Mr. Victor Heyden, director of Forensics, Randy Young, and Clayton Sketoe accepted the award. Rod Sherry, in charge of features ·a t KOGO made the presentation on his evening television show. In addition to the debate award, Mr. Heyden was named the Teacher of the Week by KOGO. Mr. Heyden received the weekly "Golden Apple" award for his speech activities and his achievements in the speech and academic field . Young and Sketoe won the award for winning three televised debates. In these debates, Palomar was pitted in a round-robin contest against three other schools, University of San Diego, California Western University, and San Diego State College. Sketoe and Young defeated each of these schools in the series to win the award. Sketoe and Young's debates were on labor and anti-trust, and the election of the President of the United States. Earlier in the year, Sketoe was teamed with Henry Snyder to win on draft in wartime situations. Palomar was the only junior college in the \)eries. By defeating the other schools, Palomar's debate team becomes the top debate team in San Deigo (:ounty. The format of the debates was a modified cross-examination style. Each team, the affirmative and the negative, presented a constructive speech followed by a cross-examination period. Following the crossexamination, rebuttal speeches were presented. Young delivered the constructives for Palomar, and Sketoe did the cross-examination and rebuttal. Sketoe and Young were coached by Mr. Ron Tabor, speech instructor and debate coach.
Larry Clarke Elected
Dean Jones Resigns Post Mrs. Catherine Jones will leave Palomar at the end of this term. In the three years she has been at Palomar, she has been Dean of Women, and Dean of Activities. In addition, she has taught classes in Leadership and Sociology. She resigned to do additional graduate work at U.C.L.A. under a study grant, and has no definite plans after her graduation.
College president Dr. John W. Dunn and various board members suggested the fall date in deference to other spring elections already scheduled in the district, including the Escondido water project. "The Escondido water revenue bond election set for June 4 is of vital importance to the future of Escondido," Dunn said. "We don't want to take any action which will interfere with the consideration of that proposal." Minimum time of 60 days is required between the ordering of an election and the voting date. Members pointed out this would have set a spring election in the latter part of May in a period already scheduled with previously-booked elections, and that postponement until October was being made as a college act of cooperation with the Escondido and other community election projects.
Carnevale Takes Over Counseling Assumes Vacated Post The counseling position recently vacated by Dr. Terril Spencer has been filled by Mr. James Carnevale, a reading improvement instructor here at Palomar. Mr. Carnevale, who did most of his graduate work in the field of Educational Psychology, took over the position when Dr. Spencer left May 6th to assume the presidency of Imperial Valley College. Carnevale's undergraduate work was in English Literature, with a minor in history. He started teaching reading improvement at Palomar last fall. Mr. Carnevale said he became interested in reading and its problems while at UCLA where he graduated. This interest lead him into psychology and counseling. Most of Mr. Carnevale's counseling will be in the field of liberal arts. He hopes that his new position will be a permanentone.
Palomar's student forum met in extended session over the last two Wednesdays to discuss the topic: "Sex and The Student; Fact, Fancy or Foolishness?" Dean Catherine M. Jones and Dr. Harold Coffman moderated the discussion, which stirred enough interest to merit the double session. In the first order of business the forum elected Steve Howell as its new chairman and J.C. Wesley as co-chairman. The discussion centered around the American social policy of sex and the double standard. The view that the male may do anything and that the female is always responsible was felt unfortunate. The forum also decried the social policies which held discussion of sex in a closed box. It was felt that sex should get beyond the "smut" level, and that open talk about sex should not be condemned. Further discussion brought in the role of society in determining the functions of the male and female, the fear of open opinions about sex, and the fear that parents have to talk about sex with their children. In the final gatherings the forum seemed to intend that the sex life of an individual should belong to that individual and not be the business of society. But several members of the forum mentioned that society is in some ways directly involved in any results that the individual's dealings might have.
ty winning 147 votes over opposing candidate Randy Young. Young received 93 votes, and there were two write-in votes for Steve Howell. Clarke will be installed in office at the awards banquet to be held next Wednesday night at 8 p.m. in the student union. The election results also put into office Sandy Humphrey, secretary, Phil (Dino) Giambrone, treasurer, Steve Hinthorne, sophomore class president, J. C. Wesley, Tom Lodico, and Karen Ruskin, representatives at large. All these candidates ran unopposed for their office. No one ran for the offices of vicepresident or commissioner of athletics. There were some write-in votes for a vice-president, all for Todd Baker, International Club president, but there were not counted due to an elections committee and student activities advisor decision. All offices, with the exception of freshman class president will be filled by appointment. The new officers will be installed at the awards banquet also. Of the 253 ballots cast, eleven votes were declared void by the elections committee on the grounds of unnecessary markings on the ballots. Voters also gave a resounding "Yes" vote to the proposed constitutional change in the judicial committee members and strenghtens the restrictions around the committee. This revision is designed to strengthen the control on the judicial committee by making the restrictions on the committee and committee members tougher. The -higher standards for committee membership should eliminate some of the political spoils in the judiciary area. Although the voter turn-out was large in comparison to some elections at Palomar, the 253 votes represented only 15% to 20% of those persons eligible to vote.
