Judy Parrow dies Judy Parrow, Escondido High School junior, died yesterday morning in University Hospital in San Diego. Miss Parrow was felled by a mysterious heart ailment which baffles doctors even after her death.

She. had been in a comatic state for some days before beginning to slip away Sunday afternoon.

Eight months ago her sister, Dorothy Heinman, died of a mysterious ailment. Miss Heinman was 19 at the time of her death. They were the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Thaddius "Windy" Parrow of 1322 N. Date St., Escondido.

A campaign to raise money to help pay Judy's hospital costs was waged by area students prior to the 16 yearold's death. Over $3500 had been raised from private donations, a dance and golf tournament. Despite this, the costs of her six-week stay in both Palomar Hospital in Escondido and University Hospital will be far above the amount raised.

Funeral arrangements had not been made as of press time.

Election day, 1968 today; 47 million will not vote Today is the day the world has waited for since the U.S. Presidential campaign began long months ago in the snows of New Hampshire. Today, of course, is election day, 1968.

It is a sad commentary on the American political system that since 1920, the President of the United States has been elected by the second largest group of American voters. The largest group did not vote .

In 1964, more than one third of the people in this country did not bother to go to the polls.

What are the reasons for this apparent voter apathy?

In an article in last week's U.S. News & World Report, the subject was examined and several in~eresting conclusions reached.

Today, approximately 75 million people will cast ballots for Presidential electors and for the man they want to be President for the next four years.

Another 4 7 million people, old enough and otherwise qualified to vote will not.

(This figure is arrived at on the basis of the 1964 election, when 62% voted and 38% did not.)

Who are these citizens who do not vote? First, are some two million illiterates who cannot vote due to regulations by the state8.

Next, are about two million, seven hundred thousand non-citizens, such as recent immigrants.

Many of the two million, three hundred thousand men in the armed services will not cast absentee ballots.

Another three million, four hundred thousand will be unable to vote due to health problems ,according to the Public Health Service.

Another 200,000 will be in prison, denied franchise by law.

About five million, six hundred thousand cannot meet state voting resiency requirements.

To quote the article, "Among 11 million adult Negroes, in the U.S., a large share are non-voters. Southern Regional Council estimates show 3,240,000 Negroes now registered to vote in the South--50 percent more than in 1964 1 but still only about 54 per cent of the adult Negroes there."

Among poverty dwellers, several million of the 15 million eligible citizens will not vote due to transportation difficulties, no time off from work to vote, have failed to register, or just don't care.

These seven groups add up to over 42 million citizens who will not vote for the next leader of the free world.

There are reasons for the poor voter turn out, however. Many others will just not bother, probably about five million more.

Traditionally, if the people are angry and dissatisfied with the government, they will heavily turn out to vote. If they are happy with the status quo, or feel that there is no choice in the candidates, then a small voter turn-out can be expected.

The election year of 1968 can be called many things. Dull is not one of them.

With the vital issues of the war, cities, poverty, law and order, social welfare, and many others to guide us, there is little excuse for a poor voter turn-out at the pools today.

What are you doing today?

Two-year catalog guidelines set; reorganization of courses made 1

By Lois Cavalier Guidelines recommending major changes in the Palomar College catalog have been approved by the curriculum committee and will be incorporated in the 1969-71 edition.

"Our goal is to provide a catalog which will contain concise course descriptions in a set pattern with uniform requisites as well as an attractive, easily read instructional tool," said Frank Martinie, catalog committee chairman. This will be the first twoyear edition in the history of the college.

"We also want to provide the broadest possible selection of general education courses with accurate descriptions so that students may profitably choose electives left to their discretion." he said.

Changes outlined in the guidelines are: Each semester length course will be listed separately.

Courses structured for transfer to a four-year school will be designated by special numbering (1-99). Courses intended primarily for two-year termina~ programs will also be specially numbered (100-199).

Cross-listed courses will be listed identically.

After the number, the course title will be listed with a brief and concise description of the course, followed by the

A show of comtemporary portraits opened last weekend at the Dwight Boehm Gallery, The artist is Lance Richbourg whose reputation has been for drawings of wild west figures and sc~mes from an unusual perspective.

Richbourg's portraits, some life sized, some smaller, are so fresh and alive they impress upon the viewer their individuality and immediacy.

