Byer was on campus last fall for a similar series geared to the humanities lecture topic, the NEW STUDENT. He outlined what he considered the spiritual issues underlying much of the revolt among students in our day.

All students are cordially invited to attend. The lectures will be primarily informational and comments and questions will be welcomed.

The Palomar College speech squad outscored 57 other junior colleges from all across the nation to win the third place in the National Junior College Speech Tournament held in Modesto, California.

Palomar's speech competitors and their coach Ray Dahlin returned to the North County early Sunday morning still not knowing what the final outcome was in · the National Sweepstakes (team standings). Only shortly before 12 a.m. yesterday did a telephone contact reach coach Dahlin's office with a definite statement of the ultimate standings.

While Palomar placed third in the Sweepstakes, Riverside College took the second place and Cerritos Junior College won the National Championship.

An accomplishment especially meaningful to the team that is not recorded in the scorebook is the fact that the team raised their sweepstakes standing ten places over last year's ranking of 13th. In comparing this year's performance with that of 19.65, Dahlin said, "The outstanding thing about it is that

we defeated the same team this year-Miami-Dade College--that won the nationals last year". Miami Dade is a college of more than 20,000 students.

The team effort is aptly reflected in the individual accomplishments of the Palomar orators. In expository speaking Palomar had two national champions, Ed Fisher in the men's category, Mitties McDonald in the women's.

Fisher alson took ratings of excellent in expository speaking, oral interpretation, and persuasive speaking. Miss McDonald captured the second place championship in women's oral interpretation, in which she earned a superior rating and won excellent ratings in expository speaking and persuasive speaking.

Nikki Kester reached the semi -finals in oral interpretation, winning a superior, and placed fourth over-all in extemporaneous speaking with an excellent.

Partenered with Miss McDonald, Miss Kester was half of the debate team that won third place.

Council condemns Johnston action; ~~not personal" says representative The ASB council last Wednesday passed a resolution disassociating the council from the actions ot A:::ijj president Ed Johnston. It was the first such resolution in Palomar student government history and marked Johnston as perhaps the ASB' s most controversial president ever.

Initiated by Representative-at-Large

Concert choir presents show The spring concert of the Palomar College Concert Choir will be augmented by a 33 piece symphony orchestra. The performance will be begun at 7:30 in the drama lab May 14.

The concert will be Ode to the Virginian Voyage. The presentation is a festival oratorio written especially for the 35th anniversary celebration of Virginia. This is Palomar's major musical production of the year.

The choir will be accompanied by a symphony orchestra, made up of students musicians from the area schools and 12 professional musicians coming from San Diego for the performance.

Also included in the program will be other numbers by the concert choir and the Chamber Singers.

Seating for performance is limited to 300 and early reservations are suggested. Admission is $1 for students and .military personnel and $1.25 for adults.

Mike Gunderson and Vice President Jim Strong, the resolution was similar to the one published in last week's Telescope. It passed by a 5-3 vote, with three abstentions.

"It was a very courageous act on the council's part." said Gunderson. "It was by no means a personal attack. We simply didn't agree with his policies."

Johnston appeared not to be overly concerned with the resloution. "I think it's important to remember that only five council members, a minority, voted for it," he commented.

In other action the council Appointed Rosalie Atilano Sargeantat-Arms.

Approved Johnston's appointment of Don Inglehart as Representative-atLarge.

Reimbursed Johnston four dollars from the Focus magazine budget for photographs he took for the publication.

Approved an amendment reqmrmg henceforth that the Freshman Class president be responsible for having the "P" limed.

The president would be referred to a judicial board for failure to do so within two months.

The Council also resolved to appoint committees in charge of planning next fall's orientation day and investigating the possibility of having photographs on student identification cards.

I surrender Editor, THE TELESCOPE: My sympathies go to the editor of THE TELESCOPE. After reading the May 2, 1967, edition, it is apparent the editor lacks a reportorial staff that can be depended on to ferret out news material that is both factual and objective.

How fortunate it was President Johnston's poll to loom on the horizon.

This provided filler for 1/ 4 of the front page, over half of the second page and half of the back page. Anyone reading the printed matter and studying the photos would be at a loss to know what the reali issues were.

The editorial is on a petty scale that might cause the uninformed to wonder if it was generated from failure to be dated to the prom by the student body president or some equally personal peak. The uninformed nature of the editorial is in keeping with the quality of the news and feature stories concerning the affair.

A realist of times past remarked, "If you can't refute someone's viewpoint by honest logic or facts then resort to ridicule." The coverage that your writers have given to President Johnston's stand on the Poll is evidence that this axiom has been given care1u1 attention.

It would seem that at the college level an article dealing with a matter, subject to factual analysis, would be treated as such instead of by ridicule, infectives, and complete avoidance of all facts relative to the issues involved.

