NewScienceComplex Science Festival Opens This Week; • Has Many Facets Dedication of Build 1ngs Is Sunday

!HE PALOMAR SCIENCE FESTIVAL begins this week with primary mterest focused on the globular screen in the planetarium.

Here visitors will view the workings of the universe.

THE OPERATION of the planetarium is much the same as a motion picture theater, except the images are projected on a -large half glope. Seated in the reclining chairs, the viewers are able to see the universe, much as it can be seen on a cloudless night.

THE STARS and planets are shown by a projector secured in the center of the dome which rotates, giving the illusion of the stars in motion overhead.

HUNDREDS OF·STARS and all the planets except Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are shown. These are not shown, because being too small to be seen by the naked eye, they would have to be blown up out of proportion to the other stars and planets.

A NEW "STAR GLOBE" was installed last week and will be in use for the Science Festival. This new globe will show the stars at their exact size and<"magnitude in relation to one another which could not be done with the old globe. This is to create a~ image which more closely resembles the natural universe as can be seen.

THE ALUMINUM DOME, which acts as a screen, and the projector cost approximately $30,000 and, with the sound equipment and assembly, the price of the planetarium is nearly$40,000.

New Labs Open For Work PALOMAR CHEMISTRY students Monday began work in the new laboratories, part of the just-opened science complex. Lectures had previously been held in the new lecture rooms, but the Ia bs were not completed for use until last Friday afternoon.

THE SECTION of the complex devoted to chemistry contains two lecture rooms, offices, and a complex of laboratories centered around a stockroom. In addition, it boasts an attic and a basement.

THE LARGEST LAB is CH-17, the General Chemistry laboratory..

It can accommodate 60 students at a time, with lockers for a total of 360. One side of the lab is devoted to fume hoods, which dispose of noxious gases, and a long balance room. The lab has hot and cold water, faucets for distilled water (connected to the 3,000-gallon tank on the roof of the planetarium) and the latest safety equipment, including at-the-desk water spray for acid spills.

THE ANALYTICAL Chemistry lab has "the best analytic equipment in the state," according to Kent Backart, chemistry instructor. It has an air-conditioned balance room which houses delicate weighing balances, sensitive to the slightest change in air temperature and pressure. The Organic laboratory has safety shields which will confine any accident or explosion to a small area.

THE STOCKROOM is situated in the center of the lab area. It will contain equipment and a small stock of chemicals; otl}ers will be sent via dumbwaiter from the concrete basement directly below. This basement was blasted out of solid rock, and outside the foot-thick concrete walls is thirty feet of granite. "It's a perfect bomb shelter," remarks Backart. The calorimeter acquired by Bedford will be placed here to take advantage of the constant seventy-degree temperature. The basement also contains a vacuum pump, which will enable students in the labs above to create vacuums for experiments.

AMONG THE MANY new features of the labs are facilities for bending and shaping glass, with a valve for pure oxygen (which makes a very hot flame) and a DC power source. The chemistry building also has offices with observation windows looking into the labs, a tiny library where students may study, and a small lab for individual experiments and research. The attic holds the many pipes and conduits for heat, air conditioning, and distilled water. The Life Science building is the only other with such an attic.

AS FOR THE OLD BUILDINGS, they will be emptied and locked up until this summer. During the summer months, workmen will repair the plumbing and replace the counter tops and flooring, and next year the labs in the old S building will be used for the overflow chemistry students from the new area.

Three New Telescopes PALOMAR COLLEGE is fortunate to have three telescopes on campus since many junior colleges do not even have one. Two ofthe telescopes the college purchased, and the third, which is 16 inches and the largest one, was donated by the widow of Clarence Friend, an Escondido amateur astronomer.

THE TWO TELESCOPES purchased by the college are housed in observatories above the geology building. The observatories which are necessary for astronomical study block out peripheral light and will allow the telescopes to fix on a particular star and follow that star throughout the night.

THE 16 INCH TELESCOPE does not have a permanent position as yet. Joe Willis, astronomy instructor said that they are not sure that the observatories will accommodate the new telescope, in the event that it does not fit, it might be placed between the two present observatories. Although the telescope will be lacking a cover it will not suffer any serious damage from being left out as it has been without a cover since 1941.

AT THE LEFT of the observatories are two equipment rooms for heating and refrigeration. This arrangement was chosen to conserve as much space as possible for indoor classrooms. At the right of the observatories is the planetarium dome connected to the planetarium building which houses a gigantic circular, dome-shaped screen resembling the "celestial sphere."

The screen which is perforated, permits pictures of the sky to be projected from the backside of the screen onto its front. This provides an earth-look at the sky, with a view of the stars from various positions.

First Greenhouse On Campus A GREENHOUSE for Palomar College is built and plans are now underway to facilitate for proper housing of various plants, according to Eugene Stevens, chairman of the Life Science Department.

THOUGH BUILT, the house will not be ready for plant growing until late this semester, and probably not in full swing until fall.

