Huber to recommend 19 cent tax tonight; Board of Governors to tour new facility Dr. Frederick R. Huber, Palomar President, will recommend a 19 cent district tax override and the calling of a March 12 district election to the Board of Governors tonight.

"It is apparent to your faculty and administration that Palomar College will need additional :f'lmds for operation of the college for 1967-68." Dr. Huber said.

The tax recommendation is 3.1 cents less than the previous figure of 22.1 cents per $100 valuation suggested at the last Board meeting two weeks ago

by Dr. Huber.

Student ceramics on sale this week An annual ceramic pottery sale is scheduled for Thursday and Fridayfrom 9 a.m . to 5 p.m. in the Music Quadrangle of the Fine Arts Complex. About 15 students will sell their work done is this semester's art classes.

Ceramic creations featuring different tecniques in glazing and a variance in size and form will be offered for sale along with some sculpture and ceramic jewwlry.

Last year the event grossed about $245 and offered about 150-200 pieces for sale. 20 per cent goes to the Art Guild to be used as a supple~entary art department fund for the purchse of equipment and miscellaneous expense.

If passed by district voters, the tax will go for general funding purposes such as the hiring of additional staff, payment of salaries and the purchase of needed equipment, both new and replacements. "It will be based on per $100 property valuation. This means that a house worth $20,000 and assessed at one-fourth of its worth, or $5,000, would have a yearly tax of $9.50 levied against it," explained Dr. Huber.

In other business the Board will tour the new automotive technology building.

Members of the college board of governors will attend the early portion of the open house preceding their regular board meeting, and a brief dedication ceremony will be held.

Palomar College's modern new $250,000 auto-technology building will be presented for public inspection at an open house tonight from 6:30to9:30p.m.

Everett Robertson, chairman of the industrial technology department, said the public is invited and visitors will be shown through the building, including a viewing of the latest equipment used in modern auto mechanics.

The new building was completed in late summer and occupied at the beginning of the fall semester. The facility· contains 12,500 square feet of space, including a large open shop area, machine shop, transmission shop, tool rooms and two classrooms. All the equipment represents the latest designs in automotive shop installations.

Palomar's first musical, 'A Christmas Carol' is a sell-out success. All seats have been sold, and calls for reservations are constantly being turned away.

"We're elated, of course, and at the same time disappointed that so many people can't see it," said Frank Whit~. drama instructor.

"We have tu:rned down several calls today from people wanting tickets. What this points to is

Robert Scheer, Viet war critic, to speak here Thursday night Robert Scheer, Managing Editor of Ramparts magazine, recognized as one of California's most eloquent advocates for US withdraw! from Vietnam, will speak in the Student Union at 8 p.m. Thursday.

His talk will be sponsored by Palomar's Peace and Freedom Club.

Scheer ran this fall in the BerkeleyOakland area in a Democratic primary for a seat in the House of Representatives and polled 47 percent of the vote, losing to the incumbent.

A statement issued by Harry Bongiorni, director of the Peace and Freedom Party for the 80th Assembly

"I don't think that the kids realize what a good deal they are getting," said Patti Russo , ASB Social Chairman.

the need we have for a theater. And we won't get one if the college bond issue is constantly defeated."

Only 1400 north county theater-goers will be f o r tun ate· enough to see the original version of the Dickens classic.

This is less than half of the enrollment at Palomar College. The amount of money brought in from the box office has not yet been calculated.

District, says, in part: ''The appearance of Robert Scheer at Palomar Junior College, Thursday night, signifies a political 'coming-of-age' in the North County which none of us would have dreamed possible two months ago.

"North San Diego County, heretofore regarded as an impregnable right wing stronghold, has been breached by the political consciousness of hundreds of persons--adults and teens--who are fed up with the Vietnam war and the platitudes mouthed about it by theproponents of the Democratic and Rep u b 1 i c an parties."

