Steve Hinthorne, sophomore class president, stated, "We can do something about this by stopping it before it gets to be a problem."

It was decided by the council to publicise the fact that it is illegal. It was announced by Terry Schwaner that there will be talent at our Hoot coming from the San Diego area as well as our own local talent. The show will be emceed by Terry and Randall Keith.

Palomar College's bond issue was carried with a three to one majority Tuesday. The passage came on the third attempt with 74.3% of the voters turning in "yes" ballots. The "yes" votes constituted 8,382 of the total 11,281 voters. This can be contrasted to the 6036 yes votes in the March fifth bond campaign out of a total of 9,251 voters. The "yes" vote last March was only 65.3% of the vote. It lacked approximately 125 votes of reaching the necessary two-thirds majority. Of the 27 voting precincts, 23 carried the $2,550,000 bond issue. Garden Road School in Poway had the greatest majority with 85.1%; Poway High School was second with an 81.9% majority. Other high majority precincts were: Washington Jr. High, Vista, with 81.7%; Palomar Mountain School, Palomar Mt., with 80.9%; Rose School, Escondido, with 80.8%; and Grant School, Escondido, with 80.2%. The four precincts in which the bond was not carried were: Valley Center School, Valley Center, with 61.1%; Pauma School, Pauma, with 62.4%; Del Dios, Escondido, with 63.1%; and Central School, Escondido, with 64.3%. A majority of66.6% was needed for passage. Tuesday night a crowd of board members, faculty, and reporters was on hand as the returns arrived. Palomar students handled the
switchboard, and the returns were marked on a large blackboard by Don O'Neill, bookstore manager. Valley Center's returns were the last received, at midnight. Dr. Dunn, college president, attributed the success of the issue to several factors. A number of college students helped in the election campaign. They worked in teams as free taxis to the polls and as ·babysitters when needed. "The college band helped a great deal as it appeared in nine different locations throughout the district to draw attention to the issue. Students also offered their services to the community," commented Dr. Dunn. He also allotted a degree of the success to the extra hour that the polls were open. When the victory was officially announced Wednesday morning a spontaneous rally occured. Several teachers were so elated that they dismissed their classes so both they and their students might attend the victory celebration. The band played for two hours - from 8 to 10 a.m. Miss Calderwood, Miss Reiser, and Mr. Bowman led the students in cheers for Dr. Dunn. Several hundred students gathered at the Student Union patio to listen to the band and speakers. Dr. Dunn, Dr. Schettler, and Mr. Kremer were three of the faculty members who gave their congratulations and thanks.