LOCATED AT THE SOUTH END of the L S Building, the greenhouse will provide locally grown plants as well as foreign varieties for demonstration in the biology and botany classes.

ALTHOUGH NO CLASSES will be conducted in the greenhouse because of limited size, students with special interest will be able to grow and conduct plant projects.

THE 24 x 16 FOOT BUILDING, constructed of brick four-feet up from the floor, is covered with diffusion glass which acts to filter the sun's rays evenly throughout the room. An evaporator-cooler will be installed before the semester end to hold the temperature below a safe growing level and to increase humidity.

EVEN WITH THE HEATING-COOLING MECHANISM, the room temperature will rise during the day and fall at night. "This ~ done," said Stevens, "so that the room will closely simulate the ideal growing variances of the outdoors. The purpose of the system is to eliminate eithe,r extreme heat and extreme cold."

FRED ELLIOTT, in charge of the biology and botany sections, will be working with Stevens to construct benches on which to house the pl11ntings. The benches, made of two-inch redwood, spaced one-inch apart, will enable good air circulation. By spacing the boards there will also be good plant drainage.

FRANK WHITE, drama instructor, explains a point about "Oedipus," during a symposium which was held after the play on opening night. The symposium, although it was scheduled for only opening night, did so well that it was continued for the entire run. Other members of the panel are from left: Angelo Carli, Enclish instructor, Tom Wilbur, who played Oedipus, Frank White, and Dwight Boehm, English instructor.

COMMENTS SOLICITED Comments from the audience were solicited by the panel, and ranged from questions about the costumes, which White designated as early "spectacular" (many of them were originally used in movie spectaculars such as "The Story of Ruth"), to the meaning of the "larger than life" Greek tragedy in modern terms.

The audience questioned members of the cast concern-

ing the problems inherent in performing these classic roles.

"One of the most difficult things for me to overcome" said Wilbur, "was my own personal inhibition." Modern man does not express h imself with the emotio nal abandonment of the ancient Greek".

AUDIENCE KNEW MYTH The original myth upon which Sophocles based his play was well known by audiences to which it was presented. White explained the

myth as in the written program. "The Greeks already knew what was going to happen to Oedipus. They wanted to see how Sophocles would handle the story dramatically.

What I can't understand is why the play only won a second place prize with its first presen tation, since it is one of the most significant p ieces of drama in the history of Western civilization." said White.

Audience attendance at the symposiums exceeded that which had been hoped for according to White. Instructors of the English 1B classes had assigned the viewing of the play since it is included in their text. "Reading the play is certainly not the same as seeing it acted out upon a stage," said one student.

"This production has brought Oedipus alive for me."

Future In Astronomy

Instructors AttendWorkshop we actually have in the universe. We started with the simplest possible universe, the same in every direction.

"Einstein's theory was just coming into fruition at this time. He wanted to apply it and he did but was surprised to find that there was no stable solution - so he put a constant in his equation," said Dr. Arp. A few years later, with the use of the 100 inch Mt. Wilson telescope, scientists saw that the extra-gallactic nebulae were actually moving away from us, proving Einstein right. When he found ·this, he said he never should have used the constant, but today, Dr. Arp went on, scientists still disagree as to the use of a constant.

GALAXIES SLOWING DOWN Having thus involved his audience ·in past and present predicaments, Dr. Arp evolved into a discussion of the mathematical equation serving as a working solution for the rate of expansion of the universe.

he concluded saying that, "If the universe is now exploding outward with a certain velocity, mass in the universe is going to have a braking effect, a slowing down of galaxies - thus, the amount of deceleration is a measure of the amount of mass in the universe."

(Basically, the theory of the expanding universe postulates that the universe was at one time very close together and, after an explosion, it moved apart. Under this theory, the universe is still expanding but at the same time, slowing down.)

STEADY STATE UNIVERSE Here, Dr. Arp, with a sigh of resignation, said he supposed he would have to discuss the steady state theory of the universe. He said , "It represents a completely different approach to cosmology. Einstein's is a deductive approach - deduced from certain facts.

Hoyle's is an inductive ap-

proach. He says, let's guess a model of the universe and see whether the universe fits this.

Thus, he came up with the steady state universe."

Accord ing to Dr. Arp, Hoyle had to consider three things in his unive rse: 1. As galaxies move away, the average density goes down.

So, Hoyle had to create matter out of nothing, which is nothing.

2. Another requirement of the steady state universe is that matter interjected into the universe will have to be galaxies. As the stars in galaxies burn out, new ones have to be formed. Quazars may represent galaxies in formation.

3. Radio telescopes look back into time when the galaxies were closer together, thus more dense; however, measurement of the density of very distant radio sources shows an excess of radio sources over that we would ex(Continued on Page 2)

Questions For The All-Knowing

By J. C. WESLEY

Today, a's in all days past, there is considerable talk, many opinions and even some thought about the younger generation going to hell. And today, as in all days past, most of the talk, many of the opinions and little of the thought seems to come from dogooders, more interested with welfare of others than with themselves.

