Science Buildings AI most ~om plete

Congressman Utt Explains Issues

Palomar To House Two New Telescopes And New Planetarium "Palomar's science department will be one of the best in California." This statement has been used by Charles A. Coutts, Chairman of the Business, Science and Technology Division; and by Kent Ehyood Backart, Head of the Chemistry Department, in describing the advances being made . possible by the completion of the new science building. The present Science Building houses Chemistry, Physics and Life Science. After the new building is completed Physics alone will occupy the old building and Chemistry, Life Science, Geology and Astronomy will occupy the new building. Life Science , . alone will have approximately eight times the room it has at present according to Coutts. From Almost Nothing Geology is now the 1ast of the sc·iences in the old barracks buildings located at the west end of the campus. Joseph H. Hydock, Head of the Earth Science Department, planned and built the rooms in which Geology is now located. Coutts describes Geology as having "almost nothing" at the present time. Live Animals Life Science will have approximately eight times the room it has now, according to Coutts. Harold E. Cheyney instructor in the Biological Sciences reported on some of the new facilities that will be available in the new Science Building. He reported that at the present time the Life Science Department has a marine aquarium and an electrocardiograph for the medical assistant program. The new building will also house a five by eight display window in which the Zoology Department will have various displays of live animals. Separate Labs Chemistry will now have· separate laboratories for quantitative analysis and organic chemistry. Some of the new equipment purchased last year which will now see full service in the new building is a spectro-photomograph and analytical balances of the Metier single pan dial type. Kent Elwood Backart, Head of the Chemistry Department, commented that he was very enthusiastic about the advances of the Science Department made possible by the new building and the tremendous assets the facilities will give students. Two Telescopes Astronomy will receive the most benefits from the new building. Coutts reported that up -till now Astronomy has had no rooms of its own. With the new building Astronomy will get its own rooms, a planetarium and two telescopes. 1

Cast For First Play Selected

.. CONGRESSMAN James B. Utt signs an

autograph after speaking on the campus last Friday. Speaking of a breakdown in internal security, he emphasized the lack of investigation of Shilagh Rigamiden and Steve employees in federal positions.

Lewis have been cast in the lead roles for the -"Male Animal", a satirical play to be produced at Palomar. The play will run for two week-ends in mid-November in the Arena Theater. NO UNDERSTUDIES Other cast members will be Christy Howell, Ben McCracken, James D. Ryan, Paul Marvel , James Coker, Andrea Salmon, Suzanne Kammerer, Tom Wilbur, Cory Lent, Jack Mancilia, and Glen Bailey. According to Frank White, drama instructor, there will be no understudies for the play. Instead he will have a female assistant director, who will be expected to know all the female roles. If an actress becomes ill, she will take over that part for the performance. If a male member of the cast is unable to perform, White will play the role. CLOSE CONTACT White will direct using methods originated in movies and television production. He ' feels that although these techniques may present technical difficulties, they will estab, !ish close emotional contact with the audience. According to White, students who participate in the production as members of the cast, publicity workers or backstage crew may receive one unit.ofcredit if they desire. "The Male Animal" is an original play by James Thurber and Elliott Nugent. It was first produced on Broadway in 1940 starring Nugent. It· was later made into a movie with Henry Fonda. ENGLISH PROFESSOR The play is about an English professor at a Midwestern College who becomes the focus of controversy after the dismissa! of three professors accused of "Red" sympathies. The situation is complicated when the school becomes involved with football fanati( Continued on page 3)

·Publicity Committee To Police All Publicity Any Questionable Publicity Will Be Reported To The Committee It was announced at a Publicity Committee meeting on October 13 that the Committee will now police all on-campus student publicity. The decision was reached by Dr. Fred Huber, president of the college, after student representatives requested that the Publicity Committee be given the responsibility. If any administrator, faculty member, or student finds objectionable publicity on campus, they report it to the Committee. If the Committee decides that it is objectionable, the Publicity Chairman is then given the power to re• move it. · ..'I AGAINST REGULATIONS Barbara Partridge, publicity committee chairman, also announced that it is against publicity regulations to fasten any item to the white acoustic tile in the Student Union or student c!'assrooms. However, publicity may be placed on plaster walls, smooth overhangs, and windows in the Student Union. Material may also be put on any of the bulletin boards located around campus. MAIN CAMPUS Terry Dunbar, a committee member, was appointed to take charge of the large bulletin board for October. The board is located at the begin-

11

ning of the main campus driveway, and contains announcements that are pertinent to the entire student body. The committee is composed of representatives from the various organizations on campus. This includes the clubs, special Associated Student committees, and the Political parties. By having a representative attend the committee meetings, the organization is entitled to use Associated Student paper and paints for club activities. Concerning the attendance of t he representative s, Barbara said, "Attendance the past few meetings has been scarce. It would be easier for more organizations to get the publicity they need for activities if their representatives would attend."

