Mark Brock assumes role of new editor
Political trickster speaking Monday
Mark Brock has been elected Editor-inChief of The Telescope for the spring semester. Brock, who has lived in Ramona nearly all of his life, brings to his new post an extensive background of journalism experience. Since his days at Ramona High School, Brock has been active in school, as well as journalistic affairs. During his four years at the high school, he was Editor-in -Chief of the campus newspaper and president of the Student Body. Brock came to Palomar in the fall of 1971 and took journalism in his first semester. He joined The Telescope in the next semester, fulfilling the role of staff cartoonist. Brock was then called into active service and spent the next 21/2 years in the Navy. Even in the service he kept active in journalism. While he was stationed in Japan, he served as a cinema critic for the base newspaper, The Seahawk. After the service, it was back to Palomar, and Brock immediately rejoined The Telescope staff in the spring of 1975. For the next two semesters, Brock served as Editorial Editor and Cartoonist, and was ultimately elected Editor-in-Chief. Besides his activities in journalism, Brock is also a member of the campus Publications Board. Brock is eager to assume his new responsibilities, and feels "the newspaper should reflect the needs of the student body, the administration, and the ASG." A major change Brock is planning for The Telescope is to make it a regular four page paper by folding the existing stock in half and printing the pages on the resulting half-pages. Brock plans to have more editorial pages, more in-depth coverage of campus departments, and perhaps an entertainment section. Brock feels he and the temporary advisor, Robert Bohle, will have a constructive semester, and will "work closely to produce the best possible Telescope."
Political prankster Dick Tuck will discuss "The Role of Humor in American Politics" when he appears at the Student Union Monday at 8 p.m . Tuck has been called "the grand old man of dirty tricks," and with good reason. He has been a longtime foe of Richard Nixon ever since his campaign against Helen Gahagan Douglas in 1950. While a student at the University of

Dr. Chigos addresses Mid-Management group
California at Santa Barbara, Tuck hired a huge auditorium, invited only a few people and gave Nixon a long-winded introduction. He turned to the candidate and asked him to speak on the International Monetary Fund. This was Nixon's first encounter with Tuck. In 1960, Tuck worked actively for the Kennedy presidential campaign. After the first Nixon-Kennedy debate, he arranged for a little old lady to greet Nixon's plane. When Nixon arrived, the woman threw her arms around him and said (in full earshot of nearby reporters) "Don't worry, Richard, you'll do better next time." During the campaign, Tuck achieved his finest hour. Nixon was coming under considerable fire because of a loan, to his family from Howard Hughes. Tuck saw his opportunity when Nixon scheduled a trip to San Francisco's Chinatown for a Republican rally-luncheon. Nixon posed for press photos under a large banner in Chinese characters. It turned out that Tuck and a ChineseAmerican friend were responsible for the banner, which read, "What about the Hughes loan?" At the luncheon, Nixon began to speak as dessert and fortune cookies were passed around. Laughter, led mostly by newsmen, interrupted Nixon's speech. Every fortune cookie contained the same message: "Ask him about the Hughes loan." (During Watergate, Tuck considered a fortune cookie with a somewhat altered message: "Ask him about Hugh Sloan"). On another occasion, Tuck entered a ballroom where his favorite candidate was set to speak. The bandleader, under the impression that Tuck was connected with the candidate, asked what Nixon's musical preferences were. Tuck quietly told him. As soon as Nixon arnved, the band struck up "Mack the Knife." Other Tuck pranks have included hiring a group of pregnant women to carry "Nixon's the One" placards during the 1968 GOP convention and signalling Nixon's train out of the station. (Nixon was in the middle of a speech at the time.) Tuck denies the story today, though he says, "I didn't do that, but I wish to hell I had." Now that his nemesis has resigned, Tuck has retired from the dirty tricks business. He will make a comeback, he says, only if Nixon does.
