EDITORIAL

Letters to the Editor

We support change---the issue, not the party Next Monday there will be an ASB election. As usual, there are two opposing parties, and in case you haven't noticed, each side has its own platform and its own ideas on how Palomar's ASB Council will be renovated after their election.

Both the Students for Change and the Students for Education (I have listed them alphabetically so as to alleviate any biases or prejudices I may have), have been busily campaigning in an effort to get Palomar's notoriously apathetic student body involved in change and/o r education, depending on the party they favor.

After intense observation, I have come to the startling conclusion that there is NOWAY, brothers. Students for Change, I am with you. Students for Ed ucation, I respect the fact that you are serving as an opposition. But I serious ly think that you are fighting a losing hattie when you try to get students on this campus involved In serious issues, intelligent discuss ion, or important decisionmaking.

Any kind of opposition to student apathy on this campus must deal with 2800 students who, for the most pa rt, are content to expres s their opinions in ASB "Opinion Polls". The originators of the Gallop Poll would he proud of them, but as far as reflecting any of the actions of college students across the nation, Palomar looks like a kindergarten.

Afterall, this is only a junior college.

Students only have two s ho rt yea rs to get involved. Besi des, they must concentrate on their education. Dedicated inte llec tuals, every one. Don't take time to feel, to experience , or participate But memorize facts, read books, and play the role.

In two years they will transfer to a four-year college.

And then they'll transfer to a graduate school. And then they'll transfer to a well-paying job.

And then they'll transfer ... transfer ... transfer ...

Students for Change are 10 people who r efuse to transfer through life.

They have the guts to initiate change, constructive change, and they've got a platform that attacks SPECIFIC problems, and presents SPECIFIC solutions. . . they don't try to soft-soak students into thinking that everything is hunky-dorry on this campus by offering campaign planks like ''Fair and equal opportunity for all. . . student government which Insures equal opportunities for education for all students ... student government which can insure the freedoms and liberties which our students enjoy at Palomar." If the events which have happened in the past month have not shown that something is seriously wrong with our college systems, then what will?

Students for Change seek to set up a medical facility on this campus , and possibly a birth control clinic. Sounds logical in my opinion. Or are Palomar students too apathetic even for sex ?

"Change" also seeks investigations into the current publicity code to prevent infringements of freedom of the press and speech. Did you know that every piece of literature posted on this campus must be approved by a ''publicity chairman"?

Is that freedom of expression? Are they afraid your minds will be polluted to the point where you will think for yourself?

Perhaps the Students for Education have some specific points and solutions, but they are hidden in a mass of puritan promises that sound like they came fro m the Magna Carta. I for one am not naive enough to think that a slate of candidates made up of students who have sat in R-3 for a whole semester and watched as the s tudents at Palomar were s lowly augered can really offer "student government which insures equal opportunities for education for all students."

I support CHANGE, and whether or not the Students for Change make it into office, it is going to happen. And all the opinion polls in the world won't predict the effect it is going to have.

I LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Timothy Messer: I must say I am happy to see that you have the courage to give "the other s ide of the picture." However, we sincerely hope that you will not lose sight of our side.

"Students for Change" are trying to paint a clear picture. One with answers to problems that have irritated many.

We feel students are tired of hearing the same song and dance for years. And that, we believe, is the cause of apathy and unrest. Needless to say, we do not claim answers to everything. We have, however, worked hard to produce some possible solutions.

And for this, you call us "ignorant and inexperienced."

Speaking of our "inexperience," Tim, check again on your statistics. A few of "Students for Change" r esent being told they only attended two meetings. And for the rest, may I askwhereafreshman in college is supposed to gain previous "experience in college government"?

Were you so gifted as to be born with experience in college government?

Where did you get your experience? I served three years as an elected officer in high school. Unfortunately, I guess this experience is worthless for college, right?

-You seem to know a great deal about the budget. Yet you attack us for wanting to improve on it. Perhaps I am aging rapidly, but I have never heard of anyone attacking someone for wishing to improve something, no matter how well the existing circumstances. And really, Tim, do you think the budget is that well developed? Pardon me if my figures are a trMly off, but is it true that each student (ASB card holder or not) is charged $2.50 for medical services? Is it true that there was $17 ,000.00 in this fund? Tim, was $3,000.00 of this transferred to an ASB supported department for their use?

If so, would the non-holders of ASB cards be happy about that? I mean, it is difficult to find a band-aid around Palomar, let alone medical facilities. And it is hard as hell to drive to a doctor with a broken leg, even if Palomar does pay the cost.

I decided to look up the definitions you requested, Tim, but I couldn't find one.

I guess it was because you misspelled it.

Ride Wanted

At least I tried .

