The Constitution provides for one more appointment that of athletic commissioner. Gray stated that he hoped to have this appointment made within two weeks.

Discuss Common Problems Several students on campus have discussed the idea of a club that would bring together prospective teachers and give them a chance to discuss common problems a nd hear speakers on subj ects pertaining to the field. This club will be designed for those preparing themselves to te ach in college, however, there will be no restrictions on the field in which
to get acquainted with some of the scholarly journals used by college teachers; to do research and make reports (on a voluntary basis) on current problems and possibilities in graduate schools and in various types of college teaching; and possibly to do some work, either volunteer or paid, in helping Palomar instructors by acting occasionally as a substitute teacher in a course, by grading papers, and by doing some practice teaching under the supervision of an instructor."
Grade Point Average Is Increased Beginning September 1, the minimum grade point average at Palomar College will be· raised to 2.0 according to Dr. John McGeever, dean of student personnel. Unless the student receives a 2.0 he will be placed on academic probation for one semester. If at the end of the semester, he has maintained a 2.0 he will be removed from probation. If he has not attained the grade point average, he will be suspended from day classes. The decision to raise the G.P.A. from 1.5 was made by the administration with theconsent of the faculty. Among the reasons for the change in standards according to Dr. McGeever is "to achieve unity with the other junior· colleges in our conference. All the colleges will be operating at the same level." 0-0JC Will Change Previously Oceanside-Carlsbad and Palomar were the only junior colleges in the' , area with an average of 1.5. "Oceanside will also be changing its standards," said Dr. McGeever. "About 96% of the colleges in the state have an average of2.0." Can't Hold Office During the time that the student is on probation, he will not be allowed to hold office in student body governments. "The third reason for the change is the expansion in curricula," Dr. McGeever stated. "As the curriculum expands classes are being added for students other than academic majors. This, in turn, enables us to raise our standards." He also emphasized that the raise was not to penalize students, but to raise academic standards and to encourage the student to produce more.

Well As Engineers
Engineers who start the ir higher education in a junior college are as successful in the ir professional careers as their colleagues who take all their undergraduate studies at the Un iver sity of California. The conclusion is b ased on a detailed survey of 1,050 UC alumni who graduated from the engineering d e partments at Berkeley and UCLA between 1947 and 1961. Of this number, 47 percent were complete University products, 40 percent had transferred to the University a fter completing their first two years at a junior college, and 13 percent had enrolled at the University after starting at another fouryear institution. The survey, headed by UCLA professor Harry W. Case, as part of the e ngineering department's Edu cational Development P rogram, drew some specific comparisons between the complete University products, dubbed "natives," and the junior college (JC) transfers: Income : The natives have a slight edge, with 60 pe rcent reporting 1961 incomes of $10,000 or more, compared to 54 percent for the J C transfe rs. Supervisory Responsibility: More JC transfers (51 percent) supervise at least one technical person than do the natives (43 percent). Professional Activities: Af-
ter they earn their degrees and start on the job, J C transfers take a somewhat gr eater part in all phases of professional life. Patents: J C transfers applied for more patents than the natives (18 percent vs. 14 percent), but a n e qual proportion (6 percent) in both groups have actually been gra nted one or more patents.

Campaign
Proposed
Palomar zqology major Barbara Partridge has been selected by the College of Idaho to go on its 7th Field Biology Expedition to Mexico. Students from all over the United States will gather at Caldwell, Idaho, next J une 10 a nd begin a 64-d ay science seminar a nd camping trip that will study the American Southwest and Mexico. Twenty-two students, eleven men a nd eleven women, were chosen from numerous applicants from ma ny colleges in the Uni ted States. "Applicants are screened very carefully," said Dennis Bostic, Palomar zoology instructor. "It's qu ite a feathe r in our cap for Barbara to be chosen." Background Work During the semester previous to the trip, applicants must do background work in the biological . sc iences. On the road, the program is one of concentrated study and research. Students must make individ ual plant, insect, a nd geological specimen collections a nd compile ecological profiles Students will receive 8 units of credit for their work. If they are working for upper division cr edit they must complete individual projects. Barbara is thinking of doing research on petroglyphs and pictographs (Indian rock incisions a nd pai ntings) with comparisons of the graphs in the Southwest and in Mexico. La b work is done on the trip and quizzes are given; the final exam is scheduled for Zion National Park in Utah. Seven States The group will camp in na·
tiona! parks in the U nited States. They will start off a t Ca ldw e ll, Idaho, travel through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona, across the border at Nogales, and go al ong the west coast of Mexico. They will pass through Mazatlan, Guadalaj ara, Vera Cru z, and Mexico City, and reenter the United States at Peidras Negras in Texas. On the way back they will take the trail from the south r im of the Grand Canyon to the north rim, a nd proceed back to Caldwell. Students living near the College of Idaho are already attending meetings in Caldwell, studying Spanish, biology, and related subjects. Teachers and assistants will accompany the grou p, acting as instructors and interpreters as well as doing their own research. Students in the past have included graduate students, teachers working fo r advanced degrees, and foreign exchange students from other countries. Every Two Years The expeditions are held every two years, the first one was the idea of a College of Idaho class in comparative anatomy, taught by Dr. Lyle Stanford. Palomar b iology instructor Fred Elliott was a senior and a member of the class at that time . He retu rned to Mexico i n 1955 as a graduate stud ent, in 1957 as an assistant, a nd in 1961 as coexpedition leader with Dr. Robert Bratz, who is now dir ector of the trip. Mr. Elliott's daughter Nancy, who attended Palomar, was chosen to go on the expedition in 1961.