A Touch Of Beauty

IMMORAL AND WICKED

By NANCY STINSON

Among all the red bricks that have gone up into buildings there is a touch of beauty appearing - the -flowers. · The trampled ground has been cov. ~ered by soft dark earth and filled . with delicately growing grass. Ivy and flowers are growing on the once barren and rutted banks. In a few years students will be able to sit in the shade of the young trees dotting the campus.

Much time ·has gone into turning our campus into a beautiful place to see and enjoy. While walking around · the college it is almost impossible . not to see a student or gardener pulling an occasional weed, or planting ,' flats of young seedlings. ~' The gardeners pay much attention to their plants and neve:r: seem to miss anything that happens in their

wonderful floral world. As soon as the slightest thing goes wrong, big or small, the gardeners make it right again.

It is a tremendous effort that these people have put into keeping our campus enjoyable in the midst of all the new construction going on for the last year. Although the flower beds are small. they are scattered throughout the campus in a very effective manner. If all the trees we have on the college grounds were combined in one spot there would be quite a forest and the rest of the college would be quite like a desert.

It all proves that we should ·be thankful to have an efficient group of people in charge of the gardening that otherwise would be a jungle of weeds and brush.

Thanks for a touch of beauty.

By KARL JOHNSON

Is education a prerequisite for intelligence or is intelligence a prerequisite for education? The answer to this question is basic to the understanding of the meaning of education.

The meaning of educ~tion is something that many teachers and most parents do not understand. To the teacher, educating is a profession, · the daily job that provides the pay · check on which his family lives. To ' the parent, education is both a symbol of their child's "intelligence?" ·_and a possible higher salary after graduation.

The truth of the relationship between education and intelligence is merely the training of the student to use his brain in the most efficient manner possible. This efficiency does not come from the memorization of anything; memorized knowledge is so short lived that it becomes worthless in little time. True education can be considered more as the knowledge of where to find information than actually having information on hand. Also, into whichever line of business the student goes, the' most frequently used information will become memorized by usage which always results in better retention.

Now, whatpartdoes "formal educa-

tion" play in "life?" The job of formal education is to train the student in the basic skills necessary for life.

This training can be as little as graduation from high school to as much as a PhD in a highly specialized field.

But this is not to say that the man with a PhD in a given field will necessarily know more than the man with merely a high school diploma, as long as both men know where to find the information whether it be in books or from another man.

The truly unfortunate part of this is that modern businessmen think only of degrees and not of the innate ability of a man. Business today has a "hammer lock" on the arm of every young person for always they must think, "If I don't graduate I can't get a job." All this because business would rather believe a piece of paper than actually finding out the capabilities of the student.

On top of this we have the attitude of teachers about memorization which, if followed ridgidly, can destroy many young people's hopes of success. Also, by this same method, schools are short-changing business because they are giving higher ratings to the student who can memorize, but who might have the creative ability of a "contented cow."

Through The 1 Scope Lightly

Of Thought And The Wind

By JOAN COOK

Thinking, alone, does nothing for a person. One must combine one's thoughts with action. Action upon the thought, the test that will tell you whether or not your thought is justifiable or worthwhile. Whether your thought has a firm basis beneath it.

Whether it is provable.

The purpose of the test must be to find the correct referent for the thought, or else the thought amounts · to little more than nothing, and must be lost in the winds. Perhaps the wind can find a useful referent for this thought.

But, you can't You must not be contented with this thought You must find another one that is provable by application.

The thoughts that are provable must be kept. They can· be built upon with further provable thoughts, gathering more meaning and usefulness as they grow. But, never forget

to go back and find your referents.

Check them again and again so that this growing thought will continue to remain provable and meaningful.

Check your referents with operational tests. Action upon the thought.

By acting upon your thoughts, you are putting them to use, both for yourself and the world. So, you are a useful person, and a part of this world.

Being a part of this world can be compared to being a part of an intricate piece of machinery.

By realizing useful concepts, you are useful to the world and to yourself. You fit into the machinery. The correct statement is the product of a useful machine. It has verifyable meaning.

It is an operationally provable statement manifested in the word, the thought, or love. It is not a statement useful only to the wind.

At least that is the way it looks.

I really don't know. Maybe this is funny, maybe not.

Or, as the story goes, "They all played the piano when I (Continued from Page 1) sat down to laugh."

Sweetness And Light Last week I was approached by several people who said, "I didn't think your column was a bit funny. I like our rtew Science Complex, and furthermore, I like brick." This leads me to ask, what is humor?

POINT OF VIEW

The incomprehensible thing about life is that it goes on, that even after the joke has been told several times, there are still those who want to hear it again. Girls still walk around campus in skirts and blouses, wild hairdos and tennies. And the boys still run after them on feet of clay covered with keds and topped off by polished cotton and madras cloth. This is pretty interesting, and from a non-academic point of view, funny because there are too many other things, like bombs and wars and death and pain and, as they say, Life.

