Palomar may go Navy in 1966 The u.s. Navy is considering Palomar College along with three other junior colleges in the United States for an experimental two-year education program for selected career petty officers. Dr · Frederick R. Huber, Palo~ar President, has reported that the college has already been inspected for this purpose and that negotiations are currently in process for designation of the school for the project proposed by the Navy. ''I think this is a program that has been long in coming and I would have hoped that we would have had it years ago, " commented President Huber. He also explained that the Navy and the selected school would co-operate in the inauguration of a program which would be planned to ''lead to. an associate degree in the minim:.tm time consistent with sound educational procedures." Reflecting further upon the subject, President Huber declared, "I feel this is a very definite recognition of Palomar College as one of the top institutions in ,the nation. Indicated on the basis of our faculty, curriculum, and facilities, we're getting nation-wide recognition on the part of the Navy." All costs for the project will be met by the Navy. Training in the electricity-electronics technology field will be emphasized by the Navy. Enrollmenf in the new program will be restricted to personnel holding chief petty officer rating. In addition, the men must be between 25 IUld 40 years old and agree to an extended enlistment of from four to six years at the time of their application. Junior colleges in Florida and Boston are being considered for the program along with another one in California.

Ronald Reagan, Republican gubernatorial candidate, spoke to over 800 students Thursday morning on the football field. His appearance here was sponsored by the Palomar United Collegiate Republicans. To avoid being labeled, Reagan began his brief talk by defining the various political camps. "Everyone today comes complete with a title and a hyphen ... we are pigeonholed," he said. He referred to campaign image making and breaking as middleaged juvenile delinquency. saying he thinks government is too serious for that. The former film star feels that party differences are a matter of method, not goals. Asking whether there really is such a thing as left or right, Reagan said there is not. only an up or down. "Up" is what started this country and ''down''
is toward the deadly delusions of totalitarianism Champion of states' rights, Reagan said this country was created to be run by ordinary citizens. As we grow more complex, the only way we can possibly make the system work is to return the government as much as possible to the local level. Reagan proposes a "creative society'' as his answer to the "Great Society." In a creative society the state government will take the lead in returning the answers to the people. In the question and answer period following his speech, Reagan denied membership in the John Birch Society, saying that one propagandist is still distributiQ.~ pamphlets calling him a communist, left over from the days when he was a New Deal Democr'M. Reagan said his
philosophy as a Democrat still holds true now that he is a Republican. ''Anything that imposes unfairly on the rights of the individual is tyranny and should be opposed," he said. He described the John Birch Society as an albatross the Democrats are trying to hang around the necks of the Republicans. A student asked Reagan how he felt about California being taxed out of existence by supporting state and federal lands. He replied that Californians have reached the breaking point with property tax, citing the example of people who retire with a set income and then are forced to leave their homes because they can't pay the inflationaryproperty taxes. "Any tax is a bad tax that sets out to destroy the source of its revenue ," said Reagan. Predicting inflammatory re-
sponses. Reagan said he is _glad people are supporting the Liberty Amendment because he is sympathetic with the problems it deals with; however, he is opposed to the amendment itself because of the methods of reform involved. He feels it is wrong to link the two amendments. He is not opposed in principle, income tax does need reform, but he feels the time limit set in the amendment could disrupt the entire economy.
In regards to the farm labor program. Reagan said he would turn to the farmers, farm workers and associated industries to devise a plan of cooperation. He questions the action of selfappointed crusaders who demonstrate for the farm laborers when the workers themselves are not allowed to decide who they want to represent them.
