JAJC Vice President praises .staff for excellence zn compostition ,• Grand Award small schools •

San Diego Mayor Frank Curran called them wild country boys; many colleges called them unprintable names , but the Journalism Association of Junior Colleges called them--Palomar's journalism department JAJC delegates, Grand Award small school winners, and second place sweepstakes winners.

The honors were given during the annual JAJC convention which was held this year at Vacation Village ~ April 14-16. Host schools were Palomar, Grossmont, Mesa, City, and Southwestern. Among this year's officers was Palomar student Penny Hill , Vice President.

"Without our great photography staff, " commented Miss Hill, "we wouldn ' thave been nearly as successful as we were ."

The photo department walked away with as many awards in mail-in competition as the rest of the staff did.

The awards wee presented Saturday evening after dinner.

Rio Hondo, a first-time entrant in JAJC competition, was the ove rall sweepstakes winner.

Winning recognition in mail-in competition were traveling correspondent Jean Peasley. second place news: Brad Stoddard, third place cartoon. and spring '66 editor Beverly White, third place page 1 make-up. Photography awards went to Terry Moon, first place sports; John Lovell. second place feature: and Mario Jimenez, second place photo series.

Palomar's only on-the-spot winner was John Lovell, second place photography.

After the awards, the host college advisors recognized one of the winning photo entries as having been submitted

before . After checking the files, they discovered that Cerritos College had won an award in 1964 for the same photo series that won this year. They disqualified the entry, and disciplinary action is pending an investigation.

The major events of the conference were two lectures presented by members of the L. A, TIMES Pulitzer Prize winning team which covered the Watts Riots, Dick Turpin and Jack Jones. and Arthur Sylvester, former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs. Sylvester has been a center of discussion after his statements that the government has the right to lie to the public and that there is no such thing as a "Credibility Gap" in the War in Vietnam.

Besides entering on-the-spot contests, the students also had the opportunity of attending panels on politics with Sylvester, magazine feature with William Self Editor of San Dieg<2_ Magazine, fashions with Beth Mohr of the San Diego UNION, and sports with Les Blnkeley of the San Diego Gulls and Reed Nessel of the San Diego EVENING TRIBUNE,

There was also a student section meeting, the annual business meeting which. according to Miss Hill, was a disaster.

She reported that the students were more concerned with running the meeting like student government representatives than they were with meeting journalism problems.

"This group," she stated, ··is not supposed to be , or even resemble, student government. Southwestern caused a lot of trouble with Roberts Rules of Parliamentary Procedure. and then walked out.,. Roberts Rules, or any other set of procedural rules, Miss Hill remarked, were not stipulated in the JAJC Student Section constitution.

"These rules are for the purpose of speeding up and bringing order to a meeting," the Vice President said, "and not for blocking action and progress."

Friday evening' s entertainment was a dance and on Saturday the officers presented a series of films called "The Generation Gap , " which the president and vice president had seen in Washington, D. C. at the United States Student Press Association conference.

Speech coach Ray Dahlin admires one of the many awards brought home hy the team which placed second in the state . The · team is shown with their awards.

Speakers win second place rating The results of the recent California State Junior College Speech Championships proclaim that Palomar' s foren s ic squad is the number two two-year college team in California. In the tournam ent at Southwestern College April H-1 6. the Palomar team won the s econd place in Sweepstakes, thus clinching "the biggest win of any Palomar spech team in ten years," according to Ray Dahl in, speech instructor. · Among the 40 teams compe ting, Palomar yielded the Sweepstake s c hampionship to Cerritos College, which. ac cording to Palomar orators , is "the" tra ditionally strong team in California junior college speech competition .

Johnston has been repeatedly asked to do something about the situation, he says.

The second issue is for the installation of food and drink machines in the art and music complex. ·There are no such machines presently installed.

The closest machines are in the student union and engineering building.

Council qJposes Hspecial election"-Johnston ballot now poll Yesterday during the TELESCOPE ' S paste-up deadline. the ASB Council was meeting. deciding the fate of ASB President Ed Johnston ' s ;'special election.~ The Council strongly objected to his "arbitra:ry move . ~ feeling that he had no right to call such an election without approval of the Council.

ASB Vice President Jim Strong stated, ·'It is illegal for the simple reason that he has not appointed a special elections committee. he has not brought it (the issue) before the ASB and the Judicial Committee has not met to consider it and write it out."