MATTER OF TASTE

Humor has been called a serious business, and if this is taken out to its conclusion it probably means that seriousness is a humorous business

(except maybe when you die laughing).

There once was a famous comic who believed that just because a man is convicted of blowing up an airliner with the passengers and his mother on board, people are losing their sense of humor. So humor is a matter of taste.

Here's a story. A young man was sitting in a classroom looking out the window. The instructor was conjugating verbs and talking about reflexives. It was raining and someone was running to get to shelter when he fell on the hard pavement.

The instructor, at that moment said," ... to be used only when the subject does the action to himself, as in . .. " Another story about a young man who took his girl on a picnic and she got poison oak on her stomach. She never was able to explain it.

NOTHING CERTAIN

Very funny and very interesting. But what kind of laugh does it produce? When Hollywood makes it into a movie will it be a comedy, a tragedy, a musical?

(The basic theory behind the steady state universe is that the universe is in a state of equilibrium; the galaxies moving apart all the time and new ones . forming, drawing their substance from newly created matter. Because the two processes occur simultaneously, we speak neither of the creation or death of the universe.)

wallet with that much money in it is a temptation to say the least - but I am hoping that if the person that has it knows the circumstances behind that money he may have the decency to return it.

INTERPLANETARY FLIGHT

After a question period and short break, Freeman D'Vincent showed a movie made by General Dynamics Aeronautics two and a half years ago through NASA which started a study of interplanetary flight. The movie was a pictorial preview of the vehicles and launch facilities that will send man and probes on interplanetary fly-by and capture missions. It was pointed out that a capture mission, in which there is an actual landing or orbit around the planet rather than an elipse past one curve of it, is much more profitable. It requires a few more day's time but the increase in knowledge and specimen gained is well worth it.

• Such an eight-man trip to Mars would take about 420 days and at least two space vehicles weighing close to two million pounds each. General Dynamics seemed preoccupied with safety in that they proposed the sending of almost two of everything on any space venture. However, D'Vincent said that the development of a recovery booster could change the cost of a mission from $2,000 a pound to $50 a pound.

Also discussed were manned space stations, aquatic launch pads, mating parts of yehicles and re-entry equipment, possible dates for manned and unmanned space flights, nuclear powered engines and the various methods of guaranteeing the liquid state of liquid hydrogen fuel as the ship nears the sun in a perihelion re-entry process.

Thus, Dr. Arp thinks that ours is an expanding universe.

Of major importance to this belief is the "Christmas present to cosmolozy;" an object that is much brighter than a galaxy and very much bluer, and some method of identifying this object. The Quazars fit every characteristic of his wish. They show very high red shifts but seem to be very unstable which indicates they are galaxies in formation and will settle down to the normal velocity but they can tell us what is going on in the universe, if we can determine at what point in their evolution they are and correct for it on our graphs representing the inconsistencies in gallactic velocities.

"This means that at one time the universe was packed very close together - - what we want to know is how long ago everything was at a center before the explosion and thus we get about 10 billion years fo r the age of the universe. We can check this by knowing how old the stars are - - we can compute from the amount of mass in a star and the rate at which it is burning to find a stellar evolution age and it is 10 billion years, the age of the oldest SYMPOSIUM ON TEACHING After lunch there was a stars agrees with the age of the universe," triumphantly con- symposium headed by Dr. Clifford E. Smith, Chairman cluded Dr. Arp.

of the Department of Astl·onomy at San Diego State College. To what extent should the contributing sciences of chemistry, physics, geology and meteorology be included in the general course of astronomy was the discussion topic of the symposium.

Dr. Smith said that astronomy is a meeting ground of the sciences. He showed how the teaching of astronomy involves all branches of science. "Students should have an appreciation of the methods of science, an appreciation of nature and some knowledge of the space in the immediate area," said Dr. Smith. "We should try to have our students appreciate the methods of science and the validity of figures."

INSTRUCTOR COMMUNICATION

After some discussion, the group of 60 science instructors from 36 Southern California junior colleges agreed that an instructor should communicate his enthusiasm to his students and give them the benefit of his knowledge in a special area of astronomy; not in an effort to stray from the books but to give the most of his intelligence to his students.

RESPECT FOR STUDENTS

Throughout the discussion the participants showed a continuing respect for the student and kept his best interests at mind.

Following the workshop, the group went to Mt. Palomar for a special tour of the facilities there.

The Astronomy Workshop was planned and carried out through the effort of Charles A. Coutts, Chairman of the Division of Science and Technology at Palomar College.

"THE PLANTS NEED PLENTY of water, but also must drain fast so

that they do not sit in the wet soil for too long a time," said, Stevens.

ANOTHER BENCH for the potting of plants as well as a sink will be installed. An aquarium will be included for the growing of algea.

