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.

After 20 years of conventional marriage, she and Masten discussed divorce, but decided instead upon a "contractual relationship" of one year's duration, renewable each year if they so desired. Masten is one of the few American poets who work in the oral tradition and earn a living from it. He lectures, reads his poetry, and has given concerts in more than 400 colleges and universities in 46 states, Canada, and Great Britain. In addition , Masten has penned four books of poetry, including Speaking Poems a n d h as cut 12 LP records. His works also appear in many speech and communications textbooks and English anthologies. Barbara and Masten will perform March 9 from 8 to 9:15a.m . in room F-22, and later that evening at 7:30 in the planetarium. The March 10 program will be held at noon in P-32. Sessions are free and open to the public. For further information eontact community services at 744: 1150 or 727-7529.

TO HUMAN EXISTENCE
Class explores dimensions of love By Patty Briscoe Laue makes the world go round Somebody soon will laue you If no one loves you now High in some silent sky Laue sings a silver cloud Making the earth whirl softly Laue makes the world go round. Lyrics by B. Merrill So the songwriters say. But theirs is not the only, nor the last word on this subject of greatest interest to human beings. Do we hold love so close to our existence that we isolate love as a subject not to be studied? A group of Palomar instructors think not. They have formulated a class offered this semester on the human experien ce of love. The purpose is to explore the m eanings of love for us today , through art and music , in philosophy and film. The class, Dimensions of Love, has been in embryonic stages over the past few years. The idea was to integrate different departments to gather an overall view of one common subject. Why did they chose love as a subjPct? According to Dr. Patricia Zevin of the Language and Culture Department, "We considered a number of topics, which we felt were fundamental to the human existence, such as the relationship between men and technology, or the American dream . "The subject we agreedpn, seldom treated in depth or from a variety of viewpoints, was that of the dimensions of love. Love or the lack oflove, the kinds of love we can experience with husband and wife, with other humans, and with our environment, seemed to us , little discussed and extremely important." Dick Peacock of the Cinema Department added, "We hear cliched definitions continually in the culture, like: 'Only love can break your heart,' 'All you need is love.' "The definitions of love are paradoxical. On one hand it's very simple and clear. But when you start

Dick Peacock of the Cinema As a way of communicating what the meaning of love is , departments Department expressed a similar involved with films , music and the personal benefit by saying, "I see media show how the power of love the subject 'love' as a challenging area, one that possibly in our lives influences songwriters, artists and felt, could use some definitions for ." philosophers.

(Such as love of humanity , love of "This class gives you a broad look God, love of nature). Its purpose is to at the human experience." educate people to the experience of "The large groups are very difmusical feeling , an important aspect of developing the whole person.'' Personal reflections from Gene Sager of the Philosophy Department are: 'Philosophers have tried to define the concept or experience of love. A number of philosophers attempt to make that study their main activity. Everyone is a philosopher in one way or another. One of the obvious things that philosophers have left us are descriptions and concepts of love. But what is also important about philosophers' attempts to under¡ stand love is the process of coming to that understanding. Philosophy usually involves a dialog, a give and take of ideas.'' Ms . Donna Tyron of the Art Department tries to " ... select unusual art from past periods of time and of different cultures. Thus they can have a fres h experience with the themes of love that have motivated art making.''
'Law and Order' shows aspects of police work "Wiseman doesn't 'get' the cops, and he doesn't glorify them,'' writes Gary Arnold in the Washington Post about Frederick Wiseman's film "Law and Order,'' a 1969 Emmy award winner for the best news documentary. As part of a unique series of powerful documentary films by Wiseman, "Law and Order" will be presented in its entirety Monday in P-32. "What Wiseman does get in the film,'' explains Arnold, "is a vivid impression ofthe policemen's working lives and through this a complex sense of what it means to be in their position in a large American city. It's not an enviable position: much of the work is banal and repetitive and inconclusive, but there is the implicit threat of viole'nce in any
radio call. Moreover, the cops are expected to dispose of countless routine problems - drunks, accidents, family quarrels - that can't be 'solved' to anyone's satisfaction."

" A lot of students have left and I think it is because they are at a time in their life where self-awareness is not important. Or they are already there, and don't need any help." "The class is inspiring, and has motivated my thinking." "This class is demanding and over my head . It would help if it related to my major. But I think it will prove helpful later in life."