Did it ever occur to you, the editor, to assign one of your capable reporters (do you have one?) to finding the facts relating to book prices. At what prices can similar or identical books be purchased at ordinary book stores and other campus book stores. For instance, one book that PJC bookstore sells can be purchased at a regular retailers store for one dollar less. A student can save more at · San Diego State and UC. These instances can be multiplied by innumerous cases . Multiply these overcharges by thousands of book purchased by PJC students------Here is a rich field for one of your staff reporters to dig into.

Regarding ASB Cards, who should have the right to determine the cost?

Your student body president seems to have the naive opinion that since the students pay for these cards and since in theory the student body funds are to be expended for the welfare and benefit of the students the whole body of the student commun-ity should have a voice in determining the price of the ASB cards.

This view may have been generated in part by his considering along with many other students the expenditure of eleven hundred dollars from ASB card sales for a pair of statues to grace the Art Center. Is the Establishment in need of more statuary and, hence, the request for additional monies from ASB cards. If not, what for. Let's have one

The T ELESCO P E as a

of your reporters interview Dr. Huberon this point. Certainly, the type of Journalism that is represented by this coverage, L'afaire "Poll" could not be calculated to give your fellow students an understanding of, and hence, a confidence in the forces that make Palomar's wheels turn the way they do.

In fact, might such lack of knowledge and interest in campus affairs give rise to the recent "Black Tuesday."

(Feb. 28th) Certainly, bonds are not going to be voted a community whose students are not better served by the establishment and the campus paper that is supported by student funds. It is the papers duty to give honest and full information. Doesn't the returns of Mr. Johnston's Poll indicate that maybe everyone at PJC does not see things through your eyes, and some may wonder who coached the staff to give such slanted coverage.

If the characterization of the Palomar students (back page) is fact.ual and these are our future leaders, all I can say at this time is, where do I go to surrender ?

Thank you for allowing me to make my observations.

Maria Nobles Madam, Thank you for analyzing the latest issue of THE TELESCOPE. However naive the staff may appear, we -did feel that one-fourth of our front page was adequate space for an attack on our ASB President. Considering that the Council was even against their "leader," it seems fitting that this aspect should have been revealed. It also seems appropriate to allow our ASB Financial Manager the opportunity of expressing his views on the President's Poll.

Our reasons for this coverage were many. The amount of coverage, as pointed out in your article, was perhaps inadequate. We could have devoted an entire issue to pointing out the stupidity of the issues.

My primary concern was showing the students that the President is unaware of what he is doing, and unaware of the consequences of such measures were they effected.

By cutting the prices of ASB Books, he would be cutting the ASB Bookstore income 50 percent. The profits from the bookstore are only 20 percent. This would eliminate a great deal of monies to which the students are entitled.

The staff has tried to reason with the President. It has even spared him previous attacks in the paper. However, this latest incident was more than we could overlook.

That even you point out that books are sold for less at other bookstores indicates that this knowledge is widespread among the students here. However what occurs at other institutions is not relevant to Palomar. This college has its own problems and own finances which it must meet in its own way.

In your letter you seem to attack the newspaper as equally as you attack our ASB President. You also use sarcasm in

your letter as I used in my article.

Are you not quite sure of where you stand in your allegiance?

The "petty" editorial which I wrote was the result of being completely disillusioned with the ASB President--not the result of not being invited to the prom--which does not exist at Palomar.

A personal reaction, yes, for I was his campaign manager during his election. I feel I have a right to criticism after all the work I exerted getting him into office. I anticipated a resPonsible President.

Penny Hill .

Copy Editor

Enjoy Dear Editor, I read over fully your last edition of "Telescope" and found it most unfavorable to me. I must say that the excitement would tend to indicate that student gov't is doing something worthwhile, though.

It, was your most exciting edition this year; I loved it.

But everyone seems to be attacking me on the grounds that are, at best, somewhat less than objective. Much of it was pure humorous fiction , which is OK with me , I can laugh at m yself, but I think we ought to stop laughing at the desires and needs of the students. Many "quotes" we re inaccurate or fabricated , and ce rtainly one-sided. In the spirit of good journalism. I am sure you will grant me an opportunity to do the same while refuting the charges made against me . I'm not worried about the guest commentary or the editorial by Miss Hill--that was great stuff, and it is good to s e e one of those genuine Hill editorials again.

I am worried about the letter from Mr. Mc Afee, however.

I have not gotten the cooperation and plain good will required until recently, anrl I am not quite the field described, thouP:h I keep trying. He is being fair with me, but he is putting too much emphas is on the Appelt Report, which doe s not exist. Mr. Appelt got about hal£ through with his investigation, before getting fed up and saying, "To Hell with the whole mess!"

Dr. Schettler has recently cracked down on ~orne bookstore operations, and I thank him sincerely; however the real responsibqity to do this lies with the Council.