ASB Advisors Robert Bowman and 1\Iarjorie Wallace feel that what Johnston is

aiming for is student opinion, and that a poll would meet the needs. "An election is a decision," stated Dean Bowman, and he continued by saying that a poll seeks opm10n.

He also said that the object of an election is to bring about action.

"Legally he can do it as a poll," Pat McArdle . Judicial Chairman, told the TELESCOPE. She said that Johnston had asked her opinion on the subject of an election, but that he had not presented the ballot to her, or fully explained his intent.

However. by 12:15 the Council, Advisors. and Johnston ,had agreed that the "special election- would be a student poll.

Education Presentation successful ' 150 high schex>l girls attend The Associated Women Students and Women's Recreation Association welcomed approximately 150 senior girls from district high schools to their EDUCATION PRESENTATION ' 67.

The afternoon first offered tours of all departments. followed by special programs. Dinner was served in the student union followed by the high light of the evening, a panel discussion by a variety of successfyl women.

The five women who participated in the panel were Natalie Best. a KOGOTV News Commentator: Marjorie Gray, an Escondido Artist: Sandy Garman from Pacific Telephone: Melinda Horakh, Palomar's school nurse; and Evanell Renick of our business department. Each women commented on some facet of her personel success and told what was available in their various fields.

A question and answer session followed.

During dinnner, two awards werepresented to Palomar women. The Woman of the Month was recieved by Penny Hill, past TELESCOPE editor. Best Groomed Girl of the Month was presented to Dora Kaclja. sophomore student.

Miss Hill, an active journalism major, is a participant in student government, cheerleading and clubs. This month she has been working on the annual junior which was successfully held the 14-16 ink Vacation Village. She is the out-going Vice Pres ident of the organization. In addition to her present job as copy editor of the TELESCOPE, Penny is handling the college public relation work in the absence of Scott Boyles, who recently had a heart attack, and also

is the assistant to the Director of Publicity at La Costa.

Dora Kadja is the April Best Dressed Girl. She was chosen for her tasteful and an always well-groomed look every day. Dora enjoys sewing. tennis, and horseback riding. She is a general e ducation major who is uncertain about her future plans.

The last issue is on the price of the ASB card. He stated that a "raise is in the offing.~ The proposition on the ballot states that the card will not be raised before the fall of 1968. and then only after a vote of students to determine the desirability of such a move .

The poll was called by Johnston who terms it the "first move toward the student council doing something." He felt that there is a need to know how the students feel on the issues presented.

He said that passage of the poll does not automatically put the measures into e ffect: the final word is from the Council.

Students are urged to vote in the issues for "their own benefit. This is Money!"

Johnston feels the measures "would save them (the students) more than $10, possibly S15 . " The • poll and other matters will be discussed tomorrow in an open discussion with Johnston and members of the Student Council in F-22 at 11 a.m.

Shape PC future at YD meeting All those interested in shaping the future of Palomar are invited to attend the Young Democrat's Friday meeting.

At 11:00 in P-18 the organization will continue with it's controversial teacherevaluation program.

Many evaluation sheets have IJeen collected, reports Minister of Propaganda Rita Schmidt, and the club will pick the most salient points from these in order to form a composite questionaire .

The YD's began their evaluation program a couple of weeks ago when they held an open discussion of the practicality of a campus rating of instructors.

The club wanted to discover whether students felt they should have a voice in determining instructor' s tenure. About a third of the audience, which was numbered 50. was faculty,

Dear Editor, The Young Democrats would like to thank the TELESCOPE staff for their marvelous coverage of our panel discussion, "Should Students Decide Tenure."

It was kind of you to send a reporter.

However, may we were asking too much to expect the reporter to actually write a story.

Seriously, I can understand why the TELESCOPE decided not to run a story on the most important campus activity of the week. The page one story, ' ' Latter Day Saints request access through Palomar fence" was certainly much more relevant to student life at Palomar.

Nigerians and insects friendly

/

By Jean Peasley On April Fools' Day I was 5,000 miles from home , 90 miles inland off the coast of Africa and weltering in 100 degree heat. The country was Nigeria and the place was the University of Ibad~n. whre we were guests for two days.

The students at the university were anticipating our arrival, in spite of the four hour delay we had in getting there due to flat tire. Our bus had a blowout right in front an African village with about a populatior of !50. While we wai.ted in the hot sun, we walked through ::he willage where there was an equal exchange of looks of curiousity between students and natives.

We saw things in the village that you usually see in an encyclopedia picture.

