Enlarged cheerleading squad chosen for 1967-68; new board system approves all eight candidates All eight students who tried out for cheerleading received board approval last week. ''We have always had five or six cheerleaders in the past," said Robert E. Bowman, Dean of Student Activities. "There is no cheerleaders' code available and there is nothing in the constitution as to the number permitted. All were acceptable to the board and it is more advantageous to have eight cheerleaders. It was felt that none of them would misrepresent the school." Dean Bowman added that "since there are so many games during basketball season, the cheerleaders could take turns attending those events." They are Suzy Schmidt, Cheri Chambless, Linda Anderson, Dawna Crum, Anne Sweeny, Pat Lund, Nancy Palmer, and Glenn Hayashi.

"We tried to encourage as many students as we could to sign up by spreading the word around during the summer. Those who signed up went to Camp Cuyamaca for a cheerleaders' clinic along with the leadership conference. At the clinic, they practiced cheers in preparation for last Saturday night's game where they performed before the student body for the first time,'' said Dean Bowman. The student council appointed the board members who chose the cheerleaders. All four student board members had also gone to Camp Cuyamaca and watched the cheerleaders working there. Board members were Jos bph W. Brennan, basketball coach; Mildred L. Ayers, women's physical education teacher; Billie L. Hutchings, women's physical education teacher and dance instructor; Donna M. Reiser, counselor and women's physi-

cal education teacher; Jim Strong, judicial committee chairman; Bill Mason, s o ph om ore vi c e-p r e s i dent; Sandy Phelps, awards committee chairman; and Pat Russo, social committee chairman and AWS vice-president. According to Dean Bowman, ''the cheerleaders do not have a faculty advisor as yet. There is no administrative policy for this. The advisor is usually someone from the women's physical education department; however, this year all the teachers in that department are already overloaded with classes. The head cheerleader is chosen by the group. " He added that ''the cheerleaders are paying for part of their own uniforms. The school will pay for the sweaters and therefore be able to stay within the budget.

Eight student body offices open; ASB elections set for October 6 Eight student body offices are vacant pending the fall elections on October 6. Students filing for office in the election must sign up in the Student Activities Office no later than September 28. "'They must also attend at least two council meetings prior to elections," said Robert Bowman, Dean of Student Activities. Council meetings are held each Monday at 11 a.m. in R-3. "Each candidate must have 2.5 overall grade point average from high school or a 2.5 grade point average from his previous semester in college with no less than 12 units," remarked Dean Bowman. "'Th<:lre are five openings for representatives at large. There is no longer any distinction between a freshman and a sophomore representative as there was in previous years. The representatives can be all freshman or all sophomores or any combination thereof." The office of freshman president is also open. "Whoever gains this position is entitled to choose any officers he sees fit to assist him," said Jim Strong, judicial committee chairman. Other positions to be filled are Associated Men Students vice-president and AMS secretary-treasurer. AMS president is Mike Gunderson. "September 29 has tentatively been set for a campaign assembly at the 11 o'clock coffee hour in the student union,"

ASB councU members rrorganize elections; discuss Area I government conference The ASB council passed a motion yesterday reorganizing the October 6 election and discussed preliminary plans for the upcoming Area I student government conference.

The polls will be located on the quad in front of the student union, the administration-art complex, and the Auto technology areas . Ballots will be freely distributed to all students. ASB cards must be presented and punched when ballots are returned to one of the three polling areas. Rita Schmidt, rep res en tat i ve-a tlarge , was named chairman of the Elections Committee.

"These recommendations will probably come up and be voted upon at the next student council meeting," said Strong. Dean Bowman said that "'there is usually about a 15-20 per cent voter turnout. The reason is the same as in the local, state and federal elections. It is not due to a lack of publicity. And Palomar is no different from any other college. People just don't assume responsiblity. They don't realize that they are being affected on matters which relate to them either directly or indirectly. One problem we've had is getting election assemblies here."

''It seems to me the generation gap is a concept which has no basis in fact. It's greatest use is an excuse for not thinking." said Dr. Frederick Huber Friday in the annual convocation assembly, which marked Palomar's 21st year. Addressing the student body, Dr. Huber asked if the interests of people over 30 and people under 30 are so different, do they have difficulty in com~unicating-­ "Is there a generation gap?" Dr. Huber's opinion is "no" and he related several aspects to support his conclusion. A poll was taken at three colleges. "A" college was upper class, "B" college was middle class, and "C" college was a public institution where the students came from a metropolitan area. Students discussed such things as the Supreme Court's decision on civil rights, Viet Nam, and use of alcohol, cigarettes and narcotics. Results? There wa~ a marked difference between student groups on some areas, but generally, stressed Dr. Huber, the students reflected their parents' attitudes. It was found that no only students from college "A" and college "C" would have difficulty getting along, but also that students were more likely to find greater understanding with parents and faculty on current issues than with other students. Dr. Huber's profile of the student in the generation gap included these three elements: (1) the student is in search of worthy commitments (he wants to come photo by George Anderson

said Dean Bowman. "All candidates will be introduced to the student body at this time." At the recent leadership conference at Camp Cuyamaca, the Inter-Club Council recommended that three· polling places for elections be erected on campus instead of the usual one to eliminate long waiting lines. It was recommended that the polling places be located in the center of the Student Union, on the patio and in the art complex near administration offices. It was also recommended that ballots be distributed all over campus and submitted at the student's leisure. ASB cards would be punched to limit each student to one vote.

to grips with something, not to obtain it by osmosis); (2) He wants to be taken seriously ("If we are going to take you seriously, we should meet with you," stated Dr. Huber); and ( 3) He wants to find new and creative media of expression. Introducing another phase of the generation gap, Dr. Huber stated thattoday's public doesn't understand theuniversity--they think of it as a place where the student is only taught, where there is no dialogue or argument. In other wor ds , the public does not understand what is taking place at the university. Said Dr. Huber: "We must decide that the institution is the last hope to find the ends that justify the means. It's a tragedy when scholars define education as earning power or increased taxes. "Students come to school and tune-in, turn-on, and then, drop-out--of school. The faculty must provide you with an opportunity to meet your educational commitments.'' As a word of caution, Dr. Huber gave this advice to the student seeking his commitment to education: "There is no shortcut to intellectual capacity. We, as faculty, want to help you, so together we can achieve your goal. ''This institution believes in education. We've brought to this campus an outstanding faculty. They're here, all you have to do is reach out--it's there for you."

the judicial board and the representatives-at-large constitute the body of the committee. The Area I s tudent government conference will be held October 14 at Mesa College in San Diego. ''Palomar needs 25-30 delegates," said Robert Bowman, Dean of Student Activities. The student council and people who participated in the Cuyamaca Leadership Conference will make up a part of the delegation. Students interested in going should contact Dean Bowman in the student activit ies office. A pep club was initiated at last week's meeting and yesterday Glen Hayashi was appointed chairman. The club will work with the publicity and athletic committees to boost active participation and game attendance.
