'Child Week' features art, puppets, lectures, films Panel discussions, puppet shows, lectures, films and artwork will highlight the annual "Week of the Young Child" here Monday through Friday. The week's festivities will begin Monday with a talk by Virgil Bergman, dean of instruction, at 11 a.m. in the Student Union. On Tuesday there will be a panel discussion on the topic "Programs for Nursery Schools--Alike ? Different?" in room C-5 at 7:30p.m. Panelists are Mrs. Mary Anne Grafft, a traditional school director; Mrs. Nancy Sager, a Montessori school director; Mrs. Ruth Clothier, coordinator of child development at Palomar and Mrs. Maureen Lucas, a former infant-school teacher in London, England. Mrs. Lucas is the wife of an exchange high school teacher in Fallbrook. She and Mrs. Clothier, who recently returned from a trip to London to look at nursery school education will be able to give firsthand information about the English system. Mrs . Clothier said she found two main things in the informal infant schools. "First, there is the great caring that the head mistress has for the teachers working under her and the great feeling that the teachers have for the children. Secondly, aesthetic value is stressed--there are fresh flowers, bright colors, and an emphasis on beautiful things." Puppet shows for children in the campus lab school and for North County pre-school children are scheduled Wednesday. At 10 and 11 a.m. "Trouble

Janet O'Drane (front) and Evie Payne portray a scene from the first drama
Social Security defended "I want my pay now, and I want it all," was the opinion of many Palqmar business students as they discussed the role of government--too much or too
little-- and its effect on their lives. This is particularly true of the 5.85 perce nt deduction for social security benefits on the first $13,200 in salary.
Recital will feature guitar music, dancing
This quote came out during one of a series of discussions in business classes recently conducted by Robert E. Lent on current problems facing the world of business. A. K. McLaren of the Escondido Social Security Office defended the system, but did express concern over the r ecent trend in social security benefits. He noted that in the past, maximum benefits were $108 pe r month. They are now $275 and projections for 1980 are for benefits to exceed $700 per month, with over $1,000 per month allotted for 1990. "At that rate," McLaren asked, "where are we going?" McLare n pointed out that 90 percent of the work force is covered by social security and that benefits go to persons other than those retiring. Wives and families of workers do r eceive benefits upon the death or injury of membe rs und e r the program .
Folk, jazz, rhythm and blues and classical music will be performed by guitar students in a recital sponsored by the Music Department Wednesday at 11 a.m. in room C-5.

Guitar instructor Joe Friedman and Music Department secretary, Rosalie Atilano, will perform a flamenco duo. Friedman will play the guitar and Mrs. Atilano will dance. The recital is free and open to the public.
Students today less fit, says expert By Glae Thien Today's college students are less physically fit than any other students of the last 30 years, fitness expert Thomas Cureton said in an interview session at Palomar last week. Dr. Cureton, who was named as one of the nation's three physical fitness authorities by the President of the United States in 1964, has tested college students at 10 year intervals since the 1940's. During this time, the physical condition of students has become progressively worse. "The main reason for the decline in fitness has been a lack of interest, • Dr. Cureton explained. "When I first conducted the test, it was during World War II and there was great interest. However, that interest has lowered since then." While today's student compares less favorably to his earlier counterpart, the same is true of Americans as compared to the rest of the world's people. •Americans really know less about fitness than the rest of the world," Dr. Cureton said. •rt seems our society
has become more automated and set other goals." Only 25 percent of the people in the United States have exercise programs and just four percent actually do workouts which are very good, Dr . Cureton noted. "Exercise is not the way to cure infection," the 73-year old professor emeritus emphasized, "but rather it is a way to achieve a special kind of health." Thus, exercise plays a major role in developing fitness by improving the muscles, the circulatory system and the other systems of the body. By reaching a status of good fitness, a person will help prevent the deterioration of his body. "There is no proof that exercise extends the length of one's life , but I do feel a fit person will live longer , " Cureton said. He pointed to his own family as an example, saying he has experienced the second longest life of over 400 Curetons he has researched. In developing an individual fitness program , each person will probablydevelop a slightly different type of work-out. "One of the first things to consider
production this spring, "A Streetcar Named Desire." (Photo by Jack Yon)
in devising a program," Dr. Cureton commented, "is where you live considering space limitations and other factors." Having a suitable site for exercise, each person should then begin a balanced program. beginning at 30 minutes, working to 45 minutes at a later date, and . eventually reaching the ideal work-out time of one hour. A variety of cardiovascular exercises should be included in the program, with an emphasis on swimming and jogging. Dr. Cureton himself tries to walk at least five miles a day while also swimming a mile. And, when he can, he enjoys chopping wood . For his diet, Dr. Cureton follows no set routine of foods, but he does try to achieve a ratio of 60 percent carbohydrates. 20 percent protein and 20 percent fat. •carbohydrates are especially needed." he said, •because they provide the energy for active muscles." During his week at Palomar, Dr. Cureton gave a variety of lectures both to the health classes and the community. In addition, he led groups in exercise periods.
Currently some $3 1 billion are p aid annually in social security benefits to 29 million retirees and other persons benefitting from the program. Collections barely equal this amount and the "cushion" or funding for the program amounts to only 12-15 months of benefit payme nts. Everyone knows the status quo cannot . continue forever, yet no one can come forth with the answer to the question, "How can we continue to increase these much needed benefits at the current rate and s till s urvive economically?"

Spikers confront Citrus in conference encounter Seek to extend winning streak to six contests By Diane Slezak With hi s track team undefeated at five wins and no losses, Palomar head coach Doc Marrin is far from taking things easy. At the beginning of the season. Marrin predicted the Comets' toughest meets would probably be against Grossmont, Citrus and Chaffey, in that order. After topping Chaffey two weeks ago, 85-60, Palomar is one-third of the way to their first Mission Conference track title, a distinction held by Grossmont since the conference's beginnings in 1970. Test number two comes this afternoon as the Comets face a strong Citrus team at 3:30 on Palomar's track. "It's going to be a close meet. no doubt about it." Marrin stated. "We have a slight edge In the field events, and if we can hold them even in the running events, we should have a slight edge on the meet." Runners evenly matched Many of the Citrus and Palomar runners are so evenly matched as far as times are concerned that Marrin feels the outcome of the mee t could be decided by the mile relay. the last running event of the day. Exciting races are expected in the sprints betwee n Palomar's James Anderson and Citrus' nick Wilmoth, the mile with the Comets' Lee Dick and the Owls' Mike Ayon and the three-mile between Palomar's Humberto Barajas and Citrus' Tom Ashcraft. Palomar javelin thrower Rick Jackson will battle two Citrus throwers, all three having hurled the spear over 200 feet this season. Palomar's team depth. which Marrin hopes will be the deciding factor in today's meet. came through for the Comets in two meets last weekend. Comets win handily While holding back many of their top performers for the Santa Barbara Relays l ast Friday. Palomar ripped Southwestern last Thursday. 100-43, winning 13 of 17 events.

Bill Jorgensen took first in the pole vault (140) and Hector Martinez won the triple jump (42-9 1/ 2). Jorgensen's school record mark of 15 feet In the pole vault highlighted the Santa Barbara nelays last Friday. The old mark was 14-10, set by Fred Pratt in 1966. Cary Cotten placed third in the shot put with a toss of 51 -0 . AI McClure took a fourth in the triple jump with a leap of 48 -0 1/ 4. and the distance medley relay team of James Anderson.
