Raise In Coffee Price

On Primary Ballot Students To Vote For ASB President, All Other Offices Remain Unopposed

By KATHY HEDICKE

One of the propositions to be included in tomorrow's ASB election is the possibility of raising the price of coffee and cocoa from ten cents to twenty cents a cup. " If you are against this proposition, if you don't want to pay twenty cents for a cup of coffee, we urge you to come to the polls and vote this proposition down," said Hie Thompson, Elections Committee Chairman.

Another proposition to appear on the ballot will be a possible amendment to the constitution. This proposition states whether a council member may Del Webb's Ocean House in run for another office without Mission Bay will be the setting first resigning from his present for Palomar's Christmas formal position .

"Hong Kong In Color" will be the featured event at tile International Club meets today day at 11 a.m. in R-4.

The guest speaker will be Clark Lum , a foreign student from Hong Kong studying at Palomar this year. He will show slides and give a general lecture on his native land.

Clark will also discuss "Project Concern, Inc.", a program to find homes and supply clothing, food, and medicine for the refugees in Red China.

Project Concern has a clinic on a converted 63 foot cargo junk that is anchored in Yaumati Typhoon Shelter off Kowloon , Hong Kong. The name of the boat is Yauh Oi (Brotherly Love), Clark said.

The Kowloon Walled City is a "filthy, square-ridden area " of some ten city blocks. Around the Yaumati Typhoon Shelter is a floating population of 45,000 people.

Dr. Jim Turpin, founder of "People Concern" says that malnutrition is the most common disease among the people of the Walled City. He sees over 150 patients a day.

Everyone is invited to hear this lecture and plea for help for the people of Red China.

Palomar College trustees adopted a formal proposal last Tuesd~y nigh~, invit!ng the San DieguJto Umon High School District to join the college in forming a larger district "that could provide a better educationa! program for residents of the region served than any other solution to the junior college question in this area."

The Palomar resolution specified that in such a consolidation the San Dieguito district would not be asked to assume any portion of the existing bonded indebtedness of the Palomar district.

STATEMENT REQUESTED The resolution was drafted to comply with a recent request

by San Dieguito trustees for Palomar to provide a statement of specific conditions acceptable to the college district for such an expansion. The two boards had met in a joint session Nov. 26 for an " exploratory" discussion of the subject.

The Palomar proposal, offering to accept the high school district without bond debt obligation, said this concession was made " in recognition of the fact that San Dieguito district has paid $300 per student for seven years toward the current capital investment of the college."

PETITION ASKED The Palomar porposal suggested that San Dieguito trustees petition the County Board

of Supervisors to call an election for this purpose. Passage would . require o~ly ~ majo~it~ vote, smce San DieguJto partJcJ?ati~n in t~e college bond debt IS bemg waived.

The plan also proposed that in event of merger the expanded district be governed by a board of seven members, increased from the present fi ve , and that the area be divided into wards to assure San Dieguito of representation.

INCREASE CITED Palomar pointed out in the resolution that " enrollment from the San Dieguito district is increasing each year at Palomar, the rate of increase being more rapid than the rate of assessed valuation in the San Dieguito district and therefore the tuition tax rate being paid

by San Dieguito residents shows every indication of rising. " Enrollment from San Dieguito reached 474 students and the San Dieguito tax went to 31.1 cents per $100 this year.

The resolution also said that the formation of the new district would clarify questions involved in the location of a second Palomar campus, a development that trustees said was quite likely to occur in the next 10 years.

The conditions listed in the proposal were given a time limit to July 1 for decision by San Dieguito trustees.

John McGeever, Dean of Student Personnel, has reported that registration for the spring semester has not matched the enrollment at this time last year. Dean McGeever has pointed out that students may be lagging in their registration for the spring semester because of the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays.

McGeever pointed out that "Many students will be disappointed when they apply for classes and find them closed. We would like to get all of the students registered before Christmas vacation."

He stated that an early registration would avoid a lot of last-minute rush and a great deal of confusion.

QUICKER GRADUATION

Tri-Semester Plan Studied By Administration The possibility of finishing junior college in a year and a half and a four year college in three years, is being utilized and considered by many colleges and universities in California.

There have been many committees established to research various plans for using college facilities a full year rather than for just the traditional eight or nine months. Two systems being examined are the tri-semester and the quarter plan, explained President Dunn.

Under the tri-semester plan, students may attend classes three full semesters per year instead of two. Each term is the equivalent of a semester in the traditional two-term system.

