The need for a district tax override to provide essential funds for Palomar College operations in 19 68- 69 and the ye ars following was reported to the governing board Tuesday night, November 27. by Dr. Frederick R. Hube r, Palomar pres ide nt. He c ited prospective deficits next year totaling $686,6000 if the college faculty, equipment and facilities are to be maintained at a level r e quired for the incre asing e nrollme nt. "It is apparent to your faculty and adminis tration that Palomar College will nee d additional funds for operation of the college for 19 68-69 and following years," Dr. Huber said. "These additional funds would also be needed to purchase equipment. Further, funds al s o will be nee ded for capital construction in orde r to match fu nds from the s tate fo ll owing approval of the projects that have been s ubmitted ." He pointed out that the 19 67-68 budget for replacement of e quipment "was seve r e ly reduced to make this year's budget bal ance and now we are faced with the need for replacements in the business and scie nce laboratories or we shall have to c lose down ce rtain student s tations . "

In September, the opening enrollme nt jumpe d an unexpected 20 percent, to 2,6 15, compared to average annual inc r eases of about 10pe r centin preceeding years . Dr. Hube r pointed out tha t the
m as ter plan had es timated 2.80 0 stude nts, the plant capacity. by 1968 and that " now. on the basis of current e nrollme nt. the projected e nrollment ind icates the 19 68 figure will be closer to 3,000. " Huber also pointe d out that "if a single college district is approved in the North County it means that the ope rational funds needs of Palomar College will not decrease. "
ELECTION IN JUNE Dr. Huber s ugges ted a tax ove rride of 22 .1 cents per $100 valuation and that a di s trict e lection be called for ea rly sp ring. probably in March. The board of governors di scussed the needs at length and file d the report for furthe r study. Detailed financial projections , both on inc ome, expenses, and next year's anticipated faculty additions, were s ubmitted by the administration . Fifteen new faculty me mbers at an average salary of $10,5 00 and four new c lassified e mployees will be nee ded, and t he projec ted undis tributed r eserve would drop to a level not considered desirable for "safe ope ration." The ite ms making up the prospec tive d eficit for 1968- 69 we r e listed as: undi s tributed r eserve, $3 00,0 0: poss ible r eduction in federal income, $190.200; emplo yme nt of 15 ne w teachers, $157, 500: other costs related to that emp loyme nt, $18,000 : four new c lass ified e mp loyees, $19, 000, and related costs , $1,900.