New political club

THE TELESCOPE In 1962, the Student Publications Board established a Code of Ethics with the cooperation of the members of all campus publications. Local newspaper publishers were asked to comment and they said the code was compl ete. Two statements from that code are pertinent today: "Withi n the framework of s c hool coverage , sensationalism. glorification, and favoritism should not be tolerated. • Coverage of national or International occurrences should be governed by the proximity of the event and the direct relationship of the event to the student s. These events should be considered

By Jean Peasley

EDITORIALS A new communication happening Thursday night and through the weekend a new kind of happening occurred in the drama lab with each performance of "The Christmas Carol." The enthusiastic players brought Dickens' classic alive for all to enjoy and e nab 1 e d the audience to individually participate in the vibrating Christmas spirit.

There was a communication between the audience and the players that began when the Cham be r Singe r s entered through the seating areas inging cheerfully and setting the mood for a most enjoyable two and a half hours.

Opening night marked the first time in the history of Palomar College that a full scale musical was successfully produced. That in itself is an accomplishment. What makes our production special is that it was created by Palomar. In an original musical version

faculty and student talent combined to produce a sell-out show offering more than entertainment.

Dr. Frederick R. Huber, Palomar President, recommended after viewing opening night, "May I suggest that you see 'The Christmas Carol'! Not only will it give you inspil'ation, but it will make you realize what education is all about--a skillful blending of student, teacher, talent, creativity, individualism and the willingness to learn."

One outstanding feature of the production was the apparent sincerity of the players. This was especially obvious in the grand finale when the entire cast of some 60 people flooded the stage and filled the room with heartfelt cries of "Merry Christmas."

As the audience filed out into the night, laughing and praising the new look into an old tradition, they communicated with each other in the good old-fashioned uninhibited Christmas Spirit.

A proposition · for free speech On November 30, December 1 and 2, 82 member colleges of the California Junior College Student Government Association met in convention atAsilomar, Monterey. The purpose behind this convention was an exchange of ideas and problems of the attending colleg~s. A resolution was passed that member colleges create a forum for free speech.

The student at Palomar and ali other jc's have experienced a maturity. No longer is the junior college student interested totally in themselves and an intimate group of friends but rather to a focus envolvement with entire campus and to variable for the campus and outside community The Palomar student is old enough and envolved enough for formation of his

The area would be approved by student, faculty, and administration.

The approved area would be somewhere on the grass, aggreeable to all, far enough to avoid classes and close nough to draw a crowd. The time would be the college hour so the chances of class interruption would be low.

At the first examples of abusement of this forum, the students or student would have to forfeit this right.

Given a chance, the student can use this forum to a beneficial exchange.

No person can refuse the Palomar student free speech, because if it is wanted it will be had. This proposition will be made of a giant cooperative campus wide effort envolving all students.

OUR COLLEGE COMMUNIIY parade Pep Club is planning a trip to this year's rose parade. If enough students sign up, the club will take a college bus and charge $4.0 0 per person. This price includes two meals and transportation to and from the parade. The bus is scheduled to leave the evening of December 31 and return sometime Sunday.

Students will take sleeping bags for the ove rnight excursion, which is covered by school insurance . Anyone interested should contact Cecelia Lodico. or some member of Pep Cluh. Plans are unde rway, so be sure to s ign up as soon as possible.

representative Among the many activities in the student union last Friday. was a representative from Chapman College ' s University of the Seven Seas. This is a program where students travel aboard for one semester, the ship being their campus.

The cost is about $35 00 a semester, and the students visit 17 countries. Several Palomar students are planning to enroll in the semester

-at-sea next semester, including Samantha Dalzell .

Jean Peasley was a traveling correspondent fo r The Telescope during the Spring '67 voyage.

slaveless Veteran's Club had to cancel this year's slave sale due to a lack of available girls, according to Virginia Wiggenjost, Secretary to Dean of Student Activities.

Slave sales in the past have been extremely profitable with some girls selling for over $20.

There must be plenty of girls around this year who are willing to volunteer as slaves. :Perhaps the Vets Club didn't look in the right places. Mayo'~ ariother club should take up thi's annual endeavor.

refreshments The Women's Recreation Association has provided refreshments at Intermission during the 'Christmas Carol,' and will continue this service throughout the run of the play. All proceeds are going toward a scholarship fund for a clu.b member.

