Involvement 1 activity keys to clubs Involvement and activity are the key words for this year's club schedule.

(Ed . Note: One of the major factors in the nullification of the recent election of student body officers was the torrent of complaints by the voters that the candidates were unknown to them. In an effort to remedy this situation, The Telescope has attempted to contact those running and presents here a brief outline of the available candidates.) Running for the office of Freshman Class President is George Poling, a graduate of Fallbrook Union High School. He is a member of AMS and cites his experience as Chief Justice of the Student Court of his high school as qualification for office. Poling says he hopes to create a working government supported and run by the students. "I feel I have the experience to make the Freshman Class work as a unity. I have been active in high school government for four years and I would like to continue such work throughout my college career," Poling said. Opposing Poling is Mark Iacuaniello. Iacuaniello a graduate of San Marcos High, stated, "As Freshman Class President I realize the limitations of the office but I will exercise to the fullest of my capability the powe rs delegated to the office to bring a more functional ASB Council." S.::>phomore Class Presidential candidate, Tom Leonard, is a resident of Cardiff and graduated from San Dieguito High Sch0ol. Leonard outlined the following platform: "In the past, the duties of the Sophomore Class President have been to preside over poorly attended Sopho-

more Class Meetings and to rai se money with carwashes and dances. These activities are duplicated by almost every student organization on campus. •If elected, I will be involved in broadening of student academic and cultural interests. Two immediate efforts to be made are (1) Enriched speaker programs, and (2) Bringing films, art, and misic of cultural interest to Palomar College. "In brief, I hope to provide a new dimension in student government at Palomar . . . . " Dan Zukaitis is Leonard's opponent in the Sophomore race. Zukaitis, who lives in Poway, is a transplant from Minneapolis, Minnesota where he was a 1966 graduate of Hopkins High School. When asked about his platform, Zukaitis replied, "I feel that with my seat on the council I will be able to have a voice in the many issues that need to be altered or changed on this campus. We have a very good school here with opportunities for educational and athletic advancement. I will try to enrich these areas with better unity between students and their student government. Then, with Student opinion known, we on the council can make the necessary adjustments on the campus and with the faculty . . . . " Zukaitis was a member of his high school council and is currently a member of the Newman and Varsity clubs. Five at-large council representatives will also be elected from a field of ~ candidates . Frank W. Mott Is a native of Woodville, Texas and is a graduate of East Chambers High School in that state. He was president of the student council in his Senior year there. Presently he is a Marine Corps Staff Sergeant and is attending Palomar under the ADCOP

program . "I believe that I can r ep resent all the students by representing at large. This will give each and every one of the students a chance to voice their opinions and then have me present them before the ASB Council, " said Mott. Escondido resident Cindy Morris is also seeking a representative's seat. Miss Morris was on the staff of the yearbook of Orange Glen High School in Escondido which graduated her in 1968. She hopes to help revamp the election cope or procedures and to encourage more student participation in school policies. "What happens to the school is entirely up to the students," commented Miss Morris. Sophomore Jess Ashcraft hopes to regain the seat he held on the council last semester. The San Dieguito High graduate is also currently President of the Young Republicans. Ashcraft is running on an antibookstore platform. He feels that a large portion of the student body is upset with the prices there. "I feel that there is a possible way to remedy this expensive practice we all expe rience each semester," said Ashcraft. He says his platform is, "to compare our ASB expenses with that of the other schools. Some of the other junior college ASB's do not put out ene half the money we do for staff help. I feel the ~district should! pay," he continued. But he warned that results could not be achieved for his program overnight. Three other candidates for representative , Peggy Johns on, Terry Franklin, and Marvin Frazer, could not be reached for comment.
