Shadle, Kornhauser win easily in board election

Milo Shadle

Richard Kornhauser

Milo Shadle and Richard Kornhauser won easy re-election Tuesday as they defeated challengers Tom Hawthorne and Byron Peterson for two seats on the Palomar board of governors. Shadle and Kornhauser, both incumbents, swept to easy victory in a race that had become partisan in nature as the days of the campaign drew to a close. All four candidates had appeared in a panel discussion and press conference

Publication policy defined j~rnw~ rnoo~rn~~~ at student board meeting Members of the Student Publications Board met recently in an effort to define the publication policy of THE TELESCOPE. At a previous meeting Theodore Kilman Dean of Adult Education and Community Services and former head of the Communications Department, mentioned that a "Publications Policy" had already been established some years ago and that it covered the points in question; specifically political advertising, religious advertising and local off-campus news. The revised publications policy reads as follows: 1. The quality of a college newspaper depends on the accuracy of its coverage. 2. College news should maintain the rigid standards of the professional newspaper by eliminating all distortion of facts and misinterpretation of direct quotes. 3. Reportage should emphasize clarity, simplicity, and honesty. 4. Within the framework of school coverage, sensationalism, glorification and favoritism should not be tolerated. 5. All publicity should be paid for at regularly established rates. 6. Coverage of national or international occurrences should be governed by the proximity of the event and the direct

relationship of the event to the students. These events should be considered when they occur on campus or are brought into the college program directly. 7. Advertising for political candidates at the local or national level or for student body candidates shall not be accepted. The new portions of the code are: 8. Religious advertising shall be prohibited . 9. Publication oflocal off-campus events shall be at the discretion of the editorin-chief of the involved publication. Steve Schneider, former TELESCOPE editor and publication board member proposed #6 of the Publications Policy be considered for re-writing. It was decided that Schneider should re-write this section of the policy and present it as the first item on the agenda at the next meeting of the group. According to Schneider the revision will read, "Coverage of national or international occurrences shall be at the discretion of the editor-in-chief of the involved publication." In other action, the Student Publications Board approved Mrs. Victoria Richardson as student editor of Bravura, the school's literary magazine.

Hypnotist Dean performs before record audience "As a teacher, I hate all forms of ignorance and stupidity. Ignorance is the lack of the truth, but stupidity is the refusal to change one's opinion in the face of demonstratable facts to the contrary," said Dr. Michael Dean in a special assembly here Wednesday. The famed hypnotist performed to a standing-room-only crowd in the student union. The famed nightclub performer, who in real life is Dr. Sanford L. Berman, University of California lecturer in semantics and communications, explained his fascination with a subject which in the minds of many is still associated with the mysterious. "As a semanticist, I am interested in the influence on individuals of the verbalization of others. We see this every day in the form of advertising. Hypnosis is the most extreme form of language controlling behavior. "In order to really believe in hypnosis you have to see it. This is the reason for going into show business as a hypnotist. Hypnosis is real, but you have to see it to believe it." Starting his demonstration with 40 student volunteers, 15 were found to be good subjects and were retained on stage for the performance. Once under the influence of the hypnotist, the subjects were completely open to suggestion, that is, they could be made to believe whatever the hypnotist told them to be true, and they acted then accordingly. "Were you hypnotized this morning?" he asked one of his subjects. "I don't think so," replied the subject. "Perhaps not, but you have to go to the bathroom," Dr. Dean told him. The subject smiled weakly but soon began to displ'ay the obvious discomfort with which everyone is familiar. After about three minutes, the student was doubled over in his chair. After removing

the suggestion, Dr. Dean again asked the student if he had been hypnotized. "I guess so." Dr. Dean then took his subjects on a "magical mystery tour" of their emotions, telling them to their laughter that they were in the funniest movie they had ever seen, and to their tears that the movie had suddenly become very s ad. At this point, it was discovered that several people in the audience were also susceptible to hypnosis when they began to cry at Dr. Dean's suggestion. After Dr. Dean's performance, he gave his subjects post-hypnotic suggestions which they could apply in their day to day living. Dr. Berman received his PhD from Northwestern University and was professor of semantics at the University of Chicago where he was the succesor to the chair of Dr. S.I. Hayakawa when the latter moved to San Francisco State. Author of six booklets and with a larger work in progress, he is a popular lee- . turer in communications at UCSD.

last Friday to answer questions put forth by the students. In the questioning, victors Shadle and Kornhauser supported a special program of Chicano studies. In addition, both had expressed confidence in student government, Shadle recommending a student to be an ex-officio member of the board. Kornhauser, however, said that such a plan would be effective only if more than eight per cent of the students take part in the election of ASB officers. Vote totals for the election are: Shadle 9897; Kornhauser 9405; Peterson 6357; and Hawthorne 5851. In another race relevant to Palomar students, Rita White, an incumbent board member in Poway, was defeated in her re-election bid. Shadle said that he regarded his victory as "not a personal victory." "I look on it as a big vote of confidence for Palomar College. The people of the district are happy with the college and what we are doing." Kornhauser, the other incumbent winner said "I will continue to do my best providing a good education for the young people of the district. I will attempt to remain sensitive to the voice of the college as well as the voice of the district." Mortgage broker Byron Peterson reacted to his defeat at the polls by stating that "The e lected people are on notice that the voters of the area want good representation and expect a good performance."

"The taxpayers have only them to look to for guidance. I hope the board will not let the district down but will make us all proud of Palomar College." After conceding defeat, the camp of J. T. Hawthorne released the following statement. "I wish to express my appreciation to all the voters who supported my candidacy for trustee at Palomar Junior College. I would like to congratulate Mr. Shadle and Mr. Kornhauser and assure them and the voters that I will continue my interests and support of Palomar Junior College." The candidacy of the two incumbents received the endorsement of THE TELESCOPE, the faculty senate, ASB Council, and the Escondido Daily Times Advocate.

Dr. Michael Dean performed to a standing-room-only crowd Wednesday. The 15 students who proved to be good

subjects performed such antics as a rhythmical male strip act and an almost real Andy Williams, Dave Puckett, above.

Speakers stress medical ethics Attorney Louis Welsh and state narcotics agent Howard Best recently addressed a class in Advanced Nursing Problems here. Welsh spoke on his experience in dealing with malpractice suits and legal problems with which the members of the medical professions are faced. The responsibilities of nurses in handling narcotics and dangerous drugs was Best's topic. The agent stressed that the laws of the state are explicit on the use of such drugs and warned that nurses must be extremely competent in their use for record keeping.

"I want you to pretend that you're Leslie Caron, the famous ballet dancer," Dean said, and an instant star was born!
