Again the conversion attempt was good.

Ashby added two third-quarter scores on catches of 44 and 58 yards--one each from Ricky Lucia and Ward.

Southwestern attempted a comeback as James Baldwin raced 76 yards for the Apaches ' second score, but Faleafine sewed things up in the final stanza on a two yard plunge. The big 210 pound Hawaiian added two more points by running in the extra point.

The Apaches finished t he season with a 1 - 8 r ecord, putting them in the

Ben Appiah to stay; $1000 is donated If time really can solve problems, then the past week has done wonders for Ben Appiah. At Thursday's meeting of the Inter- Club Council, definite plans were made to finance the $1000 surety bond that must be posted if Ben, a foreign student, is to remain in the United States.

Several solutions were studied, and it was decided that the ICC will accept pledges for money from area individuals and campus clubs to buy the bond, and then re-imburse the amount with funds raised from campus fund-raising projects.

Ben, who is a native of Ghana, started school at Palomar in September. At the time, he was living with a family of missionaries in Alpine and commuting back and forth to school. Last month, however, he wrecked his compact car and was forced to look for a place to live closer to campl!ls. It was then that the missionaries decided they could no longer be his sponsors .

When the immigration service learned that Ben no longer had a sponsor, they notified him that his visa was cancelled and that he had two months to find another sponsor or face being deported.

In order to sponsor a foreign student the sponsoring individual or group must post a $1000 surety bond with the Im-

At Thursday's meeting, several reports were given by council members who had looked into the situation. One member investigated the poss ibility of bonding with an insurance company for the amount. This measure was not possible, however, because all of the com panies questioned required an unde rwriter and because of Ben's status as a foreign national.

Bill White moved that a com mi ttee be set up to start a fund - raising drive for Ben that would e ntail not only raising the money but re- imbur sing it a lso. The motion was seconded and a committee was appointed to contact the people who have promised money and collect the $1000.

The International Club, which was in charge of investigating the ways and means of posting the money for t he bond, has pledged $300 towards the fund for Ben. Individual contributors have pr;omised $400 and a group of three, including a Palomar instructor and an Escondido doctor, have pledged $100 each, which makes up the $1000.

Immediate plans of the ICC are to purchase the bond and then make fundraising plans to re-imburse the contributors.

By Steven A. Kruege r At the junc tur e of the academic year, t he time has come to just do a little "lookin' round ".

This is what I see .

Ghanian foreign student, Ben Appiah, appears to have won his battle to continue his education at Palomar College, thanks to the generosity and benevolence of the International Club, area adults, and a Palomar instructor.

Ben's battle was scheduled to be fought and, hopefully, won by members of student goverment. A very well intentioned plan was submitted by George Anderson, a close personal fri end of Ben's to have the "Fabulous 40" lead the campaign to have the Associated Students of Palomar sponsor the young African. This failed apparently, to bring forth contributions from aforementioned sources.

Student Government can still win the battle by repaying those contributors who are sponsoring Ben. The money, then belonging to the students of Palomar, could be used to financ e another foreign student after Ben moves on to earn his doctor's degree in medicine.

Even if this idea is not used by the student government leade rs, they deserve a great deal of credit for at least establishing committees to find ways to sponsor Ben. Ben, and his country, thank thostJ who hav'3 helped him.

last and, unfortunately most neglected holidays of the year. The simple thought of Thanksgiving seems to have been lost in the rush of merchants to suck the first dollars in an early rush for Christmas gifts.

Santa began arriving at local stores as early as two weeks ago.

Christmas decorations s lyly began to appear atop the Escondido Mall about the same tim e .

The sale of Christmas cards and decorations began late in October at most stores.

A r ecent television advertisement admonishes children to ask Mommy and Daddy for a Whiz-Bang Sockum for Christmas.

To all too many people, Thanksgiving has become just another paid holiday that comes near the end of November that separates Halloween from Christmas.

Thursday, for a change, we should think a little about why we students are granted a holiday from school. Perhaps, if we ourselves begin to honor the spirit and reason for Thanksgiving, the older folks will get the hint and take a lesson from their children.

