Realizing that the New Student is ·changing rapidly, Dr. David Cole remarked that he could easily have waited until the night before to prepare his lecture to the Palomar student body. Dr. Cole, Chairman of the Psychology Department at Occidental College, spoke to students Friday at 10:00 in the student union. He was the fourth speaker in the humanities series. Dr. Cole outlined the changes in the college student during the past fifteen years and expressed some predictions about what he felt the future student would be. The students of the middle '50's, Dr. Cole observed, were more concerned with their own welfare and security. This changed rapidly, even more rapidly than most individuals had expected. Activism was becoming a reality on the college campus with among other factors the decline of fear during the McCarthy era, and the ''probing" eye of television which revealed the problems of segregation. "Man's inhumanity to man was not remote, "Dr. Cole expressed. Students began to do something about these problems. Large numbers of students participated in civil rights campaigns, voterregistration marches, trying to fight what they believed were social wrongs. Student activism, Dr. Cole believes, is an attempt to reduce alienation, to clarify the student's own value and worth. Students now are entering a third phase at which Dr. Cole looks as a time of recession from the high water mark of the early '60's activities. Causes of this drift, in his opinion, are the assassination of President John F. Kennedy-the national figure representing youth, vitality, and the hopes and possibilities of youth which has not
Whether or not to retain the 11:00 free hour has been the topic of discussion for a Faculty Senate Ad-Hoc Committee for the past few-weeks. The committee will give its final report to the Faculty Senate March 6. Thursday the committee met and decided that the free hour, at least three days a week, was beneficial to the college and that it did not create a serious scheduling problem The committee, with Kirby Cox as Chairman and Richard Norlin, Everett Robertson, and student Penny Hill as members, held "hearings," giving representatives of the administration, faculty, and studenty body a chance to present their arguments for or against an open hour. Administration representaU ves had few complaints and the
students had none. It was certain membbers of the faculty, however, that had problems scheduling classes and felt that by using the 11:00 hour more time would be abailable. The committee evaluated all the proposals and drew up a set of suggestions which will be published in next week's TELESCOPE. Originally, the committee was appointed to investigate the value of the 11:00 hour after a survey was taken of most of the faculty asking whether or not they wished to have that hour abolished. Student body representatives were invited to speak at a faculty senate meeting and as a result of their dissention with the abolition idea, the Senate members voted to establish the investigative committee.
Dr. Cole disagreed that only the minority are affected with the movements of activism. That they bring a change or bring attention to a problem by themselves is true, but he observed that through the generations it has been the minority which has contributed to the progress of nations. He hypothesized that had we been residents of Lexington, we would have heard from our neighbors that there had been some activity on the green that morning, and that had we been in the area, we might have heard, "via the grapevine," that there had been a rubble in front of the Bastille. What he was stressing was that "the people" were not at Selma or on the corner of Avalon in South Los Angeles, but nevertheless we have been made aware of those problems. "An active minority," Dr. Cole emphasized, "speaks to the many about the meaning of being a man." Student activism as a sign of rebellion, Dr. Cole feels, can be divided into three
The third group is what Dr. Cole sees as the most constructive individuals, the quiet rebels, who begin to question seriously those things that are around them. They are disturbed about certain aspects of the culture and wish to do something about changing them.They are persistent in wishing to reach their goals and, unlike the first dissenting group, are willing to compromise. These are the students who are not rebelling against their parent's ideas, but rather against their passivity. . "We've asked for," Dr. Cole said. ''The challenges they put to us are legitimate.'' He feels that it is now the responsiblity of the adults to answe r the young people. By meeting the challenge with understanding, there will be an increase of the authentic s tudent concern. By meeting it with bureaucracy, Dr. Cole feels, the constructive aspect will become destructive and the quiet rebels will turn inward. If the students fail to seek constructive ends and if the instructors fail to meet student's needs, Dr. Cole feels that "a great opportunity will have been lost both for the oresent and future.''
buttons distributed Friday's humanties lecture was preluded with the usual passing out of attenance cards plus an unusual addition-"Grow With Palomar" buttons. These buttons have been selling in the bookstore for most of the year for $.50. They were used to promote the enthusiasm for the bond election and students were seen throughout the day wearing the big red buttons.

