Tonight is the night of nights. The time has finally come for that crazy, nutty dance, the surrealistic ball sponsored by our own imagination crazed Palomar Thespians. At 9:00, the players will open the doors of the Community Center to some of the most out-of-this-world creatures (we hope) ever to walk the campus. Mr. Kelley and his staff hope to put Salvador Dali's thoughts to use every year and make this an annual affair. (Cut by Maxine Crafts)
Palomar Players Sponsor Crazy Surrealistic Dance; Affair at Community Center Tonight if you see objects ambling about wearing an extra arm or head or two, don't worry. You're still sane! These queer creatures are sure to be almost harmless-being students of Palomar College attending the Surrealist Dance sponsored by th e Palomar Players.

Dean Dorothy Babcock traveled to Santa Ana on Feb. l.J. to attend a meeting of the Comm itt <:>e on G<:>nPral Education for Sonth<:>rn California. 'l'he meeting was concernPd with plans for the revision of the program of general edu cation in junior colleges. The Carnegie Foundation has given a g r·ant of $30,000 for this study. R esults of this meeting and others may have a definite effect upon Palomar College and its program of courses in future years. Among the notables attending the meeting were Dr. Daniel C. McNaughton of Santa Ana College (formerly of Palomar College ), Dr. John L. Lounsbury of San B<:>rnardino Valley College, and Dr. James Thornton of Orange Coast College, chairman of the Committee of General Educ11tion.

For the most fantastic, grotf'sque or weird costume worn by a man or a \voman , prizes are to be awa rded. There is also to be a token for the couple who best carry out the surrealist theme. Mr. Arthur K elley's drama g-roup has successfully k ept the decorations secret, but have promised that they will be wild - really wild. Although anything one's twisted, tormented mind can create is th ultra, one could come as a studious student; that, too, would be out of this world. For la t minute suggestions, a look at the surrealistart displayed in the art de~rtment might be fruitful.

" I see more with my eyes closed than with my eyes open,'' once stated Salvador Dali, one of the foremost surrealistic artists. Surrealistic art is a fantastic, "scr<:>wball" form of art embodying distortion or exaggeration of objects, the purpose of which is to shock or surprise the viewer. The arti t achieve. by di<>tortion of objects, especially the human body, exaggerated p<:>rspectivP, or the combination of unrelated images, a visible pxpression of his own imagination.
