"It is with you people of the S.C.J.C.S.G.A. that ways can be found, through your workshops, to improve your own activities," this statement by Mr. Forrest G. Mur-
dock, president of El Camino College, set the serious tone of the student government association for the Palomar College delegates who returned from the conference this week.
THE THINKERS? Mr. Phelps and Kay Seebold plan next move at S.C.J.C.G.A. conference on student government and publicatiom last Saturday.

All new members were required to wear bermudas during the day. After leadi·n g several songs and cheers at the rally, the pledges presented a fas hion show, commentated by Peggy Jo Huggans. Completion of initiation was held Monday •night at a special meet.
Paul Comi, p r e s i d e n t of S.C.J.C.S.G.A., presided at the opening assembly, which included an Invocation, introduction of honorary guests and committees, and welcome to visiting colleges by the president of El Camino College.

"Compton will play Palomar at the Homecoming game in place of Oceanside," Coach Bob Bowman told Telescope staff editors Friday morning. Coach Bowman extended the invitation to Compton College immediately following the Oceanside withdrawal. With Oceanside J. C. pulling out of their game with the Comets, scheduled for Saturday, November 12, the homecoming game could have been blown "sky-high." According to information received at Palomar College, the Oceanside Board of Education took official action to eliminate football for the rest of the season because of

excessive injuries to the pl a yers. It is reported that the J .C. has only 10 players in condition to rompetP. It still takes 11 men to make a football team - you can see the problem. "We will scour the Junior colleges all over the St at e t o see if we can lin e up something," said Dean John Dunn when he heard the news Wednesday morning.
Student President Answers Editor's Query On Financing Total A.S.B. Yearly Expense'S A rise in the cost of student government? FIRST, let us agree that the purpose of student government is primarily to promote the general welfare of all students, govern and coordinate student activities, and raise school spirit. SECOND, in most colleges, the price of A.S.B. cards is $7.50 per semester. I won't try to justify a $2.50 raise per semester merely on the premise that our card costs no more than that of most colleges. Let u s look at the following facts: 1. Our card this year, unlike last year, covers all activities in full. We don't have to dig for that additional change for every football or basketball game. The annual now comes with the card instead of just a discount as last year. 2. As the college grows, there are new expenses. Example: Budget for song and cheer leaders' outfits $50. 00 ; budget for majorettes' outfits $50.00. 3. With a growing student body (over 30 % increase this semester) the A.S.B. Council representatives decided to underwrite our annual to the limit of $1800. Advertising and other income are expected to offset $1000. (Over $600 was turned in last year.) The remaining $800. will be met by A.S.B. card sales. 4. Insurance? Students at Palomar are not automatically covered by comprehensive insur-
ance policies. Only A.S.B. members have individual coverage of health and accident. The public liability of the college protects the college funds from suit in case of negligence, that is why we need individual coverage in the ASB paid in full membership. 5. Alpha Gamma Sigma on its own initiative require its members to be participating Palomar Student Body members in good standing. This is the concern of their constitution; its authors have chosen to make their own specifications . 6. Our Business Office informs us that last year, "The Associated Student Body was not financially healthy". Sound budgeting was not accomplished until this $15.00 yearly rate was installed. In 1954-1955, A.S.B. card holders paid: $5.00 per semester per card 1.00 per semester for 4 basketball games 1.00 per semester for 4 football games $7.00 per first semester $5.00 per semester card 2.00 annual $7.00 per second semester In 1955-56, they pay $7.50 per semester which inc-ludes total costs of game admissions, dances and numerous events.