TERMS ARE SHORTER In the quarter plan, students may attend classes four terms in a year. The terms are shorter than the traditional semesters, and students, consequently, take fewer courses per quarter. But both plans make it possible for a student to graduate in three rather than four years. "The purpose of the system is to get students through college in a shorter period of time and to allow more people the opportunity to attend college," Dunn said.

If Palomar should adopt a year-round system, the system would mesh with either the tri-semes-

ter plan of the University of California or with any system that might be impremented by some state colleges.

"We, as a junior college, however, will not use this system unless all the other colleges and universities in California adopt it too."

TRANSFER CITED "It would be too much of a handicap on the student, if he wanted to transfer to a four year college not using the system," Dunn said. "Probably the whole state, except areas that have a heat problem during the summer, will soon follow the same pattern. The system will probably start here within the next five years."

Edward H. Litchfield, chancellor of the University of l,'ittsburgh, which has been operating under the tri-semester system since 1959, says, in a Saturday Review article, that 28 colleges have adopted the plan in the last three years, and 85 colleges are known to have committees investigating the plan.

USING PLAN Institutions now using the tri-semester plan includes the entire higher educational system of the State of Florida , the Akland campus of Michigan state, the University of Michigan, and Harpur College of the Liberal Arts in Bingham-

ton, New York.

The University of California is experimenting with it in its graduate business administration and education programs; New York University has it for the College of Medicine and Dentistry.

The tri-semester plan at the University of Pittsburgh lengthens the school year to 11 months, according to Chancellor Litchfield. The three semesters are divided by the Christmas holidays, the Easter holiday, and a month-long summer holiday.

SAME WORK COVERED He says, "the same amount of work is ... covered in each semester as was covered in the semester under the previous system, and credits from a tri-semester at one institution are transferable to semester credits at another without penalty. The bachelor's and master's degrees can be earned in the same number of years as were previously required for undergraduate work alone, and in some cases in fewer.

If we are to adopt this system we would consequently need a larger faculty, and this along with other factors, would bring higher instruction costs. There, of course, would be greater utilization of the classrooms and campus. And eventually through demand, Palomar would grow larger and larger.

DIANE LICHTENBERGER SAYS

pangs of hunger ... and growing pains

by Tom Gable "Tomorrow is Christmas" he said.

"Yes, I know." She turned away from the table where he sat drinking coffee and walked to the window. "It's cold out," she said, looking outside and watching little flakes of snow drift by.

"Ruth?"

"Hmmmmm?"

"What can I tell them, the kids I mean?''

"God, I don't know, I really don't." She shifted her weight to the other foot and looked back over her shoulder at him. "I tried to think but I just couldn't. Anyway, I don't think they would have understood, not at their age. " She moved back to the window and leaned against the sill, looking out at the harsh white of dirty snow packed along the sidewalks.

He looked up from his coffee and stared at his wife's back.

She stood there, no longer standing straight, with stooped shoulders and slouching posture. He hurriedly turned his eyes away from her and moved. his gaze across the room, finally stopping at a small green object in the corner of the room.

"Look," he said, pointing to the Christmas tree. A tiny, pathetic little tree stood in the corner of the kitchen with one string of lights burning dully. A string of popcorn wound from the top to the bottom and a few pieces of tinfoil dangled from the shedding limbs. "Do you know how much that damn thing cost?"

"Yes," she said, turning away from the window again. "Three dollars and twenty cents for the tree, one dollar and ninetyseven cents for the lights and one-sixty-three for the bulbs and hangers, making a grand total of six dollars and eighty cents, I think. I could n_ever forget, you've told me at least ten times, and that was just tonight.

"Don't yell at me, damn it, it's not my fault they aren't going to be visited by Santa Claus." " No, it was nobody's fault, but still, you should have told them something, anything. Instead you put it off and put it off until it's too late."

"Why didn't you tell them earlier if you thought it would be this bad?" · She turned to the window before answering, with her back to him. "I couldn't, that's all, I couldn't. " She rested her head against the window pane and closed her eyes. "They wouldn't understand anyway."

"Do you think they'll understand any better tomorrow?" he yelled.

"That's it, yell at me, now it's' my fault. I didn't tell them, you d;un't tell them, nobody told them. All they'll see tomorrow is that ugly little tree sitting there with nothing under it, and they'll think he passed them by, because nobody told them."

"I'll go tell t hem now."

"Would that be any better, I mean would it be any easier on them? " "I don't know. Maybe, maybe not. But we can't let them get up in the morning and expect something that they'll never get."

"What time is it?" she said.

He pulled the sleeve up on his khaki work shirt and looked at the hands on his watch. "A little after midnight."

