These meetings are preliminary sessions to assign students to specific counselors in their selected field.

Sweatshirt Day Climaxed

By Farcial Kangaroo Court

By FRANK ORLANDO EditoriaL, Page 2

Sweatshirts were the uniform of the day last Friday- in theory anyway. Students either were not aware, or simply did not tremble in fear at the prospect · of being brought before a kangaroo court.

Those students who did wear sweatshirts, did not necessarily feel that a Palomar Junior College sweatshirt was mandatory.

College colors and emblems from the University of Hawaii to Michigan State adorned the sweatshirts.

A student commented in Kangaroo Kourt held Friday noon in the student union, that "the reason I wore my Ohio state sweatshirt, is because my Iowa sweatshirt was dirty. " Excuses varied .for lack of compliance with the sweatshirt edict; due to the lack of co-operation, any excuse seemed to be a good excuse.

Punishments for the crime of not adhering to Friday's dress regulations , were accepted good-naturedly by the offenders. The kangaroo court lost .

its potency however, when It was observed that two of its members were sweatshirtless.

Dr. Dunn Heads School Panel Discussion - SD Dr. John W. Dunn, president of Palomar College, served as moderator of a seven-man panel discussion that featured the School Facilities Planning Seminar, held in San Diego Friday October25.

The session , at Kona Kai , Shelter Island, was sponsored by the American Institute of Architects, the Educational Facilities Laboratory, the Producers Council , Inc., and the San Diego County Department of Education.

Dr. Dunn presided for the panel session, participated in by leading architects, school administrators and specialists in educational facilities and equipment.

The ASB is to finance the dance, but various clubs will take an active part in the activities. It is still to be decided whether ASB card holders will be admitted free as at the other campus dances, or whether this is a special occasion which merits charging card holders admittance.

The Lyrics have already been contracted to play for the homecoming dance. A complete financial report on expenses will be presented at the next ASB council meeting.

pangs of hunger ... and growing pa·ins

FRANK ORLANDO SAYS

Kangaroo Court DispiQy Childish

by Tom Gable

Growing pains, different forms and varied, appear throughout our lives, starting young.

They aren't just physical, but mental and emotional as well. They cause anguish, depression, anxiety, and sheer frustration. They nag and cajole and irritate. They try our nerves and the nerves of relatives and friends. Growing pains.

They manifest themselves in different ways.

They are sitting in a classroom, yawning big, and stretching. Pulling your arm and leg muscles tight and straight, leaning way back, and then relaxing.

They are juggling a glass of milk, bumping into a table or tripping over your own feet, and then spilling the whole mess on your mother's freshly waxed floor. Growing pains are getting bawled out for messing up the kitchen.

PLAGUED BY GROWING UP Growing pains are at their worst during adolescence. Growing too fast, both physically and emotionally, and wanting to grow faster cause the young teenager to experience many frustrating and anxious moments. He yearns for a car, freedom from parental nagging, and the security felt in the close companionship with a member of the opposite sex. Growing pains are being told to be in at twelve midnight on Friday.

A first love is growing pains. Though called pqppy love by elders and a misplaced Oedipus complex by psychiatrists, a first love is a beginning of communication with the future. It usually comes in high school, though it might come later (any earlier is ridiculous), and gives a mild insight into the characters involved and their future attitudes. _ The first love is when the persons involved lose some of the selfish attitude which epitomizes adolescence. The first love is when you learn to care for someone other than yourself. Not a complete end to narcissism, but a start, making you conscious of other people's feelings for the first time. Growing pains are a mild loss of egotis{Jl.

A PATH IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION School can be a part of growing pains, especially college. This is where a young man or woman is supposed to find what they are looking for. This can be either a companion in marriage; an idea, or an ideal. Maybe school won't give it to them but it will give them a push in the right direction, if they want it. · The push in the right direction is toward maturity. Maturity in thoughts, actions, and words. And this maturity, though it might not be found in college but instead in work or marriage, is the path to the future.

Maturity, I believe, is the hardest part of growing up. Who really wants to grow up? Who really wants to have responsibility? I think almost everybody would like to be a kid all their life. Living without any worry about where the next car payment was coming from or how long it is possible to work at a job that you don't enjoy. Maturity and responsibility come hard. Growing pains.

SOME PEOPLE NEVER MATURE A person can be mature when he is sixteen.

Then again, he might linger forever in the halfreal, half-imaginary world of childhood. I know, and work with, people to whom maturity is an act, contrived, affected, something to be worn on their sleeve when the situation warrants it. They crack when anything out of the ordinary comes along to ruin their little dream world.

On the other hand, I know a sixteen year old girl who is a freshman in college, just turned sixteen, who not only has the mind of a college student, but has the emotional maturity to go along with it.

Nature works in funny ways.

Through all of this, adolescence to college, the biggest pain, growing or otherwise, that confronts us, is findi.n g a goal in life. It is finding ourselves. It is a pain in the proverbial derriere that is not only irritating, but downright frightening.

To know what you want and have the courage to go about getting it, well, that is the end of growing pains.

