Congressman Van Deerlin Speaks Here Tomorrow
Classical Hero Dr. Crews' Topic
New Editor I Will Speak On 89 Congress For Telescope And November Third Elections Lionel Van Deerlin, democratic congressman Selected from the 37 District in San Diego, will address
Humility Qualifies Hero By BARBARA EMMOTT
"The hero in the classical sense cannot exist in a democratic society," said Dr. Frederick C. Crews, Humanities Lecture speaker, Friday. Dr. Crews, associate professor of American Literature at Berkeley, was the speaker in the field of literature. He chose as his topic "The Hero in Ameri· can Literature." TRUE HEROES
The true literary hero, according to Dr. Crews, takes no thought of others. His actions are ne ither virtuous, nor motivated by humility, but they possess a vivid force which we call "heroism." In this respect, modern heroes are not true heroes; John Glenn is not Achilles. The soldier Achilles did not concern himself with his country or with the war. He is a hero because he did mighty deeds for his own glory; he is larger than life. CLASSICAL IMAGE
George Washington is a typical American contrast with the classical image of the hero. Washington served his country before himself; here presents obedience, and thus is not heroic in the true literary sense. The American hero can have force only if ordinary from the literary point of view. Heroism must be qualified by comedy, or pathos, or humility. Americans dislike the conceited self-. glorifying type of hero that Achilles typifies. AVERAGE MAN
Alexis de Toqueville brought this out in his classic "Democracy in America. " A democracy he said, seeks to pull an outstanding man down to its own level. A · hero cannot thrive, for the average man looks not to the privileged classes or to the strong and mighty in battle for authority, but to the majority. The decision-maker (the majority) is a multiplication of small, ordinary people. DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY
Thus a single man is reduced to harmlessness, but the democratic society substitutes another type of hero - the "collective hero" who epitomizes the dream of men working together. Democracy looks to the future, to the perfectability of man; superhuman deeds may be done, but only the efforts of the many. When Walt Whitman wrote "Song of Myselr' he wrote not of one individual but of coltive democratic Man. He saw himself as the embodiment of the society he celebrated; " I am everybody." GREAT APPEAL
Nevertheless, there is an element of silliness in Whitman's "barbaric yawp" that once again points out the lack of pure heroic might in American literature. (Continued to Page 3)
The Publications Board reversed a previous editorial policy of not allowing any literary material in the Telescope when it decided that the Telescope could have a literary column. The column, headed by Larry Smith, will consist of short stories, poems, and essays. Any student who wishes can submit material to be printed can leave it at the Telescope office.
All States Represented At Palomar Far-ranging students from Illinois, New York and Texas followed in that order after native-born Californians in an origin study of states of birth of students currently enrolled in day classes. If the enrollment figures analyzed by Dean of Admissions, Robert L. Burton, can be credited as a valid index to where everybody is coming from to live in North San Diego County, then the answer appears to be, said Burton, "that they're coming from everywhere." The enrollment lists 51 states (counting Washington, D. C.) as places of birth of Palomar students, so the North County population truly must be a cross-section of all America. CALIFORNIA LEADS
California easily led with 746. Surprisingly enough, Illinois was second as state origin of birth for 65 students, and New York was third with 55. Close fourth were the 51 native-born Texans, followed by Michigan, 39; Ohio and Washington, 38, and Pennsylvania, 36. Massachusetts-born totaled 35, and Minnesota and Iowa each contributed 24. All states were represented, ranging down to one student each born in Alaska, Delaware and Vermont. Nine were born in Hawaii. In addition, one student was listed as "born at sea" and 62 were born in foreign lands, including 12 in Canada, eight in Mexico, five in Germany and four in Holland. The foreign-born list includes such far-away origins as Australia, China, Hungary, Lithuania, Nepal, Norway, Poland, Tahiti and Turkey. Dean Burton said the study of state origins concerned itself only with 1,643 students enrolled in regular day classes and no attempt was made to include an analysis of birth places of those enrolled in adult education or night classes.
LITERARY WORK
Smith will pick out the literary work to be published in the column, but the editor of the Telescope will still have the final say as to whether it will appear. STIMULATE INTEREST "It is hoped that this liter-
ary column will stimulate interest in creative writing among the students of Palomar, and also be a weekly reminder about Bravura, the campus literary magazine that comes out in the spring semester," stated Brett Harada, a representative of the column. INCREASE NEWS
Pictured here in a dramatic scene, Steve Lewis, Cory Lent, Tom Wilbur, from "The Male Animal," presented Paul Marvel, and Christy Howell. Phoro by Croig tonight and tomorrow night at 8:30;
GROUP COUNSELING FRIDAY
New Final Procedure New Registration Method Now Set Set For Spring Semester
Virgil Bergman, Dean of Instruction, has announced the procedure for any student who has three finals scheduled on one day to have one of them removed. Dean Bergman said that this is entirely voluntary and that the student may take three finals in one day if he wishes. During final week, three exam periods wiU be scheduled. This has been the procedure followed for many years. THINGS TO DO
If the schedule falls so that the student has three finals on the same day, there are tu;o things he may do. He may ask any one of his instructors for a different time period to take the final. But if all three instructors refuse to make different arrangements or if that is impossible, the student may see Dean Bergman. If there is then no possibility of a different time period, Dean Bergman will pickup the final and. administer it to the student himself.

December 4, 1964 To Whom it may concern, Due to my lack of responsibility that has been prompted by my lack of desire and fostered by a collection of blase,- pompous idiots, who offer no intellectual or creative stimulation, I find it necessary for my own personal betterment to resign from my position as A.S.B.