STEVENS SAID THAT he expects many of the plant varieties to come from donations. And continued to say that all donations would be picked up by either Elliott or himself at the donor's request. (

Life Science Experiments With Chicks DEMONSTRATING GRAPHICALLY one of the most spectacular prod-

ucts of modern biological science, Harold E . Cheyney, science instructor, has been conducting an experiment on newly hatched male chickens. Periodically injecting the young roo~t­ ers with a hormone named testosterone, he has produced an "earlier or accelerated maturation. " The lf'ormone is not foreign to the body chemistry of the fowls, says Cheyney. He continued "to a greater or lesser extent the hormone is present in the body of practically all members of the animal kingdom.

BY ADDING MORE of the serum in the bloodstream of the chickens Cheyney says they will be sexually mature and able to reproduce 10 to 12 days after birth. The process of maturation is accelerated four and one half months. The experiments are made using only male animals. It is not practical for purposes of demonstration to use the same process on female chickens, Cheyney explained.

CHEYNEY REVEALED that this hormone has been used on all members of the animal world and has produced nearly identical results. As far as his chickens are concerned he has divided the roosters into two groups - those who are injected and those who are not. The subjects are placed in the same area and are allowed to intermingle. "The chickens who have been injected display an aggressiveness out of tune with their size," he said.

THE EFFECTS OF THE HORMONE are not all physical. According to Cheyney, for all purposes, the injected roosters believe that they are adult and react accordingly.

STUDENTS WISHING to observe the experiment are invited .to do so, said the Zoology mentor. The chickens are located in thr' west wing of the science complex and can be studied through a glass display case that provides a view to the outside of the building. The chickens undergoing the testosterone process can be identified easily by a green band on their legs.

THIS IS THE FIRST such experiment conducted at Palomar, but the experiment has been carried out in laboratories throughout the world. Recently the hormone ha s been artifically produced, so that the serum is easily obtained. Cheyney said that the next experiments will be conducted on reptiles.

Science Fountain A UNIQUE GERMINATING seed pod atop a majestic fountain sym-

bolizing youth and its boundless potential is fas t becoming a new focal point on campus. It is only fitting that it occupy a place of I?rominence in the science complex dedicated to shaping and molding that potential.

THE GLOSSY 200-pound piece of Mexican Onyx glisten ing under" the gentle spray of the double arch fountain adds an air of enchantment and beauty to the new science area. The work is especially unusual in that it is a reversal of the normal sculptural scale," says John Barlow, head of the art department, who designed and carved the ·Work. "A person usually associates sculpture work," he explained, "with a reduction of form whereas the seed pod is an enlargement of a much smaller form."

Last week the Palomar thespians drew praise and admiration for their presentation of the classic Greek play "Oedipus the King" by Sophocles.

The play was written for the Greek of an ancient time, yet with only minor modification and excellent acting, the 2500 year old play brought tears to the eyes of contemporary audiences.

students T0 AttendArea 0 ne confab

Approximately ten student& will attend the Area One Conference at Southwestern College this Friday as representatives of Palomar.

They will participate in workshops on campus communication, collegiate attitudes, collegiate organizations, function of student government, and the president's workshop.

PUBLICATIONS TO BE DISCUSSED

Jim McKenzie, Area One Representative for Palomar College, will lead the Communications Workshop. Among topics he plans to discuss are the objectives, obstacles, editorial policies, resources, and

improvement of the campus media of communication. The school paper and magazine will be included in the discussion.

Preliminary to tbe main conference on Friday, six students from Palomar will meet with representatives from the other schools to discuss plans for the State Conference to be hosted by Area One in the spring of 1966. These students will act as a steering committee to set up the ground rules for the conference. Representing Palomar are Carolyn Clark, Jim McKenzie, Diane Clark, Don Hon, and Mary Lou Mason.

This Friday's Conference is being held preliminary to the State Conference in May. The purpose of it will be to alLow the schools time to prepare for the State event and to give them an opportunity to discuss their school's stands on the various issues to be brought up in May. Among the students who will represent Palomar are Jim McKenzie, Don Hon, Carolyn Clark, Mary Lou Mason, Carol Olson, and Diane Clark.

Other schools from Area One are Oceanside-Carlsbad, Grossmont, Southwestern, San Diego Mesa, San Diego City, and San Diego Evening.

BY GARY SHOEMAKE

Sophocles' Oedipus the King, undoubtedly one of the greatundoubtedly O!le of the greatest plays of all time, is undoubtedly the best drama ever staged at Palomar College. The Drama Lab's production, which ran Tuesday through Saturday last week, was an emotional and intellectual experience few educational theatre productions would come close to.

Director Frank White's seventy minute adaptation of the 2500 year old Greek Tragedy was well edited. The lines retained their stateliness yet were clear in meaning.

Tom Wilbur's performance as Oedipus, after a slow start, mounted until it could only have been surpassed by an experienced actor of professional stature. Wilbur fit Oedipus well both physically and vocally. The role of Oedipus perhaps ranks with Othello as the most difficult to create on stage.

