ASB holds another election ••• By ~arilyn Olson Elections are being held today to make two amendments to the ASB Constitution. Polls will be open in the Student Union and at the Art Complex from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. This action is the result of the invalidation of the election of ASB officers held January 9.

The constitutional amendment are appearing on the ballots as iollows: 1. All candidates seeking office on the Associated Student Body Council shall have a grade point average of 2. 5 in not less than 12 units of work for the semester preceeding nomination, with the exception of freshman class president and representatives~ at-larger whose grade point average will be established on last high school semester or college semester of work.

2. The regularly elected officers of the Associated Student Body shall be elected at a regular election, to be held prior to the end of the semester inwhich nominations take place, to serve the term of the ensuing college semester.

The constitution presently prohibits freshmen from holding any office other than freshman class president. The re-

VlSlOn will open the representative· atr large posts to freshman as well as sophomore students.

Also stipulated in the present constitution, is the fact that elections must be held two weeks prior to finals. The second revision would remove thi s time element.

Nominations for special elections of ASB officers opened Wednesday, following a meeting of the Elections and Credentials Committee. They will be open until noon Monday.

SPECIAL ELECTION The special election is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.

Polling places for Tuesday will be in the Student Union and the Art Complex from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Wednesday, the polls will be open during the same time period in the Student Union and in front of P-32 due to the finals.

Anyone desiring to file for candidacy may do so. Freshman and sophomore students may submit their names for nomination fo r the nine representative at large posts. All nominations must be

submitted to the office of the Dean of Student Activities.

Following today's constitutional amendment election, the Elections and Credentials Committee will tally the ballots, and then on the basis of the outcome of the election, will review the candidates listed so far .

ELECTION CHALLENGED Monday, following the election, during the regular meeting of the ASB, Frank Mott, ASB president, challenged the validity of the election. The council turned the matter over to the Judicial Committee, headed by Judicial Chairman Timothy Messer.

"I contested the election," explained Mott, "because of non-compliance to the Elections Code. I appeared before the Elections and Credentials Committee the day they were meeting and I told them to make sure of the candidates' eligibility especially regarding the two required meeting and having a 2.5 GPA. I did not see a copy of the minutes of that meeting until the following Monday morning, January 12. After checking applications, it was determined that some

of the candidates had not established a 2.5 GPA." Continuing, Mottnoted, "Members of the Election and Credentials Committee had wavered the requirements which cannot be done~ These are the requirements I challenged."

In the special three- hour meeting held Monday afternoon, Messer and his committee ruied the elections invalid because of the interpretation of article 1, section 3 of the constitution.

When the nominations were opened, they were to be turned into the office of the Dean of Student Activities~::.

Dean Robert Bowman.

GRADE SHEETS Pat McArdle, Dean Bowman's secretary said, "I took all of the applications for the candidates and I was told by the council to give grade sheets to the first semester freshmen running for office."

According to Dean Bowman, "Since I have been in the position of Dean of Student Activities, we have always interpreted the constitution in regards to the 2.5 GPA to mean either the semester prior to the elections or the semester in which the e lection is being held. If

Palomar Board endorses • county a1rport protest Palomar College added its protest.

Tuesday to the proposed expansion of Palomar County Airport, near Carlsbad, to a future jet international field of San Diego.

The college board of governors unanimously endorsed a protest to the proposed development, made by the City of San Marcos a few days ago, and added its own objections.

A major jet age airport in such close proximity, board members said, would be '' highly detrimental to the educational processes at the college.' ' A member pointed out the Palomar Field is only about two air miles from the campus.

He added that in a location that close to the landing pattern the jet noise "would make it impossible even to carry on a telephone coversation."

The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce also has adopted a resolution against the possible expansion.

The Palomar field was recently listed as a prime choice for the expanded international jet airport in a research firm's study of the need for a future port to relieve the Lindbergh Field situation, which was described as very near total capacity and inadequate for the age of jumbo jet traffic.

The board me_e ting also reviewed a detailed opinion from the county legal counsel clarifying the permissible uses of Associated Student Body fee revenue and holding that the fee is in no way related to a ''poll tax' ' in campus voting.

The student association, the counsel's opinion held, is not a "governmental" agency and the officers of it are in no sense "public officers," The opinion said, "The student body association is not a part of the sc hool district its elf and exists at the pleasure of the governing board and subject to its regulations. It does not exercise governmental functions . .. voting thus may be restricted to organization members.''

apply now for the combination photography and comparative culture study tour, which will be limited to 20 students.

Application forms may be obtained from Ahrend by telephoning him at Palomar.

Ahrend said the trip, from July 12 to August 22 will cover five countries--Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium and England. The jet flight eastbound will be direct from Los Angeles non-stop to Rome where the class will stay for the first 10 days of the study tour.