His educated and researched guess is that the students are not moving toward the apathy of the 50's. Instead, he feels that they are seeking a somewhat quieter, perhaps more enduring campaign with modified goals and closer investigation of a student's own academic situation. ''If concern is expressed in a quieter way," Dr. Cole stated, "it is no less authentic.''
classifications. The first would be what some call the "rebel without a cause," he who wants to be "against" to have something on which he can vent his inner hostilities. These recalcitrants are more concerned with the act rather than the goals of rebellion. The docile recalcitrants Dr. Cole classified as rebels without a risk, protesting health centers, cafeteria food, and writing letters to the editor with no follow up action.

been duplicated by the current administration--black power which has made students drop out of and wonder about the philosophy of civil rights, the drift towards conservatism, the persistance of the Vietnam War, and the fact that most crusades have a short life span.
Dr. Cole explains part of his theory on student rebellion in detail during the open session following Friday's lecture.
Dr. Frederick Huber addressed the students expressing the hope that they would work through the weekend and up to the election raising support for the bond. He said he expressed "Cautious Optimism" about the success of today's election with the hope that the students would participate Saturday in the telephone campaign.

Speech team captures awards at Long Beach; two n1embers recetv-re Rotary scholarships The Speech Team launched its spring program with the squad taking nine places in opening competition at Long Beach February 18 and 19 and three members receiving speech scholarships. The wins were all in the individual competition division of oral interpretation , original oratory, extemporaneous speaking, and impromptu speaking. The four debate teams fielded to contest this year's debate topic !'Resolved, that the United States should substantially reduce its foreign policy committments" failed to place, but three won two rounds and the fourth won one. Six of the twelve Palomar representatives were competing for the first time beyond the college intramural level. The veterans were Kim Mitterling, Nicola Kester, Darlene Hendrickson, Tim Chambless, Mark Violet, and Tony Connelly. The neophytes were Sandy Udov, Mitties McDonald, Diane Landfear, Sherry Chambless, Jeff Wickum, and Ed Fisher, all fresh from five days of intramural competition ending February 10.
In his first contest Ed Fisher took a superior in origina~ oratory. Sandy Udov also took a superior in oratory, as well as an excellent in oral interpretation. Veteran Kim Mitterling took an excellent in oratory while Mitties McDonald, a talented newcomer, won an excellent in the difficult impromptu speech category. Mark Violet caputred an excellent in extemporaneous speaking and a superior in impromptu and Jeff Wickum brought home a win on his first excursion with an excellent in oral interpretation. Some of these winners from the Long Beach contest were standouts from the intramural speech series of two weeks ago. In a two category tournament the results were, in oral interpretation: first place Mitties McDonald, second place Jeff Wickum, third place Darlene Hendrickson. In original oratory Ed Fisher placed first, Sandy Udov second, and Joan Dugger third. Saturday the speech team sponsored a North County-wide high school students' invitational tournament. Oceanside High School ran away with the sweepstakes,
as they took nine of the top 12 places in the four category contest chairmaned by Mitties McDonald. In dramatic interpretation Oceanside took all three of the first three places with Cindy Cross taking first and Glenna Smith of Fallbrook taking fourth. John Baker of Oceanside took the first place in humorous interpretation, while team mate Bill Bagley took the top honors in oratorical analysis and original oratory. The Escondido Rotary Club last week awarded $50 speech scholarships to Mitties McDonald and Diane Landfear. John C. Raymond, representing the Rotarians, presented the girls with symbolic checks Thursday. "The girls were chosen," said speech instructor Ray Dahlin, "because they are outstanding and hardworking members of the team.'' Nikki Kester was also notified that she is a recipient of a $50 speech scholarship given by James Wong, proprietor of the San Diego restaurant , "The Golden Dragon.''
