Kadimah Dance group presents class repertoire The Kadimah Dance Theatre group, of Tucson, Arizona, will be presented in a master class performance and demonstration program at the dance studio of Palomar College at 1 p.m. Saturday. The professional dance-drama group's repertoire consists of material taken from many Jewish thematic sources s uch as Shalom Aleichem and the Old Testament as well as Western and Spanish themes. A spokesman for the group said, "The concert combines the excitement of abstract movement with the beauty of dramatic literature and results in a program of unusual entertainment and quality." The group is directed by Frances Smith Cohen and was organized in 1955 at the Tucson Jewish Community Center. Miss Smith was originally trained in ballet and was widely recognized for her talents in the dance theater. She received a scholarship to Bennington College where she continued her studies in modern dance under Martha Graham and William Bales. She toured throughout this country and Europe. She choreographed such hit productions as "Finlan's Rainbow," "Oklahoma!", "The Boyfriend" and "Guys and Dolls," for community theaters. The March 20 program is free to the public fo r observation, but seatingcapacity in the studio is limited.

Representing the college will be Dr. Frederick R. Huber, president; Theodore Kilman , dean of continuing education and community services, and Mrs. Patricia E. Zevin, who teaches the c lass. "This will be an important event for the students in the class" said Mrs. Zevin. "The secretary of our student organization, Mrs . Margarita Ur izar, recently wrote a letter to Consul Majera which was signed by all the students, expressing their desire for a Mexican flag as the symbol of the brotherhood existing between the two countries as it does in our classrooms." She said the consul "accommodatingly complied, and Sr. Najera will come to Escondido to make the presentation." The bilingual project, inaugurated by Palomar last fall, provides teachi ng of both English as a second language and Spanish as a second language.

In this class, members of both the Mexican a nd Anglo communities are learning each other• s languages . "

The selections committee will judge on the sincerity and ideas which are usable in improving police-youth relations.
Dean Kilman, who made arrangemen~"' for the experimental class, said, "One of the unusual features is that this class is a place where such a broadly diverging population, differing in culture, language, socio- economic status, education and age, can meet and interact socially and linguistically. "The students are mainly housewives, many of whose children are enrolled in the elementary bilingual program now going on in Escondido. The class also has enrolled men from both cultures, and young people as well, with the ages ranging all the way from 13 years to 70 . " Mrs. Zevin said, "In some cases t he class includes several generations from the same family. Instruction goes on at seven different levels." The class meets 16 hours weekly, Monday through T hursday from 8:30a. m. to 12:30 p.m. Meetings are being held in a facility of the Congregational Chu rc h at 4th and Hickory In Escondido.