There were open pots cooking over outside pit fires, children half-naked running around--dying to pose for pictures, men dressed in native costumes which looked like extra-large pajamas, and women carrying babies on their backs while they worked. Nearby was a stream where the natives use canoes for transportation between villages.

They also washed in the stream, laying their clothes on the ground or bushes to dry.

Visiting an AfriCfl.n University, one of the four in Nigeria, proved to be an experience. Getting there at 10:30 p.m. we were invited to have our warmedover supper-- amidst the bugs and lizards who make their home in there during the night. After dinner I decided to take a ·shower, and found more of the friendly bugs (friendly because they all crawl toward you) in the showers and sinks.

The bathroom turned out to be both coed and international, with stt:dents, faculty, and Nigerians using the same facilities.

Nigeria has a very touchy political situation now, possibly being on the brink of a civil war. The country is divided into four major parts, each representing a tribe who wants the military control which runs the government.

This conflict we were aware of, and incidents arose which made us feel the reality of it. While staying at the campus, they would not let us go into town at night because the tribes were known to sometimes sit on each side of the road and shoot at each other.

The Yorubas, the predominent tribe in the South where we visited, have three long scars on their cheeks which are given to them at birth. One student saw a ceremony where the child was receiving the scars, and the screams and blood coming from the torture were almost unbearable to him, yet this "branding" is still considered a tribal custom.

To the Nigerians, we are very rich people. Not only rich in having money . but rich in having the freedom they wish to have. Some Nigerians, especially young college students, will do anything to get to the United States.

Many girls were proposed to by Ni~erian boys who wanted to come to the country where ''everyone has big homes and cars to drive.'' These were common desires for the educated college students, yet there are many children in Nigeria who had never heard of the United States, or even seen a white person before. We were quite a sight for them, and when the busses passed through the villages, the children ran out to see ''those strange looking white people."

Guest Commentary Last weekend six members of the Palomar College student council spent two days at a student government convention attended by delegates from more than eighty junior colleges in California.

We found that the general concensus of junior college students throughout the state is that students should have a greater voice in deciding policies made by the faculty and administration which directly concern the students.

These include: grading, evaluation of instruction and curriculun, censorship, publicity, conduct, free expression etc.

Most of the students felt that we were qualified to assume more r esponsibility than has been delegated to us in the past by the faculty and administration. It was also apparent, however, that the assuming of these powers was' feasable only on campuses where the general student body supported the ASB council and the college activities program.

The student council at Palomar College is run on the democratic system, which makes its success entirely dependent upon the students it serves. At present student support has reached an all time low at Palomar. On the average ten per cent of the student body votes in any election, and for the past two semesters most of the candidates for major ASB offices have been uncontested at election time.

Attendance at student forums and at the humanities lectures is ridiculously small.

The faculty and administration have no recourse but to assume that the vast majority of the students at this institution wish to be dictated to as they were in high school and elementary school.

It is most regretful that.,this is tne

case. Part of the blame. of course, must lie with the student council, however, in a college environment we feel that it is not the duty of the council to merely pacify the students with "bread and circuses" but to carry out their suggestions and represent them effectively to the faculty and administration.

A possible solution to Palomar's dilemma, suggested by one council member, was to do away with elected officers - and establish an ASB dictatorship, thereby relieving the student body of all responsibility in college decision making. A second and more desirable _solution would be for the stude nts to take it upon themselves to learn more about the participate in their c ampus and their community.

TWO STUDENT VIEWS ON STUDENT GOVERNMENT

The adults of this generation have been called "a nation of sheep", and we feel that unless students detach themselves from the great herd movement while in college, and take an active interest in those decisions which directly effect them, they will find when it is too late that it their desire for security they have turned their futures over to a small group of professional decision makers.

Pat McArdle Judicial Chairman As the semester has progressed , it has become obvious that the students on this campus take no serious interest in their government or club activities.

It appears that the problem lies in their lack of individuality. Like lambs to the slaughter, they have gone through college life as a mass of hum-drum nonpartakers.

The evidence is overwhelming. Participation in such things as The Forum, The President's press conference, Student Body Assemblies, and Basketball and Baseball games has been disgraceful.

Even such issues as teacher's tenure, which should be of vital concern to us all, has gone unnoticed and unrepresented by the general student body.

A member of the student council of a college is normally more than willing to give a great deal of time to the affairs of that college. When the student body isn't willing to devote any time to itself in return, however, then why should the council bother working for the student? This has become a very sore issue within the council chambers.

