Speaker policy pending review by committee Current campus speaker policies will be reviewed soon by a special committee. Under the chairmanship of Mr. Gene Jackson, head of the English department, a committee is being formed to evaluate the present policy for controversial speakers. This action has been brought about by the Peace and Freedon club's desire to bring a Black Panther· on campus to speak. According .to Mr. Jackson, the committee will consist of four voting members and three non-voting members. The voting members will include two from the faculty, one from the student body, and one from the administration. Other non-voting members will include one member from the administration, the faculty, and student body. Presently the controversial speaker policy has restrictions . on what the speaker may say. Section five of the speaker policy reads: A specific topic shall be selected. (Propaganda or advocacy is prohibited.) A second speaker for the purpose of presenting a balancing viewpoint shall be provided .... The present policy also states that no speaker or topic shall reflect upon citizens of the United States of America because of their race, color, or creed, nor shall advocacy or propaganda (inimical to the welfare of the United States of America or its elected officials) be permitted. Under these regulations it would be impossible to have a speaker such as aBlack Panther on campus.

at Palomar following several weeks of administration, faculty, and board study of the student probation system. The new rules, to become effective in September, 1969, establish a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 as a minimum before the student is placed on probation. The present minimum is 1. 75 on a scale of 4. Under the new system, a student on academic probation and earning less than a 2.0 average in a regular semester, and if he has a cumulative deficiency of more than 10 grade points on all college work, will be disqualified and not reinstated until one semester has elapsed. However, a student who has been disqualified for academic reasons may attend a summer session. Probation will disqualify a student from serving as a member of student government, from holding any campus organization office, and from being eligible for part-time college employment. A student would be removed from academic probation when his cumulative grade point average reached a minimum of 2.0.

* * * Today is the deadline for students requesting transfer to San Diego State College at mid-year to complete counseling appointments. Due to overcrowding SDS will accept only students with 60 or more units who are recommended by a Palomar College counselor. Monday is the final deadlinefor submitting applications for admission to SDS. Applications may be obtained from Mr. Robert Larson, chairman of t he counseling department, in room A-63.
Despite the depressing and fatalistic stories appeari ng recently in much of the press concerning the situation at San Diego State College, there is hope for the over 100 Palomar students eligible to transfer to the state college system. In response to the anguished cries from the five junior colleges in the county, State is opening its doors to about 250 transfer students. A quota of 30 has been set for this campus. StudAnts will be selected upon interviews by counselors and then recommended to the state college for acceptance. Dave Larson, .of the counseling department, said that State is acting for its area schools by accepting a limited number of transfer students. As of last week, about 25 students had been interviewed and reccomended for transfer. Eligibility is the key factor. The most qualified students a nd those who have completed all possible courses at Palomar will be recom nwr.ueJ . Six state colleges are still accepting all junior college transfer students, due to a lack of the over~:::-owding conditions found at State and its 11 sister schools closed to transfers and freshmen enrollment. The open schools are: Cal State, Los Angeles; Domingos Hills College (near L.A.); San Bernardino; Hayward College; Stanislaus; and Cal Poly P omona. Information concerning these schools is available in the counseling A plan for concurrent registr.a tion for some classes at State and some at Palomar is under study, according to Mr. Larson. Such a plan is unfeasible for either Palomar or MiraCosta, however. "Palomar and MiraCosta recommend that all students be full time students," he said. All students qualified for entrance as a transfer student to a state college will be 1'ecommended to State, regardless . of the quota. Therefore, students who
desire to transfer for the spring semes ter at State should immediately see their counselor for an interview and recommendation. Mr. Larson said that if State holds to its quota policy, some students may have to be cut from the list of recommendations. Further information is available from the counselors

Students in ceramics classes Will display their wares and offer them for purchase.

In the same area, a special exhibit will be shown of the art work of evening class students, Barlow said, and some of their products also will be available for purchase. The "Pot Sale" collection will include many sizes and varieties of ceramics, including bottles, bowls, ash trays, cups, decorative hangings, planters, and various decorator objects. Barlow said a percentage of the sale proceeds will go to the Student Guild fund for benefit of students enrolled in art classes .
Farm worker director explains labor strike Fred Martinez, San Diego Information Director for the striking United Farm Workers Organizing Committee spoke here last Wednesday in a presentation sponsored by the Newman Club. Mr. Martinez explained the motivation behind the strike and the national boycott of California table grapes to an audience of about 50 students and instructors. The spokesman for the union also gave a background history of the agricultural movement in California. Listing the main demands of the strikers, Mr. ::vrartinez stressed that as the law stands now, agricultural workers are not covered by unemployment insurance, are not included under the National Labor Relations Act and are not included in some Social Security programs. Mr. Martinez said that it was deemed necessary to call for a national boycott of table grapes when it became evident that the strikers could not maintain an effective picket line due to the presence of Mexican Nationals (green card workers) who were invited in to harvest the crop. One of the first demands to be made
by a striking group 'When a grower agrees to negotiate, said the farm labor speaker, was an end to the labor contractor system. The contractor, known to the workers as a "coyote", acts as a sort of middle man between the grower and the labor force. He is paid by the grower and, in turn, he issupposed to pay the workers but, according to Mr. Martinez, a large part of the payroll often ends up in the hands of the contractor himself. Usurious company type stores and loan shark operations are not uncommon among contractors, claims Mr. Martinez, and thus, he says, the already meager existance of the workers is whittled away still further. The lecture began on a note of tension as a small band of protesters in sympathy with the growers marched in carrying a full lug conspicuouiily marked "California Table Grapes." The protesters seated themselves in the front of the room and ate grapes throughout Mr. Martinez's presentation. They did nothing more overt than that, however and after the initial shock were largely ignored by the rest of the audience.