CAMPUS COMMENTARY

Free speech forum The importance of the right to speak out has been stressed more and more in the recent years .

A free speech movement which has been sweeping the nation has brought with it successful and interesting results in some instances, riot and chaos at other times.

Some students wondered if Palomar were ready for such a movement. A consensus of opinion showed these results when students were asked "Do you think there is enough demand for a free speech forum at Palomar? This forum would be for student thought, with students speaking on any issue which interested them. lt would probably be held once or twice a week during the 11:00 college hour."

Richard B. Peacock, English instructor -- "I really don't know.

But I think there should J . be. Free speech means nothmg unless it ·is exercised. In other words , free speech only exists in the act of speaking freely.

This is elementary on a college campus. I think it would be exciting and informative if such a platform would be established here. "

John Chambers, sophomore -- "There's enough demand for it but you have to remember that the school board has certain qualifications for the speaker which means they can't be too controversial or too conservative. In other words , the school board doesn't want to rock the boat!"

lS

debated

Mrs. Elaine Jordan, parttime student--"! think there is enough demand for a free speech forum. I am here only one hour a day , but from the students I've met and gotten to know, I think they are strongly opinion ated and they would partake in a forum.

Bunny McElliott, fres hman-"! haven' t heard of anyone wanting to speak in such a forum. I don't think there are enough issues that anyone would want to speak about."

Steve Gallacher, freshman-" As far as Palomar is concerned there is absolutely no need for this type offorum. There are very few people qualified to discuss much of anything."

PAT BOTT

MAUREEN McGINLEY

MRS. ELAINE JORDAN

Maureen McGinley, freshman --"No, because most students at Palomar are really not that interested. Maybe the first few times would be successfql, but only those first times." ' Pat Bott, freshman -- "A speech forum of this type would be interesting and probably a lot could be accomplished if topics which students wanted to talk about were brought up. But I'm not sure if that many people would go. Students would go only if interested in the topic to be discussed."

Greg Simms, sophomore-"Yes, a free speech forum is needed because people are breaking away from ideas that have been instilled in them -they are thinking for themselves more than they ever have before in the history of this country. '' Larry J. Moffitt, sophomore --"Absolutely. There should be a free speech area or forum whereby one could say anything he wanted free from the scrutiny of press, administration or even his own cons cience."

Last Friday the s tude n t union was jammed--much of it due to the organization of a new club on campus which supports the platform of the Peace and F reedom Party.

The club has aroused much enthusiasm on campus--including a large membership which is currently joining the party in its campaign to obtain the sufficient number of ree:istered voters needed to put it in the California primaries Among the speakers who have been brought to Palomar is Robert Scheer (see page one)--to offer students and faculty an opportunity to learn the platforms and objectives of the group.

"You Can Do Better Than This," a Peace and Freedom Party pamphlet featuring a picture of Richard Nixon and Pres ident Johnson on the cover, summarizes the two main objectives of the party: to get the United States out of Viet Nam, and to promote self-determination for the "black people . " In an atte::npt to stress their need to gain a foothold in the prim~ries, the party says, "After the Democratic convention renominates LBJ and the Republicans nominate Reagan, there will be no further chance for peace ... '' This statement expresses one of the club's many viewpoints on current politics.

Palomar's participation in the movement has b~en energetic and forceful.

The club has more members than any other political party on campus this semester, and may be one of the largest political clubs in Palomar's history.

Many of the members of the campus club have joined the campaign by volunteering services at booths which have been set up in the local communities at various locations (supermarkets, shopping malls, etc.)

Among the many incidents in the Club 's campaign include the resignat ion of the Young Republican advisor, Mr. William Bedford who decided to become a registered Peace and Freedom Party member.

"Our objectives are to instill an interest in student political involvement--to activate an interest in the contemporary p o 1it i c a 1 scene,'' said John Gallagher, President of the Peace and F reedom Club of Palomar.

