Palomar has many activists. These students heard .appeals for their services on Friday that motivated them to pledge their efforts to the passage of the March 12 tax override election. Students are asked to participate in a district wide effort to inform the dis trict citizens of all the ramifications of the issues prior to the election. The call is given by both the College and ASB presidents , Dr. Frederick R. Huber and Robert F. Thoreson, respectively. Thoreson explained "there are 52 districts and we are going to canvass 36 of them." He stressed that all students should acquaint themselves with the issues and be able to answer any questions put to them by the citizenery. Those who signed up at the convocation will work in the city of their choice on the March 2 and 9 in a door to door canvass. In addition to handing out information and answering questions the students will gather phone numbers to be used in the pre-election reminder blitz. Students may still sign up in the Dean of Student Activities Office. In the special convocation Dr. Huber explained the prospective student role in the election. "This is a highly personali zed election directe·d on two fronts. The first is a letters campaign and the second and most important is the stupent effort. "You're the reason we're (faculty
The first impression to be drawn from "Papa is All" is that Papa, being the center of power in the family, is considered to be "all"-- everything. The real meaning, however, is that "papa is all" means that "papa is gone" is Mennonite jargon. Jake actually believes that since Papa is going for a train ride that Papa is then dead. Papa returns to avenge his daughter's honor and to bring a surprise ending leading the true use of "Papa is All." The price of admission 'will be 75 cents for students and $1.50 for others. Tickets will be on sale in the Student Union this week and at the door.

"We are not a junior institution to anything, we are a community college ," stressed Dr. Huber as he continued to explain the gravity of the college's monetary condition. "We don't have the money to expand." He cited the need for additional instructors and the need for "a second class in registered nursing, and the need to expand the police science to the day program. Plans for informing the surrounding communities include important background information such as the rate of growth. "Palomar College has been a constantly growing institution. There has been phenominal growth; a steady increase of 10, 12, and 15 per cent. Last Fall we saw a 20 per cent jump and we see no end to it." He further explained, "the master plan has been revised to show at least 3000 day students in 1968. "We feel we have a reasonable issue. We must continue to bring our case to the public. The financial breakdown

of monies was explained by the President, "at the present time the college receives 26 per cent from the State, one and a half per cent to two per cent from the federal government and the remainder is from local taxes . " He said the tax measure "means that above the 35 cent legal district tax (currently in effect) we must go to the public. It is a yes or no vote. "The tax 'is for five years only, beginning in 1968. It is important that the ntlblic understand this . That means that ;he 19 cent increase would cost you $ 9. 50 more on your tax biU." "It is essential that the March 12 election succeed. If it fails the college faces . curtailment in programs, classes and activities. Failure will hamper the complete development of P a 1om a r College," stated Frederick R. Huber, Palomar president. Probable areas where curtailment is imperative include such basics as day enrollment, bus services, ad u 1 t education, equipment replacement, instructor additions and further expansion plans. The 19 cent tax override would be added to the present district tax rate of 35 cents. "The cost to the average property owner (assuming a $20,000 home assessed by the county at $5,000) would be only $9.50 per year, obviously a small sum to allow your district college to move forward," Dr. Huber explained.
The comedy centers around a Pennsylvania Dutch Mennonite family in. 1945. Near the small town of Lancaster, the family is held tightly together by the iron fist of Papa, who seeks to control his children in order to avoid hiring outside workers for his farm. Under his tyrannical rule, the family grudgingly· held together. Jake openly despises Papa. Mamaputs up with him because she doesn't know what else to do. Emma dislikes him because he keeps her from meeting young ' men. Jake decides to have Papa take a little trip, permanently. He knocks Papa out and loads him onto a westbound train, believing that the train will take Papa a long way from Lancaster.

and administration) here , you're our product, we think you have to be involved in this," challenged the President. "This college is the educational and cultural center of the North County. We want to remain this way. The college is also an educational asset to you," emphatically stated Dr. Huber. "It is important that the community know our ad van tages."
Strife and growth of a young boy in Har lem is the plot of the movie. "This particular film has won ~ number of awards," said Theodore Kilman, dean of adult education and community services. "Many of the films s hown on Tuesday
evenings are ones which are rented for use in the English 45- B classes. Since Palomar College is the cultural center of North County, the movies serve as a cultural advantage to the college," Dean Kilman continued. "Many movies are artistic successes." "Anywhere from 30 to 100people attend the films and about half are students. The films are shown about every week," Kilman said.
