Now that the bond issue election ie set, we have good reason to inform the people of this district what PJC really has to offer and what is being done here at the colle ge. We've been asked to have cards signed by the voters stating their "yes", "no", or indifferent opinion concerning the election, The cards may be acquired at the office.

It has been brought to my attention that the following activities are contrary to the emphasis of the democratic way of life, the development of an aggressive,intelligent serviceable citizen; the promotion of high scholarship; the development of leadership, personal development, and enduring friendships, righteousness, patriotism, justice and good will. The activities are: ping-pong, softball, chess,spelling, basketball, assemblies, football, debate, cribbage, and soccer.

I must, therefore wonder if chess, debate, and spelling do not promote high scholarship and intelligence; if football, basketball, softball, soccer and ping-pong do not develop leadership, personal development, enduring friendships, good WlLl and serviceable citizens who understand fair play; if assemblies donot contribute to the service of the school and intramural, intrasquad and intercollegiate activities do not promote any of the above--! then must leave you with one question: If this list does not, what Don John

PATRICIA DAMON interviewed on the value of a college education.

That students learn the how and why rather than the what of things during their training is very essential.

"Facts are soon forgotten, often in the length of time it takes to walk out of a classroom," continued the teacher. "An exposure to the learning and thinking of the world enriches the individual and makes of him an inquiring and thinking person, and such a person can always find the facts when he needs ·them."

She began here last fall.

Everest Ascent

Is Vividly Told

BY MRS. NESBIN One of the recent acquisitions in the library is a book which will appeal to all who have a spirit of adventure and romance.

The Conquest of Everest -oy Sir John ~nt tells the story of the final and successful assult of that great peak which has withstood so many attempts to scaleit.

Mount Everest, 29,002feet high, has been the goal of many missions.

The first, in 1921, was followed by eleven major expeditions which added to the fund of knowledge about the mountain and its difficulties.

The Conquest of Everest beg1ns with an acc0u!it01' the preparations for the climb, the choosing of the tean, the selection of clothing, food and oxygen equipment and a sketch of previous attenp ts and theii• invaluable aid. The book continues with the arrival in Nepal, assembling the porters, organizing the trek to the mountain and the selection of native guides.

After three weeks spent in training and acclimatizing to high altitudes, the actual climb was begun.

Nine camps were established: from number one at 17,900 feet to number nine at 27,900 feet.

The two assaults of the peak are described in detail, the first by Evans and Bourdillon whoreached a height of 28,700 feet and were forced to turn back and the final successful climb by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing on · May 29, 1952, told by Sir Hillary himself. Adding to the intense interest of thebook are the beautiful photographs, eight in color and 48 in black and white which document the climb.

The outstanding characteristic of the book is the harmony and cooperation evidenced by all members of the party of 15 who worked as a team and unselfishly did their part so that two of their number might reach the top. Above all, The Conquest £! Everest shows that in addition to oxygen, equipment and good planning, it takes aspiritual power to drive the body beyond the point of endurance to achieve a great goal.

CLUB NEWS Beware, competitors for the workday plaque, the Knights are completing three top projects.

They include: liming the "P", painting the newly erected quanset unit, and painting the college pickup.

A tradition is seemingly being started here at Palomar as the Knights are once again ushering for the current drama production, "An Inspector Calls." The Knights have previously ushered for "Our Townr', and "The Male Animal."

The club's annual spring outing will take place sometime during April and will be in the form of a snow party.

Several projects for the coming workday have been selected by the Circle K Club. Purpose

SPORTSC0 PE

I can't help but feel a little sorry for track coach Bob Bowman. He has a wealth of material on the campus, but lack of student interest may kill all hopes of a winning team.

Track is a major sport throughout the country and is especially popular in this state. In high school, coaches neverhave any trouble getting out all possible material, yet, on our own junior college campus, we have to beg the prospects to turn out.

At the present, the track team is in sadshape with only a handful of good men out, Those who are running to get in shape for the coming track meets are sincere in their efforts, butit•s a shame there are so few, We have a number of fine high school trackmen at Palomar: A top miler who placed first in the all Metropolitan League track meet, a hurdler who picked up some vital points for Escondido High School last year, and a sprinter who was the top dash man on campus last year with times of 10.5 for the 100 yard dash and 23.9 in the 220. These are just a couple of examples ofgood men who aren't working out, There are quite a few more.

Student interest in other sports at ¥aLomar has been excellent, and the coaches have had very little trouble in qettinR an abundance of material but track poses a different problem. Nobodyknows just why. Maybe it isn't worth getting back into shape for a tough grind that is symbolic oftrack.

It could be that a few of our really good men have a job which they don't wish to give up. I hope the latter is the case.

At any rate, interestmust

This week's sports personality is Ed Redmond.

Ed is an out of stateboy.

He hails from Milwaukee, Wiscon~in, where he attended Custer HighSchool.

While in high school he played football, basketball, and baseball. He went by the nickname of "Butterball." Sl.nce that time he has lost 25pounds so now he is known as just plain Ed. In 1952 he moved to Escondido and started attending Palomar in the Fall semester. Hedecided that his studies would come before football, so he did not go out for sports. When basketball season rolled around: however, he decided that he could keep up his studies and still go out for sports. On the 1952 Comet squad he played center.

On this year's football team Ed played center. He was a player who could be counted on to always do his best. On the Comet basketball team he also played center.

He was considered to be one of the best rebounders on the team, With baseball in full swing, Ed is counted on to hold down the left field position, He is a very good batter and when the season draws to a close he will probably have one of the highest batting averages on the team, Ed is also one of the more prominate golfers on t h e campus, He is capable of shooting in the low 8o•s. If you ask him what his first love is he will probably answer "
