Seven clubs unexpectedly suspended from interclub council by new organization ruling Seven clubs have been suspended from the Inter Club <;;ouncil because theyhave not heeded new rules outlined by the reorganized club coordinating body. Alpha Kappa Omicron (secretarial organization,) Associated Men Students, Baptist Student Union, Ixthus (Luthern organization,) Wesley (Methodist organization,) Young D:~mocrats, and Letterman's Club have been temporarily suspended from ICC because they have not met attendence requirements. Among these new specifications is that a club representative m•1st be present at each m1:Jeting of ICC. Clubs missing two consecutive meetings or three meetings during the semester will have their club

charters revoked and will not be readmitted into the club council. Realizing that some clubs have not organized yet, ICC has given them two weeks in which to petition for readmission. If they do not petition within this time, ICC will revoke their charters for the semester. At their Thursday meeting the co:.mcil readmitted the Art Guild which had been among the suspended clubs. Clubs were not formally notified of the new ICC ruling, but the clubs that have been suspended have been notified formally that their charters are temporarily

revoked. They were given three weeks to organize and send a representative to the meeting. Again, a reminder, there are only twa weeks left in which these clubs may petition. During the time that a club is suspended from the ICC organization, it will not be allowed to have any on-campus functions, since such activities are now controlled by ICC and only indirectly by the student activities office. Clubs must have ICC approval of their proposed function before it is entered on the school calendar. "We can't function efficiently unless

all clubs send representatives," commented ASB Vice President and ICC Chairman, Nancy Hicks. "This way," she continued, "there won't be any ~ix ups on dates for activities because only clubs who maintain memberships in ICC will be allowed to have any activities." If a club does not have a charter, Miss Hicks wishes to emphasize, it will not be allowed to have meetings or functions on campus. One big problem arising from the suspension of the clubs is the eligibility of homecoming candidates sponsored by suspended clubs. This problem was not .brought up during the ICC meeting Thurs-

day and it can not be resolveP, until their Thursday meeting this week. Clubs wishing to sponsor homecoming candidates should petition at the ICC meeting for recognition so that their candidates will be eligible for the primary election the next day. Clubs may not campaign for their candidates unless they are a recognized member of the Inter-Club Coe1ncil. There is a total of nineteen clubs on campus and seven have so far been suspended. ICC hopes that these clubs will petition for readmission to make the organization function to its potential.

Few dissenting opinioru expressed during ForumS Friday session Sho:.tld we pull out of VietNam? "No," was the expressed opinion of the students who discussed the topic at Palomar's first Forum Friday. No strong opposition to the United States involvement in Viet Nam was stated, and as one student said afterwards; "The opposition is sitting in the snack bar." Bill Dormes, student speaker, began the discussion by relating his experiences in Viet Nam, and expressing his opinion that we should remain there to fight the Comm:mists. "If we pull out of Viet Nam. are we going to pull out of Southeast Asia? Are we going to defend Latin America? Mexico? Are we going to fight the Communists at the Tijuana border or in Viet Nam?"
"Innocent people get .hurt in every war. You can't be nice guys." "We must face the Communists some time. Sh~uld we do it now or leave it up to tHe future generation to do it? I'd rather do it now." "As for hurting a country's chance for democracy--other countries have been to war and comeoutofitwlthademocracy." Another discussion point was our country's purpose in Viet Nam. One student felt that if we tried to justify the war with our country's economic success in mind that the war was all right. He further stated that he felt this was the only rationalization of the war.
One student strongly stated that the United States should heavily bomb Viet Nam and end the war, and it should be done now while it is possible. This remark got applause from other students, stirring student opinion on the subject of bombing. "To win a war by bombing is obsolete. Murdering innocent people is not the answer. We would not leave a country unstable enough for a democracy." This student's opinion received many comebacks:
The subject of compromise was brought up by one of the discussion members. General opinion was that there can be no compromise if we wish to maintain our country's dignity. There should be no compromise between "good" forces and "evil" forces; "you can't compromise truth--then you pollute it," emphasized one student. Perhaps one of the best opinions of the war was that "We're trying to justify in honorable terms something that has not been an honorable thine:. " (Continued on page 4)

Speech team enters first PSCFA competition Friday Friday the Palo:nar speech team will face its first competition of the year at the Pacific Southwest Collegiate Forensic Association's Preview Tournament. This meet at San Fernando Valley State College will pit eighteen novices and one returnee against many top orators from four year colleges in the nation's largest forensics conference. Raymond Dahlin, speech instructor and forensics coach, said the team was the largest Palomar has ever fielded, but that "almost all of them are beginners." The team will be trying
to better last year's high standing of 12th in the nation, a rating earned in the conference that Dahlin considers the toughest in the nation. In this premier contest they will enter the original oratory, oral interpretation, and debate categories . Other meets in the near future will be the "Warm Up" Tournament at San Diego State College, October 28th and 29th, and the USC- Loyola Tournament at Loyola University, November 4- 5. Other meet dates definitely established on the forensic squad's semester calendar are November
18-19, December 9-10, and January 27-28. The team facing this stiff schedule consists of sophomore veteran Kim Mitterling, beginners Sharon Waldorf, Niki Kester, Shari McFarland, Mitties Mac Donald, Diane Landfear, Debbie Jones , Mary Tucker, Cheryl Starr, Darlene Hendrickson, Mark V·i olet (Honors Day speech winner,) Tony Connelly, Dave Sullivan, Andy Saenz, Tim Chambless, Tom Wood, Ted Dyck, and Larry ·Rintye. Palmer Kremer, history instructor, will also accompany Dahlin's team .
Nationally famous Bishop's Coinpany to present tl1ree plays on campus The drama department will host a repertory troupe, the highly praised Bishop's Company, October 27, 28, and 29. The company will perform on each of these dates at 8 p.m. and following each performance wm be a seminar. The first night performance will be ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE by Henrick Ibsen. The second night's offering will be STEP DOWN TO GLORY by the young playwright Gary Hielsberg, and the third night will bring an abridged version of THE LARK, George Bernard Shaw's story of St. Joan of Arc. Host and drama instructor, Frank N. White, says near capacity audiences may make
pQssible a Saturday matinee on October 29 featuring WINNIE THE POOJI, The Bishop's Company is a unique group formed 14 years ago when Mi.ss Phyllis Beardsley Bokar gathered a half dozen actors, willing to act without pay, to give life to a long hidden dream . The diVtsion from convention only began at that moment. The compa.ny's first performance was staged in a church, the Ve rmont Square Methodist Church of Los Angeles. For years the dedicated thespians eked out their existence as they promoted the forgotten theater form, drama before the alter. Among the highlights of the company's history are the performances at the
1954 World Council of Churches assembly which provided publicity that later took them to the chancels of many churche s . The company no longer restricts itself to religious audiences and it is now large enough to have four separate traveling groups, yet the past remains close. They still perform THE BOY WITH THE CART, that first play of 14 years ago. Another of the Bishop's Company's favorite plays still much employed is CRY THE BELOVED COUNTRY, But in far more active use t)'lan the play is one of the company's charter members, Mina Caldwell, who has traveled with the group, as she still does, since she joined at the age of 67.
