Homecoming. queen chosen Tension and excitement of Homecoming Week came to a climax when Samantha Dalzell was announced as this year's queen. Coronation took place during half time ceremonies last Saturday when the Comets hosted MiraCosta's Spartans. The homecoming court was announced and then driven around the field in shiny, new sports cars. When the courtarrived back at the stands, Jim Strong gave a short biography of each candidate as she mounted the platform. One by one princesses Nancy Palmer, Patti Russo, Nancylee Saffiote and Marylou Trevison were named. Miss DalzP.ll was then revealed as Homecoming Queen, presented with a bouquet of roses and a sparkling crown from Sandy Woods, 1966 queen, and a congratulatory kiss from student body president Jon Mitchell. Miss Dalzell then mounted her throne where she and the four princesses remained during the second half of the game. Even though Palomar lost to MiraCosta, 16-15, the spirit at the Homecoming Dance was fairly high. "The "Horseless Carriage" played in the student union unti 1 a.m. to a crowd of semi-formally dressed students. The Homecoming committee decorated the room with psychedlic posters behind the band to promote this year's theme, "Insight Out." Huge flowers painted on the windows added to the decor. Co-
okies and punch were served by Gamma Sigma Chi, the girls' service club. Other highlights for the week included bonfire and bonfire dance held last Friday. Few students showed for the bonfire sponsored jointly by Circle·K and Pep Clubs. The lack of interest in the bonfire can probably be attributed to many reasons, the main one being that about the same time the fire was set off approximately ll,OOOpeoplewere heading toward Escondido High School's Memorial Field to watch the intown rivalry between Escondido and Orange Glen High Schools. This particular game was one that North County residents have been waiting for for quite a while. Another reasons for lack of enthusiasm in Friday's pep rally could be that not enough publicity could be given the event becuase only tentative permission for the bonfire was given until Thursday. Fire permits were not issued because of the large county fires which destroyed thousands of acres only days befo re. A third deterrant to the rally was that the woodpile originally gathered in the beginning of the week was burned twice on Wednesday. According to Ron Simecka, pep club co-chairman, someone set the s tockpile on fire sometime Wednesday afternoon.
"The janitors put out the fire," Simecka said. "The pile was again set on fire Wednesday night and the fire department had to put it out." Circle K and Pep club members hurriedly gathered enough wood to build a second pile in time for Friday. It is belived that Mi raCosta students are responsible for Wednesday's fires in retaliation of a similar stunt that Palomar students pulled on Mi raCosta at their homecoming last year. A few Palomar students again took a trip to MiraCosta this year and burned the letters "PJC" onto their football practice field. As a consequence of the tentativeness of the fire and because of the intense interest in the outcome of the EscondidoOrange Glen game, only about 75 people showed up for the bonfi re. Glen Hayashi, pep club co-chairman, introduced Coaches Mack Wiebe, Tony Lynds, Jim Clayton, and Doc Marrin. Simecka began the fire while the cheerleaders led a few cheers. Since the flames lasted for only about 45 minutes, there seemed to be a long lapse of time between the rallyand the bonfire dance, which began at 8 p.m. For the first hour "Marsha and the Esquires" played fo r the ver y few couples present. It wasn't until after 10 p.m. that a good size crowd arrived --Cece Lodicio

Narcotics Committee continues discussion; first organizational meeting last week The Narcotics Committee meets tomorrow at 11 a.m. in the conference room to continue discussion started last week. "This is not the dope committee," quipped Frederick R. Huber, Palomar president , in his opening remarks to the organizational meeting of the committee Wednesday. Continuing his explanation of the purpose of the committee more seriously, Dr. Huber said "the purpose of the student-faculty- adm inistration committee is to explain the subject of narcotics. including hallunc inatory drugs, with knowledge and background information provided by people in the field." The psychologicial and e motional e ffect s of narcotics and drugs would be presented through the lectures and seminars. T he committee will conduc t a study lastin,g approximately one year and will look at narcotics and its possible effects on the North County and junior college s tudents. Seminars and speake r programs are primary ways of gathering information. When the program is organized parents a nd the public are to be included in the programs. Possible s peakers are psychiatrists, physicians and othe r experts in fields related to narcotics s tudy. Dr. Huber s tated that he is "not aware of a particular proble m on this campus." He said he is interested in the topic about which he fe el s we have very little information. "It is topic that requires further study and exploration, knowledge a nd background." "The basic purpose will be to explore the problem as it relates to the
college and community and make every effect to make the large r group (the students, faculty and community) aware of the effects ." Dr. Huber also said a publication could come out of the study. He futher commented we should have "an informed college community and hopefully an informed citizenry." A suggestion for open meetings was explained by Dr. Huber. He suggested that P-32 be utili zed and the student body be invited to sit in and possibly question from the floor. The committee would hold the seminar and ask a set of prepare d ques tions corresponding to the topic. Further suggestions were to tape the speaker, only if he concured, for later s tudy by the committee. It is possible that the committee would offer comment after the seminars. The group agreed to form a committee on com mittees to decide what is needed. The next steps would be meetings to decide on a r esear c h and program schedule. Bob McKelvey, stude nt, is the c hai rman. Members are Bob Thoreson; Sandy Eagleston; Hal Cheyney, zoology instructor; and Mrs. Mary Fulton, director of nurs ing education. Four subcommittees were formed on the areas of: Programs Committee, Speaker Commiti.ee, Publications Committee and the Position Committee. The meeting was calle d by Dr. Hube r and ASB president Jon Mitchell in the conference room of the administration wing. First reference made to the committee idea was during Dr. Huber's Sept. Convocation speech. The s tude nt council approved and gave active support to it last month.

