Bomb threat clears campus The call came in at 10:47 a.m.:
''I wanted you to know that two bombs have been placed strategically in your area," said a female's voice , and the line went dead. So began yesterday the first bomb scare in Palomar College's history. It ended four hours later after 35 men from the County Sheriff's Department and San Marcos F ire Department finished a systematic search of the campus . There were no bombs: the call was a hoax. In the meantime all afternoon classes had been cancelled and the campus had been evacuated. President Frederick Huber gave the
a hoax Shortly thereafte r outside the main e ntrance to the school , which with other e ntr ances , had been barr acaded, Dean of Humanities Howar d Brubeck was serving as a one- man P ublic Infor mation Service, answering questions . One elde r ly man had heard about the situation and was looking for his daughter. Most of the r est, unaware of what was happening, had arr ived for c lasses . "The students and faculty handled themselves in an exemplar y fashion," said Dr . Huber. "If nothing else, this gave us an indication of how we could meet the situation in a real e me r genc y. ''
order to evacuate s hor tly after 11, and word r eached t he Student Union Building, wher e s tudents we r e settling down to lunch, at 11: 10. In the Student Acttivities Office, the ASB Council meeting was getting unde r way and in St. Louis the Cards were at bat in the first. The campus was virtually deserted, except for parking lot congestion, by 11:20.
The scene inside the building was r eminiscent of the ruins of P ompeii. T able s were s trewn with half- eaten and untouched lunches. Near a cash register in the seving kitchen was an abandoned tray of food with change lying on it .