James Ryan, as Creon, the Queens brother, Paul Marvel, as the blind prophet Teiresias, and Ben McCracken, as a palace servant, all turned in superb performances. Ryan's Creon was impressive from his opening line. He projected his voice exceptionally well capturing the qualities of a prince holdlng a sinecure. He truly seemed to be his character.

Marvel's Teiresias was perhaps the best performed character of the play. The blind, tottering old man with a long white beard and quivering voice came alive to the point of overpowering the outbursts

The main purpose of Ixthus, reports the Council, is to reveal and to propagate the ideals of Christianity from a Lutheran point of view, to the campus and its surrounding communities.

Mikkelsen Will· Work for PHD

BY MARY PUTNAM

"I enjoy Mr. Mikkelsen as a teacher because he tells you what he expects of you," commented a Palomar student.

"He tells you what is required of the course and then carries out what he says." This statement is one of many given me regarding RobertS. Mikkelsen.

Mikkelsen, head of the English Department, is leaving at the end of this semester to teach at Weber College in Ogden, Utah.

RETURNING TO WEBER

"I have always wanted to teach at the four year level," said Mikkelsen, "But I felt it was impossible to do so without a P.H.D. He will be return. ing to Weber because it offered him an associate professorship. They will not pressure him to complete his doctorate in a given period. For those unfamiliar with the ranking in an academic institution the first rank is instructor, then assistant professor, associate professor and finally full professor. The hardest move he informed me is usually from assistant professor to associate professor.

Teaching three or four classes at Weber College and taking courses at the University of Utah towards his doctorate should prove to be quite a busy schedule.

ROBERTS. MIKKELSEN WORKING ON NOVEL

Mikkelsen said he wanted to write for the best · paying market he could. Sports mag-azine pay $400 or more. His style is what the editor wants.

"If you want to sell to a popular magazine," he said, "You write what they want. " His future plans in writing will be to write seriously about the West, the transition from what remains of the old West to tbe new West. Currently he is working on a modern western novel set in Southern Wyoming.

CHANGE OF SCENE

Mikkelsen began teaching here in 1960. He chose Palomar because he felt "he needed a change to a different environment." Since his appointment as English Department Head in 1962 he has had many obligations to fulfill, such as evaluation 'o f staff, class scheduling, ordering all text book suppliEls, distribution of equipment, and membership on the curricu· lum committee.

Men .Urged To Dance

BY CRISTA GILLETTE

"Modern dance is a course not just for women. It is excellent physical conditioning and development of the body. The movements can be the very basic movements for golf, tennis and the lay-up in basketball," began Mildred Ayers in a discussion of the modern dance program at Palomar.

The class offered for the first time last semester, already has grown sufficiently to warrant the addition of a new dance room in the women's physical education building.

The next building to be finished on campus will be the new women's P.E. headquarters. The large, two-story structure will contain offices, showers, a locker room and a modern dance room. The dance· room will be 45x60 and large enough to comfortable allow Miss Ayers to instruct 40 students in the art of movement.

Miss Ayers, said that with the opening of new quarters, "We will then be able to offer beginning, intermediate and advanced classes in modern dance as well as master dance workouts." Following the expansion of the dance program, Miss Ayers said she would like to have a spring recital to give the students a chance to perform.

"QUIET VILLAGE" LEARNED

The beginning dance class starts with a routine named "Quiet Village," which consists chiefly of stretching ex·ercises in rhythm to the music.

Often students return to their second class session quite sore in muscles they never knew they had.

Having learned the right way to move for "Quiet Village," the class goes back to grade school days and learns how to walk, skip and glide. Some students find this the hardest thing to do.

FALLS NOT DIFFICULT

According to Miss Ayers, modern dance is an excellent class for drama students. It aids in projection and the use of the body as a means of expression. It is entirely based on rhythm and is by no means a "sissy" course.

Miss Ayers was emphatic in

STAN HALL Marathon Basketball -Or . l 001 Ways to Glory

Mesa Takes Palomar Invitational Mesons Fashion Ten Firsts; Grossmont 2nd '

Ten Palomar College students will pit their strength and stamina against the basketball gods in the near future when they attempt to break the national marathon basketball record by playing 30 non-stop hours of basketball in the dome.

This idea was hit upon by Tom Dempsey and Steve Kehoe, both PJC athletes, when they heard of a group of 10 Davis High School students playing for 24 hours, 15 minutes and 30 seconds on February 7, 1965. Since then, the record has been upped to 26 hours by another group. Although the game is still in the infant stages, the locals hope to perform the contest against time on the Saturday and Sunday just before Easter vacation.

Five Meet Records And Two PC Standards Fall STERliNG INDIVIDUAl efforts were the word of the day at the recent Palomar Invitational track fest, and pictured are three of the most thrilling individual efforts of the day. At the upper left is Palomar's rags-to-riches thinclad in the process of clearing 6-4% in the big jump to set a new school record. At the lower left is Mesa's sensational Bob Hose, holder of the national high school 880 standard, cr.o ssing the finish line way ahead of the pack. He set a new meet record of 1:52.6 in the 880. Above is Comet Fred Pratt pole vaulting 13-6 to crack the old PJC record by six inches.

