"America is a combination of the best of everything." George M. Mardikian, author of Song Of America, told an assembly of students and faculty members Wednesday. "This country is a melting pot where people of other nations become Americans and contribute the best of their home country to the American Way." Mr. Mardikian, who came to America a poor immigrant, now owns a chain of restaurants in Fresno and San Francisco, valuable property in California, and a controlling share of three radio stations. He said , "In the old country I couldn't have quit my first job." He said he could never have improved his position as he did here. " I want to tell you," he said , "that America is still the land of opportunity. " He said his recipe for success included hard work and faith in oneself, in America and in God. Mr. Mardikian said that the greatest thing America had given him was "dignity." He said, "I wish I could make you understand what it is like not to be an American." Mr. Mardikian said that the purpose of his book, Song Of America , was "to tell Americans what this country has meant to me. "

NDEAFund May Reach $136,000 The College Board has authorized the administration to apply for National Defense Education Administration funds in the amount of $68,000. The college, by agreement with the NDEA, must match this amount and plans to do so over a two year period which would bring the total to $136,000. Some of this money would be used for student loans said College President Dr. John W. Dunn. In addition, much of the fund would be earmarked for development of the language department he said. Previously the loan fund at Palomar under NDEA has been $3 ,600 and has been loaned out to a small number of students in $400 grants. If the NDEA funds are obtained the college will supply $25,000 from this year's budget and $33,000 next year on the matching basis.
First Female Running For the first time in Palomar's history a female student will run for the office of Commissioner of Athletics. She will be among candidates running for ofticeintheseconds~
