Dean Babcock Attends Confab
Under the leadership of Mr. Adolf Heyne a new chapter of Alpha Gamma Sigma is being formed on Palomar's campus. The society is a State institution organized for the purpose of 1·ecognizi11g scholarship among .J. C. students. lts members hold the status eqniYalent of an honor ~tud('nt at a university. .\ t an elc,ction, April 13, in tilt' language room, offices for P::loJJwr·s C'h:1pter were filled .

Special honor was given to Raymond Beven, M a r g a r e t Francis and Norman Kette1:ing for maintaining an exceptionally high grade point average for at least tl1ree semesters. These students will automatica lly become permanent memhers of the organization. Not more than ten per cent of a gradu ating class is eli gible for this honor. It is a feather in Palomar's eap that so many students from our small student body are eligible for membership in Alpha Gamm2 Sigma. 1?·---Absent from her classes is Mrs. Nellie l\1<mchline, who underwent a major opt'ration at the Palomar Memorial Hospital in Escondido last Friday morning. lt is not expected that Mrs. Mauch line will return to school this semester. Everyone wishes th11t Mrs. Mauchline have the speediest of recoveries.
Highlight of this year's Fiesta, which this year serves to aid the impoverished student body, will be polo games played on both days of the Fiesta by

Knights Sponsor Pre-Fiesta Dance By now, everybody has ht'a rd of th e "mu ch-cat" dances that are sponsored by the Palomar Knights. Well, here is the straight dope. This time, you don't have to keep the "info" to yourself. Spread it around a little. Yes, you guessed it. The "Men of Chivalry" are giving another shindig. Since the Sock-Hop was such a huge .succes · in the student lounge, it will again be the scene of this next socia l affair, a PreFiesta dance. Contributions of 25 cents per person will once
again be accepted by Knight president, Ed Johnson. 'l'he ev<·Jting of the dance, April 29, everyone is supposed to come d res~ed in some way carrying out the F'iesta theme. Appropriate costumes would be a Span i.sh Don, a senorita, a prospector, a desC'rt-rat, 01· an Indian. An expected sight to observe will be the ao;Km'tment of beards and nnmtaches cultivated by the men of Palomar College. 'l'he women are also expected to wear flowers in their hair.