"Are you? " "I guess so." He pushed the empty coffee cup away from him and leaned back in the chair. "Yeh , I guess so."

He stood up and turned away from the ta ble, walking slowly toward the bedroom. He hesitated before grabbing the doorknob but then, as quietly as possible, he opened the door.

The light from the kitchen shone in on the single bed where two little boys were sleeping, their mouths open, breathing loudly. He walked over to the bed and sat down, on the corner by their heads. He shook them.

"Timmy, Johnny, come on boys, wake up." The little ones rolled over in protest, grunting, and pulling the covers tightly over their heads. "C'mon, c'mon," he said, shaking harder.

They finally realized that it was not a dream and slowly opened their eyes, blinking at the glare coming from the kitchen. One little boy sat up and rubbed his eyes sleepily while the other just rolled over to face his father.

"Huhhh? " said the littlest one, his eyes finally becoming used to the intruding light. "Huhh, daddy, duhhh ?"

"Boys, something bad has happened ," he said, his voice almost breaking. "It happened a while back but I didn't want to tell you. Are you listening? " "Uh-huh daddy."

He looked at one of the boys, and then the other, his eyes rimmed by tears. He swallowed hard and then looked at the wall on the far side of the room.

"Santa Claus is dead," he cried, and then ran out of the room, through the kitchen and out the door, into the night.

Vote Turnout Is Ludicrous Approximately one hundred students voted in the runoff elections for the freshman class vice-president. Although the runoff was limited to freshman voters, this turnout epitomizes the voting evidenced in all the recent elections for sophomore, freshman, AWS, and AMS councils. Of 1750 students enrblled in day classes, less than ten percent came out to exercise their voting privilege.

Tomorrow the entire slate of offices on the ASB council except AMS and AWS presidents will be voted on by the entire , student body. This is your election, and these candidates want your vote. We would like you to take an active part in your school government. We are asking you to exercise your voting privilege.

A lack of initiative or a lack of concern?

Some who don't vote, if asked why, will state a lack of time for a reason. The polls are open from 9:00 to 3:00. Try again. Was the choice of candidates too limited? Is this the reason you'll use? Why not take out a petition and run yourself? Or you could encourage qualified persons to run for office. Try again.

There is NO acceptable reason for ignoring these elections and their importance.

This government is a small scale replica of the local, state, and federal governments.

This interest OR disinterest in exercising the voting privilege will carry into national elections. We hope that the students who fail to recignize that privilege now, will be able to recognize it by the time they reach voting age. In the national elections of 1900 64.5% of the citizens eligible to vote exercised their franchise. Maybe the percentage will increase in the future.

When you vote, go to the polls with some idea of who you want to vote for, of who is best qualified. A qualified council will make a strong government. A strong government is a government of the people.

Lincoln, in his Gettysburg Address, appealed to the people to work harder for democracy, "That g_overnment of the people, by the people, for the peopJe shall not perish from this earth." Our entire system of government is based on equal liberty and on free vote. EXERCISE your franchise, and vote in tomorrow's election.

Every vote cast is a vote for democracy!

FULL COURT PRESS

Santa Ana used a full court press on the Comets during the start of the game, which put a damper on Palomar's scoring.

Defensively the Comets played a poor game, according to Brennan. Their rebounding was off, but this was partly due to the superior height of the Santa Ana crew.

Free throws again were a big factor in the game, the Commets only making 18-35.

Tonight the Comets will take on Ventura City College in hopes of bringing home their first victory of the season.

The game will be played at Ventura , beginning at 8 p.m.

Palomar, now 0-7 on the year, lost to a good Santa Ana City College team 72-46 in the other All-American outing for the Comets.

When referring to Palomar's winless record , it must be taken into consideration that Brennan's quintet has been playing some of the nation's finest junior college basketball teams.

Included in the Comet loss skein are defeats by such well regarded opponents as Riverside City College, Fullerton, Orange Coast, Long Beach City College and Santa Ana. SCC PLAY OPENS JANUARY 3

Bre nnan is expected to start his regular lineup during the upcoming road games. This lineup includes: Bob Crenshaw and Blair Smith at the forward spots; guards, J. B. Hollis and Steve Hancher with Fred Boyer playing center.

Catering Contracted . A contract has been let to Paul Lester Catering Service for athletic events on campus.

It was decided by the ASB Council to give the contract to Lester because he could offer refreshments at less cost to the student than the previous Caterer.

The previous service had to be set up in a booth resulting in extra expense to cover the labor. Lester will be offering his service from a catering truck with all food being preprepared. The truck will be located in the usual place and will only take minutes to set up.