We find it difficult, if not impossible, to vote on matters concerning the entire student body for the simple reason that we don 't know their desires.

What it all comes down to then, is there are no leaders willing to take some initiative. The usual excuse we get for this is, ''I'm just too busy."

Yet we turn right around and hear the old complaint that, "This place is dead. There' s nothing going on." Fine!

So there's nothing going on. Well, how how about some c~nstructive ideas to liven up the ole homestead.

We on the ASB Council are here to serve you, but there isn't much we can do until you tell us what you want. The council meetings on Mondays at 11:00 am are open to the student body. How about taking some of that energy you use to rub the varnish off the chairs in the Student Union to bring some ideas and desires to the studeJ"'t council J~m Strong ASB Vice President

Cinema review

Grand Prix- academy award witmer

By Barbara Sage Suspense and anxiety mount up as the Formula I Grand Prix cars wheel up to the grid, mechanics making last-minute adjustments, drive rs fidgeting with their gloves and shift levers, the picture smapping from one driver to another, close ups, view shots, heartbeats increasing, three liter engines roaring to life, and then the starting flag. Scre&ming off the grid as the viewer's tension explodes. But it's not the same tension which lasts as the viewer is riding along in the car only fourteen inches off the road , flying at speeds up to 18 0 mph around curves and overtaking cars through the streets of Monte Carlo. Ju'st as you get into the swing of things, a car plunge s nose-first into the Mediterranean right before your eyes. Later, it's ar ound the Spa then suddenly the s ky opens up and solid grey sheets of rain is before you, blocking any view of the road. But you can't stop now, even though you can't see a thing and you feel the car planing along the slippery film of water. This is Gran Prix as only it can bring the beauty and excitement of racing to the screen.

The story revolves around four drivers: James Garner as the American Peter Aron; Brian Bedford as the Briton Scott Stoddard; Yves Montand as the Corsican Jean-Pierre Sarti, and Antonio Sarti, and Antonio Sabato as the Sicilian Nino Barlini. Not one of these men are playing parts of hero or villain. They all play a roll of winning and conflict within themselves. Eva Marie Saint plays the part as the American fashion maga zine editor , Jessica Walter as the bored wife of Brian Bedord, and Fr~ncoise Hardy as the pit popsie.

The action takes place at the Monte Carlo Grand Prix to the Dutch Grand Prix at. Zandvoort, the Elgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, the British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch and finally the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

The only complete ly staged race is the French Grand prix at Clermont-Perrand. All the other races are actual footage taken during the 1966 races.

Grand Prix is a movie of no plot; just a series of episodes all put together. In between the tenseness of each race, the story drops into a dramatic tale, filling the space between races.

Even though the movie is the worst as far as having no plot at all, it is the best in the Formula I car racing field. No other car racing movie before this one could begin to compare.

"Why do men race ?" is the question implanted in the viewer's mind after watching a few of the mishaps during those dangerous races. As Sarti puts it, ''There is no bad way to win; there is only winning." This still may leave the viewer confused. Is it really for the winning of a Grand Prix title, or the enjoyment of driving one these fast little cars, or do the drivers have little · care about what might happen to them if a wheel should fall off at 180 mph or if the car catches on fire.

Each man has his own reason, one which the viewer may never see.

The photography crew, as terrific as anything else, is, stole the show with it's close-up shot s, wide angle shots and the trickly optical e ffects. The three-way split screen, a checkerboard with dozens of tiny squares showing t he s ame image, and a "car ballet" interlude, as in a dreamseauence added to the normal ast speed and tension shos.

The shots were not only from the sidelines at the best vantage points, but also from helicopters above and from the cars themselves during the actual r aces . At one point, the cockpit of Phil Hill's McLaren-Ford in the rain at the Spa is in view as some of the most exciting photography ever taken.

There is one incident in the film which was supposed to be staged but wasn't.

In one race, James Garner's car leaked fuel ' and caught on fire as he made it across the finish line first before the whole car blew up, which was all planned. What wasn't scheduled is the incident where the cockpit of Garner's oar catches fire. The camera was jumping all around to shoot all of the actual action with people running from all directions. Garner now has a scar on the right side of his neck from the burn.

Garner is the only actor doing all of his own driving in this movie. All the rest have stunt men.

John Frankenheimer's academy award winner for Cinamatography, film editing, and sound effects, Grand Prix, is t he best racing movie ever produced which pleases both the race car enthusiast and amateurs alike.

Theodore Kilm::tn

Editor's note: My feelings on the subject are one of tardiness on the reporter, but uncxcusable oversight on my part.

