Fund-raisi~g dance helps heart victim Sixteen year old Judy Parrow loved to dance. One of he r friends said · that dancing was 'one of her 'things." Today, Judy lies helplessly in a bed at University Hospital in San Diego, victim of a heart ailment that baffles the finest heart s pecialists available. Her fellow students at the three area high schools, as well as a contingent of Palomar students led by Nancy Pal-
mer, are holding a dance to swell the meager 'Jud y F und' already established to help pay some of the costs for Judy's r ecovery.
but wishing to help the Farrows pay the vast medical bill can buy tickets or simply donate any amount of money to Miss Palmer.
The dance , to be he ld tomorrow night, will be held in Pilgrim Hall at Escondido's First Congregational Church, 4th and Hickory Streets. Ad mission price is $1.50, with advance tickets now on sale from Miss Palme r in the Student Council offices. Students unable to attend
Two weeks ago, .Judy Parrow was a sm ili ng high school junior. Suddenly, s he collapsed in her living room and was rushed to Palomar hospital. The doctors placed her in the intensive care ward and called for heart specialists to he lp. So far, the doctors have n't been able to
diagnose her illness other than to compare it to muscle c ramps around and in the heart. The steering c ommittee met last weekend to plan the dance and decided on a two band extravaganza (both bands are donating their time) with free posters from Swadell Lithography in Escondido, and other voluntee r help in the production. Miss Palm er asks that anyone who
would like to help Judy buy a ticket, regardless if they intend to attend the dance. In addition, she suggests that donations be made from clubs and campus organizations . 'Any amount will help,' she said. Donations are being collected by local volunteers and saved in a special account at the Grand Ave . branch of Southern California National Bank, as well as s pec ial collection }ars in area restaurants .

Board votes pay raise for • Instructors Revised pay scales for Palomar instructors were unanimously adopted by a meeting Tuesday of the college board of governors. About 90 instructors will be affected by the pay hike which will take Palomar out of the back ranks of salary schedules among the 31 southern California JCs . The raise will lift the starting salary of instructors with a master's degree from $7,571, 28th in the South, to $8,071, about lOth. The actual range of salaries, though, remains the same, $7,125 for a holder of a bachelor's degree, to $14,250 for a PhD. The board also laid out $47,000 for the purchase of new supplies and equipment and $25,000 to hire several new instructors in the Spring. All this was made possible by a windfall of federal, state, and non- district county money which could not be anticipated at the regular budgetary sessions of the board last Spring. In a letter released to the facu lty on Wednesday, Palomar president, Dr. Frederick Huber said, ·'The revised salary schedule corrects the inequities that have existed for many years, and it provides the college with the means of adequately compensating existing staff, as well as enabling the employment of outstanding staff in the coming years . " Adoption of the resolution generally followed the recommendations of the faculty senate which was concerned with the lack of parity with other junior colleges for teachers with advanced degrees.

Club Week groans to close Club Week will groan to a close today with the disputed A.S.B. e lections, the kangaroo court competing with a jam session sponsored by a campus candidate and the softball tournament championships . Begun Monday with a poorly attended tricycle race, the second Club Week simply never caught fire. Even with the burlesque atmosphere and slapstick nature of the pie throwing and whip cream spraying, the Grand Prix de Trikedom failed to arouse any interest or fire in many students. Following the three e ntry race, a free speech area opened a nd closed without the knowledge of too many spectators. Of the eight candidates running for office in today' s election, only those running for class presidencies and two of the representative candidates spoke. Tuesday, in desperation it would seem, the Shorinjo Kempo demonstration was moved from the dome to the student union. There, before a captive audience of about 150 hungry students, the somewhat dull drone of Sargent D. Smith explained the meditation process of Zen Buddhism and the muscle cramping position required for it. The exhibit itself was only enjoyabl e to the audience out of 'volunteering' range of the instructor. Wednesday was the only high point of Club Week. Wade Snyder spoke to a packed house of over 300 students in P-32 for the Behavioural Science group. His topic was a review of Desmond Morris's controversial best seller, the 'Naked Ape . ' This event must be considered the only successful happening of
the ICC-backed Club Week fiasco . That same day, the paper plane flying contest died before birth on the lawns of the campus. Due to lack of participation, AWS fashion show was reset for next Friday. Yesterday was no better for thei.C.C. bust. A mouse race, moved outside of the student union to conform to health regulations, drew a meager audience. The tricycle race re-run drew even less of an audience than did the race itself earlier in the week. Today, the vets will try to hold their annual inquisition, the kangaroo court. The basis for the whole sham is to make the 'power children' look ridiculous. Some of the things accomplished by this wonderful group are; 1) having a life science instructor run around the student union with a butterfly net pretending to catch an imaginarybutterfly, 2) egg rolling across the floor, 3) etc . , 4) etc ., 5) etc. Competing with the traditional court will be a band named the Advocates of Sexual Stimulation. The jam will be sponsored by one of the political candidate s for class president, Tom Leonard. In general summation, Club Week featured as main events gimmicks to try to make the 'ins' look rid iculous, i.e. the splattering of the trike race and today's kangaroo court. The only event which could be considered a success was purely intellectual. Perhaps the tide has turned from high school games like trike races to more scholarly pursuits. We can only hope that our leaders may learn from this week and make a few changes for the next Club Week.
African student attends Palomar Ben was born on a Sunday in the year 194 7. In fact the initial "K" in his name stands for Kwasi and meant exactly that, "born on Sunday" . However, following the African custom, it was changed when he was ready to enter grade school to Kodow Bodu, in honor of his grandfather, which literally translated means, "the tenth child born on Monday .. , His name legally changed , Ben was ready to begin school. He was five years old and with the naivity of all children he wanted to go to school. Unfortunately, he flunked the entrance exam twice. It was really a very simple exam, all the child had to do was reach his arm across his head and touch his ear, But Ben could not reach that far. Although he failed he was admitted anyway. Once in school he had one more problem to overcome, he would not talk. One day when Ben wouldn't answer a question his teacher, Mr. Asare, hit him on the head with a ruler--

