EDITOR'S NOTE :
The Telescope has now gone full size. We are one of four junior college newspapers of this size. (The other three being in Los Angeles wit h much larger el)rollments.) This is also the first time the Telescope has come out on the first day of school. There will not be an issue of the Telescope next week because . of limited publication dates and because school does not start until September 11, thus hampering us from forming our staff.

Dr. Frederick Huber Named New President
Extensive Expansion Plans For The Future Already Underway
"Junior Colleges are a unique and Democratic Educational System11 "Junior colleges have become institutions in their own right and, in many case, cultural and educational centers of.their communities, said Dr. Frederick R. Huber Palomar's new president. Dr. Huber was named as president last June by the board of trustees to succeed Dr. John Dunn; who resigned to become president of Peralta Junior College District in Oakland. Huber stated that California's junior colleges
Cuyamaca Leadership Conference "We hope that by work at the Leadership conference we were able to set up ground work, not only for this years student affairs, but also for years to come," said Jim Logsdon ASB President. "We will be leaving recommendations and reports for future ASB officers to follow hoping they will profit from our mistakes and successes," added Logsdon. CAMP CUYAMACA The Annual Student Leadership Conference was held last weekend at Camp Cuyamaca. "We didn't have as many students participating this year as we did last year, however they were all good workers who were actively interested in students government, and who put forth much effort towarrl our endeavors," said Logsdon.

Is Problem," Says New Director "Apathy is a problem built into the very nature of the community college" stated Joseph Malik the new Director of Student Activities when he was asked about one of last year's most controversial subjects. Malik will now fill the post formerly held by Mrs. Marjorie Wallace who has become the Women's Counselor while retaining her post as Dean of Women. Malik who is now a resident of Cardiff received his Masters Degree in School Administration from the University of Oregon. He has taught in Vancouver, Washington, and has completed a year's National Defense Education Act scholarship at San Diego State. NEW LOYALTIES The _apathy problem in the COMMUNITY college comes from the COMMUNITY where students retain loyalty to their high school thsod h t!hbads and the closeness of HOME, according to Malik. He went on to explain that four year colleges did not have the same problem in that their students usually come from areas far enough away from the school itself that these students are forced to take up new loyalties. As a solution to the apathy problem Malik sees a need for a strong student government that has the responsibility to get to all the students in all ways. The student government must also show leadership that will be looked up to by the student body. EVALUATE ACTIVITES Malik's opinion of the new

Construction of the new buildings and additions is almost complete. Dr. John Schettler, Assistant :;uperintendent of Finance says that of the building started last March the five room extension on the Language building is complete and the new Photo-journalism rooms are also complete.

"Palomar College is an outstanding example of that spirit" "SALVAGE STUDENTS" Formerly head of Monterey Peninsula Junior College, Huber added that junior colleges "while they salvage students who otherwise would not go on to higher learning from high schools, also offer a quality lower division education to highly capable students seeking four year degrees." He said they are democratic in that all students are accepted but must prove their ability and desire to profit by the opportunity. Dr. Huber said junior college academic standards are high in California and he envisions the day when the twoyear institution will be called upon to handle most lowe~ divisions classes while fouryear college and universities concentrate on upper division and graduate instruction. PROGRESS EXCELLENT President of Palo Verde Junior College, Blythe, from 1948 to 1956, Huber said he visited Palomar's campus seven years ago when it was made up for the most part of barracks building class110oms and finds the progress "excellent''. There "is great evidence of good planning and community support here," said Huber.

