STUDENT PUBLICATION OF PALOMAR COLLEGE Vista, California, Tuesday, September 26, 1950
President Hildreth Sees Brilliant, Promising Future for Palomar College Many Problems Ahead But Staff, Students Accept Challenge By Dr. Elon Hildreth
A new year is beginning, and one which will add to the tradition and history of Palomar college. This is a year in which many adjustments will have to be made. For the first time, the college is established on its own campus. This is the year in which a beginning, which everyone has anticipated, can be made. Although we are housed in temporary quarters, and despite the fact that the campus is hardly prepared, it is hoped that the spirit of the college year will carry through. One day this campus will become a garden spot inN orthern San Diego County. The whole of the 133 acres will be landscaped; shrubs and lawn will enrich its beauty, experimental groves will grace the hillsides, a-nd permanent buildings will house its students. Until that time, there is much work to be done. The students of the college will have their part in the accomplishment. This year will be very much what the students want to make it. Under the fine leadersh ip of pres ident Ed Johnson, a student org·anization h as been set up. Mr. Jolmson a nd the student council have some well conside1·ed plans for the year. Student activities promise a full and enjoyable stu dent life. A new coach ha s bef'n chosen for the athl etic teams of (Continued on Page Four) -{;:{----

Fifteen acres are being improved for immediate u ~ e as the campus site. As a nucleus, around which colleg·e activities will swirl, ten buildings from Camp Elliott and twelve f r om the Vista Recreation Center, which have house ·l the college during the past year, have been moved to the new site for use during the present se~sion .
