Rod Bull Places In Invitational Cross Country Meet Rod Bull, Palomar freshman, entered the San Diego Invitational Cross Country Meet . last wePk end. Running the 5.2 mile course against crack teams from U.C.L.A., U.S.C., Loyola, Pepperdine, Orange Coast, L.A.C.C. and the first and second teams from San Diego. State, Rod placed 21st. Palomar is proud of one of its students who made such a creditable bowing in such stiff competition.
Palomar College may be able to play its games on its own diamond this year if plans begun at the Student Council meeting Monday, Nov. 21, are carried to successful completion. At that time the idea was presented before the council that the students of the college unite, especially in view of the recent unsuccessful bond election, and take it upon themselves to begin work on the athletic facilities so desperately needed for the morale and existence of the college. The tentative plans which must first gain the approval of the Governing Board of the Collpge, are to construct a regulation baseball field and possibly begin a football field on thP nPW college site at San Marcos. The e facilities would all be laid out in conformity with the master plans for the college as designed by architPct Richard J. Neutra. P lans to carry through the idea and organization of the students will take placp at the student a:; em bly tu be lLPhl tomorrow. Equipm ent N eeded
T he building of the propo ed athlPtic fields is an attractive idea but one which will take the full cooperation and wholeheartPd effort of the student body. It will mean the donations of work hour. and Pquipment. The organization of the work is being done by Bill Blacklidge and Norman Kettering. Any studPnt that has or know of any person who owns any of the following equipment and is willing to donate its use to the college for one clay should contact them. Needed are trucks, tractors, with or without dozer blade, scrapers, rippPrs, graders, and any other type of earthmoving equipment. President Calls for Unity ·
Norman Kettering, student body president, ca lled upon the entire student body to put its efforts behind the new plans. He said, '' This is a student p r oject and the cooperation of all the students is going to be the big factor in whether it is a success or not. We, our selves, must be willing to show t he people of the district that we have faith in the future of the college and are willing to work for it. If you can contribute nothing except a shovel and a willing back, that is enough. We intend to have a baseball diamond to be used this season and, if possible, a football field of our own to eliminate the necessity of playing in neighboring high chool fields. '' Student Groups Rally
Ideas for the project brought forth an immediate enthusiastic response f r om Ed J o h n s on peaking as president of the (Continued on Page Four)

Five Cents
Now you see it . . Now you don'tA rather surprised and a mor e than a little perplexed ar t professor spnt a considerable amount of t ime searching the campus for a small green (Char treuse) object slightly resembling an automobile. For some time Mr . H eavenrich, Mr. H ildreth and their bet ter halves looked for the err ant Simca. At last Mr s. H eavenrich went into the art classroom for some other materials and ther e, in the middle of the floor, was the truant. Many of the jokest ers involved went in to see if the car was still ther e. If they had expected to annoy the art professor, they wer e sadly disappointed. There sat the Simca but still with one slight difference. A sign had been added. It r ead as follows:

Do WE want an annual? How are we going to have an annual with thirtythree paid subscriptions? In order to have an annual we've got to have at least one hundred and fifty down. payments. The down payments must all be in by today or we don't have an annual. What a start we've made! At the last annual assembly, about eighty students agreed to take out subscriptions, but words aren't enough-we need your two dollars fast! There has been a sign with red printing at the book store--a big sign, but people seem to be color blind. It says, in. case you don't know, "ANNUALS -TWO DOLLARS". The 1950 Mirror will cost only FOUR Dollars. Reserve yours with a two dollar deposit TODAY! { 4 - --

''The Show Goes On" as Palomar Players Perform P lagued by bad luck on the night of the op ening p erformance last W ednesday, Nov. 23, the Palomar Players, true to the t r aditions of the theater '' went on with the show" and tonight f infsh their three night run of 'Night Must F all " in the Vista Theatre. One of the worst fogs in the history of the ar ea blanket ed the Vista area last Wednesday making driving, and even walking, so uncertain arid dangerous that few ventured out of doors. The fog plus hte loss of two of the principals of the pl.ay due to sickness failed t o damper the spirits of the cast , and the hardy audience of approximately 60 spect ators who braved the elements wer e well r epaid f or their attendance. "Night Must F all " lived up to its advanced billings as a shuddery m yste r y or tragicomedy. The per formance of Bob Downing in the leading role of '' Danny'' was worth the price of admission by itself . H is portrayal of the homicidal schizophrenic b r o u g h t for th chills, and shudder y chuckles, and resou nding applause at the final curtain. St?·ong Supporting Cast Excellt-nt support was offer ed by the other members of the cast. Cathy Burt in the role of the aged victim gave .a subdued and convincing por trayal of a hypochondriacal old woman. Her underplaying of the role added strength to her characterization. Betty Nichols, substitu ting for Wanda Castellani. who is ill, performed brilliantly in the small part of the seduced maid. Comic relief was offered by Charlen F if ield in the part of Mrs. Terrence, the cook. Her portrayal of the gossipy and tart-tonguPd domestic proved a perfect foil for the crotchety nagging of Cathy Burt as Mrs. Bramson. Donna Dysart, J.D. Williams, P E'ggy Griffith and Albert Hans played well the roles of Olivia, Hubert, the Nurse, and the Inspector. Hans, in the role of a bore provided some laughs for the onlookers. Dick Petersen, t oo, was ill on opening night and the part of the Chief Justice was omitted. Curtain t ime is 8 :15 p .m. {4·- --
