Students interested in dramatic-s should meet in room F25 at 11 a.m. tomorrow. Well Qualified

For his Master's thesis, he wrote on the Swedish dramatist, August Strindberg. "Taught At Vista"

Mr. Frank White

New Class Presents A Challenge "A teacher can assume that the students who sign up for the honors program are deeply interested in the subject, and this is a delight to any teacher," stated Dr. Kenneth Grisingher. He made the statement when describing the progra. .• now being offered in the f1dd of Political Science. The classes are not conventional lecture meetings but rather use the seminar approach, with discussions among the twelve students currently enrolled. FEDERALIST PAPERS

The students will study the principles of government and politics in the United States. The course begins with reading for background such basic influences as Aristotle and Machiavelli. The historical . background of the Constitution is studied through the Federalist Papers and the evolution of democracy in America ·through such writers as Alexis de Tocquville. A great deal of the course of study consists of outside reading, plus reports and critical papers.

After acquiring his Master's degree in drama, he taught drama for two years at Vista High School. After the completion of those two years, he shifted his teaching to English. For five more years he taught English at that same school. White resigned from his career as a teacher last June in order to pursue a professional acting career.

New Class Offers Many Special Talks Palomar College started its second year of adding enrichment features to its Western Civilization Course with special lectures by Dr. John D. Schettler, Mr. Roy R. Archer, and Mr. Abraham Gruber of the Palomar faculty.

ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

An enrichment program, originally conceived by Dean of Instruction, Virgil L. Bergman, and Dwight H. Boehm, Head of Humanities Division, was implemented for the first time last year by the course instructor, Palmer N. Kremer. The basic idea of the program, Kremer explained, was to invite various members of the faculty to serve as guest lecturers from time to time on topics in which they are specialists, and to add other features to the course such as field trips that will help to make it a truly enriching experience for students. "Instructors and students re- · sponded enthusiastically to the program last year," he added, "and have begun to show the same response during the current year."

"The total number of votes recorded Friday, Sept. 25, at the A.S.B. and cheerleader ele.ction was not as great as we had hoped for. It was, however, an improvement over previous elections, and we only hope that the school spirit that has already been displayed this year will continue to grow and improve our Palomar campus," stated Jim Logsdon, A.S.B. President. Logsdon further stated, "That the reason that

Currently, White is rehearsing the wonderful comic lead . role of J.: ··:well Archer in "Once M ' , c, With Feeling". This production will be presented at San Diego's Old Globe Theater, and the opening performance will be on October 6. The scheduled run of this humorous play will be four weeks. Years Experience

The Club, in its second year of existence, hopes to SJi!Onsor several political speakers including James Utt and Bob Wilson, local. Congressman, and Hale Ashcraft, area Assemblyman. The YRs also want to obtain any other state and national Republican leaders that can be scheduled. Jim Ellison, president of the Young- Republicans, said that plans are also being formulated to organize a debate team to debate pertinent political and social issues with the Young Democrats. These debates will be open to all students.

"The United States key foreign policy problem is the war in Viet Nam," said Senator Pierre Salinger addressing Palomar st~dents yesterday. "The war in Viet Nam is going to be long, hard, and frustrating, but I think an American withdrawal is unthinkable at this time." "We are now being _put to the ultimate test" Salinger went on to say, "if America fails to stand firm in VietNam we are inviting the "Reds" to gain another foot-hold. A victory in South Viet Nam would put an end to Communist intervention in other countries. The prospects for an early victory are very low because of the unstable political situation. The war is a test of the determination of the American people."

GREATLY HAMPERED

This greatly hampered Castro's chances for control in Latin America. Salinger's most important point was that the "U.S. must Last week a new student organization made its continue to play an active· role first entry into the campus scene. This club was in the world.

the turnout at the polls was not as large as we had expected, could probably be attributed to the fact that there was no one to contest the office of Freshman President" THREE PETITIONS Only three petitions were

taken out for the office of Freshman President. Among these three petitions only two were returned to the A.S.B. office and only one of the two remaining petitioners was eligible to run fo r the office of Freshman President. As was p reviously stated by Logsdon, the number of votes which were recorded was not large, considering the size of the Palomar student body. Out of 1,634 qualified voters, only 270 votes were recorded at the polls. DON HON ELECTED

As could be expected, the new Freshman Class President was Don Hon, who received a majority of 196 votes. Surprisingly, there was a large number of write-ins. The two persons who received a majority of the write-in votes were Greg Gumbrell , and :Bernie Martinez. REPRESENTATIVES AT LARGE

The three students, chosen as representatives at large, were Mayilyn Stewart, Karl A. Johnson and Sandra Emsback. Miss Stewart received a total number of209 votes. Mr. Johnson 180 votes, and Miss Emsback 177 votes. Once again, there were a number,of writeins. The two students receiving the most number of votes were, Jay Dyke, and Mike Bishop. TWO-WAY TIE

Any Palomar student who plans to ride the bus will also be able to purchase dinner previous to departure in the Student Union for an additional $1.25. The buses will leave at 4:45, and dinner will be served at4:00. 40 STUDENTS MINIMUM

Plans are underway to pro.vide buses to all away Comet games. This will include College of the Desert scheduled at Palm Springs and the Grossmon t and Southwestern games. The number of buses taken to each game will depend on the number of reservations. A minimum of 40 students are needed for each bus.

The SPP Palomar's first political party, was formed last semester by a group of students interested in encouraging more participation in student government. At this time, the Party came out with a platform of nine planks. PARKING SPACE NEEDED

Since the election, in which the Party won all offices but one, action has been taken on several planks. Among these was the extension of the snack bar hours until later in the evening. The Party also wanted the administration to recognize the need for more parking lots and a better poster policy. As a result, discussion is now underway concerning posters and another parking lot was provided with the expansion of the college. Among its other planks, the SPP planned to hold a fund drive to build a stadium and theater. Various suggestions have been formulated for such

a project. Others were the extension _of the library hours, a better fmal exam schedule, a positive program for academic freedom , and a co-ordinating committee of studen~s, faculty, and administratwn. Jim Logsdon, ASB President who was elected under the SPP platform said, "The SPP has done much to encourage participation in student government, to arousr interest and enthusiasr•\, ana to carry out the plan: of its platform."

REPRESENTS IDEOLOGY

"However, to be of any use, a political party must repre· sent its ideology against another ideology. And for this reason I hope that another group of students will form a political party and oppose the SPP. The SPP will fight them, but will be glad of the opposition. And I'm sure that the students will both be interested and benefit by the conflict."