NEED REFS

In organizing the game, Kehoe and Dempsey' have asked that anyone wanting to participate as a referee (they need a pair of refs for every three hours) contact them at school or home. This gives inembers of the college student body or faculty an opportunity to help Palomar receive some kind of far-reaching athletic recognition for the first time in long period. They also will need the attendance of at least one faculty member at all times in order for this event to be schoolsanctioned. · · KGB radio of San Diego has asked to cover this contest which could replace some of the timehonored college traditions such as gold-fish swallowing, telephone-booth cramming, and staying awake for long periods such as was the case in the sleepless period set by a San Diego college student who set a record for sleeplessness.

BATTLE AGAINST FATIGUE

The basketball players will probably be fighting their own battle against the sandman. Thirty hours is a long time to go without sleep, especially when you're running, walking, stumbling, and finally crawling down a hardwood court. Of course, the participants in this contest may not end up crawling, but it would probably b~ a safe bet they they will feel like it if they make it after 30 hours. They will probably be driving for lay-ups in their sleep for weeks afterwards. The group of stalwarts include seven players from Encinitas, and one from Vista, Escondido and Fallbrook.

They are Dempsey, who plays football and track, Kehoe, track, Bill Sullivan, track, Mike Cory, football and basketball, Fritz Muhlthaler, football, Ken Sadler, football and basketball, Art Rathje, football, Chris Stanley, the only firststring Palomar eager in the group, Rick Wolfe, football, and Dave Laughter, football and track.

Horsehiders To Meet Two Conference Foes ·

MODESTO SCORE: 1718-1479

The score, by the way, at Modesto was 1718-1479.

That was probably the first time since the game was played with cantaloupes thrown into peach baskets that a team won by 239 points. Maybe the PJC athletes will break a scoring record also and become the first quintet to break into the twentieth century in scoring. And the high scorer would probably have a swelled head to match his feet.

He could conceivably tally in the neighborhood of 400 points, making life miserable for the official scorekeeper although giving the player something to tell his grandsons about in the future.

Here are some predictions for the game: Cory, Sadler and Stanley, all basketball players, will end up on the same team, and in the first seven hours will open up a 300-point lead.

BLOODY VIOLENCE

Dempsey will huddle with team mates Muhlthaler, Wolfe, and Laughter (all tackles on the football squad), and devise a solution for this problem - trap blocking. Dempsey will have the pelota and his blockers will allow Cory to sift through the lines. Then Muhlthaler will hit him with a knee-level body block which will cause Cory to be carried out of the game on a stretcher.

The football players will reason that since it worked once it would work again, so they will try the same play. However, this time they allowed Sadler through the line, and he is also a football player. He will anticipate the trap blocking a nd counter with a hard right cross to Laughter's nose which will incite one of the bloodiest riots in modern college athletic history. The stands will empty, and 17 squad cars will be dispatched to the dome where they will meet with more violence than at Selma. As a consequence, Palomar College will be barred from coUege athletics forever in a situation which will surmount the famous Black Sox baseball scandal of 1919.

PLAY SAN DIEGO FRIDAY Palomar will host highly regarded San Diego City College Saturday on the local dia· mond in the week's other PSC contest. The PC horsehiders were slated to face the Knights in the opening round but rain forced postponement of the encounter.

Coach Cecil McGeehee will probably call on either John Ensor, Jerry Montiel, or Dave LeMasters to hurl against Southwe s tern. LeMaster s fired a brilliant three-hit shutout against the South Bay ::,..:hool in the first meeting between the two clubs.

ENSOR, MONTIEL HELP OUT Ensor and Montiel give Me· Geehee two other good front line pitches. Ensor did not pitch last year but the former Poway star has come around nicely on the mound during the 1965 campaign. Montiel, an ex-high school all star, has been credited with two of Palomar's victories this season.

Hitting wi se, Montiel, Mike Wexler and Bill J aroncyk have been the stars for PC in rece nt

OTHER STANDOUTS Defensively, Rod Nicol and Jaroncyk have been outstanding for Palomar. Nicol , a third baseman has made some astounding stops while Jaroncyk has been equally ama z. ing in the outfield for McGeehee.

FOUR HITS Grossmont's AI Layton allowed Palomar only four hits while striking out ten. No Palo· mar runner got past second base oth er than in the fifth inning when the team scored twice. With two out, John Ensor and Ken Martinez walked. Jaroncyk singled in Ensor, and Martinez scored on an error by the catcher.

The Comets had base runners in the second, third, fourth, seventh, and ninth innings, but failed to score.

Other Comets to hit safely were LeMasters, Williams, and Rod Nicol.

ENSOR PITCHES John Ensor drew mound duty for Saturday's game with San Diego Mesa. Ensor went all the way, but his teammates continued their massive batting slump, as the Olympians pounded out a 41 victory.

The lefthander allowed eight hits and struck out five as Palomar's conference slate slipped to 1-3.