To the A. S,B. of Palomar: This past Thursday through Saturday I was privileged to attend the 43rd Bi-Annual California Student Government Association Convention in Los Angeles. I want to thank the A,S,B. for sending me as a delegate.

Palomar's delegation was made up of Jim Strong, President's workshop; Pat McArdle\, Role of Faculty and Administration; Sandy Eagleston, Role of Campus organizations; Joe Wu, Campus currents and myself, Michael Gunderson, the Changing Student. We were accompanied by Mrs. Wallace, Dean of Women, and met by Steve Wozniak,.Area 1 President, and Dean Bowman, Director of Student Activities.

Palomar was active in the President's workshop co-sponsoring a resolution in support of the President's action in Vietnam.

In the changing student workshop, Palomar was sponsor of the Student Press free from censorship resolution and a resolution on a re-evaluation of current drug laws and a co-sponsor for controversial literature on campus and a Student Bill of Rights resolution.

Before leaving, I wasapproached by a number of delegates from other colleges who commented "Palomar has changed since last year. It's not so puritan any more." ' These were comments from the delegates from Merrit, Pierce, and Long Beach B. T.C.; colleges 3 to 5 times bigger than Palomar and noted for outspoken controversial views.

These comments were made because Palomar delegation spoke up and made our views known.

The convention was complete success to the students attending. This was learning experience impossible for a person to describe or professor to teach.

The people met and the activities won't be forgotten . I feel all students who feel there is "apathy" should attend such a convention.

Sports Talk

By Buzz Ponce In the interest of the public eye, students at Palomar College should not only be apathetically aware of the goings on of such extra mural activities as baseball and track, but should have a broad knowledge of the lesser physical happenings as well.

Golf and tennis lovers unite! Now is the time to speak out for your sport.

To get the ball rolling, this corner has volunteered space and effort to attract non-partisan viewers of all atheletic events .

While Larry Knuth's distance performers have run as many headlines as miles, the Comet golf group continues to beat the little white ball with surprising accuracy. Led by their ageless mentor Ward Myers, Palomar currently hangs in the second slot in Pacific Southwest Conference play.

NO PALMER'S The Comet's recently played host to a grid-iron power, Pasedena City College, however the City team was no match on the green for Myers' men. On the football field it might be a different story, but there was little doubt left in people's mind as to the superior golf squad.

There may be no Arnold Palmer's on this team and certainly not a Jack Nicholas, yet the local linkers aren't a bunch of duffers either. They have a steady onslaught of hitting with medalist honors shifting from one club to the next.

On the other hand, Palomar can boast of a deserving but mediocre tennis team.

The netters punched their last ball of the season last Thursday afternoon,

dropping a decision to San Diego City College. Perhaps without Jim Mulder the Comet's record would be less than their already discouraging 4-10-1 reading.

Mulder was the best swinger the Comets had in their uniform this season.

As a high schooler he ranked as one of the leading tennis troupers tn the North County. Evidences has shown that the sophomore from Escondido has slipped little from his high ratings .

THREE CHEERS FOR DEMPSEY Getting away from the golf and tennis round-up, it is noticed with pleasure that Tom Dempsey, one of the best football boaters in the nation last year when he wore Comet garb, has signed as a free-agent with the Green Bay Packers.

Football fans who have an recollection what-so-ever of the past sesason Palomar endured, will certainly remember big Tom and his achievements while controlling a tackle position and bearing the burden of kick-off man. ''Bearing the burden" may not be the appropriate cliche in this circumstance as Dempsey found no trouble at all when consistently bombing the ball beyond the goal-line limits.

A round of applause as well as three cheers should be given to the likeable Dempsey as he has overcome obstacle that would have sunk the average human being. The TELESCOPE staff sincerely wishes Tom good fortune in his quest to become as member of the Packer clan.

Circle July 26 on your calendar and cross your fingers. That's the day the former Comet begins his tenure with the World Champs.

Conference switch involves Palomar Palomar changing conferences again?

Could be.

A reshuffling of junior college conference alignments will be submitted in proposal form to the State Junior College Athletic Committee meeting in Mod,y, esto May 26~27. · · -- ~. In the current proposal, drawn up after a round of meetings and discussions by a state releaguing committee, Palomar leave the P acific Southest Conference and joing a new conference with Chaffee, San Bernardino, Citrus, Riverside and Cypress.

Palomar joined the Pacific Southwe st Conference in 1964.

