Club Week was the brainchild of Paul Hauptman, ASB vice-president. Hauptma~ said in an open letter to the student body, "Our main motive behind all of this is to promote greater school spirit in campus activities and to encourage more student participation in campus clubs and organizations ." Besides the events scheduled throughout this week, most clubs will be holding their regular weekly meeting. A Weekly Calendar of Events can be picked up at the switchboard in the administration building. The calendar, published each Monday, lists all campus happenings, including time and location of club meetings.

State mandatoty ASB cards bill killed by educational committee vote. Mandatory ASB ·cards for junior colleges will not come into effect. Not for the time being. at least. Assembly bill 485 was killed by the Education Committee last Tuesday. The vote was 8-8. The bill would have provided for a mandatory card at the junior college level. ASB cards are now required by law at all state colleges and universities. "Assembly bill 485 may be reintroduced into assembly," said Bob Thoreson, ASB president. "If an assemblyman changes his dissenting vote, he can reintroduce the bill. "Many students from the Los Angeles area are trying to persuade assemblyman Dent to change his vote. "If Dent reverses his vote, the count

would be 9-7, which would pass the bill," Thoreson said. Once the bill is passed by the Education Committee, it is sent to the state assembly for a vote. For nearly the last 15 years, Palomar College student councils and Area 1 delegates have been in support of the mandatory card. Thoreson went to Sacramento March 4 to represent Palomar as favoring the bill. Six California junior colleges have collapsed because of lack of funds in recent years. A definite income, which the bill would insure, could prevent such collapses, according to Thoreson. Some of the assemblymen who are against the bill "oppose it on the basis that it is a form of tuition," said Thoreson.

Approximately one hundred students attended the one-day event. The Palomar de legation was forced to depart prior to the conclusion of the meeting due to the late hour.

Film~

of Europe shown on Mondays to stude11ts i11terested in traveling

Eat . sleep and travel Europe on $5 a day this summer? The secret to this unbelievable opportunity can be discovered by traveling Europe as European tourists do. "The average European tourist can live on $5 a day including hotel accommodatio ns . me a 1 s and e ntertainment." explained Charles A. Coutts. assistant dean of instruction. Films are shown in ES-19 each Monday at 11 a.m. for students interested in the many attractions European countries have to offer tourists. "Tourists, who want to stay where Europeans stay , can obtain an adequate room for between $1.50 and $2 a night. A good breakfast will cost as little as 50 cents, and a 50- cent lunch can be acquired by buying bread and cheese at a market . The tourist is then left with $1.50 with which he can enjoy a delicious evening meal." Dean Coutts also pointed out that the cost of traveling throughout Europe can range from $2 to nothing a day. Most European tourists hitchhike throughout the continent with a flag of their country on their bag and a sign indicating their destination. The next least expensive mode of transportation is offered by the European Bus Lines. "Students can also obtain a rail pass to travel on any train as far as

they want to go for $2 a day.~ This offers a student unlimita::i transportation. The only financial problem facing most students is that incurred from traveling to and from Europe. "Students will find some countries cheaper than others," adds Dean Coutts. Spain and Greece, for instance, are very reasonable. The Scandinavian countries, however, are not inexpensive. Those who are interested in an inexpensive vacation in Europe can gain assistance in planning such a trip by writing to the various National Tourist Bureaus in the United States for free literature. Students can also join the National Students Association of Educational Travel. Inc. for assistance or purchase 1968 Let's Go, the Student Guide to Europe published by Harvard Student Agencies, Inc.
