New Student Forum Holds 2nd Meeting Censorship, Sex Student Topics The second edition of the Palomar Student Forum met last Wednesday to discuss the topic "Censorship; Just or UnJust?" Mr. Dwight Boehm and Mr. John M. Schwarz moderated the meeting which was attended by a full house , including faculty members. In the only business area of the forum, it was decided in the breaking minutes of the group to meet again this Wednesday at 3:00, but to limit the meeting to one hour. Compromise su£!£!estions which would have allowed students and faculty members with three o'clock classes to attend the forum were discussed but no action was taken. The forum on cens9rship delved into many areas, including censorship of politics, sex, religion, college instructors and school publications. Labels used in politics were mentioned, such as "unAmerican," rugged individualism, democracy, and many more. It was felt that these terms were much too general and allowed an almost totalitarian type of censorship. Sex, it seemed, was a great victim of the censors. In America, suggested the forum, it is objectionable to be critical of married life, to use "taboo" words , to suggest anything which runs contraty to virgin puritan morality. The cencensus seemed to be that American life, oriented with the sex-idea, should be free from the censors. Religious censorship was paralleled to art. The forum entertained the idea that any nonreligious work of art, regardless of quality, is liable to run into problems. This situation was also felt to be unfortunate. Continued on Page 2

Student Council Looks Into Possible College Hour 1
The Palomar College student council has begun to investigate the possibility of having a regular college hour next year, as part of a greatly expanded total cultural program. The proposal was introduced by Dean Catherine M. Jones, director of student activities, at the April 29 meeting of the council. According to Dean Jones, in a special Telescope interview last week, the council is interested in hearing student opinions about such a program. The college hour would be every Wednesday at 10:00 and might include many varied activities including an expanded lecture series, lectures by members of the Palomar faculty, band and chorus programs, and possibly outstanding performers from the outside and open student council meetings. "Palomar should be growing up," said Dean Jones. She suggested that the college must expand its cultural program. "We should be presenting a
1
variety of programs, to interest everyone at some time." Mrs. Jones entertained various possibilities for this expansion, besides the College hour. The idea of showing some of the old classic motion pictures in special evening programs was one. Also suggested was bringing more big names to the campus. It was revealed that Area One of the state student government conference had been considering a joint cultural program with all area junior colleges, including Palomar. This would make it possible to bring entertainers of the scope of great to the junior college. The colleges would share expenses for such programs.
"But," said Dean Jones, "this can not be immediate; we should move ahead and expand our program now. Ideas from students as to possibilities for cultural expansion are desired."
