Candidates make promises; tell platforms, ideas Candidates for student assembly were asked to write brief campaign statements, and 15 of the 22 candidates submitted statements to THE TELESCOPE. Following are their comments: Michael Brown--As a representative on the Student Council, I will strive to produce quick and positive action in all areas of concern presented to me by the students of Palomar College. Stewart Craig--I want to help your problems. Any problem that you have, no matter how big or small, I will help you with. _ Ideas Welcomed Calvin Evans--! wlll listen to your ideas with objectivity and work to provide the proper response within the limitations of our Constitutions. John C. Garner--1 will do whatever I can to bring about a higher academic and social environment for the Palomar student. Steve Henderson--After two years of travel in Europe, Africa and of the University of North America, I have the background to understand the needs of all the students. I want the budget redirected back into the hands of the students. Gary Jestice--The ASG should be more representative of the general student population. As a member of the assembly , one of my goals would be to generate more interest in student government. Representation would improve in direct proportion to student interest. Students Have Voice B11I Kramer--Students must realize that they have · voice in campus policy. By seeking your ideas, for change or improvement in campus matters, your voice will be best represented by me. Steve Miller--I'm glad to see someone is reading this. It shows you're interested in what is happening around our school. I'm also very interested and would like your support on election day, thank you. Wesley Reilly--The reason students are apathetic is that they never see anything done for them. I propose campus ecology programs, more facilities for various departments, etc. The way this can be done is smarter spending of funds and voting for me. Corruption Seen Scott Scarborough-- First of all, there is a lot of corruption in student government, for instance, you don't know which interest group you are going to represent. Personally, I want to represent the students at large, who are not considered an interest group. Mary Schmidt--Unless students take an active interest in their government, the power of the student w!ll not be acknowledged. One issue I am particularly concerned with is mandatoryphysical education. It should be a matter for the students to decide. Carol Shepp--Have you ever needed' someone to talk to when there's no one around to listen? I'd like to listen to the students and represent them. Parking 'inexcusable' Mark Sherman--If elected, I will try to rectify the inexcusable parking situation on campus. Brian Hawthorne--My reason is concern. my purpose is change, my ~al is a better student government. Give freedom a chance, vote for me. Frank Barberi--My main concern is the fair distribution of ASG money (Palomar's Student Government spends over $30,000 each semester). I'll use general polls to understand what the students want. My philosphy parallels ··•majority rule." ·

New standards set for transfers Recent changes made by the University of California include definite advantages for Palomar students wishing to transfer. A basic change is an experimental one dealing with the admission requirements for the advanced-standing students who are California residents. It will become effective for applicants to the Fall Quarter, 1973. This change lowers the eligibility grade point average for transfer students 2. 4 to 2. 0. Specifically, it entails the following: 1) Students who were eligible for admission as freshmen may be admitted to the University at any time (no minimum number of units required) if they have established a 2.0 GPA at another college, such as Palomar. 2) Students who were ineligible for admission as a freshman may be admitted to the University after they have established a GPA of 2.0 in 56 semester units. Upon successful completion of that work, all subject deficiencies from the high school record will be disregarded. This experiment extends appropriate recognition to the California Community Colleges as equal partners in lower division instruction. Students who have further questions or those who may be affected by these changes are urged to see one of the counselors in A-67. Further information as well as application forms are available there.

Balloting will continue through Friday. Any student taking one unit or more is eligible to vote, and those wishing to vote are requested to bring some form of identification. There are 22 candidates vying for the ten openings in the student assembly and three people running for vice president. The vice presidential candidates are Ken McLean, Rick Halbert and Terry Serrato. Election is Vitl\l ''This is one of our most vital elections," said ASG president Stan Flores. "There are a lot of important issues to be decided this year.'' Among these issues are "the use of profits from the campus bookstore and the possible changing of requirements for the Associate in Arts degree. ''The governing board is considering taking the money from the bookstore that is currently used for student services and activities to finance revenue bonds for a new bookstore," Flores explained. "The ultimate result could be a bankrupt ;:;tudent body." Earlier this ·year, the state removed almost all the requirements for the AA degree. Qualifications Determined ''Now, the local districts will determine the qualifications for the degree," Flores noted. It is expected that the adoption of new requirements will be a major concern of the student government this year. Improved government financing, the effective change of the AA degree, and better student representation highlight the campaign ideas proposed by the vice presidential candidates. "I believe the students are the most impertant part of the campus," McLean said. "So, I would like to bring the government to the students. I think the

government should be open and informative to all." McLean, a student member of the Administrative Council, p1ans to represent the students at the board of governors and other meetings. By keeping informed on these matters, he hopes to protect the students from actions that may infringe on their rights. "I now propose to oring to the attention of the administrative council the question of the bookstore and how the profits should be used," he said. A general review of the ASG financial support of groups and a study of qualifications for the AA degree are the items supported by Halbert, also running for vice president. Promises Made "If elected, I would chair the club meeting in which all club representatives get together," he explained. "I would like to give all clubs attention and check into financial support. I would like an equitable distribution of ASG money." Halbert, a student counselor, would like to look into the changes that could be made in ·the AA degree requirements. Already, though, he cited physical education as a qualification the district could drop. "I would also like to examine the possibilities that can be accomplished with the money that goes into the bookstore," he added . "I do feel the district should finance any new building.'' Fair representation for all students highlights the thinking of Miss Serrato, also running for vice president. Desires to Help "I want to help all the students,'' she said. "If anyone has an issue to present to the student assembly or executive council, I would be glad to help them. '' By coordinating the Interclub Council as vice president, she would try to make clubs stronger and attempt to accomplish the things these organizations desire. She feels money from the bookstore should be used for the benefit of the students. The following people are running for the student assembly: Cynthia Aguilar, Carmen Arciniega, Frank Barberi, Ana Blanco, Michael Brown, Teresa Castaneda, Stewart Craig, Jose Diaz, Calvin Evans, John Garner, Brian Hawthorne, Steven Henderson and Gary Jestice.
