Students Harsh In Views·
Results Surprising
Political Science ClasseS PoUed On Juvenile Violenc~ Editor's Note: Recent outbreaks of violence by youths in the North County area has prompted Roy A. Archer, Political Science instruc· tor. to take an informal opinion poll of his classes. The results of that poll will be published in a three part series in the TELESCOPE.

clubs. It was under his auspices that the Young Democrats and the Student Progressive Party were started. Last year Archer worked with the Young Democrats · and their counterparts the Young Republicans to conduct a mock presidential election.
As a result of recent outbreaks of violence in SURPRISED BY POLL Archer confid'ed that he was quite surprised by the North County area, Roy A. Archer, Political the results of the poll. He fel t. that the students Science Instructor has been motivated to take were unusually harsh in their views. Starting with an informal opinion poll to find out what his students think of these acts. Archer is the sponsor a basic question, "Do teenagers committ more and initiator of many of the campus' political anti-social acts today than they did 15 years ago?",
an overwhelming maj ority an sw,er ed in t he affirmative. This feeling sharply cont rasts with that of their elders says Archer. A large majority of the parents of t hese same ?.tudents feel that there is no significant d ifference. One must consider that although the parents of t hese students were 15 years ago closer in age to the social offe nders of that time, they we re st ill older than the teen-agers of that p e riod. This is significant in that if the parents of Palomar students were asked if they were as ant i-social as today's youths, the answer would probably be q u ite different.
T hr ee basic reasons for the increa se in violence was given by Archer's classes. The first and probably the most importa nt in the students opinion lay in t he r ap id deterior ation in the family structure . The second reason centers a round a changing attitude toward r eligion by both th e younger and older generat ions. The third , is a new outlook toward the society in wh ich the students live. Other questions posed to h is students by Archer cohcerned th e punishm ent of offender s. To the se questions Ar c he r offered a solut ion. (Conti nued next week)

Governing Board Defers Proposal For JC Body The governing board of Palomar College resolved to defer legislation to establish a State Board of College Trustees separate from the present jurisdiction by the State Board of Education until further study can be made. Board Chairman Dr. Richard Loomis of Fallbrook, said the study should be fostered at the state level, " probably by the California State School Board Association." The " premature bill," Dr. Loomis said, lacks specific clauses that would grant sufficient funds by the state legislation for the establishment of the proposed board. The bill, Dr. Loomis continued, would create a division under the State Board of Education headed by Tom Braden, for a state board for junior colleges. ACADEMIC HOUSING The proposed construction of "academic hou sing" at the west end of campus at Mission Rd. and Arctic St. was presented to the board by James Moore of the Ashmore Devel· opment Corp., of Riverside. The plan was referred by the board to San Marc.os Planning
Commission which Wednesday approved the construction of120 units. Because of stiff opposition from San Marcos residents living near the area of con· struction, the permit will probably be appealed to the City Council. TENTATIVE BUDGET The board received a ten· tative operation budget for 1965-66 totaling $1 ,853,504. Dr. Frederic Huber, college president, noted that the Palomar educational cost per student from 1957 through the projected 1966 budget has been held steady at about$600. CONSTRUCTION APPROVED Last week the board made a final 'inspection of the newly constructed campus buildings and gave formal acceptance of the completed $1,146,571 project. The construction added the Science Complex including planetarium and observatory, the Humanities building including classrooms for social sciences, languages, English, lecture hall and drama lab. The public will be given a first look at the new additions during the college open house the week of March 22-28.
Escondido City Manager Visits Government Class Discusses Law Enforcement, Duties Of City Manager
Discussing the various aspects of the job of city manager, Lloyd Mitchell, Escondido City Manager, addressed the State and Local government Class on February 24. Mitchell was part of a series of speakers that have been scheduled to lecture the class. Among the various aspects of city government discussed by Mitchell were the integration of the police and fire departments, the arguments for a city manager, and the problem of budget allottments. POLICY DECISIONS By stressing that most policy decisions come from the City Council, he emphasized the fact that managerial decisions originate from the office of city manager. These include the hiring and firing of city employees not protected by Civil
Service. These are the department heads such as the Police Chief and Fire Chief. Among the good points of the job of city manager, according to Mitchell, is the opportunity to learn to control people as well as facts , and the 'challenge to learn to work with the various factions during a controversy. TYPES OF CITIES Also discussed during the lecture were the charter cities and the general rule cities: A charter city is allowed more home rule than general law cities whose charters are set up by th~ legislature. Mitchell also mentioned the problems of civil defense. He feel s that the problem arises here because the people are only interested when there is a crisis and not during peace.

"Arch itecture," said Lloyd Ru occo, Humanities lecturer last F riday, "is the queen of the arts. All others fade beside it." Mr. Ruocco was the fifth lecturer·to speak at P alomar in this year's Humanities Lectu re series. His topic was a r chitecture. "I hate ugliness," began the noted San Diego architect. "Of all the animals, humans are the most wonderfully ab le to crea te ugliness. " NOTHING IS PERFECT Nothing is perfect, he continued, and any thing made by man is no sooner finished than it is ready to be improved. Sometimes the school of architecture at Berkeley, from which he graduated, would stay open until 12 or 3 in the morning, and students would still be working, trying to improve what they had designed. Architecture is the queen of the arts, and all the others are as nothing, because the other s are personal - are done without a sponsor - have complexity, bu t complexity of which you are master. The architect does not build fo r personal satisfaction. Architecture is the meeting point of all man's activity, because all of his activities go through a build ing. Mr. Ruocco deplored the fact that architecture is the one subject that is never taught in schools outside of profession al schools. Architecture is your self-portrait . how can you know and under' stand your sur roundings if you have never been taught to appreciate them? GRIDIRON PATIERN The fa u lt of American architecture and design is that we must allow for the gridi r on pattern of our cities. "If one wishes to see a beautiful city, a clean countryside or a highway without billboards, one must go to Europe ," he said. Europ e had already solved the problems of large populations in small cou ntries before the United States had come across them. "You must work like a nigger over here and take a vacation over there," he continued. "You can walk to work (continued on page 3)