Tuesday, October 29, 1963

Friday afternoon in the Student Union a group of young men (?), masquerading as college students, held a farce of a farce called Kangaroo court. Students subjected to this asinine display were bored, nauseated and disappointed by the events that occurred.

The most interest facet of this event, was its purpose. If the purpose was to amuse the student body, it certainly failed, for students found elephant jokes infinitely more amusing than the antics performed in front of them. The worms in their apples seemed to give the spectators more diversion. If the purpose was to stimulate school spirit, this also failed. The lack of taste displayed gave students a feeling of abhorrence rather than pride.

What then was the purpose of this exhibition? Probably the best answer lies in a remark made by one of the court's so-called officers: "Is there anyone who would like to see someone come up and make a fool of themselves?" Going by this remark, one can assume that the ration-

alization for the "Kangaroo court" was to embarrass members of the student body.

However, the only ones embarrassed were the students who were watching it. They were embarrassed to think that these collegiate exhibitionists attended the same school with them.

Junior college students are perennially complaining about the low regard that universities have for them. With juvenile actions like Fridays, which are more appropriate in a sandbox than in an institution of higher education, it is no surprise that JC's have gained the title of "high schools with ash trays."

It is especially shocking to note that this ridiculous occurrence drew greater attendance than a lecture given last week by a prominent scholar. A great deal of students were there simply because they did not feel like fighting ants and flys for their lunch on the lawn, however no one induced the students to stay for the duration of the "court."

The American Indian was forced into isolation 350 years ago by the early settlers of the United States. The government gradually segregated the Indians on reservations which are of extremely sub-standard conditions. -About two-thirds of the Indians in the country live on reservations. Homes are hovels, hogans, or shacks, few of which have bathrooms or running water. The death rates on reservations are high for new-born

WESTERN CIVILIZATION CLASSES

Palomar Instructors Head Enrichment Lecture Series "The Role of Rhetoric in Classical Greece" and "A History of Physical Education Philosophies" were the titles of two recent lectures given by Palomar C_ollege instructors in the enrichment series for Western Civilization classes.

Ron Tabor, speech instructor, defined rhetoric as "the art of the effective use of language." He told the students that its development was essential during the Golden Age of Greece because of direct participation in the government by almost all citizens. He pointed out that election by lot, which was the usual method, might make a citizen a government at any time, and also that a citizen of that era served as his own lawyer in court trials.

APPEAL DEFINED Tabor said that Aristotle's treatises on rhetoric are still useful today and explained the three modes of appeal as the Greek philosopher defined them. Of the three, appeal to reason, to emotion and ethical appeal, the speaker emphasized the latter. "People don't listen to a sp.eech as much as to a person," Tabor said. "If a speaker is honest and fair he is appealing to his audience from his personal integrity, with maximum effectiveness."

Ward Myers, athletic director, was the guest lecturer on "A History of Physical Education Philosophies," in which he cited examples from civilizations ranging from ancient China to Nazi Germany, and emphasized relationships between physical education philosophies and other cultural activities including art, literature, architecture and political goals.

ATHLHICS FOR WAR "In ancient Persia and Sparta," Myers told the students, "the emphasis on physical education was for the purpose of preparing for war." In democratic Athens, he said, the goal was to build the body beautiful and to benefit the individual.

"When Rome began to deemphasize physical education and became a nation of spectators at gory gladitorhil contests, she began the decline that led to her eventual downfall," he said. "There could well be a lesson in Rome's experience for the United States."

OTHER LECTURES Other lectures heard by Palomar students in the Western Civilization class have included two by the course instructor, Palmer N. Kremer, on "The Athenian Contribution to Democracy," and "Plato: the Man and His Works."

Members of a student steering committee recently selected to assist in planning the enrichment program include Thomas Lodico, Linda Paxton, Eugene Hall and William Diaz. Other members are Carolyn Garton, Cheryl Plank, Mrs. Joan Ramsey, Patricia Jernigan and Patrick Miller.

McGeehee Big Asset To Palomar Coaching Staff Palomar Coach Cecil (Cece) McGehee possesses an innate characteristic which is typical of most of today's Physical Education instructors. This trait - a driving interest in athletics - has motivated McGehee from his early high school days, and has become the format for his life's work. Two years of varsity football and baseball at Citrus High School in Citrus, California, started the ball rolling for McGehee and his future in athletics.

Played at Citrus

After a three year stint in the Marines, he entered Citrus Junior College. At the time, this Citrus was in Palomar's league. "I can remember playing against Palomar during a most unusual season," he recalled. "Mr. Bowman was their football coach at the time. This particular season they (Palomar) had beaten us 6-0 in a crucial game. However Palo-

Palomar Cagers Show Promise In Early Practice Sessions

By Gene McDonald Coach Joe Brennan stated that this year's Palomar College basketball team has a lot of hard work ahead if it hopes to match the rugged competition of the South Central Conference.

Brennan added that the present version of the Comet cagers will play a different brand of ball than last year due to a lack of personnel. During the 1962-63 campaign, Palomar compiled a terrific 22-6 record which gives the current squad plenty to live up to.

