving the discus. Old Mr. Sc hool Spirit himself, Dick Brenan, will run the half mile for Paloma r in the coming season .

While Coach Harper has not la id out a schedule of meets i·h is sea son some of the athletes will compete in the Fresno Relays a nd other big time meets. In la st year's competit ion, '.'Sea Going" Bob Hitt did right well by Palo mar by placing in the Na'tional JC finals at Phoenix, Arizona.

As the season progresses mo re men are expected to hit the cinder path with the old college 1-ry.

There is room for g J od men in all branches of the sport and prospects will be welcome.

Marines Tram pled

By P.J.C. Comets The flaming red ha ir of pitcher Tom Canady set the Palo mar College baseball team afire at Esco ndido's Finney Field, March 3, as the Comets downed the Camp Pend leton Marines 7-5. Can ady, who started this first game of Palomar's ball season, never let a man reach first base in the three innings he was o n the mo und.

Coach Hueston Harper of Palomar switched to Jim Hodges in the fourth to try out anot her of his hurling staff. Jim was not as lucky and gave up 4 runs. With the score at 4-3 in favor of the Marines, Bernie Pelsma took over and allowed only two hits and one run in his two innings. At the same time Palomar banged on the gates for 4 runs a nd the boys called it a day at the end of 7 innings.

The old bugaboo of Palo mar College, lack of a place to play, caused Coach Harper to cancel the March 7 game with Riverside on the local field, and the game was played at Riverside.

A'Riding We'll Go Most anything can be seen or heard on the Fallbrook Bus. Here are some tipical comments, happenings or what have you.

The night Hal Standerfer sat down next to Janie Sutton she put her arms around him for the trip home. Marion McAnear tells us that he is the only comedian on t he campus-tag No. 828. (Ed. note. Is that his Bellview No.?)

Many an afternoon can be spent liste ing to Mrs. Francis, Mrs. Coleman, Roger Cole and Don Rivers disc ussing their American I. class.

Bob Hitt made quite an impression when he climbed aboard with a short hair-cut and sans mustache.

A cookie to a doughnut Dottie Francis broke her qlasses when she made a mad dash for the front sea t of the bus where the heater is.

T's been told that Tom La Yaut has some new seat ocvers, nylon at that, on hi s Ford. We never know when we will pick up Mrs. Hertzinger or Laura Giovannini (alis Mrs?) on our detour.

Zorc Lutz was strugg ling madly with an enormous suitcase one evening . Her story was that she was just a rriving home from a week-end· in Los An geles, but, from the appeara nce of that trunk it looked like she had been one for a month.

Claudi ne (French.y) Ghika was overheard remarking that she didn't like the book "A High Wind In Jam aica" that she read for Engli sh.

Someone wanted to be sure that George River's name be recorded as (and I quote) Rockett , with two t's no less. Why? That' s a good question.

Bernie Pelsma looks kind a lost without his better half, but she rides the bus the better part of the time, soooo, we don't feel too bad.

We saw Gene "F" Bowlin in the library recently and in an exclusive interview we learned +hat he wanted to be certain his middle initial was used, consequently, Eugene F. Bowlin . · Ru sse l Yatnsdal and Bennie Wade have been riding the bus lately, Wh atsa matter Bennie, hitch-hikin g bad lately?

Overheard : Tom Brunwin told Janet Col e "Why I wouldn't name my son (when and if) Jack." That's one for th e books. Everyone watc hes out for AI Hans, Andy Ad ams, David Bond, Bob and Jack Clarno, David White, and Leo Leahy to see that they always make the bus. It would be a shame to leave them behind someday.

Last, but by all means not least, is our prodigious pilot Ed Pol luck.

Poor Ed worries and frets about everyone and without him the wheel of progress would cease turning-or at least the bus wheels.

BRIDGE GAMES GALORE If some day you run into the lounge out of the downpour of rain, and are rudely hit over the head with a table leg or someone drops off the rafters onto your shoulders, think nothing of it for the chances are that he was not aiming at you at all. It was probably meant for his partner who bid One Spade and then proceeded to make a Grand Slam.

