Circle K Club Sets Pace In Activities by Lenna Carpentier
Circle K, a men's service club on campus, is one of the most active clubs at Palomar and has been responsible for many of the social activities conducted at the college.
Voters on March 5 rejected the bond request by a narrow margin when it drew 65.3 per cent of the votes cast but still lacked the necessary two-thirds majority for ratification. The trustees feel that they owe an obligation to the majority who went on record as wanting this development and to the students who will be coming to Palomar in the future.
The Philosophy of the Club
Vista Kiwanis Club is the of· ficial sponsor of Circle K. Serving the campus is only one of the major responsibilities of the club. In addition, community services are included in their curriculum. The club provides opportunities for leadership training in service and gives emphasis on the advantages of the American way of life. Qualifications For Membership
Students must maintain a 2.0 average, attend 80% of the meetings, and miss not more than three consecutive meetings in order to remain members. All members are expected to participate in all activities undertaken by the club. The Men Who Run Circle K
The officers of Circle K are as follows : President Doug Welburn; Vice President Steve Hinthorne; Recording Secretary Bob McClaugherty; Corresponding Secretary Robert George Eyerman ; Treasurer Daryl Attict; and Sergeant-AtArms Joe Lee. Activities Supported By Circle K

Rafer Johnson, former decathalon champion, spoke here on Monday to the International Club about the "University People to People Prgoram." Mr. Johnson stated that the purpose of "People to People" is to get the average American interested in helping international students to become acquainted with this country. Started in 1956 by President Eisenhower, the program's purpose was to make it possible for more foreign students to get their college education in this country. Originally the program was operated under the auspices of the U.S. Government but it now functions independent!~. . _ At the present, only one out of 4,000 International students who apply are able to obtain

"People to People" is working on a method which will allow more students to enter this country. Approximately 2500 international students enter this country each year under all or part of the program. When the new plan is under way, this number will almost double. In ending his talk, Mr. Johnson said that "People to People" is always ready to give any advice to the colleges and universities when they ask for it.
