MESSAGE FROM THE NEW ASB PRESIDENT I have been asked to make a public statement as to my plans for the ensuing school year. As you, the students of Palomar College know, a program without the support of the students is futile. Our athletic ·reams, dances, and other school activities could become self-supporting if we could be sure that 50 percent of the student body attend 'fhem. I ' e a 1iz:: ih a i the lack of our own campus with recreation facilities is a dehiment not o nly to athletics, but aso to seocial activities. By having more spirited election campaigns with speeches fro m all ca n:.l icl ares and with competitive assemblies put on by the clubs and classe s wi t h prizes for the best as~embly throughout the year we can Luild up the student interest so all our activities will be successful. I hope that I can carry on as ably as Jim Marshall has before me, a.:d spe aking fo r myse lf ancJ for the rest of 'fhe newly elected oft ice rs, v.r] wi:! c~ o our best to gove rn Palomar wisely and well. -NORMAN KETTER ING In th e recent elections these individuals were made respectively h o m leH to right Norman Kettering next year's A.S.B. president and Mary Rubio, Festival Queen. One comment made by sdmeone was, "Norm is gonna be a fine president ... Gee Mary has nice eyes ... "