Satellite class displays crafted wood carvings Wood carvings crated by students in a satellite class are on display in th-e library through March 4. According to the instructor, San Diego artist and carver Roy Wilson, "The almost forgotten art of carving has surfaced as an enthusiastic medium for many who have found a new hobby or even a new vocation." Whittling, chip carving, relief work, abstracts and carving in the round are types of wood carving created by class participants. Now in its eighth semester, the woodcarving class is open for visitor observation during scheduled class meetings on Wednesday mornings from 9 to noon at the Allstate Savings and Loan office in San Marcos. "This class is one of those comfortable classes that allows the firsttimer to work side by side with the accomplished artist," explains Wilson. "The encouragement and enthusiasm found in this class is an added incentive to many would-be carvers." Wilson stresses that wood carvings call for the exercise of manual skill and artistic feeling. "Both of these are essential to the production of any good piece of carved work," he adds. The main library is open 7 a .m. to

SO CITY HERE FOR FINALE
Schizoid cagers trample RCC, fall to San Berdoo By Rick Hoff Going into Saturday night's regular-season finale against San Diego City, head basketball coach Andy Gilmour has to wonder which of his teams will show up at the Dome to face the Knights. Will it he the Comet express that that had six players scon• in double figures in a !-!7-fifi romp ovPr l{iv!•rside City last Saturday'' Or will it he the uninspin·d coldshooting team that was upset hy San Bernardino Valley Wednesday, 70-!'i9? Gilmour will find out Saturday, hut one thing is for certain: unless Riverside upsets Saddlehack Saturday, there will he no playoff for the conference championship. At 11 -2 in Mission Conference play, the Comets arc one game behind the Gauchos in the standings. While Saddle hack would he directly seeded into the state tournament, Palomar will take part in a mini-tourney to decide the Mission's second seed. In the tournament, tht> secondplace team (Palomar) will host the fifth-plact> team (either San Bernardino or San Diego City ). Tht> thirdplace team wi II host the fourth-place team in Wednesday's games, and the two winners would then meet next Saturday at the site of the team with the best conference record. Palomar's play in the Riverside win paralleled that of the Portland Trai!Hlazers. In all-star performances, guard Jerry Haynal scored I H points, passed for six assists and made four steals: forward Donnie ,Joy had lfi points, II rebounds and seven assists; forward Kevin Paulson passt>d for eight assists and scort>d lfi points: forward Mo Romain hit eight of nint> shots for lfi points and added eight rebounds:
center Anthony Crane hit six-ofeight for 1:1 points and pulled down t:! rebounds; and forward Ronnie Hicks hit five of six second-half shots for 10 points. Wednesday night, the Comets played more to th e style of the New Jersey Nets. The Palomar shooting rivaled the temperature of Pluto, as the Comets hit 22 offi7 from the floor (:!~.H percent) and a horrendous 1.') of :1 I from the free-throw lin e, a spot Palomar could hav e easily won the game. Another key inJn"edient to the loss was the play of Indian forward Paul l{ohy , probably the best all-around player in the conference. Roby pumped home :lO points, hitting long-range jumpers with ease and muscling inside for 12 rebounds. l{ohy had help from Roosevelt ,Jackson's lH points, but the biggest aid to the Indians was Palomar's shooting. " I can't understand why we have games lik e this," sighed Gilmour in a quiet locker room after the game. "We work on shooting every practice, and missing that many free throws is something mental." And this coming after a win that saw the Comets blaze tht> nets for fi8 pprcen t from tht> floor (4 2 of 72) and J:l of lfi from the lin e against Riverside. ( 'omet fans are hoping their team can return to its normal self Saturday night, as the Co mets take a 24-fi overall mark into the game against San Diego, a team Palomar handled in the first round, 92-77. Hopefully, guard Marcus Hays, who led the Comets with 20 points Wednesday, and reserve center Mike Babin will hp completely over their flu problems. Then the Comets can get hack to the problem of winning basketball games.

Swimmers open league with meet at Saddleback
By Mike Carney Coach Patti Bruce, women's swimming coach, seems to be following the trend of all the other women sports by entering the Mission Conference for the first year. For Bruce and her 12 swimmers, the Mission Conference seems to be an improvement, along with a little better organization. The league consists of five teams with the favorite leaning towards Saddleback. The Comets open many players to graduation.

Netters open conference play Tuesday at San Diego City A lot of questions regarding the men's tennis team should be answered when the Comets travel to San Diego City Tuesday in the Mission Conference opener for both teams. First-year coach Jon Cnossen has had to do a lot of replacing, having lost conference singles champion Chris Laver and the conference doubles championship team of Ron Peet and Lyle Chamberlain. Those players were sophomores last season when Palomar, under the coaching of Mike Curran, ended San Diego's eight-year dominance of the conference by handing the Knights their first dual-match losses in that time period. Palomar went on to win the conference championship before placing second in the state finals. Palomar is taking an 0-3 nonconference record into Tuesday's match with City, which also lost

The Comets totaled 256 points to win the meet. Both Southwestern and Mesa College finished with 240 points to capture second. The Comets also travel to Saddleback today to take on the powerful Gauchos. Joe Korneit and Bill Curtis ended up double winners for the Comets. Korneit won the one and three meter diving competition, while Curtis won the 100-yard breaststroke and the 50-yard free-style. Paul Farley captured the 100-yard backstroke. The four-man team of Fred Brannon, Paul Reisman, Curtis and Farley won the 400-meter relay in the time of 3:21.2. The victory makes the Comets 1-0 in dual meets and victors in both their tournaments they've competed in.
