Vice-president of YR's resigns; election slated
Plans for AWS throughout the spring are many and varied. AWS officers met at President Debbie Hayward's house on February 2 to discus events to take place this spring. Mr. Marjorie Wallace, advisor, also attended the informal meeting and luncheon.
Steve Krueger submitted his resignation as first vice-president of the Young Republicans club Wednesday at the meeting of the executive board of the club. His letter of resignation as well as the selection of a successor will be voted on in the Young Republicans meeting today in P- 22 during the lunch hour. "Jess Ashcraft tries to run the club like a d i c tat o r s hip," Krueger said following his resignation. "We used to be one of the largest clubs on campus; now our attending membership is down to about a half dozen. The club treasury contained around $200 at the beginning of the year, but now we only have nine dollars," charges Krueger. Ashcraft, president of Yr's , denies the charges, saying, "Steve is just a little bit upset." Krueger states that he is not the only one dissatisfied with Ashcraft's leadership. "He is killing our membership , not to mention our treasury." "He likes to spend money like a drunken sailor, is intolerant of other people's political philosphies, and does not represent the mainstream of Republican thought." he continued. Ashcraft, son of former Assemblyman Hale Ashcraft, said after receiving the resignation that "all I've been doing is organizing the club's officers." "He just doesn't realize the scope of running a club," said the YR hea<;l. ''I was surprised and disappointed to hear of his resignation," explained Ashcraft, "I thought he would be one of the better officers." Kruege r says he and Ashcraft differ in their views on the Vietnam War. The journalism major is opposed to the U.S. involvment. Ashcraft says that he has not to the best of his knowledge, ever discussed the war with him . As to Krueger's accusations of Ashcraft's loose spending procedures, the YR president replied, "We only had $100 in the treasury when I took over and we still have $47.'' In rebuttal to his vice-president's charge of a reduction of the number of members in the club since Ashcraft gained office he stated, "I've never been to a meeting where there were less than 20 people in attendance." Krueger feels that there is present a lack of communication between the president and his officers. He cited as an example the student opinion poll recently conducted by the club. He says that Ashcraft mentioned the poll in late November and that was the last the vice-president heard of it until he discovered it in the corner of the Student Union after the table was already set up. The YR's were shaken up earlier in the year when their advisor, physics and engineering department head, William Bedford, resigned to join the Peace and Freedom Party.
The idea of a woman speaker on campus was proposed. Club members are investgating the possiblity of inviting Mrs. Jona Salk to speak during a regular assembly hour. The woman guest speaker would probably talk during Club Week, which is tentatively set for some time in March. This speech would be in accordance with ASB vice-president Paul Hauptman's recommendation that each club spsonor an event during Club Week. Three AWS appointees make plans for the spring semester. They are (left to right) Jan Harless, who was appoin-
Comet athletes tour southland <)ver weekend "Join the Air Force and see the world." Would you believe, "Join a Palomar athletic team and see California"? Yes, the college teams are packing their bags for road trips this weekend, with probably the biggest event the basketball squad's tangle with the USC Frosh in the Los Angeles Sports Arena. Coach Jim Clayton's baseball crew won't be so far Saturday in · visiting the Highway 78 rival Mira Costa, but will go to the central part of the state Tuesday when they test the Mt. San Antonio Mounties. Rain has twice postponed the track meet at El Camino but Tuesday the Palomar thin-clads travel up north for the triangular meet with Harbor after a meet with Mt. San Antonio today. Wednesday the baseball team visited F.iverside and dropped their fourth game of the year without a win, 8-4. Tom Johnson and Greg Abney did the hurling while Bob Snead's 2-for-3 effort at the plate was best in that department. Palomar's wrestling squad won its two meets Wednesday in the desert. In the afternoon contest they beat Imperial Valley, 33-12, and in the evening had a 36-18 nod over the College of the Desert. Jeff Johnston, Jon Mitchell and Greg Arnold recored a pin against each team to pace the grapplers. The Palomar basketball squad, came close Wednesday before losing to Grossmont, 98-91. The Comets were ahead at halftime , 48-46, but Doug Boyd's 38 points were too much. Rudy Waardenburg (22 points), Mike Judd (24), and John Thacher (26) paced the cagers in scoring.

