Lawrence
What to do with the minorities Dr. Paul T . Lawrence, California Associate Superintendent of Public Instruction changed the subject of his lecture Friday from educating the Negro to the problems of integration, acceptance of the Negro , presenting, as previous Humanities Lecturers had, a perspective of the Negro in our society. Dr. Lawrence, ip his second visit to Palomar, ~aid. that he "wondered more and rriore why there are so few Negroes here ... I wondered about you, how much you know about the Negro.'' So, he decided to try to give the students here a better understanding of the Negroes' problems in education. Other communities look ascanoe at us and cannot hear what we say about our problems. The nation's number one problem, Dr. Lawrence suggested, ls, what are going to do with the minorities in our midst? "1 do not feel that segregation and desegregation is really the major problem" he said. If by some miracle every scrool became desegregated overnight, ~e proposed that t~e problem would be the need equal opportunities in the schools.
pursuit of activities both extracurricular and accademic at Palomar. Hicks is familiar to the Telescope reader even if they are not personally active in student government, through his weekly column "Close Up Report". Bob came to Palomar first as a part-time student, and as tt full time sailor in the U.S, Navy in the summer of 1963. Bub came to Palomar to earn his high school diploma. Afteraqui.ring enough credits to _finish high school, he became a pre-engineering major and became increasingly active in student government. In the semester of fall '64 he changed to his present pre-law major, because he says I wanted a broader range of studies . For the same reason he has been very active in forensics and student government and student government and in , the Young Republicans since he enrolled full time .
Musicians place high in band contest Monk's Mad Musicians. the Palomar dance band, entered the Southern California Dane~ Band Contest and Festival at Southwestern last Friday. For the first time in the history of Palomar music the dance band competed with other colleges and were rated by music experts on their musical abilities . The festival was held at Southwestern for the 3rd straight year. Each year there have been bands from as far away as Los Angeles participating in this musical event, and this year was no exception. El Camino and Santa Monica from the L.A. area walked off with first and second place honors respectively. "Although Palomar didn't win," said Burrill Monk, band instructor, "I believe we played very well. Just wait till next year," r e continued. The bands were rated according to their . interpretation of the music they played, their intonation, technical abilities, the type of music tl-.ey chose to play and the overall effect of what they created. Three judges rated each band according to these evaluation points and gave the bands either a Superior, Good, Fair or Poor rating, 1, 2, 3 or 4.

"The Cherry Orchard" opens tomorrow night at 7:30
"The Cherry Orchard" opens night in the drama lab for a five night run. Anton Checkhov's observation of a changing society views major socio-economic changes taking place at the turn of the century. These changes result in the fall, decay, and collapse of the Russian aristocracy. Madame Ranevskaya in "Th~ Cherry Orchard" represents the aristocracy. Although "The Cherry Orchard" has been described c:1S a tragedy, Chekhov commented he wrote the play as a comedy. But even though the play is a comedy, it is thoughtful laughter in a theme of frustration. Chekhov was aware of the frustrations of an "unlived" life 9.nd tomts~rrow
of an "outlived" life. " Unlived' ' represents man living without accomplishing anything. The "outlived" life is one which man has accomplished everything, but still must go on living. Critics cl aim the people in Chekhov's play are aware of their failings and attempt to reach out for the meaning of the ir sufferings. But the characters dream of a better future and with that d ream comes hope. A prime c haracteristic of Chekhov's style ico short story t echniques. The dialogue with stifled exclamations, pauses, broken sentences, apparent random thoughts follows a pattern of natural conversation . This suggests life through di-
gression and understatement of language. Chekhov did not like larger than life scenes or heroes. He simplified plot and by doing so "detheatricalized" the theatre by being more realistic. In other words, he toned down the artificiality and highly theatricalized conventions of the theatre. Palomar's cast of "The Cherry Orchard", rehearsing forthe past six weeks. presents their version of the Russian comedy in the drama lab at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. The set, designed by Ben L. McCracken. was built by the cast and depicts Russian architecture of the late 1800's. Costuming is done by Western Costume of Hollywood.
There will be a symposium following the opening night performance only with a panel discussion by English lB teachers who make up a team-teaching ensemble. The instructors are Peter Bollington, Angelo Carli, Jack Quintero, and Leo Ward. The cast includes Madame Ranevskaya, Sally Fleming; Anya, Janet McClure; Varya, Darlene Hendrickson; Gayev, James Ryan; Lopahin, Doug Smith; Trofimov, Dudley Leath ; Pishchik, Jay Carter; Charlotta, Christy Howell: Yepihodov , Allen Watson; Qunyasha, Kathy Schweikert: Firs, Robert Kendrick; Yasha, Neal Westmacott; Stationmaster, Bill Le~rke; Post Office Clerk, Mike Corley.

A new orga:1iza'ion. The Unilt:f: Collegiate Republicans of Palomar College, has been organized to replace the Palomar Chat)~er o ~ the Young Republicans which recently withd rew from its sta:e parent organization. The or Janization ha.s drawn up its constitution a.1d been accapted by Joseph Mlik, Dean of Student Activities, and the judicial committee. After its accepta~1ce by the aoard of Governo::-s, the United Collegia·; e Repu!Jlicans will be a.1 official orga.1ization on campus. O~jectives of the UCRP's include: (1). to ed•1cate students on the college ca;npus about Republican Party philosophy, (2) to bring college student s into the r epuhlican Party and (3) to train and furnish college students to
o~ Republican Party ca~1d · da·: es. How:-:r ver, the United Collegla·:e Re}Jil:Jli.ca;ls of Paloma;: are not alone in their withdrawal from th8 state or5ani zatio,1 . After the recent election of Mike D)ordjevicil. Grvssmont. Mesa, Sa:1 Diego Sta ~e, and Sa.1 Diego .City Colieges also exp:res sed their d' sapprJval of the new stale p:·esident. by withd.ca.ving their mernbership a.1d fo~rning United Collegia·: e Repu')lican o.rga.1izaLi·J ns ;)f their re:>pective schools in ordHr to foster their Repuhlican goals. Due to the controversy over the new president of the state organization. the National Yow1g Republicans have suspended the California,..state charter. An investiga:ion will take place in
w ork for the election
April, according to Tom J en:Ci ns. fo:mer Young Repuhlica.1s Pr··~ s ide:h1t, "To find •JU1: if all of the statemen•.s made~ agalnst Mike~ Djordjevich are true and i f they are the natio:~al o:cganizatio.1 does not wa!lt to recog•tize him a.:; the pres id.ent of the state." "The national orga.1ization will either dema.1d a new election or if Califo rr1ia re fuses to de> this t~ey will suspend the charle r pe rma.1ent.ly," surmise d J enkins. Either way Jenkins does not think that the United Collegiate Repuhlicai1s will become Young Repuh1ica.1s agaln. The couty constitut ion o ~ the U.C.R's. is now being written and Anita Manning, Correspon-
detK!e Secretary fo·: the Palomar 's U.C.R.'s . is on the committee. State elections for the U.C. R. 's will be held a.:; soon as everyone is contacted. "We were hopinz tha·~ in this sort o~ dl vol·Jemen'; from the Y.R. 's it would present an image that our club is a Repuhlicau Club not a conserva' i.ve or a.1y other type of club a:1d that we wa~1t all Rel)ublica.1s to jol.n. We have no llmila ~ions," concluded Jenkins . Friday new rnem i)ers for the united Collegiate Repu'Jlica.1s of Palomar will be accep+;ed . On April 1 nominations for officers will be held and on Ap·ru 15 e lection of officers will tue p lace.