He explains his recent full-sized portraits of women as done in an "objective , realistic style while avoiding the conventions normally used in portraiture to create illusions of threedimensional form and deep space."

He has had many one-man shows, including one recently at the La Jolla Museum of Art. The show at the Boehm Gallery will continue through November 14. The Gallery is open weekdays and evenings whe n there are night classes.

number of hours per week to be devoted to lectures, demonstrations , sections and / or laboratories.

The phrase "permission of the instructor" will be deleted except when this is the sole prerequisite. Other prerequisites will be listed.

A description of the course content and objectives will be included. Statements starting with "A continuation of" or "meets the requirements for" as now shown in the catalog will be deleted.

References will not be made to parallel courses at other institutions. Each department will provide the counselling department with a list of parallels.

The committee has also prepared a model curriculum, using the Business Department as an example, showing· improved methods of explaining requirements for the two- year and four-year programs.

The size of the catalog will also probably be different. Among the many catalogs from other colleges and universities examined by the committee, Martinie cites the Seattle Community College Catalog and the Foothill College Catalog as a mong the "most concise, readable and attractive".

In a young and growing institution many changes are needed in the catalog each year, but now that the college is

fairly stabilized in goals and curriculum it is possible to consider a two-year catalog for the first time.

Although not originally intended to be a two-year catalog, the 1967-68 edition was re-issued this year with a supplement. If necessary, the 1969-71 catalog will also have a supplement listing any changes in staff and courses for 197071.

Course description requests have been sent • to heads of all departments and must be returned by November 12. "After that, we will be very busy right up to the final catalog deadline of the week before Christmas vacation," Martinie said.

The catalog committee is a sub- committee of the curriculum committee.

Members are: Martinie, Dean Charles Coutts, Dean Howard Brubeck, Dean Theodore Kilman, Mrs. Cynthia Poole, Richard oble, Dean Virgil Bergman and Jack Quintero. Student representative is Kathy Freidrich. Secretary is Mrs. Marjorie Williams.

James McNutt of the Graphic Arts Department and Dean Kilman, formerly of the communications department, as well as photography instructor Justus Ahrend, will be consulted on catalog design. Because of its magnitude and the length of run required, the catalog will be printed commercially.

Interesting events are going on in the Library of which many students are not aware.

Mrs. Carolyn Wood, librarian, pointed out that a New Books section has been recently filled. This section contains many popular new books (fiction and non-fiction), and has a typed table of contents pinned on the wall alongside the bookshelves. This New Books section is located opposite the Circulation Desk on the north wall. Also a mimeographed list of new books is available to students by asking at the Circulation Desk.

A vast assortment of paperback books can be found also, down past the Reference Books Section on the same wall of the library. This section of books will eventually be moved into the Periodicals Department for better access to the students. Among the paperback collection one will find most any subject from adventure to science fiction and also some fairly best sellers.

When heavy use of a library book is anticipated by an instructor, he places the book on "reserve" status in the library. This reserve status enables all students to have fair access to a book in great demand by rationing its use.

For instance, a reserve book is kept on the reserve shelves by the main circulation desk and circulates for limited periods. The instructor sets the time period either two hours, overnight or three days - sometimes even a week.

Because of the need of many students for one book, these time limits are enforced by fines. For example, the fine for an overdue reserve book is $.10 the first hour and $. 05 each succeeding hour up to 50~ per day.

in the Student Union, will inaugurate a week of activities leading up to the Comets vs. Southwestern Apaches game on Saturday night at Memorial Field.

The theme for this year's homecoming is "The Golden Era," and activities will center around the prohibition theme. The after-game dance will be a "Speakeasy" held in the Student Union, complete with a bar and prohibition-era decorations.

"The Royal Enterprise" will be the band.

Wednesday a pep rally will be held, along with the introduction of queen finalists and judging of the moustache contest, which was started two weeks ago.

"Nominations for Homecoming Queen, are made by individual clubs in ICC," Janet Stiles, chairman of the homecoming committee said. "Each club nominates one girl--that makes 22 nominees. In the primary elections five finalists are chosen. The clubs that sponsor the finalists will have posters and publicity for the girls." Students will vote for one of the five finalists.

Homecoming bonfires are slated for Thursday night. This year there will be competition between the freshmen and sophomores to see who can get the biggest bonfire.

George Poling will lead the freshmen and Dan Zukaitis will be in charge of the sophomore bonfire.