Stre~no Fights Board
Of'E.ducation ·To Return Vincent Streano Sophomore Class President and Sports Editor for the Telescope has won his bid to return to Palomar for his sophomore year. Streano's conflict over his return to Palomar started two months ago when he went before the Oceanside-Carlsbad school board to renew his permit to transfer from OceansideCarlsbad to the Palomar College District and was refused by the school board. GRANTED HEARING Streano went first to the President of Oceanside-Carlsbad College. Dr. John MeDonald who refused to recommend Streano's transfer on the basis of a new ruling by the Palomar college district requiring that other districts with students here at Palomar pay full costs or about 700 dollars per student. Streano then went before the County !Superintendent of Schools 'Cecil D. Hardesty and was granted a hearing before the County Board of Education. Again Streano was turned down by a vote of four to one when the whole OceansideCarlsbad School Board and Oceanside-Carlsbad College President McDonald appeared at the County Board hearing against Streano. BOARD HEARING It came out in the County Board hearing that the possible reason for Palomar's 1 new ruling, on out of district
I
students, is that a greater number of students come to Palomar, than go to other districts. It was pointed out that Palomar in the past has had as many as six Oceanside-Carlsbad students while only two Palomar students have transCered to Oceanside-Carlsbad. These students are full-time day students, and there are over one hundred night student transfers from OceansideCarlsbad. TRADE PLACES President McDonald and the Oceanside-Carlsbad School Board also refused a trade suggested by the Palomar Trustees. In effect Streano would be allowed to change places with a student from the Palomar district who wished to · go to OceansideCarlsbad board. "EMANCIPATION" Streano's solution to the problem came from a lawyer. He found out that by a legal maneuver known as "emancipation", or moving his personal residence into the Palomar College District, he could attend Palomar. This means that he has to move out of his parents residence which is now in Carlsbad. In Streano's own words, "It was a hard fight, but I thought I had a good case all along. I was pretty sure I would win, although toward the end I'll admit I was a little worried."

successful passage of the Palomar Bond Issue the previous October. It took three attempts to pass the 2.55 million dollar bond issue. Final passage coming with a 74.3% yes vote with a 66.6% needed. The present building program consisting of the new Science Language and Photo journalism buildings and remodeling of present buildings has cost 1.111 mill ion dollars. An extensive expansion program for the future is already underway with plans for eventual expansion up the hill behind the school. Plans for the near future call for the construction of Women's Physical Education, Electronics and Art-Music bu ildings with addit10ns to be added to the Student Union, Library and Administration buildings. These projects are scheduled to be; gin in December and their completion is expected before the opening of school in the Fall o.f 1965. 1 AHEAD SCHEDULE . Dr. Schettler said he was 1 pleased with the work done to !date. He reported that the I present building program is ahead of schedule and that Paul Rabe believes the quality of the work to be excellent. The school has already purchased the furniture for the Science Building so it will be r~ady for use almost . immeI d1ately upon completiOn of J construction. BASIC APPEARANCE All the buil~ i ngs on the campus were des1gned by the San Diego Architectural firm of Paderewski, Dean & Associates. The brick and stucco ?asic a.ppearance. of the buildmgs w1ll be contmued for all buildings on planned. Dr. Schettler would not say whether future buildin~s too would be of the same destgn. INCRE~SE CAPACITY Expanswn ~f the . school campus to the h1ll behmd the present cam.pus Dr. Schettler sees ~s bet.ng necessary in from SIX to eight years.

INew Honors I. Program Set I For Students "There is a need to offer interested students an opportunity for investigation along of study," stated Dwight H. Boehm , Chairman of the Humanities Division. He said this when describing the honors program being offered this semester in Political Science. He went on to say that the honors course gives not only the regular class material but also the student will be' provided with an opportunity individual study on specialized topics that would not normally be taken up in regular classes. DISCUSSION SEMINARS The class work in the honors program will center on d iscuss ion seminars based upon outside reading. The student will be responsible for completing studies for the most part on his own. Scheduling the class hours will be by arrangement. Meaning that all students who have registered will meet with the instructor, Dr. Kenneth W. Grisingher, and decide on a time for meeting which is convient to all involved. LARGE LECTURES Boehm went on to point out that many four year colleges are doing away with the small section courses which require instructors to give the same lecture many different times. Instead they are turning to the large lecture followed by small group or individual con· erences or seminars so that 1 instructors only have to give a lecture once. So since one of the primary purposes of the mmunity college is to prepare students for upper division work instituting t he seminar approach to teaching is in accord with the aims of the community college. RESEARCH PROJECTS With the new buildings being completed Boehm forsees a change to the big lecture system here at Palomar in the not to far distant future. He alsQ believes that with the success of the honor program in Political Science the individual study seminar courses will be instituted in other fields such as Language, Physics , and Chemistry. A possible outgrowth being student research projects like those done in graduate work.
