New Award IN HONOR OF PRESIDENT'S FATHER Dr. John W. Dunn, president of Palomar College, has introduced a new contest for student writers.

An Earl W. Dunn first annual memorial award will be presented for the best student compositions on the subject "Society and Freedom ," it was announced today by Robert Mikkelson, head of the English Department.

Four awards, in the form of U.S. Savings bonds totaling $150, will be offered.

The memorial is named in honor of the father of the President of Palomar College.

Competition is open to all full-time students enrolled at Palomar.

Interview With Dunn In an interview, Pres. Dunn commented, "I'm sure my father would be pleased to know that such a competition is being held. His life was dedicated to the principle of responsible citizenship, and this year's competition reflects his lifelong interest in rights and responsibilities under our constitution."

Judging will be handled in two stages, according to Mikkelson. Preliminary judges for this year's competition will be Mr. William Bedford, Mr. Richard Norlin and Mr. Mikkelson, all faculty members at Palomar College.

These judges will narrow the field of entries to a final group which will be submitted to a panel of judges comprised of citizens from the communities that the college serves.

STUDENT BODY

Award In Bonds Mikkelson stated that the annual award presentation, in the form of U.S. Savings Bonds, is intended to accomplish two purposes. It serves as a memorial tribute to Dr. Dunn's father.

It also provides Palomar College and the community an OI>portunity to note the maturity and ability ofthe students at Palomar College.

"The annual topic," according to Mikkelson ," involves critical issues of our times. The public in the area is entitled to the realization that young people are thinking in these areas with a level of understanding and maturity not always matched by the generation preceding them".

Dr. Dunn's father, often called "Judge Dunn" by the people in a small Oregon town where he served as a Jusitce of the Peace in his twilight years got a far-flung reputation as a young livestock auctioneer.

During his lifetime, which he dedicated to service of his fellow man, he was a teacher, public speaker, civic wor11er and moulder of local public opinion.

Dr. Dunn recalls the many hours his father would spend at a small country store discussing matters of interest and impact during his time.

Judge Dunn was active in the Masonic todge and lent his talents during two World Wars to the sale of War and Savings Bonds, hence Dr. Dunn's choice of award presentations of these bonds to the best compositions entered.

"Judge Earl Dunn was a believer of thrift among younger people. He represented to me an example of responsible citizenship.

"His responsibilities as a citizen dominated his wor11ing lift but expanded to become the central theme of his retirement with service to his community, nation and fellow man of paramount importance to him," Dr. Dunn remar11ed about his father.

The topic for this year's competition is based on the theme of the Palomar College humanity lecture series which continues throughout the year and is also entitled "Society and Freedom."

Schultz Named Most Valuable/ 1

The 1962 Comet Booster Football Banquet and program was held Tuesday, at Palomar College, with Gary Schultz receiving the most valuable player award.

A welcome was given by Dr. Terrel Spencer to the players and guests, with the invocation following.

After dinner, booster president, Tony Duran made the introductory remarks, with Ward Myers introducing the guest for the evening.

Don Coryell, Football Coach from San Diego State, was guest speaker at the banquet, speaking on how important it is to receive a good education.

An introduction of players was given by Coach Stu Carter, which led into the football awards for the 62 season.

Presentation of the "Most Valuable Player" was awarded to Gary Schultz, all around back, by Coach Chris Pagakis.

Coach Stu Carter closed the evening by awarding all conference awards to, Joe Picchiottino, offensive back; John Watkins, offensive guard; Don Agatep, defensive lineback; Mike Casey, offensive center; Dave Conner, offensive end; and Gary Schultz, offensive and defensive back.

Backs Maiority Clause If ASB Council takes the recommendation of students who turned out for the special assembly Wednesday, a majority clause will be written into the elections code today.

Council meets in the student activities office at 11 a.m.

Only 100 students attended Palomar's "town meeting." In a division of the house, approximately two thirds of the students favored a majority over a plurality clause.

A majority clause required that a candidate, in order to win, must garner more votes than all his opponents combined. A plurality clause would require that he have more votes than his nearest competitor.

The special assembly was promped when ASB Council wa s unable to resolve the majority vs. plurality problem itself.

Opinion from Council and from the floor was featured at the hour-long meeting.

Members of Council who favored a plurality clause advanced two main points:

Review

Pulitzer Prize Reader

by LaRue Pfeiffer One of the latest editions to the Palomar College bookstore's growing list of paperbacks is the Pulitzer Prize Reader, edited by Leo Hamalian and Edmond L. Volpe.

The book is a concentration of stories and poems from the pens of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century.

Pulitzer Awards were started in 1917 by Joseph Pulitizer, editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and The New York World.

The award is given to American men and women for work in literature, music and journalism.

Some selections in the book are from award-winning works, some from other distinguished works.

Altogether they form a cross-section of twentieth-century American writers like, John Steinbeck, Eugene O'Neil, Carl Sandburg, Pearl S. Buck, Thornton Wilder and MacKinlay Kantor.

There are a total of 55 entries of fiction, essay, drama and poetry.

This book provides interesting reading and a look at some of the greatest American writing of the past and a possible look into the future.

1. A plurality clause would expedite the elections in that a run-off would not be necessary even if a candidate did not get a majority of the votes. · 2. If run-off elections are required, the vote will be less accurate because fewer students will be interested enough to participate in a second election.

The Council members for a majority clause contended that to elect a candidate who has received only a plurality of the votes would be undemocratic. They said that a candidate should have the support of at least a majority of the voters in order to win.

Council members speaking for plurality were Con Caldeira, AMS president; Ted Repa, commissioner of athletics; Rich Lottereer, Freshman Class president; and Clayton Sketoe, parliamentarian.

