Dr. Huber analyzes student movement By Steven A. Krueger Confrontations between the police, other authorities, and students have occurred in many colleges across the country. Yet amidst the nation-wide turmoil and dissent, Palomar College has remained relatively untouched, as unaware of what is going on around it. There must be a reason for this pleasant campus amidst growing troubles. This reporter asked Dr. Frederick Huber, president of the college, what he thought were the reason,s behind campus unrest at other colleges. "First of all, I think that the students on campus are generally reflecting the problems and the ills that occur in society. "Secondly, I feel that the educational institution whose responsibility it is to really transmit culture and the intel-
Student editor to attend hearing on student unrest As campuses throughout the state seethe with student unrest and activism, the state legislature began a new series of hearings last week on the cause of the troubles. Headed by Leucadia Assemblyman John Stull (R), the hearings are being conducted by the As sembly Sub-Committee on Educational Environment. The probe comes in response to a growing outcry by the state administration and the public against the open and sometimes violent conflict between students and officials that has recently been making headlines throughout the country. The sub-committee has scheduled six public hearings to provide information and background for the remainder of the investigation. The first three hearings, which have already been held, received testimony from regents, faculty and administrative officials ofthe University of California, California State Colleges and various junior college districts. Monday's hearing will involve testimony from student organizations and individual students. By invitation of Assemblyman Stull, TELESCOPE editor Steve Krueger will attend the Monday night session in Sacramento,offer his vie w and the views of students and organizations here who care to issue a statement for the sub-committee, The final two hearings will host Theodore Meriam, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the California State Col leges, and police and law enforcement representatives. Of the hearings Stull said, "We are meeting neither to vindicate nor to blame. Rather we seek to find ways and means to effect improvement in the present educational environment. All legitimate goals will be recognized within the framework of an orderly educational system within an orderly society." An independ ent group of Palomar students has drafted a petition for Krueger to take with him to the Assembly hearing Monday night. The statement on the petition reads: "We students of Palomar College seriously question the ability of Assemblyman John Stull, whose public statements have repeatedly expressed strong bias against those behind the movement, to head any objective study of student unrest in colleges and universities of the State of California." It will be available today in the Student Union at 11:15 for further signatures.
lectual values that our society possesses to a corning generation has probably not kept pace with the techniques, and with the things that are happening outside the campus or in society. Having not related those things to what is going on, we have, to a certain degree, turned off a number of young people. "This turning-off process means that they feel we're not concerned about it. This is unfortunate. I don't think this is true. I am not unconcerned with what is happening. "They, these students today, are still very idealistic. They want to know why we don't have solutions to poverty, why we don't have solutions to war,and why we don't have solutions to racism ... why we don't solve these problems. There isn't any easy answer, but they feel perhaps that we aren't doing enough about
So there is the basic problem, I it. think, which the institutions have got to recognize do exist. In other words, the fact that a young boy is going to go to Vietnam is pretty realistic ..• Therefore, it's relative to him. And if the campus does not provide a relationshiP. then we aren't really with it. "So I think there is a great deal of legitimacy to a great number of the complaints young people have, and I think our own profession should be critical of itself in facing up to these things. "Secondly, I think, there is a hard core, it seems to me, militant group who have found that success is achieved by violence, civil disobedience. I don't' approve of it. I don't believe that's the way to solve it, and I recognize that this type of approach is alienating a great number of people who are on
the outside and who don't relate to legitimacy of student complaints and the hard core group who want to merely disrupt perhaps or to stop altogether without offering really concrete suggestions, concrete, constructive things to do. "So that those of us who find ourselves between these two groups of wide opinion are trying to relate the differences that lie between the two different roads. "I would hope we're on the way to solving many of these problems ... I think many institutions are going to have problems simply because they have sheer numbers. Just the impact of numbers on the campus is one thing. "I feel that here at P~tlornar we should be able to be doing something right now that we would like to be doing, five or ten years from now. We ought
to be smart enough, intellectual enough, thoughtful, reasoning enough to really meet these things head on. I think our population here ought to know as conpletely as they can what is happening. "I feel that we here were alert three years ago. We had a humanities lecture program on the Negro in Society-A Perspective. We brought people down here because we felt that this college community ought to know what the baekground is. And we covered in all the areas we possibly could so that this is the type of approach . It is very difficult, after the fact, to do something, after it has occurred, after the confrontation has come about to really sit down and talk. "So I would like to see that we try and now think seriously about things we ought to do."

Du BAY DEFROCKED
Ex-priest to discuss religious change Reasons for his rebellion of the Roman Catholic Church and consequent dismissal from his duties as a priest will be discussed by William Du Bay Monday at 10 a.m. in the Student Union. Du Bay's talk on "Social Crisis and Religious Change" is a presentation of the Community Services lecture series under the direction of Theodore Kilman, asst. dean of instruction, adult education and community service. William Du Bay
Oceanside captures oratory sweepstakes
In 1964 Du Bay disputed with Cardinal Mcintyre over the role of the Church in the racial issue, and in a letter sent directly to Pope Paul VI, requested the removal of Mcintyre as Archbishop of Los Angeles. Following publication of his first book, "The Human Church", in February, 1966, Du Bay was suspended. He had shortly
before presented a paper at the Center for Study of Democratic Institutions proposing the fo rmation of professional unions for clergymen. Du Bay is generally recognized as the leading symbol of dissent within the Church, and his articles and books are widely publicized . In another of the lecture series presentations, scientist and economist Dr. Albert Burke will speak Wednesday at 8 p.m. All lectures are free of charge.
