OFFICER NABS BURGLAR IN CAMPUS CHASE Instructor Is 1 1 Doing Well In Hospital Dwight Boehm, chairman of the humanities division at Palomar College, was reported by hospital authorities to be "doing fairly well" this week end after suffering a major heart attack on campus last week. Spokesmen at Tri-City Hospital in Vista said Boehm's condition is still serious, but that he is resting well. The 56year-old English instructor suffered a myocardial infarct (blood clot of the heart muscles) while in his office Tuesday. Dean of Student Personnel Dr. Terrel Spencer told the Telescope that he was passing through Boehm's office at about 3:15 p.m. Tuesday when he noticed that Boehm had fallen to the floor. Spencer rushed the instructor to a Vista doctor and then to the hospital, where he was immediately given oxygen. Boehm, whose office is in the registration building, had apparently lay on the floor for some time before being discovered. His glasses had broken in the fall. This was to be the Vista resident's seventh year here. After receiving his B.A. from Antioch College and M.A. from Harvard he taught at five other schools before coming here in 1956. He has taught history, economics and English at Palomar. A staff bulletin from Dean of Instruction Virgil L. Bergman reported that Boehm will probably have to be away from the campus for at least this semester. His three English classes have been taken over by other instructors.
Religion Class The Palomar College Latter Day Saints club is sponsoring a comparison of religions clas~ on Mondays and Fridays at 11 a.m. in the San Marcos Grange Hall.
Rich Lotterer Wins By One Vote Rich Lotterer took the spot light in ASB elections last week by winning his freshman class presidency by one vote. Lotterer received 99 votes, while rival Young received 98. Three other ASB Office winners were announced at the Friday night 'Installation Dance.' Paul Castro was installed as representative at large and
Ted Repa as commissioner of athletics. Stephan. Wheeler, who was elected sophomore president, was not present at the dance and could not be installed. One hundred and six sophomores and 197 freshmen voted Friday, for a total of303 votes. Less than 25 per cent of the 1500 students voted.
ZEROSESCAPEFRONTPAGE An error in a front page of the Telescope last week left gubernatorial candidate Richard M. Nixon out on the Palomar football field with a truck load of ice cream, several ten-gallon cookers of hot dogs, and only "15 North County citizens" to kick off a rally. Editors had failed to notice a type-setter's omission of two zeros in the news account of Nixon's political rally held here Sept. 22. .But that was the second error. We err~ttffist in our original estimate that only 1500 cit~ attended the rally. Reliable sources pointed ¡ out after the newspaper was circulated that approximately 4000 people had attended. There was nothing to do but to re-run the issue with proper corrections. We did that Tuesday.

Students Sho.w Interest In Proposed Drama Club Larry LaCaille, a student who is trying to organize a Drama club here, said Friday that several student~ have indicated an interest in the proposed club. He said about 10 students turned out for a preliminary meeting Tuesday. Another meeting is scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday at the Patrons' Patio. Victor Heyden, speech instructor, has offered to advise the club if it is formed. LaCaille said the club would be able to produce about three plays each year. He indicated that organizational problems would limit the club's output this year. La Caille said the plays would probably be presented on the Patrons' Patio stage. "Our stage facilities will be limited," he admitted. He said that lighting the shows would be difficult because of the outof-doors situation. He added that weather would
have to be considered in scheduling shows and rehearsals. He also said that the stage might not be big enough to present some plays. The group has tentatively decided to make the first play a comedy. LaCaille said he is hoping for a large turnout at the Thursday meeting. "I am anything but satisfied with the number of students we have now," he said. "We can use at least 20 more." He said that students inte'= ested in "any aspect" of the theater should come to the meeting Thursday.

THE COMET FOOTBALL team had plenty of support from the grandstand in the
first home contest of the season Thursday afternoon. The Comets whipped Cal-Western Frosh 20 to 6 before a cheering section of approximately 400 students. Many instructors dismissed classes so that students could attend the game.
Fires Shots In Pursuit Of Burglars
Steve Wheeler
The quiet solitude of the campus was shattered at 12:10 a.m. today when the security policeman surprised two wouldbe burglars in the Industrial Arts building and captured one after a bullet-punctuated chase that lasted nearly 10 minutes. Security officer Graydon Kaeding was making a routine inspection of the campus early this morning when he heard a "clanking sound" come from the direction of the I.A. build ing. As he approached the building two men, allegedly breaking into it, attempted to flee by scaling a wire fence. Running to the side of the building Kaeding drew his .38calibre service revolver and gave chase. Officer Pursues
As Kaeding called for the men to halt they split up, running up a dirt embankment. The officer pursued one, firing three shots as he ran into the darkness. The man fell over twice - possibly feigning injury - but continued along the northwest road of the campus. When Kaeding mounted the embankment he momentarily lost sight of the fugitive, but continued 150 yards along the pitch-black roadway where he heard the man "puffing" in bushes alongside a giilly. The officer commanded the man to come out, and at gun point brought him to the administration building where he telephoned the Sherifrs department. Deputies Come

Lectures On Stock Market Scheduled An eight-week lecture course entitled "Advanced Technical Analysis of the Stock Market" will be offered in the Palomar Evening College beginning Wednesday. The series will meet each Wednesday evening for eight weeks from 7 to 10 p.m. in room B-1 on the Palomar College campus. Ralph G. Dalton of Heydon, Stone and Company, La Jolla, will conduct the course. Dalton has been in the investment business for the last ten years in La Jolla and Santa Barbara, California. His past lecture series in San Diego and Oceanside have drawn many participants. The course is being conducted for experienced investors or persons who have had an introductory course in investment fundamentals. Dalton tries to teach some of the techniques used by market professionals in both short and long term trading, and investing in today's stock market. Registrations may be made in the Admissions office during the day, Monday through Friday or in the evenings, Monday through Thursday from 6:30 to 9:30p.m.
As several deputies rushed to the college, Kaeding ordered the man to face the wall and put his hands against it. When deputies arrived they han<!cuffed and searched the 27year-old Colton, Calif. captive. Police are now searching for the alleged burglar's accomplice, who is believed to have escaped into the hills behind the College. A stakeout has been placed at his San Bernardino home. Captive Held
The captive, being held for burglary in the San Diego County Jail, is 6'1" tall and weighs 195 pounds. Officer Kaeding is only 5'8" and weighs 160. An employee of Pinkerton Detective Agency and student of Palomar, Kaeding is a 23year veteran of the Marine Corps.