The four remaining PSC schoolsSan Diego City, San Diego Mesa,Grossmont and Southwestern- would enter a league with OrangECoast, Golden West,

Santa Ana and Fullerton.

The PSC loses Imperial Valley MiraCosta to the Desert Conference this ·year, leaving a five-team league for 1967-68.

While the plan will be reviewed at a PSC meeting and by the r e-leaguing committe May 25 . some changes are nec essary because of the shift in the PSC and the overloading of the Eastern Conference, now with 10 teams . ''It would equalize the competition,'' stated Rusty Myers, Director of Athletics for Palomar.

One major objection to the current proposal is the c reated necessity for traveling. Southwestern's near est nonconference opponent would be no closer than 120 miles.

Palomar drops doubleheader rain cancels MiraCosta tilt Palomar College dropped both ends of a doubleheader to San Diego Mesa April 15 in Pacific Southwest Conference Play. A doubleheader against county rival MiraCosta was cancelled due to wet grounds.

In the opening game it took 11 innings before Olympian Ken Henderson lead off with a game winning homer.

The Comets enjoyed its best hitting stride of the season, banging out 17 hits and leaving 18 runners stranded.

Centerfielder Sam Blalock led the team at the plate, going 5 for 6.

Comet hurler Rick Zinniger was one strike away from victory, with the team leadingby two runs, when the bottom fell out of the inning.

Zinniger got the first two batters of the frame on a grounder and strikeout.

Working a 1 and 2 count on Olympian Ron Smock proved to be fatal. Smock slashed a single to right, then on the next pitch, Ken Darracq homered to left to send the game into extra innings .

Down 3-2 the Comets hand struck for two runs in the seventh to take the lead.

Blalock and Zinniger hit back-to-back singles and with one out, Tom Hecke ndorn doubled to right-center to drive in both runners.

Palomar made it 5- 3 by scoring again in the top half of the eighth. Rick Adkins singled, advanced on a passed ball and scored on Blalock's double to left.

Thr ee of Blalock's five hits went for two bases. Heckendorn and Zinniger, who each had three safeties and Adkins, hitting for two, were the only Comets to

get more than one safety each in the opener.

In the nitecap Heckendorn was handed the pitching chores, but was pulled in the second because of an injury to the elbow of his throwing arm, on a hit pitch.

Matt Taylor, making his first appearance in over a month after apparently recovering from a back injury, relieved Heckendorn, after the latter had given up four runs.

Taylor threw 5 1/ 3 frames of shutout ball before tiring a nd surrendering four runs on two hits in the eighth.

Taylor had excellent condition for most of his stint. In one three- inning span (the fifth through the seventh) he issued just three balls.

The Comets will make-up the MiraCosta games at a latter date.

By Steve Woodall I went to a love-in last Sunday. It was in Balboa Park on the grass under some trees and there were a hundred or so people in attendance and they were mostly dressed strangely and they were burning incense and some were smoking it and there were some guys down a grassy slpe from me playing blues on a guitar and a kazoo and a harmonica; ubly and beautiful people were there--the uglies were mostly loudmouths and pseudos and the beauti. ful people were very cool. smiling and talking and maybe playing music and a couple of beautiful people had a small black and white puppy drinking milk from a little silver frozen pie tin and one ugly person was carrying a large grey wquirrel over his shoulder like you would burp a baby and the squirrel was smoking a cigarette, dead. Somebody's pet turtles were walking around (one of them had a Chiquita Bana sticker pasted on its shell and on top of another was balanced a beautiful red flower) and the turtles were just kind of clamping around all over the place smiling at people and nodding their heads like old ladies . . . . Speaking of old ladies . . . . .

There were all these older people, typical parkgoing solid citizen types just doing the stroll through the park on a Sunday afternoon sort of thing, maybe going through the art gallery or museum or listneing to an organ recital--when all of a sudden these people would come upon this bohemian picnic-carnival of colorful young people. Decadence. "My God! Martha!

What is that!" And after the initial shock came the cliches. "Isn't that disgusting. How do you tell the girls from the boys?"

Well, mostly, sir ~he boys are the ones with beards.

Then they would whip out the old Kodak and start snapping photographs. Hundreds of photographs.

They were all afraid, however, to actually venture ' among the natives. They would stand back a good distance' the heathen might turn vicious at any monent.

In general, people are afraid of what they don't understand. (if these Sunday happenings continue, I think it might be wese for the Balboa Park people to install little signs like the ones at Disneyland that tell you where to set your exposure, etc.