from in 1959. She is a graduate ot St. Olaf College of Northfield , Minn., and has her masters from San Diego State. She was selected for her article in a national magazine published by the National Association of Women's Deans ·and counselors on her work in the design of a dormitory at Waldorf College. "I worked with the architect in its design,'' she commented. ''They incorpol'ated almost all of myrecommendations in the building itself." Senator Margaret Chase Smith said of the publication, ''Some of the young women in this book have been termed outstanding because they have responded with courage during a time of personal crisis. Others have given generously of their time, energy, money and talents to civic and church work. Others have performed with great ability in their chosen professional fields.'' After graduation from St. Olaf College, Mrs. Poole taught music in the Lake Mills, Iowa,area for two years, then completed work for her M.A. in San Diego. Part of her thesis was based on work as a housemother at Waldorf College and her help in dormitory design. The annual publication will appear in April and will be available in the library.

Campus tours, planetarium shows and and a question and answer period are a few of the events on the agenda for the annual Senior Women's day. The yearly welcoming of senior high school women will be held on Thursday, April 25. The officers voted against having a speaker at this time, thinking that a ql\estion and answer session would be more beneficial to incoming women. Women who have been graduated from Palomar in recent years will be invited to attend. These graduates will be from different areas: some will be married, other will be in the professional world and others will be women who have gone on to a four year college after P alomar "In this way the senior women can ask questions, not only on Palomar, but college life in gneral. Many of them will be planning to attend Palomar for only a year or two and will interested in their future after Palomar. In long range planning, the club officers also discussed the annual MotherDaughter fashion show. All women students are cordially invited to partake in the show to be held on May 10 in the Student Union. All AWS members will help with the upcoming tax override by partaking in a telephone blitz and by babysiting for parents of small chilren who like to leave home long enough to vote.
Three new appointments were also made during the meeting. They are Barbara Hart, AWS treasurer, Jan Harless, co-cultural chairman; and Linda Matz, social chairman. AWS meetings, held every Wednesday in F-23, are open to all womenstudents.
Playwriting talent developed in class Within the confines of Palomar Col.lege may be hiding such great talents as Edward ..:\,lbee or Henrik Ibsen. If there are, Frank White's new playwriting class is a sure bet to bring such talent out. White . Theatre Arts departmentchairman, established the course for the first time this semester ''for people who are interested in learning to write plays." There are approximately ten people in the course and each member will be required to wr ite a one-act play. The plays authored by the students will then be produced and directed by individuals selected by the author of the play. This, according to White, will enable tbe writer to see his play as the director tries to make sense out of it and as the actors try to make the dialogue seem real. "It's easy for the writer to look at his play on paper and say •that'§ a darn good play' but when he sees what happens when it is performed he has a good learning experience," commented White. The purpose of the class is to have the students learn the technical part of playwriting such as what an author uses as his source of idea for the play. White listed one of the majorproblems of the beginning writer is the fact that he tries to use real characters which seem interesting to him but in fact are very dull on the stage. Mostwriters try to use real happenings in their plays. However, White feels that, "the theatre is not life, but only an imitation of life." White cited five different means of getting ideas for plays. Playwriters can do plays about people they have met, old stories, news..Paper s, historicial inc idents, and biographies.

Photographic work of about 15 students is currently on display in the Phil Putnam Library. The photographs will remain there until February 25. At that time they will displayed at the Escondio Mall along with art work done by Palomar students. "There are three panels of Photographs according to Justus Ahrend, photography instructor. The panels include abstract photographs, a picture essay on Vista and creative photography. The abstract photos were done by last semester's advanced photography class. All pictures are asbtract ions of items photographed on campus. Copies of these picture were inserted into the Fall 1967 magazine. Don Bartletti of Vista did the photo essay on his home town. A photo essay is a collection of photographs which tell a story completely. When done on a town, the essay must hit all aspects of city living, such as occupations, recreations and industry. A credited night class in creative photgraphy furnished the many different creative shots. "The creative photographs were the result of assignment in pattern, texture, movement, perspective, tone and composition," Ahrend said.
