ETELESCOPE A dministration accepts free speech guidelines Guid elines concerning Palomar's Free Speech area are now in effect. After months of debate over certain issues of the guidelines, they became a reality following acceptance by the Administrative Council Tuesday. However, one part of the Free Speech Code was passed on a trial basis due to the fact that it was questioned by several members of the Administrative Council. That part is the pro vision regarding the allowance of speakers to use a PA system at the Free Speech area. According to Dr. Frederick Huber, president of Palomar College, the Administrative Council questioned the PA system provision for two reasons. One reason was becau se several members felt that an amplifier would inte rfere with persons trying to study in the library during the College Hour. Al so, another concern of the Administrative Council was that an amplifier would infringe upon the rights of people who just wanted to relax on the lawn and
not be bothered by the people using the Free Speech area . One othe r concern of the Council was the question of who would be responsible for making sure that the guidelines set down for the F r ee Speech area would be fo llowed. "I think that this is a step in the right direction," stated Huber concerning the ratification of the Free Speech area . The guidelines concerning the area were originally drafted last spring due to many requests from various sectors of the campus. They we re then submitted to the Administrative Counci l only to be amended and returned to the Student Council this fa ll. One amendment made by the Admi nistrative Council was that a provision stating, "Students wishing the use of a microphone may do so via a formal request through the Inter-Club Council", was deleted. When the issue was brought up at last Monday's Stud ent Council meeting it
Students comment on speech area By Jim Ground rules for the use ofPalomar's Free Speech area were tentatively approved on Tuesday by the Administrative Council. On Wednesday this reporter visited the almost deserted forum area in front of the men's locker room to obtain student reaction to the move over which so many have sweated and agonized. Asking people if they are for free speech is a little like atiking if they love their mothers . Everyone ls tor it, from Eldridge Cleaver to George Wallace. Michele Macidall said it was a good idea. "People today hu ·.:c' a lot to talk abo'..tl: and it's good that they have someplace to do it." We asked her if she would go to listen to a speaker if one should show up. "Sure, if I had an interest in what he was talking about?' she replied. Would she ever give a speech? "Oh no! I'm no speaker. " Steve Hoffa liked the idea too but said it would depend on what the speaker was saying whether or not he would go to a speech. He did not think he would ever make a speech himself, though. Freshman Lorry Sulenski said she might be tempted to make a speech, "If I got mad enough about something." Lorry thinks the provision for the forum is a great idea. "At least it shows we do really have the freedom." she comm e nted . · With Lorry was her friend, Rosemary Kaiser. She didn't think she could give a sneech but she was happy about the area itself. "I think it's a fine idea. Something like this makes our constitutional freedoms meaningful. Also it's a go0d way to head off student unrest by providing an outlet for discontent."
Strain "lt will be a good thing if the students usP it and don't abuse it," said Robert Prescvtt. We asked Mr. Prescott if he would be using the microphone and speakr~ rs to hold forth on anything himself. "I kind of doubt it unless as a rebuttal of some sort to something somebody e lse said." Sheryl Fries tad said the area was okay for thosf:' who like to speak. That didn't incl .tde her, though said the quiet freshman girl. Would she go to listen to a speaker? "Yes, if they were interesting_ I don't think I would go if someone was talking for communism or anything like that, though, unless it was just out of
was decided that the provision would be made more lenient by stating, "A microphone will be mad e available at 11 a.m . daily." A B President, Kim Clark, then took the amended code to Wednesday's Administrative Council meeting where it was passed after considerable debate. "I'm glad to see that the Administration has offered us the us e of a microphone, because the free speech areas in Berkeley and in Hyd e Park in London aren't even equipped with a PA sys tem." stated Clark . "Howeve r, it must be stressed that the PA system is only tentative. Therefore students should us e the area freely but it must not be abused." Clark also expressed gratitude to Dr. Huber for, "He !ping us get this thing through the Administrative Council." The Free Speech area is loca ted on the lawn in front of the men's locker room and can be used during the College Hour daily by both students and faculty. Persons wishing to use the P A system can obtain it from Gail Gabbard in the Dome Gymnasium. When more than one speaker wishes to use the area at the same time, the ASB will direct the moving of one of the speakers to a more appropriate place according to the code . Speakers who are not students or faculty members must request the use of the facility through the administration. The Code also stipulates that the creation of the free speech area does not authorize any speaker to employ the use of vulgar, profane or abusive language . Speakers using the area are personally r esponsible for any statements made. The code urges that all students and faculty members using this area "Conduct themse lves in such a manner as to reflect upon the high ideals of decency which has become tradition with the student body of this ca mpus."
curio~- ity."
"Students should be able to voice their opin ions and express their own ideas in a way tha t will mean something," said Craig Johnson. "It could be abused or it ""Uld turn out to be a real good thing. Al"o, it's a good way to let the admini ~;:. ration know the way we feel." Richard Newfield said he hoped it would be a success but that he felt it would be hptter if it was open longer. "I know several people in the Peace and Freedom club are planning to use it and that will probably stir up more inteJ ···= st." Both Johnson and Newfeld said they would probably use the facilities themsel·· ~ s if they were sufficiently worked up about anything to voice their feelings. Any011e wishing to use the area may check out a microphone and speakers from 1he custodian in the dome any day between 11 and 12. No clearance or prior approval of any kinrl is required. The only regulation is that the speaker be a member of the student body or faculty of Palomar· College and that he exercise good taste.

North County colleges oppose Watson move The North County Council of Com· mun:ty Colleges has approved a state ment of opposition to Proposition 9 or the Waison Amendment on the November 5 ballot, and has noted endorsement of Proposition 1A on the same ballot..

"Proposition 9 wou1.i cause untold havoc to the public schools in every community in California,'' Mrs. Fox declared."Every city, county and special service district in the state would al so be plunged into unimaginable economic confusion if that measure is voted. It is a cruel hoax that would harm the very class of taxpayer it is purported to help." In the other resolution, it was stated that "Proposition lA provides tax relief to homeowners and to renters without the drastic efforts inherent in Proposition 9," and that the council is on record for support of 1 A in the November general election.