Have a happy holiday.

Student dramatist to present play; "Saturday Adoption" aired Dec. 4 A member of the student generation will have a major dramatic e ntry on television the night of December 4.

The CBS Playhouse production of that night comes from the pen of Ron Cowen, 23, who's currently winding up work on his master's degree at the Annenberg School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Till now, CBS Playhouse ha s presented only top TV dramatists, such as Reginald Rose and JP Miller. But the network and sponsor, General Telephone & Electronics, have long wante<i to find a new, you ng author for this series.

Cowen had written his first fulllength play, "Summertree," during the 1966-67 academic yea r. After e ight months of work, he'd sent the co mpleted script to Jerome Law r e nce, under whom he'd taken a playwrighting course at U.C.L. A. (Cowen had started college at Ohio State, transferred when his family moved from Cincinnati to Los Angeles.

Lawrence sent the sc~ipt to the Eugene O'Neill Foundation in Connecticut, where it was given a try-out performance in the summer of 1967.

The play, "Saturday :\doption," derives from Cowen·s own experience. In the script, Rich, a co llege student, tutors a H-year-old Negro hoy, !\lac y. Soon he ' s sharing his dream s of future possibiliti es with the lad. to whom optimism is an oddity.

CBS producers saw it there , got in touch with Cowen. and askecl him to Wl'ite an original for CGS Playhouse.

He's the you ngest dramatist ever commissioned l.Jy the network.

Cowe n says he wishes the cstahlishect generation would listen more to what the younger generation has to say and not care so much about ha i I' len!!:th, dress, and other trivia. He likes TV as a vehicle of expression because' it reaches people where they are (30-million of them watched "The Pt>ople Next Door, • the generation-conflict drama on the last CBS Playhouse).

How did he do it, getting his second script on TV's most august dramatic program even before he'd l'arnccl his Masters?

"I was lucky," says Cowen.

The

new virtue of indifference?

Let's hear it for mediocrity.

Throughout the period of student revolt which has been sweeping the campuses of California and the nation, one theme keeps recurring. "These are merely the actions of a vocal minority. Most students just want to attend their classes in peace."

Unfortunately, we are not living in a time of peace. The world is in a state of turmoil and change as intense as any in history. Events are occuring every day in every corner of the globe which affect every living man. The names of young men are filed and waiting in the steelcase cabinets of draft boards throughout the country. Young people ride in Paddy wagons past throngs ofdrunken skid row derelicts and pond er the penalties of pot. Disenfranchised students learn the virtues of democracy and see the thwarting of the democratic process nationally televised .

The quaint and peaceful time of colleges filled with absent mind ed but loveable professors and clean-cut, funloving, panty-raiding, trike racing students is fast disappearing--a part of the fading "American Dream".

Waking from a happy dream is never very pleasan~ and so it is not surprising that when a few students start to shake the bed, the groggy public lashes out.

By Jim Strain But for the love of God! The house is on fire! Why compli ment those who, smelling the smoke, bury their noses deeper in to a book.

Once comfor tably lodged in an institution of learning, it is the easiest thing in the world to atte nd class, study, take examinations, and graduate. It's not impossible to go to college for four years and read nothing but text books and the sports page of the school paper.

Of course the prime purpose of any serious student is to get an education, but the complex make- up of modern society can no longer allow the type of academic production lines which came into vogue in the post- war years. We must re-examine what it is we want from our colleges and universities, and, having

decided that, we the students must set out to get it.

Let there be no m isunderstand ing.

I do not condone the type of senseless violence which has characteri zed some forms of student activism, but I do condemn the much- praised "average student" who wan t s no part of protest and who has isolated himself so successfully from real ity that any sort of change becomes repugnant to him.

If anyone is alarmed by the direction being taken by a segment of his society or society itself, then it is his duty to protest at the top of hi s lungs instead of smi li ng smugly and reapi ng praise for hi s docile acceptance of the status quo. Praise of one's mediocrity is a small compli ment.