Palomar scored a lone run in the first inning as leadoff batter Jaroncyk walked . Ni~ol singled, sending Jaroncyk to third. Mike Wexler's sacrifice fly brought him in. Mike Chase had two safti es, and Williams, Lackey, Nicol, and Ensor had one apiece.

San Diego Mesa carried away top honors in the tenschool field. The Clairemont athletes picked up seven firsts and 85 points to emerge as meet champions. Grossmont picked up four blue ribbons and 70 points to wind up second, and San Diego City was third_ Following in order were San Diego Track and Field Association, San Diego State Frosh, Palomar, Southwestern, Imperial Valley, College of the Desert, and OceansideCarlsbad.

Tennis Team Beats NTC

By One Pt. Sparked by the heads up play of number one man, Ralph Vaughan, the Palomar College tennis team edged the San Diego Naval Training Cen· ter 5·4 in a match held on March 16.

VAUGHAN, BUMAN WIN Vaughan, who starred for PC last year, whipped his opponent 6-2, 6-2 in singles competition. The lanky Comet net star then teamed with Charles Buman to defea t the opposition in a doubles match, 6-4,6-0.

Buman picked up valuable points by nipping his NTC counterpart 3·6, 6·3, 6·2 in singles prior to the doubles victory. Buman and Vaughan accounted for three of Palomar's five victories.

JONES, HARRIS VICTORIOUS The team of Jones and Harris gained a victory in doubles 6-8, 6-4, 6-2 and Jones won a singles duel 8·6, 3-6, 6-2 to garner Palomar's other points.

The Comet netters tackled Southwestern last Friday in a Pacific Southwest Conference encounter.

KENDALL TAKES FIRST Freshman Dave Kendall captured Palomar's only first place with a 6-4¥.! effort in the high jump. The leap eclipsed the old standard of 6-21h set by Pat Rogers in 1955. Kendall, employing the popular Russian style, barely missed an attempt at 6·6.

Fred Pratt turned in another school record when he cleared 13-6 in the pole vault. The he ight, the best ever for the Ramona athlete, was only good for a second place, but bettered by 51h inches the mark held by Stan Embrey and Mark O'Stanisisch. Pratt cleared 14' on one attempt, but bumped the crossbar on the way down.

THREE INJURIES On a more painful note, three Comet stars suffered injuries in the meet. Sprinters Dan Starr and Rich Latham pulled u p lame to rob Palomar of possible place points in the 100 and 220, while long jump specialist Rick Kurtz re· injured the leg which has kept him from competition for most of the young season.

Jim Kennedy of San Diego City picked up three victories; the 120 high hurdles, long jump, and triple jump. The versatile a thlete set meet records in the latter two, going 23-11h in the long jump, and 46·2~ in the triple jump.

HOSE SETS RECORD Mesa's Bob Miller was a d ouble winner, taking the 220 in 22 seconds flat, and the 440 in 49.7. Former state high school champion Bob Hose, also of Mesa, set a new standard in the 880 with a 1:52.6 clocking.

Grossmont's Dave Weitzel set a new record ih the 330 intermediate hurdles, and the Griffins 440 yard relay team p icked up the other mark with a fine 42.9 showing. Grossmont also had individual winners in Gary Guglielmetti in the 100,

Other first rate Comets slated to see action include Tony Requilman, Jerry Lac· key, Dennis Williams, Charlie Balough, Ken Martinez, Mike Chase and Mike Blair.

games. Montiel , who plays left field, when he is not pitching, swings a very effective bat.

The big righthander has collected two triples in as many PSC games while Jaroncyk, the leadoff hitter, collected a pair of singles against Southwestern to boost his average.

Wexler has given the local nine plenty of power batting fourth in the Comet order.

A big week of baseball which started out sweetly for the eager Palomar crew, ended with games on Friday and Saturday that were bitter pills to swallow.

In last Tuesday's contest the locals pitted Dave LeMasters against the Southwest· ern Apaches, and the crafty left-hander apparently got the ball rolling for Palomar. In his first outing since recovering from a pulled back muscle, he went the distance in pick· ing up the 2-0 victory. The win, LeMasters' second shutout against one defeat, gave Palo· mar a 1-1loop record.

COMETS SCORE The Comets scored two runs on six hits, with Bill Jaronyck and Anthony Requilman picking up two apiece. Dennis Wil· Iiams and Jerry Montiel collected the other safeties, the latter's hit being a triple to set up a run.

Friday's action turned the tide on Palomar as starter Montiel was tagged for seven runs in the first two innings.

LeMasters relieved the rest of the game, allowing three runs in the seven inning stint.

The Comets committed five errors to contribute to their 10-2 drubbing. Only three runs off Montiel were earned.

Things are bound to happen when 500 athletes get together, and happen they did last Saturday as San Diego County's top track and field talents entered competition in Palomar's fifth annual ColYege Invitational track meet. Five meet records as well as two individual Palomar standards fell during the day long affair.
