Greetings to the students Pal'omar Collee;e!

at

This new college year opens with high promise~ Our hopes run high because of many reasons. The physical equipment of the college has ,been greatly improved during the :sunnner and there is real ev3:denqe that before long the coliege will begin to h~ve t a beauty of whio,h ·we' can . a+l be proud. Mp.ch more! important than the improved physji.eal conditions is the quality of the new student bo~y. It is no reflection upon previous students that the freslunan class of t~1is yeaJ.'l is prohably the outstanding class ever to entev the coll~ge.

Hare and more of the fine ~young people in the several -· communities which contribute t<;> Palomar College have realized that ~ this is the college which can offer them most. The spirit (Cont. on page I

Because of an early ~eadline this week, the TELESCOPE Staff .regrets that Dean Bab.cock' s letter to the students can not be included in this issue. Her letter will appear next week. --Ed.

students who have not yet purchased their Associated student Body cards are reminded that they should make arranr.;ements to do so with Bill Tipton at their earliest convenience.

KARL SPAETII MUCH IMPRESSED BY THE J?TIIENDLINESS OF AEERICAN PEOPLE Among the many newly enrolled students at Palomar College is one nearly as new to the United States as he is to the College. ~

Karl Sprieth, who arrived in the United States from Germany last July, is presently enrolled in only one course at the college, one that would prdve most difficult to the average student under tne same circumstances.

He is t E\ki.i1S fre shrnan :~ngl i s}l.

Ten years ago ,Spaeth had one year•s instruction of one hour a week in Enelish. other than that, his contact with the language has been slicht~ However~ according to . Arthur Kelley, English department chnirman,Spaeth is receivinG extra attention and is keeping up with the recular English students i? gran.unar and compos:Ltion. .Hav&ng come to the United States to help relatives in San Bernadino build their home and to visit an uncle who is principal of a high school there, Spaeth now hopes to become an architect.

Ho holds papers as a 1nastor, cabinet maker.

At the age of 16 he wns drafted into I-Iitler' s army and, after two years of fighting as an enlisted man, he was sent to officer's training. In 1945, Spaeth, now a . lieutenant, was at the front fighting . against u.s. and French SenGalese ~orces. When it bee·ame apparent that the war was lost, his division disbanded.

But there is another esprit de corps, one that o~rer~o.oks the sophomore-freshman rivalry, one that makes ench college year unfor~ettable.

The many student social affairs planned for this year by A. s. B. President Bill Tipton will provide excell.ent opportunities for building this spirit.

students come from widely separated towns. Off campus we have little chance for me~ting those from other towns. Let's make use of student activities to have fun and · to become b~tter' accnaim.ted.

SVAETH STORY--cont.'d He and several of his comrades decided to surrender. At a nearby farm house they traded their uniforms for civilian clothes and then went to the Americans to g1ve themselves up. The Americans,who were not taking civilian :;::rei sonars, refused to allow them to surrender. Instead, they escorted Spaeth and his comrades home.

All would have been well had they not been informed against.

Without warning, the house in wnich they were staying was surrounded by Polish and Russian Eoldiers. Spaeth and his comrades were stripped of all belongings and sent to Ludwigsliafen prison camp, v.rhere over l, 000, 000 men were interned at the time ., The camp was so crowded that only half of the prisoners co~ld lie down to sleep at a time, th8 other half standing while waiting its turn.

Spaeth was finally transferred to ~n Ame ric~n officers' mess near Pa ris, where he did kitchen duty. Later, as a prisoner of war, he worked as a street cleaner by day and taught mathematics at an evening school in Rheims.

On Christmas ~ 1946 he was allowed to go home~

Rr the past three years Spaeth

tried m get to the United States.

Last July ll he arrived in this country.

The friendliness and helpfulness of the American · people amazed h7.m. The Hwide op~n spacesn im·pressed him more , ' contrasting greatly with the d~nse population in Europe. Spaeth also stated that the freedeom of speech and action to be fou~d here was hard to believe at first.

Palomar Colle~e in the past has had several students from abroad to whom English was a foreign language. But, taking advantage of the greater amount of attention a smaller college can give its students, they soon were on equal standing with others in all their classes.

(cont'd) of the students in the several student assemblies held thus far haa evidenced a great advance.

The m61nbers of tl1.e fine sophomore class and the n ew freshman class are. obvious:.y enthusiastic.

There is an indication of academic scholart:Jhip superior tD any-~ thing we have had in the past~ and there is a positive in~£ation of interest in student affairs such as we have never seen before ..· With such an excellent student body = and ra pid ly improving cacpu 3, this college is destined to soms great achievements this year.