Final Queen elections , a pep rally, and a banquet for the football team are on the schedule for Friday night. Any student who wishes to go can get tickets to the banquet.

The homecoming game and "Speakeasy" will round out activities for the week.

Samantha Dal zell, last year's homecoming queen, will crown thisyear's queen.

Other activities promoting homecoming are a victory rally still in the Student Union set up by the Pep Club, an ugly legs contest and a beautiful legs contest, arm and leg garter sales, and a week of "prohibition era" music during the college hour.

Any student interested in attendingthe homecoming committee meetings may do so. The committee meets every Tuesday at 11 a.m. in R-3. Chairman of the committee is Janet Stiles.

Other committee chairmen are: Judy Andrykowski, publicity; Dan Connelly and Bill White, elections; Kathy Taff, pep; Linda Dean, flowers; Mellouise Miller, financing; Nancy Palmer, invitations; and Katy Sullivan and Kathy Sweeney, dinner for the players.

FROM THE RIGHT SIDE

Telescope control a veiled threat

By Steven A. Krueger AT LAST!!! A controversy between Student government and the paper. This is what we like to see. However, since our ASB preside nt seems annoyed by last week's "From the Right Side," perhaps this week we will clear up some of his problems.

I feel that for the sake of argument, a few points should be added to Kim Clark's letter concerning my previous condemnation of the Student Court idea.

1) Information used concerning channels of discipline was received from Mr. Clark and ASB judicial chairman, Bill White. The facts were theirs. After reconsideration, they apparently remembered their own rules.

2) If the Board of Governors has no say in disciplinary matters, as Mr .

Clark seems to say , why then now go to them with appeals? If they do have the power now, why go through the motions of the court?

3) As an editor and reporter, I can only work with the ideas presented before me. This idea was put forth by the leading faculty proponent of the court. Hence, the attack was not with the court idea, but with the plan suggested by Sheridan Hegland.

4) Measures are presently in force to prevent a ruling group, from controlling both clubs and government, but it did not stop our esteemed vice-president from being president of a club, vice president of another (both by his own admission) while being elected ASB vice president, this in direct violation of existing rules.

5) I do not interpret the said "article" as liberally as does our president.

Since no "court" has ever existed, there is no provision specifically stating that the card may be revoked by a "court".

This was my point.

6) The statement concerning the Board was taken from statements made by Bill White after the meeting held two weeks ago to first consider the idea of a

I

court. He said before another reporter and myself, "The court has the backing of the Board as they feel that students should have the right to discipline themselves." If Mr. White wishes to retract his statement, he may do so.

Members of the ASB seem very willing to say one thing today, another tomorrow and who knows what the next day.

7) Again, I can only work with the ideas being proposed by Mr. White, Mr. Hegland, and others concerning the court.

8) The same 40 or so people run the c lubs as run the ASB, and our president surely must realize this fact. I did work, as a PAID EMPLOYEE of the ICC, on ClubScope. From the beginning, I was against the whole thing and told Kim Clark, Ron Simecka, and others that I thought it would be the failUI;e it ultimately was. I heard no argu ment against the ridiculous events of Club Week from the paneled offices of our president.

The few matters of discipline have, in the past, been handled by the Administration. This is as it should be, and as it s hould remain.

The thinly veiled threat of cutting off Telescope funds, Mr. Clark, is as juvenile as the entire student government system. Why compound the mistake by giving you and your children more power? How well have you handled the power you now have?

If, through magic, kidnapp ing, or whatever, you could bring intelligent, objective new faces into the court idea, I would consider backing the idea. As it stands now, the idea (not "proposal") is not worth any support.

If the students on this campus want the Student Court idea to become law, fine. But if they allow it to exist because of apathy and the "I don't give a hang" philosophy of so many students, then they deserve anything the "fabulous 40'' wants to give them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORS 'Robin Hood' Clark?

Dear Editor, The establishm ent of a "student court" at Palomar College is the most ridiculous idea that Kim "Robin Hood" Clark and his Merry Band have thought up yet to keep themselves occupied.

This "court" will provide another outlet for the "Merrymen" to use up their excess enthus iasm after studying and going to class fail to dim their bright and happy spirits.

A "student court" is another idea flung at the students to fool them into believing that they are really "participating" in the control of their school.