Crime, Corruption, And Counci I To Are Main Take Action Communism 11 1 lssueS of Utt Campaign On Drinking "Crime, corruption, and S communism are the

Last Tuesday the Administrative Council held a meeting. The purpose was to determine what action should be taken as a result of the performance of a small number of the student body displayed Saturday, October 10, at the after-game dance. CROWDED AGENDA Mr. Malik, Dean of Student Activities, brought forth the suggestion that the next two after-game dances be cancelled. However, due to the crowded agenda, and the fact that the council would not be able to meet until Tuesday, Mr. Malik withdrew his suggestion. COMPLEX PROBLEM The decision to dismiss any more dances, was too important and complex a problem to reach a hasty decision. Since the council would not reconvene until this Tuesday, the council gave Don Hon, Freshmen Class President, permission to have the Freshmen sponsored dance as scheduled on Saturday, October 24. The council felt that four days notice would not allow enough time to prepare an adequate dance. SOME POLICY A suggestion was presented, that some policy be inacted to deal with any similar incidents occuring in the future. Dr. McGeever, Dean of Student Personnel, stated, "I am extremely disappointed in those few individuals, who so endangered the privileges of all the other students at Palomar. I feel that this is a situation which the students themselves should handle. My sympathy remains with that majority of the student body who still conduct themselves as adults and future leaders of a great country." NO ACTION As yet, no action one way or the other has been taken by the administrative council. Probably the results of todays' meeting will bring forth the answer as to whether or not Palomar students will continue to have after-game dances.

main issues in this campaign," said Congressman James B. Utt as he spoke to about 250 persons at Palomar College on October 16. Speaking of a breakdown in internal security, he emphasized the lack of investigation of employees in federal positions. He also criticized the burning of State Department security files. MORAL CODES Worried about the expan· sion of Communist encirclement, Mr. Utt stated that there are "no good Communists. They are all atheists without moral codes." And for this rea· son, he opposed foreign aid to Tito and Sukarno. Utt stated that the aid for Sukarno was used to "purchase planes and girl friends." GREAT SOCIETY SP,eaking of President Lyn-

Sweat Shirt Day Planned

For Friday Friday is Sweatshirt Day. Friday students are asked to wear the Red and Gray Rooters Sweatshirts. The Executive Council of the Associated Student Body proposed the Sweatshirt Day to encourage participation in the Pep Rally Friday before the first league football game. DRESS CODE The Red and Gray sweatshirts are available in the Bookstore and it is requested that students wear one if possible at Fridays rally. The school dress code will be relaxed that day to permit girls to wear Capris with their sweatshirts. MESA COLLEGE The football game will be Saturday evening against Mesa College at the Escondido High School football field. The game will be followed by an After-game Dance in the Student Union. A member of the football team commented that this first league game is the most important to establish our team as a winner after the early season losses.

don Johnson's Great Society, Mr. Utt commented that members of such a society would eventually belong to the mediocrity of the masses. Tracing the development of the Great Society, he said that it originated in 1850 in opposition to the industrial society and became a Fabian socialist organization. EXECUTIVE BRANCH On the issue of corruption, Mr. Utt said that there "is a moral breakdown today . People can vote against it or vote for it." Attacking the Bobby Baker case, he criticized the chairman for holding back further investigation until after the election, and asserted that there are conflicts of interest in Congress as well as the Executive branch. NUCLEAR WEAPONS Supporting Senator Goldwater's views, he said that he alsoJs opposed to the test ban treaty without inspection. Congressman Utt agreed that it is wrong to not give military commanders the right to use nuclear weapons. "President Johnson seems to be more interested in political security than military security in this matter," said Mr. Utt. "We would have been destroyed before he knew that Russia attacked us when he campaigned last week." AMERICAN WAY Also on the election, he said that President Johnson and Senator Salinger are "afraid to mention Communism in a derogatory statement." At this time, he also commented that there were "no pickets here who dislike Communists." Answering several of the pickets that greeted him, Congressman Utt said, "I'd sell T.V.A. ' to local interests. Capitalism is the American way of life." "I support the John Birch Society completely. It is a patriotic organization that attracts a membership of fine dedicated Americans.