"We are affiliated with the Peace a nd F reedom Party, having similar interests which include e liminating the type of foreign policy which has lead Americans into thi·s • immoral sacrifice of hli:r:nan life. ''Perhaps the Peace and Freedom Party won't win any elections, stop any wars , or stop men from hating other men because of the color of their skin. But I have a personal moral obligation to myself to work for and stand for the things I believe are right. "

Courses (continued from page one ) Two classes are offered inpre-school education; Literature and Story Telling for Young Children and Meeting the Emotional and Physical Needs of the PreSchool Child are both two units.

The first c ourse is a study of literature for the pre-school child. Emphasis will be placed on the selection of suitable materials, story telling and dramatizing techniques for the various age and maturity levels encountered in nursery schools.

The second pre-school course deals with planning routines and physical environment to promote healthy emotional and social development, nutrition, rest, toileting, health, safety and physical activities.

Two special noncredit classes are Egg Marketing ,and Germany and Her Position In Our Modern World.

The egg course is an investigation of he marketing and handling of eggs , with emphasis on selection and new processes.

Dr. Gunter Schlothauer, exchange instructor from Germany, will instruct the German course.:Topics to be discussed are: Foundations: Germany and the German Reich, the Federal Republic of Germany, Berlin, Eastern Germany; the Constitution of Western Germany: The Constitution of Eastern Germany; The Parties of Both Parts of Germany; The Economy in East and West Germany; the Social Structu re of Bot h German States; Education and Science in Germany; and the Cultural Life inGermany.

A stadium of sounds

by Sue Alperin

(Sue Alperin is blind. These are her impressions of San Diego's new municipal stadium.--Eds.) The home of the San Diego Chargers is a large cement building, standing alone in Mission valley, north east of San Diego. For someone who has lived in the East most of their life it's really something to come out here and find such a large stadium.

You as a member of this community can come and SEE our beautiful stadium. However, I as a citizen of this city cannot come to see the stadium, but I can come and view the stadium in a different way.

To me, the building, standing

center of Mission Valley. I am touring around the stadium and observing at the same time.

The massive walkways are winding, sort of in a ci rcular or spiraling motion.

The winding motion I have concluded is just like a car when it turns sharply.

As it was told to me there are two levels that are closed off to the ma jor portion of the public.

On the fir st level are the offices of the owners of the San Diego Chargers . Soon it may house the offices of the owners of a major league baseball team . T he color scheme on this level is orange and purple.

The other level is saved for the city officials and the press.

I hear the wind in the trees and whi s tling in and a round the stadium.

Have you ever examined the seats ?

At first this may seem a r ather surprising question.

Because norm all_y people just sit in them and le~ve 1t a t that but I sat in them and discove r ed that they are exact r eplicas of the seats found in most theater s, with one d iffer ence being that they are plas tic.

Filipino twins describe life on Pacific isle

By Cf:'celia Lodico

(Cecelia Lodico's interview of the twins is in italics.-- Eds.)

KNOW THE PHILIPPINES

by Evelyn Cortez The Republic of the Philippines-founded July 4, 1946--is a land of grace and many problems. It is a turbulent country. new to the ways of independence after four centuries of occupation by foreign rulers--Spain, the United States and Japan. It is a country imbued with

Perhaps thee greatest boon left by the United States was the English language.

During the American occupation English was the language of instruction. Today it has become the most common tongue in a land where more than 87 dialects are spoken.

The chief dialects are Ilocano, Bicol, Cebuano and Tagalog, which prevails as the "official" language, although only about six million Filipinos speak it.

The twins speak Tagalog. "We unde-v~h:d many ather dialects, but don't s.beaf~ them," they said. The

dialects differ from town to town.

"We knew English when we came here, but Americans have a different way of expressing themselves," Evelyn noted.

Priscilla added that she "used to say 'close the radio' instead of turn off the radio."

Philippine money P1 (peso) is four times the equivalent of a dollar.

According to the twins, "average people use buses and Jeepnies • Jeepnies are army type jeeps. A car is considered a lixury.

"Rich people are those who can afford to send their children to the university and who can afford cars."

There are only two classes of people in the Philippines, the rich and the poor. The rich help the poor in many ways, such as donations to Red Cross.

"Almost all the houses are made of wood. And everyone has his own style of house. Ww were surprised tofind all the houses the same when we first came here. The plan of our house is just like our neighbor's, •• Priscilla giggled.

