Volume 21, Number 14 Dr. Huber suggests student tax campaign Ground plans for student involvement in the March 12 19-cent tax override election have been recently formulated by Deans of Student Activities Marjorie Wallace and Robert Bowman with the help of Palomar President, Dr. Frederick R. Huber. Dr. Huber stated , "I have asked Dean Bowman and Dean Wallace to take charge of getting a group of 300-500 students to form a nucleus who will conduct a door-to-door house-to-house canvass of our district; determining on the doorto-door contact whether or not the citizens are registered voters; what knowledge they poccess on the issues; leave materials on the election and ask for the phone number for reminder contact." "I have asked the faculty to designate students from all areas" to become involved in the program representing the college. "I hope to have a convocation the first week of the new semester to make a direct appeal to the student body." He plans to appeal to the ASB Council for their support soon. All students who are interested may sign up with Dean Bowman in R-02. "The key thrust is the student group. Later on we will hold orientation for these students and they will be given specific areas and people to see-- their courses will be plotted out." Dr. Huber cited figures from the last unsuccessful bond election Febuary 28, 1967. "There were 41,000 voters registered and 25 per cent voted last time. We need only 51 per cent for a successful campaign." The funds are needed for college operational costs.

"This college is in a growing stage," Dr. Huber said, "and we must have the funds to meet its responsibilities to the district public. We are not asking for funds for capital outlay , or for new building construction of any kind. The only objective is to maintain a financial level that will enable us to keep up with basic educational needs and quality for taking care of the students who are coming here." Administration officials pointed out that 19 additional teaching employees had been requested for this school year but that only eight could be employed. Actual over-crowding and teacher-load problems have been pronounced throughout the fall in some basic departments including English, science and physical education. The proposed tax of 19 cents per $100 valuation would return to the college about $598,000 in 1968-69 with the estimated needs for next year and the following years estimated at around $600,000. The present general operating tax is 35 cents per $100 valuation, and the 19cent increase would bring that figure to 54 cents, with funds from the increase not becoming available to the college until well into the 1968 session. Officials pointed out that the proposed 19-cent override would amount to only $9.50 a year for the average district owner of a $20,000 residence, assessed by the county at one-fourth, or $5,000. Dr. . Huber said, "In this plea to the district public we will hope to have grassroots support from every thoughtful citizen, civic groups, parents ofpresent and future junior college students , and the people generally, who it is hoped will recognize our problem , the simple need for funds to·maintain just the basic educational operations, after all it is a very modest cost to the individual for meeting what is becoming a most critical requirement for their community college."

Booklets are available in the counseling offices and in each department area. Their primary purpose is for referenc e for students making out spring schedules, according to Rita Schmidt, committee co-chairman. "However," said Miss Schmidt , "we hope students will refer to them during the semester as criteria for evaluation of instruction at the end of the semester." Faculty support of the project has been less than enthusiastic. "Only about onethird. of the faculty members returned the ·s yllabus forms we distributed," said Miss Schmidt. "We hope to have