"Emphasis throughout the travel will be on photography," Ahrend said, "but there will also be classroom work, for credit, in some of the schools and colof the various countries to be visited.

Several meetings are planned before and after the tour and three units of transfer credit will be granted by Palomar College. The broadening of scope, understanding and knowledge of foreign lands and people will be an important objective of the tour program.

Ahrend said, "It is advisable that interested parents and prospective members of the tour class inquire now for detailed information on the project, since the class size necessarily has to be limited. I will be glad to supply the information by telephone or in person at my office at Palomar College."

it is during the semester the election is being held, we have always used gradesheets to be taken around to instructors to -get an indication of their grades. If the grades show to be 2.5 or better, the candidate is considered eligible until the time grades are posted. If at the time final grades are posted, they are below a 2.5, the elected officer would be ineligible to assume office."

The Dean continued by stating, "I personally feel precedence takes priority over literal interpretation. It, however is my opinion that the Judiciary Committee ruled as they felt they should, but that the ruling was made on idealism rather than realism."

He further said, "It is unfortunate that the action came after the election and not before, but I do feel that the students have the right to make the decisions for their student government."

As for the eligibility of freshmen to run for office, Dean Bowman clarified his position by saying, "I questioned the eligibility of a freshman running for ASB President. I was informed by the Judicial Chairman that there was nothing in (Continued on page 2)

Cagers whip Apaches Ayars hits 29 to put Comet's in lea.gue lead _.~·.

Andy Gilmour's cagers continued to surprise everyone by knocking off highly regarded Southwestern College, 94-81, Wednesday night in the Dome Gym.

John Kealy, a firstsemesterfreshman who won the election for the post of pres ident, wondered about his eligibility at the time he applied for nomination. "I interpreted the constitution," said Kealy, "as it is written, which means a freshman cannot run for any office except freshman class president. Because of this I felt that I was ineligible fo r candidacy, so I questioned three people -Dean Bowman's secretary, Dean Bowman himself and Frank Mott. Each one stated because a fr eshman does not have a grade point average the substitution for this is grade s heet to be taken around to instructors for the present grades . When I questioned Mott again to make sure I was eligible, he assured me I was .

Kealy continued by stating, "In all actuality, I felt confus ed that the same person (Mott) who informed me of my

Charlie Ayars led the Comets with 29 points and 19 r ebounds. Three other teammates made double figures. Karl Heine dumped in 18 points and had 15 rebounds. Earl May garnered 14 points and Dave Faulkner hit for 11 points.

The Comets will get a two week rest because of a bye Saturday night and fi nal exams. They host Grossmont College on January 28 in their next conference appearance.

The Com ets, 4-ll in nonleague play, have set the confere'l.ce on its ear with two other victories to open Mission action, including a 92-84 upset of favored San Bernadino Valley last Wednesday and a 76-70 s hocke r over Riverside City College on Saturday.

Against San Bernardi no Valley, the Comets rifled in 29 passes that led to field goals, and against Riverside all but two of 25 buckets were scored off assists.

To further point out the tremendous teamwork Palomar has e njoyed, after two games the scori ng lead is a tie between Hiene and May at 29, Ayars and reserve forward John Guerreri have each tallied 25, Faulkner 21, Embrey 18 and Bojorquez, non-conference scoring leader, 17.

Ayars led the way against San Bernardino with a 17-point effort in a game that saw the Comets lead all the way.

Both teams lost their top scorers when San Berdoo's Sam Cash and Bojorquez we r e ejected after a dead ball altercation.

Five Comets ended up scoring in double figures in the contest, as was the case Saturday in the win at Riverside. T hree players, Hiene, Bojorquez and May all hit 13 points, Faulkner sank 12 and Guerrieri hit 10.

"Two games don't make a season, Gilmour said, "but this should prove to the kids that they can play well against anyone in the conference if they play together."

Association oilers home ec scholarship Students wishing to compete for the California Home Economics Association, San Diego District, annual scholar ship should contact Dean Mar jorie Wallace, assistant dean of student personnel, wome n in A- 62.

The association wishes to award the ir annual scholarship to students e nrolled in a four year program in any accredited college or university, who is majoring in the area of ho me economics.

Consideration will also be given to students who are enrolled in a college which does not offer home economics, provided they plan to transfer to a home economics degree program in another college . This scholarship is available to any girl from San Diego or Imperial Counties.

page one) eligibility, which also constituted the eligibility of the other candidates in my position, should be the one to challenge the election after the results were made known."

"I feel," continued Kealy, "that the constitution should be upheld, but that it should be changed to le.t freshman run for any or all ASB offices."

ENGLE'S POSITION Jon Engle, candidate who was defeated for president, feels that, "It is unfortunate that this controversy came at this time. I feel that the ruling of the Judiciary Committee was constitutionally correct, but that the action should have been taken prior to the elections. " Clarifying his position on the Elections and Credentials committee, Engle said, "Before I resigned from the chairmanship of the Elections and Credentials Committee to run for office, I stated that the election code would have to be followed to the letter, and that all of the candidates' applications should comply with the constitution."

