Progam evaluation by student body set for tomorrow Tomorrow at 10 a.m., students will be asked to take part in a program evaluation sponsored by the ASB leaders.

Questions in the evaluation were drawn up by members of student government under the direction of ASB president Kim Clark . The five page poll covers interest areas of students in the fields of student government, clubs and activities, curriculum, and general fields.

Part one of the poll covers the interests of students and asks the student to pick his favorite interests. The same format is used for the section on student government, where students may also offer general comments to the effectiveness of the ASB leadership. A question is also included on the student court question.

Part three covers curriculum and classes. The first question asks, "I am satisfied with the curr1culum at PJC. "(yes, no, no opinion) Questions are also asked concerning counseling and credit or no credit class.es, a recent idea being tried in some junior colleges.

Credit or no credit classes , according to president Clark, allow students to take classes for credit, but if they fail the class, it is not held against them in their records. This method differs from the pass-fail method, which is illegal. This method is, according to Clark, legal.

A question is also included which asks students if they are members of a club, student government, or campus group.

If the student is not, then the poll asks why.

Students will also be asked if they would like to see off- campus news reported in the TELESCOPE .

The final two pages are offered to find more s tudents interested in taking part in ASB or club activities. These ask for names and addresses, but they are not mandatory.

President Clark asks students not to vote against something simply because they do not take part in it. "I don't play football, but I am going to vote for intercollegiate sports ." Results of the poll will be used to make up the ASB budget ( see letter, Page two) and to formulate plans for the spring semester.

Bulletins have been given to all instructors instructing them to allow all their students to take part in the poll tomorrow. For students who do not have a 10 a.m. class, polling stations will be set up at both the periodical and regular library entrances.

FROM THE RIGHT SIDE

Can we forget iustice?

By Steven A. Krueger The insurrection on the campus of San Francisco State College may seem far away and unrelated to Palomar Students, but the actions of the militant Black Students Union and Students for a Democratic Society have denied the prospect of higher education for many qualified second year students.

Nov. 5, the voters of this state rejected a financing plan which would have given the state college system much needed funds to expand or at least continue education operations . The actions of a vocal minority on the bay area campus influenced the voters to such a point that they refused the chance for an education for the majority of students.

Responsible dissent is one thing--lawlessness is something e lse. Lawlessness is what confronted Dr. S.I. Hayakawa, acting president of the war torn campus.

Dr. Hayakawa was confronted with two alternatives to the violence on campus: give in to the demands of the few criminals ruining the campus, or crack down on them. He chose the latter decision, and the students of S. F. State are continuing their education despite the efforts of the hoodlums who tried to take over the campus.

Last Thursday, a group of protestors stormed the administration building toward the offices of the Canadian-born semanticist. Police with drawn pistols turned them back. A brief case which fell from the grasp of a student was found to contain an explosive devise and a loaded . 45 automatic pistol. What would these criminals have done if they had reached the president's office?

Members of the vocal protest groups

cry that there are no rights for the individual on campus. Dr. Hayakawa is protecting the rights of ALL the students on the campus. not the supposed rights of a handful of criminals. It is with the majority that protection must lie.

The right to lawfully protest is unalienable, but the actions of the BSU and SDS groups are a disgrace to that right.

Protest does not come from the barrel of a gun.

Dr. Hayakawa is a man of great strength. He demonstrated this by his courageous stand against the anarchists who tried to overthrow his administration. When the time comes to choose a permanent president of the college, Dr. S.I. Hayakawa should be the first name on the list to be considered.

He would provide the type of leadership that the immature minorities of that campus need.

As for the protestors, the state wide law should be passed that makes it a felony to incite insurrection or disord er on a publicly financed coll ege anywhere in the state. All students who incite their fellows to such action deserve immediate and irrevocable suspension from all publicly financed colle ges in the state. Further, the records and transcripts of those students should be destroyed, so that no other college nor employer can make use of the m, should the insurrectionist try to be admitted out of state or to a private college.

We cannot forget "justice", as so many of the demonstrators scream. These actions should be taken only after proper due process before school discipline, either from the administration or a student court.

The ASB Budget ammounts (sic) to about $90 ,000 annually. This is the money that the student body receives from bookstore profits, ASB Card sales, athletic events, and a few miscellaneous incomes.

Each spring students (mostly from student government), Robert Bowman, Dean of Student Activities, Dr. John Schettler, Palomar Finance Director, and various faculty representatives formulate a new budget for the coming year. Each year the budget seems to "get balanced."

In reality, however, the ASB has spent increasingly MORE in the past few years than it has earned . This year the student body officers were shown a list of expenses, to the tune of $5 0,000, which the District pays, and which the District claims should be the responsibility of the Associated Students.

Briefly, then, the Palomar ASB is earning about $90,000 this year, and spending about $140,000. As any business major might point out, this is not good finance.

The District cannot and rightfully should not be burdened with this increasing drain on their coffers. Recall that Palomar College lost a tax-override last year. Up to now, however, Dr. Schettler a nd the District have footed our bills, while praying that something or someone would come along and end it a ll. ( Imagine what the District could do with their $50,000 -- perhaps new classes, or more instructors, or that new swimming pool we've been looking for ... ) It appears that

NOW is the time to tackle this problem, before it increases still more.

There will have to be serious budge ting considerations this yea r, if the students hope to r egain financial respect for the following years.

In some cases programs mav have to be altered . Greater financial independ ence will be stressed in those areas where organizations can earn their own money. A written agreement should be formulated with the District outlining ASB and District financial obligations. In all areas, un-necessary "extras", "frills", or overspending will have to be eliminated. And we must look to the bookstore for greater profits.

It will not be easy to assume a budget which fits our income. But it is necessary that everyone--students , faculty , and administration--realize that we students do not have the resources to finance an ASB program comparable to larger, wealthier student bodies.

It is one thing to say "we will cut expenses", and another to determine where and how much they will be cut.

So the student body government this fall will be polling hundreds of students about their opinions concerning the ASB program .

A detailed "ASB Program Evaluation" is scheduled forWednesday, December 11th, at 10:00 a.m. in all classes. Through this questionaire, each student will be able to aid in promoting or killing ASB items, many of which cost the ASB a great deal of money.

The importance of the results of the Program Evaluation is beyond words.

With this poll's help, with your help,

whether you are the stude nt who fills it out or the faculty member who stresses its importance to his students, it will be possible for the Student Body to regain its integrity and independence.

When you receive your copy of the "Program Evaluation" on Wednesday, give it much thought.

Ask yourself the importance and value of the items listed. And express your conclusions.

It is only with the serious participation and help of many students that the ASB will be able to formulate an accurate, well-balanced budget.

Dear Editor, Praise and thanks to you and your staff for keeping us informed on Ben Appiah, The Telescope is covering Ben's misfortunes and his popularity on this campus, and after reading your editorials, we should all hang our heads in shame that we, the readers of the paper, can't find a way to get our fellow students to all give at leas t something to help Ben the way the International Club, area adults, a Palomar instructor, and the Telescope have donated.

I think what our campus needs now is a strong push to give, organize, and work for Ben and our students must feel the need to help, and I'm sure that if a centrally located collection box with a sign "Ben Needs Your Help," would reach the real side of Palomar students.
