Brown, Nixon May Visit PC This Spring In response to requests by last semester's Student Council, both leading candidates for the California gubernatorial election in November have indicated they will attempt to fit lectures at Palomar into their campaign schedules this Spring. Strong contender for the Republican candidacy, Richard M. Nixon, was extended an invitation to come here in January or February, but because of a rigorous campaign schedule he was unable to commit himself. He said he hoped to be able to visit the campus in the future, however, and has referred the lecture request to his campaign schedule committee, which¡ makes up Nixon's itinerary. The Student Council has tentatively planned a speech by Governor Edmund G. Brown as part of "The World Today" lecture series. Governor Brown has indicated a desire to speak here, and he said he would "continue to try to find a suitable date." He said the uncertainty of a lecture appearance is due to the special session of the California State Legislature.

First Retired; Gardener Mike Cuccia Honored

ent cheerleaders can by removed from office only by a recall vote or by resignations tendered by the cheerleaders, Dunn said. The decision to grant Miss Calderwood the authority to select new cheerleaders came after she recommended to the Council that the cheerleaders not be allowed to represent Palomar at the State basketball tournament. She said that the lack of participation by the cheerleaders during the basketball season was the reason for . her recommendation. At a recent Council meeting, Miss Calderwood suggested that the coaches choose new cheerleaders for the tournament. A motion to negate the previously adopted recommendation by Miss Calderwood was passed by the Council. Also approved was a motion by Dunn that the cheerleaders already chosen by the coaches be allowed to assist the present cheerleaders in representing Palomar at the basketball tournament.

COMETS LOSE Palomar Comet hoopsters were eliminated from the State Basketball tournament in its first round by dropping a 69 to 54 decision to American River Junior College in last night's game at Costa Mesa.

Palomar may be a young school but it's been in existence long enough to retire an employee. Gardener "Iron" Mike Cuccia was honored at a dinner in the Cafeteria February 27, with a retirement party - the first such event in the history of Palomar. He was presented with a barometer as a going-away gift. Faculty members chipped in a day later and bought him a retirement cake. Mike came to Palomar in 1952, when the barren landscape offered only an occasional army barracks as relief. Through his efforts some of the first trees on campus took root, the first lawns were seeded and the shrubbery around the library and locker building was planted. Today is Mike's last "school day." Next week someone else will have to keep the weeds from strangling the hydrangeas.

Originally, the proposed auditorium was to be built on the hillside behind the cafeteria.
