Mosk Criticizes Students
Editor's note: Starting with this issue. the Telescope will publish a series of articles which we feel are of importance to the student body. Our first article concerns remarks of two state officials, Attorney General Stanley Mosk and State College Chancellor Dr. Buell G. Gallagher.
At a recent speech in San Jose, Attorney General Stanley Mosk criticized college students as not being politically active. " It's a shame that more new ideas and actions don 't come from our colleges ," Mosk said. Un iversities are closed in Latin America when there is political unrest, he said, because the government knows that new ideas and sometimes disturbances begin there.
"There may be too much protection of college students and too many limitations of freedom in the United States," Mosk said. He called this a " minu s point" for the U.S. GALLAGHER COMMENTS ON PRESS
The new State College Chancellor has issued a statement su mmarizing his views of the role of the college newspaper. "A respons ible undergraduate press can be the conscience of the college community, but moral responsibility must rest in freedom . Censorship of news policy or editoria l opinion is inadm issable because it destroys a fundamental tool of the democratic ed ucation process; freed om of discussion and debate. " D1. Gallagher said that during hi s tenure as president of City College of New York he "safe-
guard ed t he he ritage of press freed om . . . " He added : I shall continue to fight for the right of our undergradu a te journalists to say what they think and feel , especially when I di sagree with what they have to say. "College newspaper editors should have the privilege of deciding what will and what will not be published. I, for one, would not ha ve it any other way. "However, the privilege carries with it the obligation on the part of stud ent editors to subj ect themselves and their publi cations to the critical scrutiny of the college community. They mu st recognize the rights of others to criticize the undergraduate press. Freedom of the press and freedom to criticize are symbiotic.

APRIL
ELECTION Clayton Sketoe, new pub· licity director at Palomar has announced that an election will be held December 2 for the purpose of ratify. ing the revised constitutions for the Freshman and Soph· omore classes.
NEW PUBLICITY Michele Church 's resig· nation from the post of publicity director was announced Monday by ASB President John Diepersloot. The appointment of Clayton Sketoe to the vacant position was unanimously approved by the student council. Diepersloot will not appoint a new representative at large , a position previously held by Sketoe.
A freshman here last year, April visited friends on campus last week after culminating a four-week debut into professional show business. She had photographs to show of herself on the stage of a large Boston night club, Blinsterub's Village, where she had danced a solo twice nightly. She also carried with her a copy of the December issue of Climax magazine (which is on the news stands now) in which a photograph of her (see photo above) is featured . Arpil, whose home-town s incerity has not been altered by her experience, was quite excited abo ut her visit to Boston , and abo ut her plans , when she was interviewed last week. "Last summer I decided I was at the right age to do someling with my dancing," she said. "So I auditioned at severa l places." She was offered a job dancing in the Horse Shoe Inn at Disneyland and another job dancing at Blinsterub's Village for Morro Landis Productions. She said the trip to Boston had been good for her. " I had no one to lean on. I had to depend on myself. " It's really been a college education ," she sai d. "I learned something fro m everyone I met. " April decided not to renew her contract with the Landis productions because she felt she was not accompli"shing anything. " I had no time to learn new tricks," she said. "And the wo rk there was no challenge at all. " April's new contract with Mazon & Abbot includes a strenuous pre-tour rehearsal schedul e in Hollywood . "We wi ll be rehearsing eight hours a day," she said . April said she does not intend to make a career of professiona l dancing. " I'd like to teach handicapped children to dance," she said. "But first I must learn all I can about dancing. I want to find out what other dancers are doing, and the only way to do that is to work professionally."
PC To Host Language Field Day Palomar College will host a fore ign language fie ld day next spring, anno unc e d Dr. Daniel J . Pratola , president of the orthern San Diego Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanjsh and Portuguese. At a meeting of the cha pter la st week, members voted to hold the event here and to sponsor a KOWN radio program starting in J a nuary and featuring language students. "The turnout of representatives indicates the enthusiasm of North County Spanish teache rs to establish the special position of Spanish as a foreign language in this area," said Dr. Pratola. He said that Spanish teachers should take the lead in establishing the language here because the country as a whole is stressing the importance of foreign language as vital to national pre stige and security. Me mbers of the AATSP chapter who attended the meeting last week were: Bernice Brand, Alfred Figueroa , Ann Levsen and John Schmitt of Esco ndido High School; Wil liam Mange r, Poway High School; Evelyn Boyl e, San Marco s High School; Roc h Kelly , Vista High School ; Lloyd Downing, Grant Junior High School in Escondido; Don Medford , La Vergne Sullivan , and Joa n Turnbull from Ocean s ide High Schoo l; Sister Mary Benedict a nd Sister Mary Da vi d .of the Acade my of Little Flowers in San Lui s Rey; and Marilyn Crist, AATSP member who has just returned from Mexico where she was taking an advanced Spanish course.