Unfortunately, our Council is a little tim id . A big move by the Council would be nPw to Palomar College , so naturally they are careful. The Council wants as peaceful and quick a solution as possiblP, Respect and cooperation from both war ring camps could do this. I suggest tha t all concerned follow me in the American tradition of 'conciliation thro•<uh compromise.

Yours truly, Edward Johnston ASB President Published by the Associated Students of l 744-1150 Editor .•.•.•........

Reoolution ethics

confidence

Dear Editor, On Tuesday, May 2, THE TELESCOPE published an ASB Resolution. You neglected to mention that the printed Resolution was not yet passed by the Student Council.

Some of the Student Council members have called the President's Poll unethical. Was their action, printing an official Resolution without consulting the other Student Council members or the President, any more ethical?

To the Editor: Not only is Mr. Atkinson a photogral n.er of renown, but an experienced political satirist. We must remember that, although Tony is a bright young lad, he has never had a leadership course in his life, a fact he should admit to.

Our critic's opinion Ofa-council meeting compared to a circus is an opinion sadly taken. Although the council may disagree with items of policy, we all agree that Mr. Johnston runs an orderly meeting.

Mr. Atkinson's critic of Mr. Johnston uses language that requires the mouth partially covered with the back of the hand.

This sort of speech should be wisely used in parking lots, sewers, <>nd off-campus lavatories, and not of a man that had enough character to be elected the A.S.B. 's highest post. As the saying goes, "If you can do it better, write a letter." If Mr. Atkinson is here for yet another semester, let him run for president and let him do his own posing.

I would like to also comment on the A.S.B. "vote of confidence.'' As a member of the student council, I must explain a representative opinion on the current actions of the council and its relation to the president, Mr. Edward Johnson. The voting on the President's Poll was as the voting council saw it was necessary. The actions were objective as the representative vote showed. The five affirmative votes, three negative, and three abstentions show the feelings of the school.

Roughly five out of eleven students are in favor of the vote. The three negative votes show agreement with Mr. Johnson, and the remaining three show the opinion of apathy, that of no opinion at all. The members of the council took an oath when elected to truly represent the students of Palomar College. It is evident by the current vote that they have truly done as they swore.

Now something must be said about Mr. Johnson. One vote showing a lack of support is not the end of the world.

His now bitter attitude toward the council is not necessary.

A narrow minded point of view by a president is not in the best tradition of Palomar politics and is detrimental to the outlook of the entire student body.

news s1 optnion s1 Dear Editor, I'd just like to say that I dicln't enjoy your last edition_ of THE TELESCOPE. It seemed to be an issue mainly meant to put down President, Ed Johnston.

If you don't have anything better to put in THE TELESCOPE, why spend ASB money printing one? Do you call the last issue objective reporting?

Viki Jones ASB Secretary.

Dear Miss Jones, We call the news coverage of the last TELESCOPE objective. The onlyopinion not confined to the editorial page is Dr. Schettler's letter to the ASB Council which is clearly labeled as administrative opinion, not news reporting.

Page two of the last issues was totally devoted to criticism and opinion. ·An · editorial, or a letter to the editor is the writer's signed opinion and is not an objective report of any kind. It is subjective because it is opinion.

It is the duty of a newspaper to comment on the community, on which it reports.

This opinion is lab led opinion and placed on the editorial page where it belongs.

And we do not expect everyone to agree with our opinion, however, our news. reporting is not editorial~zed.

Joan Kattelmann News Editor.

Mesa College did not break tradition Saturday afternoon when they continued to rule as king-pins of the Pacific Southwest Conference track world with a rousing victory in the PSC Track and Field Finals held in Balboa Stadium.

The Olympians amassed a total of 164 points to their nearest rivals, Grossmont College's 103 digits.

San Diego City College followed with 80, Palomar placed fourth with 74, Imperial Valley was next with 35 and Southwestern brought up the rear with 30 points. Mira Costa College did not compete.

Eight of 17 meet records fell by the wayside with Palomar's Jim Adkins and Rick Fox garnering two of the eight meet markers. Adkins set his standard with a blazing 4:14.4 mile run and Fox followed his teammate to a 9.19 . 1 twomile victory record.

Adkins doubled his mile win with a triumph in the 880, while Fox and Randy Hartman finished second and ·f..:l,n·i.h behind Adkins in the sophomore's record-breaking mile performance .

Other new PSC standards were s e~: l.Jy Carl Grieser of Mesa in the pole vault ( 15-1) and Mesa in both the 440 relay (:42.1) and mile relay (3:17.5).

Ron Jesse of IVC clipped four--tenths of a second off the old record with a :14.5 time in the high hurdles while he also cracked the long jum? mn.r:..: with a 242 1/2 leap. Wesly Williams of Mesa accounted for the other record-brea\ cr when H <' s:1attereJ. the :,1tarmedi.ate hurdles Nt .:_ ·1 :37.6 peeformance.