A junior-grade mock supreme court is the last thing Palomar College needs.

Oh yes, if Ron Simecka would like to borrow my Dick Tracy I.D. card and handcuffs , please contact me. I would be most glad to loan them to him and throw in my Sherlock Holmes hat for good luck.

Thank you, Maryanne Cheung Dll77

Justice for all Dear Editor, Democracy, along with its various branches and functions, is framed upon the principle of justice--NOT PUNISHMENT. The only reports we have had thus far from Bill White and Kim Clark speak of expulsion, revocation of privileges, "strong- arm methods", contempt of court, subpoenas etc. Isn't anyone giving any consideration to the defendant and his rights? Or is this student court going to be exc lusively concerned with punishing anyone they can get their hands on? Are they precluding the psosibility of false accusation?

Basically, it seems that the people who are working on the implementation

uf a student court are coming in through the back door--what types of "crimes" will be within the jurisdiction of the court? If you determine the offense then you could more intelligently arrive at an appropriate "punishment."

We've been told several times in the Telescope that no one in student government is sure of the purpose of the court, EXCEPT, they all agree that it is going to be a punative organization (it sounds more like a police force or the State Pen, rather than an instrument of justice.)

I suggest that the people wishing to set up this cour.t spend their next meeting writing on the blackboard--100 times each: "freedom" "justice" "innocence".

Let government fly ?

Dear Editor, Attention Steven A. Krueger Why do you feel called upon to kill the possible Student Court at Palomar J.C.?

Students at other Colleges are crying for this privilege. Wouldn't it be possible to wait until more of the details have been settled before branding it as a mistake?

You state it would be a "Lame-duck" court only going through the motions.

The Board of Governors is only going to review the convictions. In the U. S. a higher court usually only reviews the conviction.

If Kim Clark and hi s group is so repugnant to you, why don't you expend your energies toward a constructive means of interesting some other members of the student body? After all, if the U. S. citizens are tried of their peers. Are you suggesting that all the students at Palomar are immature? Does this include yourself? It has been said that apathetic people deserve their fate. \Ve find it hard to believe that the students in four year colleges and uni-: versities , who are not apathetic, are · willing to have only law majors on their Student Court.

You apparently assume that this Student Court will be handled in a frivilous manner by the students involved. You are doing a disservice to the Board of Governors when you insinuate they will rubber stamp an obvious injustice.

Anyone can criticize; constructive criticism requires some thought and effort.

Perhaps the government cannot fly, but they, at least, deserve a chance to fly.

The president answers

From Escondido Call 746-6111

Dear Editor: From reading the Tuesday, October 29th issue of the Telescope, two facts

were very apparent to me: (1) Students are not satisfied with the quality and content of their ASB-financed paper; (2) Steve Krueger doesn't know what he's talking about with regard to the idea of Student Court.

The idea of establishing a Student Court is being considered by an ASB Council Committee. No decisions have been made about its structure or jurisdiction. Hopefully it will handle exactly what Dean Burton's office handles. No court will have power to execute a sentence--only recommend to the Student Personnel Office what the court believes should be done.

A very complete Student Poll will be given out soon. In it will be the question of establishing a Student Court. I suggest that the Telescope should leave the decis ion to the students, and stop publishing misinformation.

These are Krueger's mistakes: ( 1) He wrote, "In the past, all student disciplinary matters were handled directly by the Board of Governors."

Absurd! These matters are primarily handled by the Student Personnel Office.

The Board has more important matters to attend to.

(2) He asked, "If the final word in judgment of cases rests with the Board of Governors, why go through the motions of establis hing a lame-duck court?"

Come now, Steve. Men much wiser than you set up our nation's system of appeals courts, which this idea would parallel.

(3) Krueger stated, "Hegland (said) that rulings of the Student Court would be overturned only by a four-to-one vote of the Board of Governors." This was only a suggestion by Mr. Hegland. No one, including the Board of Governors, has accepted this idea.

(4) Krueger wrote that only members of the ASB Council and friends would be willing to participate in a Court. But it is the general consensus of the Council that no one directly involved with a therefore biased in favor of any group or belief on campus should dominate the court. Court membership should be open to people other that the "Fabulous Forty."

(5) Krueger claims that there is no provision "in the purchase of the A B Card for revocation. . . " Look again , Steve, to Article I, Section 3 of the ASB Constitution By-Laws, which states, "l\1embership is void and card must be returned to the Dean of Student Activities if for any reason membership is suspended or terminated."

