Calling for a "new humanism with great capacity for change and a truely tolerant and encouraging environment for individualism," .Dr. Warren B. Martin inaugurated the 1966 Humanities Lecture Series Friday. Dr. Martin, research educator at the University of California at Berkeley, author, lecturer and holder of the Doctorate Philosophy from the University of Boston, su:-:-veyed the state of American values and named the ''radical' ' or "New Student Movement" as a great force for the creation of a "new human and social condition." Dr. Martin cited the thinking of a Rotarian he once heard speak at Berkeley as an advocate of the concept of a "static America." The man, Martin said, was so unfamiliar with the concept of change that he "congratulated the people of Berkeley on living near the college." Dr. Martin warned against the thinking that the ''New Student Movement" is comparable to the college fads of previous generations. ''It has nothing to do with 'Joe College and his Goldfish,' " he said. Martin divided today's students into four sub-cultures. The collegiate subculture he estimated to be 50% of the student population. His "collegiates" focus their attention on fun and games.

Board plans for ·expansion; tentatively adopts master plan Palomar's Governing Board tentatively adopted a master plan Tuesday, enumerating the facilities expected to be required for an ultimate enrollment of 5,000 day students, and actions to prepare for this from 1966 to 19SO. Dr. Frederick R. Huber, college president, said the study takes into consideration Palomar's heritage of community service, educational advancement, and careful long-range planning to meet the region's growth and needs. Facilities listed for future construction on a "flexible" schedule of projects in segments during the next 14 years include a business building, field house for men, athletic stadium, swimming pool, vocational education facilities for apprenticeship, facilities for nursing, medical and dental assisting, industrial and auto-technology, a new library and · student union, theater arts building including classrooms with a small theater with 300 to 500 seating capacity and a communications department, equipment and additions to present facilities, and more parking space. The plan envisioned acquisition of 21.72 acres of new campus space adjacent to the present grounds, and purchase of which had been proposed by the governing board several weeks ago. The board
had offered $4,000 an acre for this property to the California League of Senior ·citizens, the owners. The League had notified the college that its price on the property was $6,000 an acre. At the Tuesday meeting, representatives of the League appeared before the board and suggested negotiations be reopened on a compromise price of $5,000 an acre. The board asked the League representatives to submit details of its price proposal in writing at a later date, including clarification of a road easement issue. The report on the master plan pointed out that the present bonding capacity of the college district is $12 million, with $4. 6 million presently outstanding, and making $7.4 million available for bond purposes unde r the prese nt assessed evaluation of the district. The board received a number ofletters supporting its recent re solution urging a state-wide long-range study of financing of junior colleges, including endorsements of the proposal from Gov. Edmund G. Brown; Thomas W. Braden, president of the state Board of Education; Dr. John W. Dunn, superintendent of the Peralta Colleges and a former Palomar president; and Dr. Terrel Spencer, superintendent of Imperial Valley College.
''They can cause the administration momentary embarrassment, but for the most part are more compatible with the administration than the non-conformists." The second class in ·the subculture structure is the "professional group" who come to college for job training. They approximate 20% Martin said. He cited the academic group as about 15% and the dissident or bohemian group as 10 to 20%. Martin stated the primary concerns of the dissidents are social issues and personal integrity. Dr. Martin believes that the dissidents have a large body of sympathizers. According to a poll on the Free Speech Movement that he cited, 30% of the students polled, were in favor of both its tactics and goals and another 30% were in favor of the goals only. Dr. Martin condemned the habit of discounting the student movement as a lunatic fringe as mistaken. Also he said the importance of the sprinkling of anarchists and communists is much exaggerated. Martin reminded his listeners that historically minorities shape the courses of ct'vilizations. The New Student, be believes, cherishes traditional American values, especially the primacy of the individual in a demo(Continued on page 4)

If at first you don't succeed Try, try again freshmen The liming of the "P" project still seems to be having a little trouble getting off the ground. September 24 twenty Palomar students started out to undertake this annualproject, finding that there were some difficulties which they couldn't overcome. According to Robert Bowman, Dean of Student Activities, lack of man power was Palomar's number one problem; over one-half of the students were female. Another problem whichcameup was a shortage of adequate vehicles to carry the lime as close to the "P"
as possible. Dean Bowman seems to think that lack of publicity was still another of the problems. If the decision were up to Dean Bowman, he would have waited until a Freshman class president was elected to carry out the leadership of this annual freshman project. He also prefers to line the "P" with crushed rock or something semi-permanent as that. The next try for liming the "P" is tentatively set for Saturday. The ASB Council and Dean Bowman urge students to attend.