For majority were Dick Tarquinio, Paul Castro, and Mary LeeKey, all representatives at large.

Role of Reporter Expa-n ded

by Bettina Giordano

The rol e of the reporter has expanded greatly today in a world constantly visualizing new accomplishments and simpler methods.

The reporter is not just "a writer who aims or is felt to aim chiefly at a mass audience or strive for immedi a te popular a ppeal in his writing" as Webster suggests but an artist capable of producing masterpieces.

The journalist, like most professional individuals, guid es hi s career by a code of ethics designed to add character to his constant fact-seeking career.

The code of ethics is a persunal pledge but a pledge stalwart enough to leave a constant impression.

The reporter is a representative of his countrymen and an ambassador of foreign goodwill.

If any one aspect is important, honesty is the foundation. Not only honesty of work or deed but an honesty that is within the individual indicating that he has given all the needed essentials accuracy, unbiased, fairness, clearness, and consiseness.

A need is always present to satisfy the public's curiosity. Once a foundation for news has been laid , it is the reporter's duty to capture it into words. The public has the right to know, but the right, at times, extends into an area for light treading.

While a reporter will seek complete coverage, he will , on the other hand , avoid invasion of privacy.

Loyalty patters behind honesty.

The loyal journalist is the good journalist, though loyalty does not make the journalist. The reporter shall not glorify, discolor, or misinterpret.

He shall retain a professional integrity at all times.

The journalistic field is a field to be respected highly. The journalists engaged have a great and demanding responsibility to the reading public.

As the world's accomplishments plenish, the newspaper will increase in proficiency, and as it does, it will serve the public under the same code of ethics.

Another Letter On Saxe Column Editor, the Telescope:

On the sports page of the Dec. 3 issue of Telescope, Tom Saxe stated that his purpose in a recent "comment" on the music played at football games by the Comet Band was not intended as a personal assault on the band. Perhaps this wasn't the intention but thats the way it appeared in print, and thats exactly how it was interpreted.

In the Dec. 3 issue Saxe stated that "March of the Olympians" . .. is out of place when not accompanied by the correct type of music." Anyone who attended the football games heard the Palomar Fight Song whenever the Comets scored, charges (used by nearly every school) when the Comets broke from the huddle, and intermittantly songs like "Glory of the Gridiron", "Hey Look Me Over", and others that contributed to the spirited, peppy atmosphere that prevailed in the bleachers. How about it, Tom? Didn't you go to the games? As for "March of the Olympians" being out of place, I suggest that perhaps Mr. Saxe is out of place.

Emerging from Mr. Saxe's jumble of words is one, constructive suggestion; that there be a better coordination between the band and the cheerleaders. In the past there has been no agreement or method

of communication between the two groups, and I must commend Saxe for bringing this to-long-ignored drawback into print.

As for the choice of the cheerleader's sex, I personally would rather see the fair sex represented in part, but this is a matter of personal preference.

I do know that only 3 boys showed any interest in cheerleading during the football

season, and thats not too encouraging for the prospect of having an all-male cheerleading squad . Regarding the choice of cheers, I think we should leave that up to the cheering squad .

I don't mean to condemn Mr. Saxe for his comments, but I do think he should more carefully analyze them before he prints them. It would eliminate many unnecessary arguments.

Plans Related For Formal ASB Council voted last week to charge $12 per couple attending the annual Christmas Formal December22.

The $12 entitles bid holders to dinner and dancing at the Hotel Del Coronado.

Social Activities Committee co-chairman Con Caldeira said he expects at least 200 couples to attend the dance. He pointed out that the $2400 income, plus $250 already budgeted for the event, would nearly pay the estimated $2772 expenses.

He announced that the theme for the formal would be "Winter Fantasy."

Irene Shansby, chairman of the Publicity Committee, announced that the coed at the dance who is selected as "Miss Holly" would be awarded a transister radio, donated by T.V. Craftsmen of Vista.

Faculty men will judge the "Miss Holly" contest. She said that two "princesses" would also be selected and each would receive West Side Story record albums, also donated by T.V. Craftsmen.

In other business the Council approved the nomination of Rich Lotterer and Sandra Humphry to Awards Committee membership.

Crushing Last Second Hoop Shot Leaves PC Comets Second Place

By TOM SAXE

Because of a perfectly timed ¡jump shot by San Diego City College guard Cliff Ashford, Palomar was relagated to a second place finish in its own tournament Saturday night.

And the defeat couldn't have been a more crushing one. " The Comets, out in front the entire way, watched in dismay as Ashford's wild 15-footer from the free throw circle swished through the net as the buzzer sounded to give coach Hilbert Crosthwaite's squad a 49-47 win and its most satisfying victory in seven season triumphs.

The Knights have yet to be beaten.

Even though Fairchild's play was nothing ¡ less than sensational, it didn't represent the only outstanding Comet effort by any me ns.

Ted Repa was particularly outstanding in the final game despite his mere two-point output.

Repa, a hustler all the way, beat the boards on nearly every shot and was battling for most every rebound.

Mike Walters turned in his best game.

Oceanside editor Irv Grossman layed much of the blame for the Palomar loss on reserves Lynn Martin and Jim Bell, which is about as stupid as blaming the man in the moon. Coach Joe Brennan substituted

from a position of strength throughout the entire tournament, and never did he remove a player for poor play.

His alternating of starters Repa , Stanley, Fairchild , Ed Vitale and Walters with subs Martin and Bell proved tremendously successful as he gave one or two of the starters a rest at certain intervals.

Bell and hustler Martin did excellent jobs and any blame against them is baseless.

The whole team, particularly Martin and Stanley, took the defeat hard.