Seriously Tim, I must agree that the problem in the bookstore is poorly defined. I know you won't believe it, but while sitting around trying to list the objections of our party (Remember Students for Change? This is a song about Stu dents for Change!), one of our members joked that the problem be described as fascist, capitalistic imperialism in the bookstore! Everyone laughed and someone wrote it on the board. That biased, slanted, etc., editor that you are constantly hounding, scribbled it down and rushed off to press to "do us a good turn." Ever since that time, we hold our meetings in secret!

On ASB cards Tim, you seem to believe that we wish to abolish them. Not so. We wish to make them useful; effectively develop them so people will want to buy them . But at the same time, we don't intend to force anyone to buy one by threatening to take away his vote, that precious thread that connects the student with his government. And certainly you can't deny that all students with or without ASB cards are members of this campus and are subject to the ASB-created laws?

I am painfully aware of the $20. I paid this year for an ASB card that is collecting dust in my wallet. All the other candidates have ASB cards too. And if it is reassuring, we all intend to buy them next year too.

You also state that we are "unwilling to support the very organi zation we wish to run." I'm still trying to figure out how to run it without supporting it!

And if our concern has lasted for only three weeks, you must admit, Tim, that is longer than some people 's concern!

By the way, didn't I hear you say you resigned ? How come?

Finally, I wish to define ignorance for you. My Merriam- Webster Pocket Dictionary defines ignorance as ''lacking knowledge; uneducated."

Would you please inform the Administrators that my 3.4 average last semester fails to represent anything. I am sure Dean Bergman would appreciate your informing him. He likes to keep up on the lates t.

Is this the leadership which the students need? It certainly would be nice if all the students, ASB card holders or not, could decide that for us, Tim. That is the right way, isn't it?

Sincerely, Tom Pohle #33199 Presidential Candidate "Students for Change"

To the editor: I'm sick and tired of your radical Communist newspaper.

I'm ti red of your biased views, such as your support of the anti- Ame rican boycott for May 13. I was shocked to see those wei rd demonstrators with their Red slogans, Communist propagand a, and rabblerousing speakers. And on top of that, you start your own political campaign to further the subversive cause at Palomar with the S.C. party (Students for Communism, I suppose!).

The Marxist Telescope , conspiring with campus radical red militants, are spreading the Co!Ilmie world conquest line.

We need no other proof. The red shadow of the Communist protest Trojan horse has fallen across Palomar and the Telescope is its stable.

I'm voting for S.F.E., Students for Education. Patriotically, they will stand up for our flag and will put down the campus Communist menace 6nceand for all.

Dear Editor: The charge that ''Students for Change'' are advocating change for the sake of change is completely unwarranted and in short, utter nonsense. It is obvious that with this charge the so-called "Students for Education" are attempting to . imply that change is less than admirable and that those concerned students who are seeking change somehow fit into a category of subversive radicalism.

Yes, "Students for Change" are interested in effecting changes, changes that will benefit the entire student body instead of just those who are able to pay the $15 for an ASB card. By requiring that only those who hold ASB cards are eligible to vote and to participate in activities which should be relevant to all students, those students who cannot afford to refuse to buy an ASB card are being discriminated against for not having money or for practicing the option given to them.

Those "Students for Education" (an ironic label) who by their posters and statements seem to be against change would do well to remember or to learn for the first time that had it not been for a few people who were seeking a change from the belief in education for the chosen few to the belief in education for the general population, they wouldn't even be around to make their silly and naive inference. The desire to make education meaningful and to make this ASB responsive to the needs of all the students at Palomar is implicit in the title "Students for Change" as well as in the proposals of this group.

The Johnny-come-lately "Students for Education'' are really saying that they are for more of the same. It seems that they are not interested in investigating new approaches, or new ideas in student government. Let's hopfl that these socalled "Students for Education" are not seeking these same goals in their individual educational Jllursuits, those of inflexibility, closemindedness, and status quo! Long live change!

We never close "THE TELESCOPE ill a non-partisan publication and has no campus or offcampus political affili!ltion; but reserves the right, via editorials, to support any candidate in on-campus or local or state or national electi<ms."

Two weeks ago forr:$er ASB Council member Tim Messer stated that if the TELESCOPE published any editorial comment that was against presidential candidate John Donnelly he would personally see that the newspaper was shut down and that the "doors of the TELESCOPE would never open again."

Well, Mr. Messer, I have written an editorial that appears on this very page.

It will be the only one concerning the elections that will be printed in this newspaper before the elections Monday.

I have been accused of being too negative in my criticism of the ASB, and have been "advised" to seek more constructive thinking in my editorials, or not to print them at all .

I would now like to publicly submit my CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM of the ASB council for the spring semester, 1970: Whereas, I feel that the present ASB Council has not fulfilled the objective of representing the students of Palomar; and whereas, an alternative to the present council exists in the form of a new slate of candidates; I therefore urge all interested students on this campus to elect the Students for Change.

My door is always open Mr. Messer.

And until you find some way to close it, I will continue to reserve the right to criticize, to question, and to evaluate, and assume all responsibility for the completeness of my criticism.