(6) Krueger writes that "The Board of Governors is making a bad mistake." I doubt if the Board of Governors even knows about this idea as yet! Krueger better watch out who he falsly (sic) criticises.(sic) (7) Finally, Krueger writes, " . . . the idea of being expelled by students immature enough to promote tricycle races and paper plane flying contests is ludi-

crous. .

Let me remind Palomar Students that Krueger was for Club Week; furthermore, Club Week was sponsored

by ICC, having no relation to those who are formulating the idea of a Student Court.

In summary, I condemn the Telescope Staff and Steve Krueger, in particular, for publishing lies, and trying to sway the student body with misinformation.

Should we have to put up with this?

Kim Robert Clark D 388 Associated Student President

Love?

Dear Editor, Love is a many splendored thing, but even marriages presumably made in heaven must be constantly rekindled in order to survive.

How then, can whole nations be expected to foster a spontaneous love for a people whom they have never met?

Surely we cannot depend on the press to promote such affection.

Admittedly we have failed miserably in a dozen areas, to reconcile our differences with other countries. It is for this very reason then, that we should hail the Olympic competitions as a step forward.

To quote an old cliche , "One pebble dropped in a pond makes a large ripple.' ' Perhaps in sports and the arts nations can at least participate on common ground, politics notwithstanding ...

Now that the summer Olympics have once again come to a close, I cannot help but feel a sense of pride, not just in the number of medals "our side" has accumulated, but in the tremendous effort these young athletes, men and women from all nations, have made toward fellowship in the spirit of competition ...

Let us not refute the Olympics as being "trivial" but rather allow ourselves the luxury of emotion as we view representatives of three competing nations standing erectly side by side to receive their medals amid tumultous applause afom a truly "integrated" audience!

Martha Miller

They like Telescope Dear Editor, I agree with Mr. Jim Strain(Tel escope, ov. 1) that our national sport is competition and violence.

Underground rag reveals 'truth '

By Steve Sc hneider This newspaper is a mouthpiece of the "rahs", the administration and the "good Americans". All people who do not fit into any of those three categories should not read this because is might pollute your brain.

The first edition of the Peace and Freedom club's underground newspaper "Likeitis" revealed the "truth about this campus' aboveground newspaper, The Telescope. In addition to the above "revelation", it told how the "gods" in R-3 dictate to this newspaper what they want it to print.

It also "revealed" that the only information you are allowed to see concerning the Peace and Freedom club condemns them as communists, bent on the destruction of the U.S.; radicals, lazy, unwashed, refusing to defend the American way of life, and anything else that comes to mind.

After reading the underground rag ever yone knows that they have now heard the truth?

If whoever is the author of "Likeitis" knew anything about journalism, he would know that if a newspaper truly wishes to be objective, then it should present both sides, whether it be political ideology or a news story. The Telescope has attempted to do this. That is why it has two columns on its editorial page which contradict each other in political ideology.

One wonders exac tly how objective "Likeitis" will be.

On one hand "Likeitis" says that it intends to present the views from the "other side of the fence" which would imply that it is going to be biased.

However, in the next sentence it says that it is going to "provide a medium that is free and open . . . open to any person who has something to say." This seems to contradict the previous statement.

Perhaps "Likeitis"hasn't made up its mind yet as to its editorial policy.

The Telescope is open to any person who has something to say. We welcome "Letters to the Editor" as well as guest editorials. If the people who write "Likeitis" wanted to present their views, they could have presented them long ago through this manner. Perhaps they have just decided to present their views. Or maybe they didn't have any views to present previously.

What goes into this newspaper is the sole decision of the editor, not the "gods" in R-3 or the administration.

The only control student government has over The Telescope is financially. But this is no control due to the fact that all that "control" could produce is another underground newspaper for Palomar.

This paper will continue to publish both sides on its editorial page. It will print all news which pertains to this college.

If the Peace and Freedom club wishes to have news published, then it would be wise for them to bring the information to R-1.

If they wish to have their "views from the opposite side of the fence" more widely read, then they should write letters to the editor or guest editorials.

However, if they wish to sit at their table in the student union and reveal the "truth" as told by "Likeitis" to a very small amount of readers, then they probably don't give a damn about their "opposite" views.