At last enough intellectuals have come forward to form three bridge tables, that is to say there are enough people to form a sizable Bridge Club.

The need for such a Club is rapidly becoming apparent in the insistent requests of several students to be taught the game.

So come on some of you enterprising leaders of men, (and women too), let's get going. Find out the requirements for a club here on the campus, and take over from there.

(Ed. Note-Any student council member will gladly assist if sufficient enthu siasm for this type of club is shown!)

Slang, Or Ya Ain't Supposed io Say That.

Record Sling Disclosed As Ample

LET'S REPEAL THE LAW OF AVERAGES

Slang accord:ng to the dictionary, is informal words or phrases not permissible to use in formal or written language.

The following is a strong attempt at a generalized translation of some. local informal expressions.

It has been revealed by studious research that when Buster asks, "How about a drag bag?" of hi s dream girl, he is not asking for the lend of her cigarette for a few borowed gasps, he is extending an informal request for a date. Although nine times out of ·ren he has run short of gaspers.

11 perchance you are accused of taking measurements ·For your latest lid with the help of that "L" shaped carpenter's tool, do not be offended, you are not being called a blockhead, you're a square. A square, figuratively speaking , is one who looks both ways before crossing the street.

One little piece of informality that stumped this researcher for a while was fern, but not for long, it was found to be a contraction of another word. This astounding discovery came about in a very interesting way. One evening while completely absorbed in my cherished edition of (Advanced Fairy Tales for the Retarded Child) one of the passages reached out and struck me with the answer, it stated that some fellow had gone out to see k, and I use the contraction , his "fern" and fortune.

Squares are noted for finding humor only in their own puns, too!

As yet I am not prepared to break down far the laymen the meaning of ~wo more colloquialisms, "Drop dead and Get lost."

This I shall begin research on immediately because of its importance. Many of my friends have strongly urged me to personally take heed of them. ·

The record dance Friday nite was a big success, with Frankie Laine as the featured singer of the evening.

'Jonesy'' was back on two feet and she certainly hasn't forgotten how to dance. Ask Jerry Mattson.

Looks like we have a new couple.

Some of the usuals were there, including Linde and Herman, Lois and Lee, Dick and Lora Lee, C~ra Lee and Tom Canady, not to mention Betty Phillips and Jack Cooper. There was also ·rhe newly married couple Karen and Gene Hurd. Doris Montgomery and Ted Hofer were spending most of ·:·he dance together. Betty Johnson was escorted home by Mike Firetto.

One of our old students, J ack Stewart was there, and althoug h he said he didn't know anyone, he seemed to have a good time.

There were loads of Stags who were having a great time, both boys and girls.

Towards twelve the crowd thinned out and when came time for the buses to leave, everyone was tired and happy and not many could say they didn't have a wonderful time.

The law of averages generally or scientifically speaking, is 50-50.

But I sometimes wonder if +hat law hasn't been repea led. If you are taking an exam with ·ren hue and false questions, according i·o the law you should answer 5 correct if you are merely guessing.

You and I both know t hat very seldom does that ever happen 1o us. let's take +he Pyramid club as an example. There your law of averages means after so many nights of new members and you consequently moving closer ·ro the number one spot, you are in a position to win over four ·~housand dollars. But once gain that law fails to prove itself; for just prior to your eligibility for the "cabbage," the club fo lds because there is a lack of new members.

The law again states tha t there is a woman for every man. But when you find the one of your liking (if you are lucky enough) she always has her eyes on someone who is not interested in he r. The same fabulous law is supposed to apply to 'African Dominos.' But if you ever played the game you know what I mean when I say the law does prevail-for the other guy .

Thus I think there should be some congressional action to either enforce or legally repeal this lawfor that other guy.

Cohen On the Phone Allo, Allo? Who is dis? Central, you are giffink me number 4275 pliz. Denk y.ou . Allo, Allo? Vas is dis? Foi st National Benk? I vant to see da meneger. Vot?

