Paper to publish semi-weekly issues EDITORS NOTE: This is an editorial comment on the change in publication of The Telescope. Palomar College has San Diego County's first semi-weekly junior college newspaper. It will be the first such publication in the 21 year history of the college. Publication days are Tuesday and Thursday. The Tuesday edition will contain newe1 and sports; Thursday will be news, editorials ana features. The paper will be distributed on the news rack during the 11 hour on those days. It is the first time that the newspaper staff wili write, prepare and produce a new.spaper on a regular basis using our own• printin~ equipment on campus. Four tabloid ed:it!on~ will be printed on an experimental basis for the remainder of the semester by The Teles·scope staff. If response is favorable and the system is applicable for the spring staff, the program may be continued. The switch to the new system is benefical to the student body as well as to the publication
staff. News distribution will be improved and the coverage reaching the students will be more current giving the opportunity for the average student to keep up on the details of all campus activities. Lastly, the journalism department as a whole is benefited because a larger number of people will pa:r;ticipate in the production of more issues. Writers gain the experience of setting up news anp feature coverage for close publication dates and learn to seek out more items for publication. Graphics personnel work with real deadlines in setting up and printing the revised campus publication. Each individual involved has more responsibility added to his job 'and therefore learns more proficiency and further expands hfs knowledge of communications. A change couldn't come at a better time in the semester. We are presently faced with campaign issues that the student voters must be informed about in order to intelligently cast their votes in the up-coming ASB election. Once people are informed of the issues by the paper
valuable discussion and free exchange of ideas can occur. Hogefully this will give rise to a student body that has both active participants and those who can give intelligent crittcism due to their honest observations and knowledge. The Telescope represents the entire spectrum of student thought and its main job is tQ'' report and criticize events occuring on the campus and events effecting the college community. A student newspaper is an important part of the total campus program. When Palomar College started 21 years ago in old army barracks on the Vista High campus, The Telescope began. FIRST ISSUES OCCASIONAL PRODUCTIONS The newspaper started out as an OccaSionally produced mimeographed sheet before the cotlege moved to ffie present site in the early 1950's. After the move, The Telescope expanded to a tabloid which made infrequent appearances. In the late 1950's the first regular newspaper was produced by the college. First it was a tabloid published monthly and then pro-
duction was moved up to bi-monthly deadlines. · In 1962 The Telescope underwent another change when the paper was organized into the first weekly tabloid production by Theodore Kilman, communications department head. This schedule continued until four years ago when the paper changed its format to a full standard si_?;e 8 column paper. Still another format change occured three years ago when the girst graphic arts equipment was acquired by the Communications Department. The number of columns was changed to five and the full size page remained. The staff began to do part of the reproduction work with the new eauioment. The same sheet size and five column format continued until this issue when we inititated tighter deadlines and began to exoeriment with the idea of a semi-weekly tabloid publication. This enables us to totally produce The Telescope on campus for the first time on a regular basis. --Joan Kattelmann