the blood began to flow and so did words from Ben. After that there were no more problems. On March 5, 1957, Ghana received its independence from Great Britain. Ben remembers it well though at the time he did not really undersand what all the celebration was about. At noon all the cannons, bells, clocks, and horns sounded at once blending into a n unbelievable din. Rockets were shot into the air protraying pictures of Queen Elizabeth of England and Kwame Nkruman, president of Ghana. The British flag was lowe red and the flag of Ghana hoisted into its place. Two years later Ben entered Methodist Middle School which is similar to elementary school in this country, except that it is ten years long, so ~e n had foul' · more years to go. Ben was not hll.ppy, the thrill of going to school had worn off by now. (Which just proves that kids are the same everywhere. ) He wanted to transfer to a secondary boarding school, unfortunatelyhis parents wanted him to remain at home, because he was so young. (Parents
Sean O'Faolain, the Irish writer and journalist, will speak at Palomar College Monday, as the first leacturer of the annual Palomar Forum Series that will bring nine additional distinguished personalities to the San Marcos campus. Sean O'Faolain is a novelest, philosopher, lecturer, biographer, world traveller, and loyal son of Ireland. He will discuss "The Essentials and Pleasures of Fiction" Monday at 10 a.m. in the student union building in the first presentation of the 1968-1969 Palomar College and Community Service lecture series. O'Faolain first achieved prominence as an author in 1932 with the publication of "Midsummer's Night Madness and Other Stories" , which describes life in Ireland during the period from the Easter Rebellion in 1916 to the establishme nt of the Irish Free State in 1921. The book won him a nomination for Ireland's "Femina" award and an invitation to be a charter member of the Irish Academy of letters, which includ ed among its members Shaw and Keats . During the 1930's and the early 1940's O'Faolain's major works, mostly on the theme of realistic portrayal of the Irish "simplefolk" included many short stories, novels, four major biographies and a play. Since the mid-1940's he has lectured in the United States and Europe and Written mainly travel stories . His most controversial writing published in this country appeared in a March 1953 issue of "Life" magazine. Titled "Love Among the Irish", the article concerned the restrictive effects of church censorship and family traditions on Irish young people. He encouraged them toremain in Ireland and work toward reforming the outmoded systems rather than conforming or leaving Ireland as so many were doing at that time. O'Faolain's own youth was devoted to the pursuit of his political and philosophical ideals. Born at the turn of the century in County Cork, at an early age he changed his name from Whelan to O'Faolain, the Gaelic variant, as part of his personal campaign to reassert the values of Ireland's past. Anirishnationalist, he fought in the Irish revolution from 1918-21. He holds masters degrees from the National University of Ireland and Harvard, and spent 1954 lecturing at the Princeton Graduate School. The next lecture in the series will be given by Peter Dickinson, who asks "Is Satire Any Use?" on October 23 at 8 p.m. Dickinson is assistant editor of the weekly "Punch", for more than a cent-
ury Britain's leadi ng magazine of satire and humor. He has been with "Punch" for 15 years , and specializes in writing topical and satirical verse. Future lecturers include : columnist Art Hoppe, choreographer Agnes DeMille, scientist and economist Dr. Albert Burke, Assembly Speaker Jesse Unruh, religious reformist William DuBay and anthropologist L.S. Leakey. Guitarist Manuel Lopez Ramos will perform in December.

All lectures are free and will be held at 8 p.m. with the exception the O'Faolain lecture and the Hoppe lecture, also at 10 a.m.
Snyder discusses 'TheNaked Ape' Wade Snyder, Life Science instructor, lectured on the best seller book, "The Naked Ape" in front of nearly 300 students Wednesday. The book was written by Desmond Morris and came out last year. Snyder said that the reason the book was a best seller is because emphasis was put OP sex and fighting. This was brought out by the fact that out of seven chapters, the two with the most content dealt with sex and fighti ng. He refered to humans as being "apecats", meaning humans are primates and carnivora at the same time. Morris used this term frequently in the book. A large part of the lecture was used in defining general adult "primateness", general adult "carnivoreness," and general adult "humanness." Comparisons were made of these in such areas as sexual behavior, fighting, sociality and many other areas . He related the conflicts of the natural sexual behavior of humans with society. Referring to his lecture Snyder said , "I am presenting the fac ts not judging them." After Snyder had defined "humanness" he stated, "We are capable of swinging back and forth from primate to carnivor, but remember the carnivora are becoming extinct. " The newly formed Behavioral Science group sponsored Snyder's speech. Regular meetings of t he group are on Monday at 11 a. m. in P-16.
are tne same everywhere, too!) Finally his ten years came to an end. He secretly sat for the "common entrance exam" for secondary school. Hl did very we.U and could have been admitted, but he could not go this time because it was too expensi ve . Then one day he received a :letter telling him that he had been adwarded a scholarship which would allow him to go to any secondary school he desired. Four years later though, Ben was ready to go again. He had begun a correspondence with a Bible Society called "The Bible Christian Truth" encouraging him to travel, and he had an offer to go the Dahomey, a country in South Africa. At first his father was against the idea, but Ben managed to convince him that this was a great opportunity for him. Efforts failed however, to get him an international passport and he had to return from Dahomey to his old school. But before arrangements were completed for his readmission he got another letter from his sponsor in Dahomey asking him to return. At first he was hesistant remembering his previous experienc~. But he wtnt anyway.