A ten year master plan for future development and an itemized priority plan were submitted to the State Board of Education by the Palomar Board of Governors last week in compliance with Senate bill 691. The Senate bill specifies that junior colleges must file a plan outlining growth and future needs by Nov. The filing of the plan was made mandatory to qualify for matching construction funds. Dr . Frederick R. Huber, Palomar president, said the plan approxmately follows the details of the original Palomar master plan as to projects considered essential. He pointed out that the college district again would have to be called on to finance its share of the cost. A $12.5 million bond issue was defeated in an election last February.

Palomar could receive an entitlement to continue construction on the master plan and have money to alleviate budget problems caused by the e nrollment surge. The study is for evaluation of the Junior College Construc tion Act of 1967. The plan is to be reviewed and extended annually, and will form the basis for state finanical assistance for construction of facilities on all state junior college campuses. Dr. John C. Schettler, ASB financial advisor stated, "The state determines your entitlement, and once the entitlement is established the state will match funds of the district." The Board may levy a tax without a vote of the people in order to raise

Also in that bill , by 1967-71 is the period that we can levy tax, without the vote of the people, for operational expenses . Dr. Huber stated, "we all have to do something to get funds because the enrollment will most likely reach 3000 by next year and we will need buildings and very quickly." Cons truction projects included in the study are: Addition to life sciences building, by 1968, $265,000; physical education department swimming facility with classroom, pool and lockers, by 1969, estimated cost $400,000; business education building with seven classrooms and 19 labs, including data processing, for 1970, $1, 837,000.

Free transportatic'n goes l)eggi11g while traffic clogs 11arrjng lot Although enrollme nt at Palomar is the highes t in its history, the three college buses that transport students without charge to and from nearby communities, unlike most of the school's fac ilities , are ope rating at less than 50 per cent capacity. Charles 0. Crafts, superintendent of buildings, in charge of operation and maintenance of the vehicles, last week said any one of the buses abn()s t could handle all the students who utili ze the three . Crafts said two of the buses recently purchased are diesels and cost approximately $30,000 each. T hey have a capacity of 62 to 64 students each. The third is gasoline-powered and can take 57. Drive rs are Palomar students who get $1. 50 pe r hour. Othe r costs inc lude operation, maintenance - - much of which is done at the college shops except for the majo r repair contracted out, and payments on the costs of purc hase . Unlike most school bus expenses, which are subsidized by s tate funds, Palomar has to take car e of entire costs of the service here out of the school budget. Operating on three general routes--to the· coast, to Escondido and Poway areas,
and to Falbrook, Rainbow and Vista-each bus travels appoximately 1,000 miles each month. They arr ive at Palomar at approximately 7:40 a.m. and depart at 4 p.m. The coast route begins at El Camino Real and 4th Street in Del Mar at 6:30 a.m. and then, in order, ma..lces stops in Rancho Sante Fe, Solana Beach, Cardiff, Encinitas and Olivenhain. T he Poway run star ts at Angola and Twin Peaks Roads in the Poway area at 6:25 a.m .. thenpast Rancho Berriardo and into Escondido. The Fallbrook vehicle ' begins each morning in the Rainbow area with a pickup at Rainbow Valley Blvd. and 8th Street at 6:30 and proceeds to Fallbrook and to Vis ta. Exact routes and times may be obtained from schedules at many student activities areas. Commenting on the schedules, however, Crafts pointed out that individuals may be able to work out other pickup points with drivers to furnish an even more convenient ser vice. Since the lack of utili zation of bus facilities obviously is a cont ributing factor to traffic problems, officials urge all students to investigate possibilities for traveling by bus whenever schedules permit.
