Board opposes single district plan; CSDS to have idea by Sept. 15 The Board of Governors passed a resolution "strongly opposing the formation of a single junior college district either in the North County or in San Diego as a whole." The resolution reiterated their stand made to county Committee on School District Organization. The Committee has a September 15 deadline to submit a plan to the state for bringing four now undistricted schools into a junior college district plan. The state Board of Education will draw a proposition if the committee fails to so do. The county committee meets tomorrow night. Previously it was stated that one large North County district might be possible and acceptable. The suggestion was made with reservations. Dr. Frederick R. Huber, Palomar President,proposed an in-depth study of all aspects with regard to one district at the committee's March 29 meeting. Both Mira-

Costa and Palomar said they were not in favor of one large district at the March session. Earlier this month Dr. Huber said the college would recommend a six-month delay before a decision was arrived at for redistricting. San Deiguito Citizens Committee sugested that a district made up of the Mira Costa and San Dieguito Union High School District. The MiraCosta plan proposed the establishment of an interdistrict permit policy with Palomar and other JC' s which would allow students to take courses not offered at MiraCosta. The State Department of Education has recommened formation of one JC district including Palomar and MiraCosta and the four undistricted areas, San Deiguito, Ramona, Julian and Borrego Springs. Some student from these areas are now attending Palomar.

fall semester of 1968, and then only after a vote of the students is taken by the council to determine the desireability of such a move. Yes or no". Johnston feels the results demonstrate that, "I'm not out on a limb by myself, many people feel this way," He proclaimed, "This is a clear mandate to the student council." Student council members accuse that the poll was deliberately styled as a vote and denounce the questions as misleading and informationally incomplete. The controversy has been further fed by reports San Diego UNION referring to the event as an "Election." SEE PAGE FOUR FOR ASB RESOLUTION.

To the Editor of the TELESCOPE: This is a copy of a letter from me to each member of the Student Council of the Associated Students delivered today, May 1, 1967: The results of the student poll of April 28 require that the Student Council consider an answer to the question: Is not the proposed policy of selling textbooks at the ASB Bookstore to be considered a policy not compatible with free enterprise? The Associated Student Body as an organization receives much assistance from the governmental body, the Junior College District. If then, the ASB uses this governmental assistance to support policies which enable its store to sell at prices lower than those of a private bookstore (operating under the principles of private enterprise), then the ASB is using such assistance to create an advantageous position which the privately owned store cannot secure . Such p r ocedures have been successful in socialist societies. 1 expect to receive protests from owners of bookstores and need the answer as considered by the Student Council. If the Council decides to follow the policy mentioned in the poll, it should immediately institute considerations of which of its activities must be eliminated to conform to the reduced income of the association. If the decision extends to the elimination of the student newspaper, the inter- college speech program, or the inter- college athletics program, several important changes in contracts must be made very soon. Many of the student activity programs are integral , and cannot merely be reduced in scope but must be maintained at a certain level or eliminated. As the financial adviser to the ASB, I shall participate by offering advice on the orderly reduction in scope of ASB activities. Inasmuch as the budget making period is upon us these decis ions cannot be delayed. Sincerely yours, John D. Schettler Financial Adviser

Johnston explains at news conference In an attempt to clarify the issues brought up in the President's Opinion Poll, ASB President Ed Johnston called a special news conference Wednesday in F-22. About 20 students, faculty, and classified personnel attended . Johnston presented his views, giving the reasons why he felt the three questions should win student approval: lowering the prices of ASB books, maintaining the price of the ASB card, and installing food and drink machines in the fine arts complex. His debate opponent, Joe Wu, presented facts and figures to show the irrelevance of the opinion poll. The audience then asked questions about Johnston's proposals. Most of the questions were arguments to the proposals.