They might even open up a film concession. Or post "Do Not Feed the Love In" signs.

A Modest (But Lucrative) Proposal

By Penny Hill Seems like everyday a new " experience'' can be found by using some common household items in an unljsual way.

I refer to the transportation-power to higher levels of awareness of bananas, nutmeg. rosemary . Vicks inhalers. morning glory seeds. cough syrup.

I have a proposal to offer: That each of us tries to develop a new drug from some-unquestionably legal substances vital to everyday life.

Here is my plan: We discover the most innocent substance and refine it according to the developer's recope . The process will have to be relatively simple , but cumbersome enough for the masses of interrested individuals to want someone else to do the work for them . We will patent the process and make PALOMAR Colege the W·hasit capital of the world.

We can place ads in every paper from the San Francisoco ORACLE to the San Diego FREE PRESS (we'll start one: it is essential to our success), . from the Berkeley BARB to the East Village OTHER. We can send news releases to NEWSWEEK, LIFE, TIME, and the San Marcos LEDGER. I'm so excited I can hardly wait.

We can turn the chem-lab into our factory with the physical science students manufacturing Whasit at night.

(This might inhibit the lab · assistants' Acid manufacture, but Our Product will be LEGAL.) The TELESCOPE will go underground and become a thought thrill and sight treat to all.

The business department can handle the finances. keep the books in order, coordinate orders with mailings, and keep accurate records of all transactions. We can use the ASB offices as our operations headquarters.

The drafting students can design a plane for special delivery orders and engineering and auto students can assemble it. The art students will be responsible for designing mailing envelopes and decorating the plane.

Everyone else on campus can also

help-- the athletes will keep spies and saboteurs off campus: the library frequenters will be our clipping service: the music department will compose psychedellic tunes and play at all campus happenings, love-ins, and general freak-outs. The Life Scientists will experiment with the new drug (using the down-to-earth Scientists as subjects.)

The history department will prognasticase the effect of our discovery on the world; the English students will write informative essays on the subject and the foregin language department will translate the essays for distribution out of the country.

The communications department will be very busy--sending the debate team on speaking engagements, writing-photographing-printing the underground newspaper. The religious clubs will unite under our new religion.

And most important, we'll send the entire poli-sci department to Washington and Sacramento to act as our lobby.

For the contest, of course , the TELESCOPE staff reserves the right to trail test all recipes submitted. I'm going to start on my idea right away. I won't devulge what substances I plan to use. but it' ll be a double-super-groovey pain reliever, guaranteed to make color vibrant, people ultra-perceptive, and make our regular customers living. radiating love-children. I'm going to call it dLexcedrin Acid Dythilaprune-25.

Last lecture on Chardin Frida y The last of three lectures on the late controversial Jesuit pries. Teihard de Chardin, will be presented 7:30 Friday evening. Patrick D. O'Connor, 0. F. lVI. of San Louis Rey College will present ·'de Chardin , the Philosopher."

Father O'Connor says of de Chardin, ··his works are a synthesis of science and religion, and they offer food for thought."

The lecture will be held in P-32 with no admission fee, and will he slide illustrated. The first two presentations, given April 14 and 21, were very successful, according to President Dr. Frederick R. Huber. The first lecture presented de Chardin as "The Man," the second, de Chardin "The Scientist."

The "three-dimensional man" was born in Europe in 1881. He joined the Jesuit order, and held positions as professor of geology at the Catholic Institution in Paris , and director of the National Research Center of France. Because of his advanced ideas and theories on evolution, he was exiled to China. There he was Director of the National Geologic Survey of China. He was also instrumental in discovering the Pekin man.

He died in New York while working under the· auspices of the Wenner-Gren Foundation.

He wrote many books on evolution. all of which have been published posthumously.

Circle K selects club sweethearts Joan Bonds and Candy Maxwell were selected Circle K Sweethearts of the Month for February and March respectively.

Joan, a 3.4 GPA brunette freshman, is a graduate of Vista High. She was born in Arkansas and was raised in Texas. ' 'I was very happy upon hearing that I was voted Circle K Sweetheart of the Month. I think it is one of the nicest compliments any girl can recieve at Palomar, " said Joan when notified of her election.

After two years at Palomar and two years at a still undecided state college she would like very much to be an airline stewardess for American Airlines.

Marriage is her eventual goal '·with three children or more or as many as I can afford. I love children." ''I think Palomar is a very good college . It has a ·vrarvelous faculty and in the past two semester I have made many friends in addition to having a good time,'' said Joan.