GOVERNMENT~~MILAR

The two-house legislature is made up of a senate consisting of 24 members elected for a 6-year term and a house of representatives consisting of 102 members elected for a 4-year term.

The Council of State. an advisory and consultative body, is made up of members of the cabinet, the president of the senate, the speaker of the house of representatives, and distinguished citizens appointed by the president. The right to vote belongs to all citizens over 21 years of age who can read and write English, or a native tongue. Freedom of religion, speech, and assembly is guaranteed.

Priscilla America's ideals of freedom, though corruption and 1>0verty still keep that idealism from flowering fully. The national flag did not become official until independence. The eight rays of the sun on the flag represent the provinces rising against the Spaniards; the threefive-pointed stars represent Luzon, The Visayan Islands. and Mindanao.

The land area of the Philippines is 115,830 square miles , about the s~e of Arizona, extending 1, 150 miles north and south, the sweep of Washington, Oregon, and California combined. More than 7,000 islands and islets rise from a partly submerged mountain chain to, form the Philippines.

Its 32.600.000 people live on this galaxy of islands strung from the Pacific Ocean to the South China Sea. Twothirds of the population lives on the two largest islands , Luzon and Mindanao.

Eighty-three percent are Catholic. Some other religious sects are Aglipayan (an independent Christian sect), Moslem and Protestant minorities.

Born in Manila, Evelyn and Priscilla came to the United States with their family in June, 1965.

"We flew to Texas on vacation. We visited with an uncle who lives in Corpus Christi for three months.

Then we moved to Poway where we now live," Evelyn rema ··bed.

The people of the Philippines are of many diffe rent racial types. The modern Filipinos are best described as a mixture of peoples--a combination of Malay, Spanish, English. American and Chinese immigrants. Those who are properly called Filipinos are brown-skinned people

FR...:-.t:- PRESS PREVAILS Another mark of Philippine democracy is a free press. "Sometimes our press is embarrassing, but it is very free. ·• Quezon City is the legal and future capital of the Philippines, a suburb of Manila.

The official residence of the president of the Republic "Malacanang Palace", the Philippine White House is in Manila across the Pasig River.

Manila sprawls in a wide semicircle around the Pasig River. It is the industrial center of the Philippines with a population of 1,339,000. Along the Pasig River, which bisects Manila, are many public buildings. the main business district and elegant residences. With wide avenues bustling with traffic, neonlighted luxury hotels lining the bay shore, five bridges stretching over the Pasig River, shops, movies and night-clubs accomodating customers of all types, Manila is a western metropolis.

MANILA SERVES AS CxuSSnOAD Yet behind this western facade lives the "other" Filipino. His house is adapted to the city but remains basically Philippine.

Markets and narrow, winding lanes breathe the spirit of the Orient behind Occidental splendor. Manila is a crossroad between Asia and America. The Philippines is a land of contrast. The main transportations are Jeepnies and buses. However, modern cars are used by rich people. A 15¢ ride, equivalent to a nickel in American nomey, will take you any place around the city. A

An art major, Miss Russo is active not only in school clubs and activities but in extra curricular events as well.

She is AWS vice-president.

"I don't know what I would have done without Patti as my vice-president this year." said Debbie Hayward, AWSpresident. "She has been a tremendous help in promoting and helping with all the events that AWS has sponsored so far this year . ., Miss Russo is also ASB Social Chairman. This job includes full planning and organizing of homecoming activities, the Christmas formal, the springformal and any other major social functions.

"Patti was selected by the club because of outstanding work as Homecoming Chairman as well as her many other extracurricular activities, both on and off campus," stated Larry Williams , Circle K president.

Patti Russo

Farming is the chief occupation of the people. Their main crops are sugarcane, rice, corn, beans , fruits, coconuts and other nuts, abaca, peanuts, tobacco, and root crops. The leading industries are sugar refining; food processing; cigar making; abaca processing; and the manufacture of wearing apparel, chemicals and fertilizer. The chief exports are copra, sugar, abaca, metals, lumber and log, coconut oil, desiccated coconut, canned pineapple, tobacco, indigo , mother-of pearl and hats. The islands are rich in a number of valuable minerals -- coal, chromite, copper, gold, iron, lead, zinc and manganese.

