Anyone who comes in contact with cult u ral and linguistic differences in children will benefit by attending the Palomar Association for Childhood Education (PACE) program tomorrow. Instructors and panel members Elizabeth Evans, Margie Ruzich and Linda Locklear will present the topic, " Working with Multi-Cultural and Multi-linguistic Children and Their Families" from 10 a.m. to noon in the child development laboratory school located on campus. The panelists will give constructive help to participants on the skills needed to work with multi-cultural and multi-linguistic children as well as tips on what is needed to develop a curriculum in relation to a child's language and cultural needs . According to Ruzich, "There is a need to speak in terms of 'differences' rather than 'deficiencies.' The tendency is to look at people who speak a different language or dialect and who have a different culture as being deprived or deficient. In reality there is no such thing. They are only perhaps economically oppressed." She feels there is a need for teachers and other people who work with children to learn how to relate to the child's own unique culture and language. "Children should be taught concepts in their native language and cultural background from the beginning oftheir school experiences. Fill them up with their own language and culture and then expose them to other languages, other cultures ," says Ruzich. Babysitting will be available from 9:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. at no charge for participants' children. For further information on the multi-cultural , multi-linguistic program , contact instructor Eileen Smith at 744-1150 or 727-7529.

Shakespeare group tours With a commitment to perform "The Classics" for audiences across the country, the National Shakespeare Company will arrive at Palomar to present Shakespeare's Winter's Tale S unday at 3:30p.m. in the Student Union. The Company has performed for audiences of over 250,000 per year across the country since its first tour was launched in an old station wagon 15 years ago by artistic director and producer Phillip Meister. Each season , the National Shakespeare Company, with three plays in their repertoire, travels from Florida to the Maritiems, from New York to California, and to Canada. Shakespeare's Winter 's Tale is a fantasy combining mythology and folklore . Two locales and two royal families control the action of the play. Leontes, King of Sicilia, is convinced that his wife Hermione has been unfaithful with his comrade, the King of Bohemia. Enraged, he plots the murder of his friend and throws his wife into jail. While imprisoned, Hermione gives birth to a baby girl who is scorned by her father and sent away to the fields of Bohemia to be brought up by a poor shepherd. The rest of the story covers the next sixteen years, as the lost princess Perdita grows up and through a series of coincidences is reunited with her penitent father . There will be no admission charge to the performance of Winter's Tale, as it is being sponsored by Community Services at Palomar.