All drug users need help; Synanon rehabilitates aidics "Anyone who uses drugs needs help," emphasized Norman Garfinkel Wednesday when speaking to 55 student and faculty on Synanon Foundation, the drug addict's Alcoholics Anonymous. Gar. finkel and fellow Synanon friend Ann Reynolds were invited to speak at Palomar by the Newman Club. The presentation . was made at 11:00 in P-32.

Both speakers briefly outlined for the audience their lives on drugs before opening the discussion to questions.

They spoke little of Synanon programs or specific operations, but emphasized the end product and the goals of Synanon.

Miss Reynolds had used drugs for six years, much of which time has been spent in hospitals and jails. Tired of having no life, no friends, and of doing nothing, she went to Synanon for help, thinking like most new-comers that after the 90 day rehabilitation period that she would leave. A year has passed and she is still with Synanon. trying to help others through her mistakes.

Garfinkel was addicted to heroin for 8 years, and after trying hospitals and psychotherapy, ending up Llevitably in jails, he went to Synanon for assistance.

Synanon, said Garfinkel, has about 720 people "who at one time used drugs, who are learning to grow up w:th a cl.ean, healthy attitude toward life and themselves." -He said that the drug addict is a child and that Synanon helps him to achieve a new perspective of life and himself, and to learn to accept responsibilities .

"We're honest for a change," remarked Miss Reyholds when asked how Synanon changes residents. She indicated that the people who play the "Synanon Game" learn to be honest with themselves and with other, which she feels is important in their adjustment.

Sophomore Candy Maxwell, also a graduate of Vista High is majoring in pschology.

She has been on the Dean's List the last two semesters and is a member of Alpha Gamma Sigma. She also belongs to the Wesley Club. And has had an active interest in Circle K the last three semesters.

Being selected Circle K Sweetheart was a big surprize to her. She agreed very much to Joan's statement of concerning the honor in being selected Sweetheart.

After Palomar, she plans to attend either San Diego State of University of California at Los Angeles and to get married within a year. She is aiming for an MA in psychology.

Synan on changes in its purpose every day, according to Garfinkel. Ten years ago its intent was to clean up the drug addict but today it is a social movement. Slowly the communities are learning to accept Synanon, while Synanon residents are learning to absorb themselves back into the community.

Now there is no barrier between Synanon and the community. Approximately two-thirds of Synanon support is from the community which feeds, clothes , and employes the residents.

The speakers indicated that the usual stay at Synanon is three years although it takes only a couple of weeks to readjust the addict. After the first few weeks he more responsibiltiies and to help ohters.

The drop-out rate is not calculated; if someone stays the first 90 days, he con-

tinues with the program. He usually joins the staff and helps give back what he learned.

Following the discussion, Garfinkel revealed to the TELESCOPE that he felt although Marijuana is a stepping stone to more powerful drugs, it is not always so.

He said he did not start with Marijuana--his first contact with drugs was heroin.

"Do you khow," he inquired, "what was the first question I asked? I wanted to know if I would die."

Relating to wide-spread use of marijuana among the college-age generation to the statement that all drug users need help, the TELESCOPE wanted to hear Garfinkel's opinion whether he felt that this new society was "sick" as a whole--that it needed help.

"They're curious," he remarked. He agreed that many were merely experimenting with drugs potentials and that this experimentation often ends with marijuana and similar less-harmful drugs .

Did he feels, then, that too much emphasis was placed on the stepping-stone philosophy and too little explanation given to the ideas that drug addiction was not inevitable.? ''No,'' he answered, he did not feel it was that way. That type of publicity and information is "too dangerous."

Before the discussion, the Synanon representatives passed out literature on their organization--reprints from LOOK, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, AND HUMANIST. All three publications explained Synanon as a successful answer to helping addicts.

Dederick started his movement in an old beach house in Santa Monica and ''offered not therapy and theories but close attention to living," says LOOK, Several Synanon houses followed Santa Monica San Diego, San Francisco, Marshall and New York.

Dederick views Synanon as a utopian movement. Its social impact is already evident in the friends of Synanon who wmploy the resident, by people who have had nothing to do with drugs helping the organization, and by college students taking courses in it.

That Synanon is so successful is interresting to Dederich. ''Straightening out people whose head is screwed on sideways," he commented, "is only a side effect.''

However, the Synanon Philosophy says more about the movement's goals than anyone can. It ends with, "God helps those who help themselves."