Key players for Brennan include Fred Boyer, a 6'6" transfer from Denver University, and Tom Van Zandt, a product of Iowa. J . B. Hollis, a diminutive 5'10" returnee from last year's team, has turned in a steady performance in the early practice sessions.

REPORT OVERWEIGHT

Vista's Steve Hancher and Jim Grey, a couple of promising newcomers, have been subject to wearing sweatshirts in practice due to reporting overweight. Brennan reported that the two former Vista High stars have been a pleasant surprise so far.

Blair Smith, out of San Dieguito High, and Escondido's Bob Crenshaw have been very impressive in practice so far

according to Brennan. Jim Kearns of Bettendorf, Iowa and Jack McNeil, from Escondido, also have shown promise.

Membership on the team has dropped from thirty to eighteen during the first two weeks of practice and Brennan expects the Comet roster to drop to fifteen during the coming week.

mar had had an ineligible player and had to forfeit the championship to us. " McGehee was an outstanding junior college athlete. His accomplishments on the gridiron didn't go unnoticed, for he was named to the All-South Central Conference backfield.

He also gained honorable mention on the J . C. All-American team.

He transferred to San Diego State where he continued to display profound football ability. For three seasons he donned an Aztec jersey and did a fine job at the halfback slot. "I also tried my hand at rugby," he grinned, "but it wasn't rough enough."

Acquires Masters

He remained in the San Diego area for two years while working on a Masters Degree in Physical Education. During this interim he taught science courses at the Crawford High School and Chula Vista elementary school.

His next move was to Escondido High where he was predominantly occupied with coaching chores. During his two years with the Cougars he piloted two J. V. football teams to championships and worked one season as junior varsity baseball coach. He also assisted with varsity track and football.

Lured To Palomar

McGehee was lured to Palomar by an opening for an assistant football coach. " I GAME TYPE SCRIMMAGE Last Friday the Palomar enjoyed Escondido very much," coach put his charges through he revealed, "but I had always a lengthy game type scrimmage. wanted to go into college teachBrennan hopes to size up his ing and this job afforded a team through this type of scrim- wonderful opportunity."

Under his direction, are boys who played Jayvee Palomar is again expected to be ball for me."

The Comets, however, occupy a major factor in the race for the bulk of McGehee's time and conference honors this year. interest. "We have a fine team," he commented , "but with only 28 men, we are considered small. However, what we lack in personnel we make up in desire.

The San Fernando JayVee gave Palomar's great team of 1962 fits before losing a close 12-7 game to the Comets at Van Nuys. The home team held a 7-0 · advantage for three periods but Palomar collected two touchdowns in the final stanza to pick up the exciting win. Present indications are that more thrills are in store for local fans Saturday night.

In the Santa Barbara game, Coach Chris Pagakis' gridders ran up against a brilliant halfback in the person of Steve Collins and just couldn't contain the Vaqueros' former all-CIF selection. The injury riddled Comets recovered three Santa Barbara fumbles early in the game but the swift hosts ran up a 27-8 halftime lead despite the miscues. Much of Santa Barbara's yardage was picked up by Collins on well executed end sweeps.

Rhinehart Scores

Quarterback Gary Rhienhart ran for Palomar's only touchdown in the 2nd quarter. Bill Jenkins, a standout on offense against Santa Barbara, successfully swept around end on a two point conversion try to complete the Comet scoring.

To add to Palomar's woes, Gary Rhinehart sustained a ·cut above his eye during the game. Rhinehart thus joins a host of other injured players in Pagakis' ranks.

Prior to the Santa Barbara game Pagakis had felt that the Comets could be hurt by the absence of veteran players who could show the less experienced members of the squad what to do when they got up against a good team.

With the big game with Palomar's highly regarded arch rival Oceanside-Carlsbad less than two weeks away, the traditional contest will represent Palomar's last hope for a championship.

Jerry Shelton Shines For Comets On Gridiron; Newcomer From Texas

By VINCENT STREANO

Jerry Shelton, an unknown player when he moved from San Diego to Poway last year, is now one of the Comet's best defensive men.

"Shelton is a tremendously hard-hitter for a kid with so few pounds," says Coach Chris Pagakis. "He is the toughest player pound for pound we have on the squad. Playing defensive lineman, he has accumulated the color of every opposing team on his helmet. This means he's a head hunter," added Pagakis.

"The team keeps a defensive chart of every game we play," commented backfield mentor Cecil McGehee, "and nearly every week Shelton is at the top."

When Shelton first came out for the team it was thought he

would play mostly offensive end, occasionally filling in as defensive lineman, but so far it has been the other way around.

Shelton is originally from Amarillo, Texas, where he played football in his sophomore and junior years in high school. In his junior year, he was voted one of the team's best all-around players.

During his Senior year he moved to San Diego, where he sat out the football season because of his late arrival.

"We have a good team this year, but we lack depth," says Shelton, "We also need a good second effort."

After football season is over this year he plans to go out for baseball. " I don't have much experience at baseball," says Shelton, "but I would like to give it a try."

Shelton is majoring in business administration. After graduating from Palomar, he wants to go to a college on the west coast, although he is undecided at the moment as to which one he will attend.

Since Shelton is only a freshman this year, he could be an even greater asset to next year's team.
