In a conversation with Dr. Charles E. Stolz, chairman of the Vista Red Cross unit, the Telescope has learned of the urgent need in the Vista area for donations of blood. The war emergency is over but the need for blood in the Red Cross Barik has never lessened. Yet a month's campaign in the community newspapers has brought forth a response from only four donors, one of th~Sl', A~lita ~:rn~an of ralomar College. ''The Red Cross Blood Bank is 48 pints overdra>vn since May,'' said Dr. Stolz, ''and it must be brought back to its level, or every pint that the patient uses will cost him extra. We are now taking blood from other banks and they will suffer if we do not keep ours full. '' Will Help Groups
This call from the Red Cross should call forth an active response from the Palomar student body. Heee is an unrivalled opportunity of rendering· service to the needy. If a group of ten or more get together for the purpose of giving a blood donation, the Red Cross will provide transportation to San Diego where the blood unit is located. This is a fine opportunity for the Palomar College community to show its civicmindedness. Already volunteered are Dean Babcock, Ann Lyons and Mr. Villa. All others interested should contact Mr. Villa this week.

Another important point to be remembered is that the cost of the aTchitectural plans is no higher because of the selection of two top-flight architects. The total fee which can be paid to architects is limited by state law to 8 per cent of the total construction cost. This figure remains 8 per cent whether there be one architect or 20. The col• lege can deem itself most fortunate in being able to secure the services of Mr. Padereweski of San Diego and of Richard Neutra, one of the most famous modern architects in the world today, and a man considered tops in the field of low cost school construction.
Highway 78 'Exposed in Close Shave Students of the college can now see ahead when turning off Campus road onto Highway 78. Howard W.

Could Become Area Of Much Beauty
The approximately 140 acres covered by the college is in the midst of an otherwise arid region. The college campus could, by comparison, be-luxuriant and. beautiful for its agricultural caus eo£ the water available to it through inclusion in the Vista Irrigation District. It is hoped by everyone concerned, with good deal of rea·son, that once the college has the plant and facilities to make it physically attractive to young people and adults not only will the people of the area be proud to use it in increasing numbers but also other towns in northern San Diego County will see fit to join it. These could include Oceanside, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe, Julian, and Ramona. This would extend the boundaries of the district and give the area a tremendously larger valuation than the present assessed valuation of 34 mil-lion dollars. It is obvious that with this increased assessed valuation the tax rate would drop accordingly. Present Maintenance Costs Are Cited
A question has arisen as to whether or not the college can afford the cost of operating and maintaining such a large plant as has been proposed. The 194950 budget for operation and maintenance of plant at the temporary site of the Vista Community Center is $14,150 ($9,900 for operation and $4250 for maintenance.)