Abaca is a fibrous plant used for making rope. Desiccated coconut has sweet white meat and milk.

"The hats are hand made. The Philippines is well noted for its hand emboridered clothing, also," Priscilla stated.

SCHOOL SYSTEM DIFFERS

The girls attributed the quotation to one of their government representatives.

Patti RLtsso Is club Sweetheart; l\ \VS \Vc)I11an C)f Acl1iev~ement Two clubs have honored sophomore Patti Russo recently .

AWS has chosen Miss Russo as its second Woman of Achievement for this year. She also has been named November Sweetheart of the lVJonth by Circle K , the men's service club .

NATURAL RESOURCES ABUNDANT

Miss Russo was also a homecoming princess and is a College Board member for Walker Scott Company.

Using her good taste in art, Miss Russo provided the backdrops for many AWS fashion shows held last year. She decorated the student union for the homeccoming dance and created the psychedelic design on the homecoming buttons.

The educational system in the Philippines is quite different. Elementary school is from first grade through the sixth grade. After elementary schooling there are fours years of high school.

There are two class sessions in the ·~ elementary level, either in the morning: or afternoon. In high school there are nine classes for the day. Classes are from 7 a.m. till 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. The teachers change from classroom to classroom. Sometimes a day of school is held on Saturday, if a holiday falls on a school day.

In the last two years of high school , one decides whether he'll go on to Vocational training or Preparatory school. There are public schools for elementary and secondary level for those who can't afford to go to a private school. Both public and private schools require a uniform for all students. Each college has its own uniform.

"When I went to school," Evelyn continued, "I wore an all white,one piece dress with black shoes. We always had to be properly dressed."

COLLEGE~EXPEN~VE

College education is quite expensive.

Those who can't afford to pay tuition fees usually apply for a scholarship.

Some work to support their college e ducation. There are colleges and universities for females only or males only which are often run by priests and nuns. However, there are Christian colleges and coed universities. The grading system is a lot different. 1 stands for A, 2 for B, 3 for C, 4for D and a 5 is an F. Manila has one of the oldest universities of formerly colonial areas. The "Lyceum of the Philippines" is a modern law university. The University of the Philippines occupies new buildings in Quezon City. just east of Manila. "We have 17 ,500 students from all over Asia.' • This University is strictly for all males . Far Eastern University with its 36,000 enrollment is one of the largest private institutions in the world,_

Both girls claim they are homesick, missing their freinds a greqt deal.

While reminiscing, Priscilla said she had attended one year of nursing

Family ties are very close in the Philippines. Fflipinos still believes in this saying: "A family that prays together stays together. " Eac h Filipino family has many children. A Filipino boy or girl grows up and learns values in a unique family setting that strongly conditions all attitudes toward life.

Priscilla said that in the Philippines there is more formality displayed. Many of my neighbors who are younger call my mother by her first name. We never call anyone older by the first name. We always use Mr. or Mrs." 1 1

GIRLS ARE SERENADED Serenating i's a very common way of courting a girl. The boy expresses his feeling by singing a love song to a girl. Holding hands and kissing in public is very impolite and unmannered among Filipinos. Home visitation is a way of knowing a girl and at the same time the family circle. The average age for marriage is between 23-25 though some marry younger. Anyone is free to make a choice of his mate, but in marriage both parties should have the consent from their parents. With marriage it is the groom who foots all the involved expenses, from bridal gown to the reception. "Long-table" is the traditional word use when asking a girl when she is going to be married.

Evelyn school before emigrating to America.

"I attended the Far Eastern University in Manila. I would have begun my internship the July after I left." .f r~scilla is majoring in dental asszstzng.

Evelyn attended the Philippine "Jhris tian College, also in Manila.

"I had one year of business administration. Some units were accepted when we move. I am now majoring in general clerical practice.,

A ll dates are chaperoned, by the way,even though agirl may be in her twenties.

"Any boy is welcome to come to the house to visit the girl."
