On Wednesday, October 15 there will be efforts nation-wide to have a moratorium on business - as- usual so as to launch the first of a new round of protests against the Vietnam War. Many activities will be taking place: peace rallies, teach-ins, debates town meetings, leafleting, vigils, etc. In a limited way, Palomar College, too, will engage in this moratorium by holding "Open Hours" from ll a.m . - 1 p.m. on October 15. During the two-hour session various activities will take place around the campus , in an attempt to get the entire student body involved with the Vietnam War protest. Climaxing the school activities will be a mass procession to the peace rally at Glen Park in Cardiff. A motion was passed last Tuesday by both the Administrative Council and the faculty allowing for the suspension of business-as usual on campus ''with the understanding that those instructors who are so inclined could dismiss class during these hours. Hopefully, persons with varying points of view would be encouraged to participate. '' Students should check with their instructors to find whether classes will be dismissed during these hours, and, if so, they will be free to participate in moratorium-related activities.

SNAP (Student Nurse's Association, Palomar) held its first monthly meeting recently. Business was primarily concerned with acquainting freshman students with the organization and the benefits de rived from membership in it. It was pointed out that SNAP members enjoy reduced rates in ''The American
Journal of Nurses" a periodical which is a "must" for a ll nursing students, and that malpractice insurance is also issued at a reduced premium rate.

During the year, SNAC sponsors many informative seminars, featuring speake rs in different fields of medic ine. Frequently,students e njoy dinner at designated resturants between sessions, which affords an opportunity for r e laxation as well as study.
