Palomar Patrons Hold Pink Elephant Sale at San Marcos Community Center "A white elephant is what nobody wants, but everyone wishes to have a pink elephant." That is the theory behind the Pink Elephant sale, sponsored by the Palomar Patrons, to be held at the Community Center at San Marcos on Friday and Saturday, March 24 and 25, in support of a student-aid fund which provides funds frr needy students and assists in other needed projects. Doors will be open from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. both days. As an added "extra", the Patrons, under the direction of Mrs. Fred Van Sicklen, Rancho Santa Fe, general chairman, and Mrs. Sam Heavenrich, Vista, as co-chairman, have arranged for a "baby sitter." The sitter-a donkey-supplied by Mr. and Mrs. George Toll. Rides are to be given for a dime each. Also, made-on-the-spot doughnuts are to be supplied. Everything imaginable is to be sold-from baked goods and books to electric appliances and furniture. All pink elephants are to be i.n their own separate section-in the manner of a department store. This method of sale will eliminate confusion and should make sales faster. With the purchase of each dollar's worth of pink elephants, a ticket for the prize-drawing will be given. Among other wonderful prizes are an automobile and a vacuum cleaner.
Receiving Stations Stations to receive pink elephants have been established at: Wayp1an & Sons, Fallbrook; Boyle & Son, Escondido and San Marcos ; the old Post Office building, Vista, and in Oceanside telephone ·Mrs. Adolph Heyne, 2855.

Frosh Elect Lonnie Lopez As President Freshman elections were held Thursday, March 9, in the Student Lounge. Elected was a successor to Bob Ponton, retiring class president and a frosh representative on the Student Council to take over the position vacated by Cathy Burt who was a p p o i n t e d Commissioner of Women's Affairs. T.~onnie
Lopez
Voted in as head man of the class was Lonnie Lopez, mighty mite from Coachella. Lonnie, who completed his high school studies at Palomar last semester, has been one of the athletic mainstays of the college. He was one of the ''iron men'' of the last year's football squad and is now playing steady ball on the baseball squad. Buddy Standerfer was, at the same time, elected to the post of frosh representative to the Student Council. Buddy, like Lonnie, was a standout on the footb~ll squad. In addition to his athletic abilities, Buddy is a very able scholar as his attaining the scholastic honor roll last semester will bear out.