Engle continued, "Regardless of who is on the council next semester, I feel that one of the two major items of importance is reviewing, re- writing and initiating a new constitution."

"The second major item of next semester's agenda should be the $26 0,000 controlled by the council."

Palomar and Southwestern both owned 2-0 records heading into Wednesday's game and Comet coach Andy Gilmour sent in his usual starting lineup of forwards Earl May and Mark Embrey, guard s Ma rt y Bojorquez and David Faulkner and 6-8 center Charlie Ayars.

Alternating with Embrey and Faulkner we r e forward Karl Hiene and guard Ken Carr.

That play, however, has been entirely a team effort, as the Comets' first two-game assist record points out. On 60 fi e ld goals in the two conference wins, Palomar has had 52 assists.

(Continued from the constitution to prevent this from occuring."

According to Miss McArdle, "When John Kealy cam e in, I questioned the fact that he was a freshman and running for office of president, because when I was a student, freshmen use to be restricted from that office. I was referred to the constitution by .the ASB Ju· dic ial Chairman Tim . Messer and he pointed ou't that there was nothing in the constitution restricting freshmen from running for office."

KEALY'S VIEWPOINT

The win put the Comets at the top of the Mission Conference standings with a 3-0 record. A grueling pre-conference schedule, which kept the locals on the road most of the season, left Palomar with a dismal 4-11 record and a darkhorse shot at the confer ence crown.

At prese nt, it would appear Palomar can thank its rough nonconference schedule for the fact it has been so ready for its conference foes. "We've played so many games on the road against so many good teams, we're not scared of anyone anymo re," Gilmour said. "We just go out on the floor and play."

By Martha Miller "My father's cousin was one of 14 Jews recently captured as spies in Iraq. He was executed by hanging."

Tiny Shoshana Ros ie Haftka, Palomar student fro m Israel, sat composed relating her story, but her voice betrayed her emotions.

Rosie was born in Iraq of well-todo pare nts. Her father was schooled in England and trained the r e for an executive position with the telephone company. Her mother is living and she has two brothers both of whom are e ngineers.

"In 1951 due to the persecution of the Jews my family was forced to relinquish all its pos sessions and migrate to Israel. We settled in a s mall village called Csar-Ono, which is just outside of Tel Aviv," spe said. "We lived there in a tent subsisting on bare necessities , until we could build our lives anew.

Fortunate ly, my fathe r was able to maintain his position with the telephone company, so that eventually we regained average status."

"My husband's family came to Israel from Poland to join a kibbutz," Rosie stated. "A kibbutz is a settlement of from 500 to 3000 people who work together and share equally i n the profits. There are various types of these settlements, farming, industrial and religious for example . They work out very well in practice."

Since Raphael, Rosie's husband of three years, was interested in aeronautical engineering, the coupl e came to the United States where he would have an opportunity to study the complexities of the space program, as well as conventional aeronautics.

"I hope to teach American history when we return to our country," s he said. "I enjoy the s ubject because your coUntry's background so c lose ly parallel's the history of Israel."

Rosie is in he r second semester at Palomar, m ajoring in history with political science as a minor.

"You know," she said as though the thought had just occurred to her, "I

think that students in this country tend to take their education for granted. Iri' Israel young people will do any type of menial work necessary to earn enough money to get an education, and then a stringent examination is given before e ntrance into any college is possible, so that a student who has conquered the barrie rs is not only proud but grateful for the opportunity presented to him.

"Here all young people of average intelligence can go to junior college free of tuition, and many young men who attend universities are there on the GI Bill. I think because education is give n so freely here it is not valued as it is in Israel," Rose emphas i zed.

Raven-haired Rosie or Shoshana as she was known in Israel, possesses an amazingly good command of the English language. She speaks slowly, enunciating clearly.

"I think the unit system your colleges practice is beneficial to the student.

In Israel the first two years include only general courses, so all students in one class remain together through the school day to take the required courses. Here there is more opportunity to include special c ourses relevant to the ultimate goal a s tudent wishes to attain. On the other hand, of course, America has beco me extreme 1 y 'specialized', whereas , in Israe l if a student like Raphael, for example, studies aeronautical e ngineering he must also know construction, chemistry and any other fac tors pertinent to aeronautics."

Rosie is adamant in her love for Israel, "Tel Aviv is a bustling metropolis resembling Los Angeles. It has many beautiful shops and interesting industrial sections. In the smaller communities people live much the same as they do here . The countryside is lovely and the climate very similar to California's. ''Raphae l and I rent a small apartment in Solana Beach and like it very much here. Sti ll, our hearts remain with our frie nd s and relatives in our homeland, and we look forward to our r e turn to Is rael.