TWASN'T HERE YESTERDAY 'Twasn't Here Yesterday."

Pat Murphy had just arrived from Ireland and was seeing the sights with his friend Mike 0'Donahue. They came to this extremely high building and Mike tells Pat; "That's the Woolworth building which they built in three years. Pat looks at Mike and says; "That ain't so wonderful, we got a building in Dublin just as big and we built it in two years." A little later they see the Chrysler building, and Mike tell s Pat t hat it took only 2 years to build that.

Pat tell s Mike that there is a building in Killarny just as big that only took 11f2 years to build. So they walk on and on when they come to the Empire State building. Pat turns to Mike and says, what's that one called. Mike just looked at it and said: I dunno, it wasn't here last night.

NEW ASB PRESIDENT Continued from Page I lege bus from there every day.

As it now stands, the eleven man council includes: Jim Marshall, president; Lee Anderson, vice president; Louise Gootgeld, secretary; Stan Cook, Treasurer; Dick Brenan, commissioner of men's affairs; Marilyn Smith, commissioner of women's affairs; and the three members at large, Gilbert Gillogly, Tom Canady, and Norman Kettering.

In the recent class meetings Walt Towne and Bill Bower were sleded cs '"P~"'~orn a;,d Freshman class representatives. Many other students not on the counci l have also been asked to help out.

Student representatives have been appointed to represent the college at the various service clubs in Vista, Fallbrook and Escondido.

Of approximately 280 eligible students only I IS are student body members and only 50 of them voted in the election for members at large. (Ed. Note: Wh at does this mean to you? )

SKIRTS BLOUSES DRESSES SWEATERS UNGERIE

SAGACIOUS CREVICES

Since the Petrillo ban has been lifted many mo.re fine and "out of this world" platters have been waxed by our favorite recording stars. From now on there should be plenty of good records +~ suit everyone's taste.

The old but fine standard, " Body and Soul " has been recorded by Gene Krupa's trio, which is shictly mellow. It features Gene Krupa on the drums, Charlie Ventura on the tenor sax, and old standby on the guitar.

Swooning is passe', but what else can you do when Billy Eckstine makes platter pleasantry like "Fools Rush In " and "Caravan."

These are two of Billy's greatest waxings.

Les Brown knows a good i·hing.

"Just One of Those Things" a stra ight instrumental, is an attempt to repeat the success of "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm," a~d is very nice. It features brass, with some excellent solos.

For the "be-bop" fans, ·:·he Norman Gantz, "Jazz at the Philharmonic" album offers fine mu sic for listening. Also the "Album of Modern Jazz," which demonstrates the various hopstyles of Coleman Hawkins , Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Clark, Benny Carter and others.

Frankie La ine gives a beautiful treatment to " Sweet Talk," a lovely, intimate son g that will soon be relea sed.

Something that is strictly on +he corny side, is Frank Sinatra 's "Sunflowe r. " Hi s tune is catching on , but fast!!

Different renditions of "How Hig h the Moon" have been recorded by Ziggy Ellman and Lionel "Pop" Hampton. If you like good dance jump tunes, latch on to either of them · ... they're good!!

It see ms that "A Fellow Needs a Girl" to go on that "Slow Boat to China" with him, so he picked a girl with " Hair of Gold, Eye s of Blue" and they sta rted. After they had sailed from "Avalon " she said, " I Wont Dance, Don't Ask Me," and he ~ aid, "I Can't Begin to Tell You How Much You Mean to Me. " After two choruses of that, she said "I Don't Care If It Rains AIJ Night."

When they arrived in " Santa Catalina" he said , · "One More Drea m and She's Mine" to which she answered, "Love Somebody."

After dancing "The Waltz You Saved For Me," she said, "You Were Only Foolin' ," and he said, " I Love You Since Heaven Knows When." After that it was just a "Serenade of the Bells" and they did a duet on "I'll Dance At .Your Wedding" and they lived happily ever after.
