Los Angeles Chargers officials tour Balboa Stadium in San Diego 1961
January 9, 1961
Officials of the Los Angeles Chargers returned to San Diego Monday to accompany engineers in determining what changes must be made if Balboa Stadium is to be used as a future home for the American League club. Head coach and general manager Sid Gillman was especially critical of what he called totally inadequate dressing room facilities. Other parts of the stadium under criticism of the Charger officials were the crash wall, built for auto racing, and the poor condition of the playing turf. It is hoped that a list of improvements deemed necessary by the Chargers will soon be compiled with cost estimations to be turned over to Mayor Dail and the City Council.

San Diego teens Beatles hair controversy 1965
November 16, 1965
Silent
The Board of Education listened for more than 2 and a half hours today to testimony on whether three students…one from Mann Junior High and two from Crawford High…should be transferred to Snyder Continuation School. The boys, all 14 years of age, Ken Pernicano, Larry McSeaton and Norman Lombardo, refused to cut their Beatle-type hair in defiance of school regulations because they said it was part of their rock and roll band uniform. Don Clark, county deputy counsel, represented the school administration. He called as witnesses Eugene Brucker, Mann Junior High principal, and principal and vice-principal of Crawford High. The case established for the boys by their attorney, Conrad Caldwell, was based on the promise the boys would keep their hair trimmed as displayed this afternoon; it would be a hardship to go to Snyder; they did not create disturbances because of their hair and that their hair is part of their uniform. The school’s position was taken by secondary school superintendent Dr. Dwight Twist who said this was not a penalty for the boys but rather an opportunity for specialized educational (the rest of the script is missing).