Beginning with Monday's speech by Father William DuBay, the snack bar will remain in operation even though the speaker is being heatd in the Student Union. The closure of the snack barhaslong been a complaint of students during the
lecture series programs. Previously students were denied access to the bookstore, cafeteria, and snack bar. No mention was made of the bookstore and the cafeteria will remain closed, but the snack bar will be open for business as usual. "It seemed like we were forcing students to attend the lectures ", said ASB president Lloyd Walker. "Concerned students carne to me and asked why it couldn't stay open and I couldn't answer them." The 3<! year old ex-MartneASBpresident said that this action is an example of his philosophy of "ASB Government in Motion." "Th1s is an example of what can happen when students take an interest in their school and then come to their elective officials for help."
Oceanside High School captured the Sweepstakes award in the Palomar Oratorical Festival last Saturday. University High of San Diego placed second. Orange Glen High of Escondido took third place, and Escondido High placed fourth.
New additions improve Student Union;
Over 100 high school speech stud ents took part In the contest. Nine north county schools and University High, which was specially invited, entered teams in four categories of competition. The categories were apalysis, dramatic interpretation, oratory, and humorous interpretation.
Two new additions to the Student Union will be making their appearance in the very near future. Supplied by the Oceanside Music Company , the juke box will be located in the northeast-corner of the Student Union and will carry all the top 40 hits.
Individual winners in the analysis division were: Rick Schwartz, University, first place; Debbie Bidwell, Oceanside, second place; and Marc Seibrietch, University, third place. First place winner in dramatic interpretation was Nancy Crass of Oceanside. Debbie Easley of Escondido High placed second, and Donna Greer of Oceanside placed third.
According to Jim Vaught, ASB Vicepresident, a juke-box and a bulletin board will soon be installed for student use . The machine is the one song for a dime, three for a quarter variety and the company will supply seven new records each week. Vaught commented that the machine cost the ASB nothing and that it will receive fifty per cent of the profit from it. All the money received from the use of the juke box will go into a special fund designed to make improvements on the Student Union facility. A committee consisting of ASB president Lloyd Walker, Vaught, Dean Robert Bowman and Mrs. Alice Coulter, cafeteria food manager, will determine the volume the juke box will be played.
University High students took all the awards in the oratorical division. Winners were: Rick Schwartz, first place; Wes Merritt, second place; and Marc Seibrietch, third place. The Oceanside team made a clean sweep of awards in the humorous class. Greg Hull placed first; Nancy Crass, second; and Molly Hatter, third.
iuke-box group to enforce noise level Needless to say, those trying to study will now have a more difficult time than ever. Vaught recommended that those wishing to study in the future should use the library. The juke box could be in operation by next week. The bulletin board will be a 4 ft.
by 8 ft. one, divided into three sections. one of the sections will be for ASB notices while the other two sections will be for student notices, advertisements etc. The bulletin board will probably be located near the north door to the Student Union, putting it in clear vision of those entering and leaving the building.
Myron Carter, 1967 open expert cycle champ, goes over the jump at a race
in Gardena, California. Carter is riding a Triumph 650cc TT special motorcycle.
Freshman Carter is motorcycle open expert Racing motorcycles on a dirt track, Myron Carter, Palomar freshman, has established himself as a champion racer. Carter rides a Triumph 650 cc TT Special in the open expert class, competing against much older and more experienced racers. In 1967 he rode his way into the championship of San Diego and Imperial counties making himself the youngest racer to ever win the championship in this area. In 1961 when he was eleven years old Carter first carne into contact with motorcycles. His first machine was a Mustang which looked as much like a scooter as a cycle. About the time he wa.s 13 and most kids were riding skateboards, he was riding a Triumph 200cc machine around the hills near his horne in Poway. Carter's father purchased a Triumph 65 0cc machine around this time and he was able to use this machine. Finally in the summer of 1965 at the age of 15 he entered his first race. Mounting a Bultaco Metesse 250cc, he
By Torn Anderson raced in the 250cc novice class. By. January of 1966 he had moved up to the· amateur class. Winning consistently, he soon moved up to the expert class and was ready to go to a bigger machine. In the 1966 racing season he raced two times on his Triumph 650cc in the open expert class. With the start of the 1967 racing season Carter came on the track and won races. At the season's end he was the Champion. Carter gives credit to the late Travis E. Petton, professional racer, for sparking his interest in racing and giving him advice. Petton was later killed while racing in Los Angeles . Although he races TT scrambles most of the time, he has tried other types of motorcycle racing. Aside from TT racing he has tried road racing and 50 mile rough scrambles races. Ca rter said he has never been seriously injured while racing although he has had some close calls. Relating one such experience he said he was leading the third race at the Dehesa track when
his rear tire locked up due to engine failure. Following close behind, another racer hit him and ran both his bike and himself over. Carter carne out of the accident uninjured while the other rider broke his leg in two places. Another disastrous moment occurred while he was racing in the 250cc class. According to Carter, while he was leading the race on the last lap he pulled an exhibition wheel stand approaching the finish line. Traveling about 50 mph, his bike carne over backwards, strewing both his bike and himself all over the track. In his racing clothes, Carter looks like a masked bandit, wearing a helmet, goggles, a leather jacket, gloves, and a red scarf over his face. Some pu\:>lications have come to call him "the red baron" because of the scarf he wears. Not reflecting on the aforementioned title, Carter more oiten than not shoots down everyone in sight while on the track.
