"Children: Our Investment in the Future" is the theme as Palomar celebrates the "Week of the Young Child,"with Child Development Center activities scheduled for April 26 from 9 a.m. to noon under the clock tower. The annual celebration is sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and its affiliate groups, according to Nadine Abbott, director of the Child Development Center. The celebration, sponsored by the Child Development Department and the Friends of the Child Development Center, will include activities, exhibits and special events available free of charge to children and their parents.
Matriculation Freshmen will be provided with more opportunities to clarify their educational and career goals through a new matriculation program planned by the Counseling Department. This program is scheduled to begin this summer or fall, because it will become mandatory by state law in the future. "Students often tend to waste time in their first year at Palomar because they have not obtained proper educational planning," says Inder Singh, director of Counseling, Guidance and Career Guidance. The new matriculation process will enable counselors to monitor students more closely. Freshman will receive more testing and individual attention. Students will be encouraged to discover their immediate goals and prepare their collegiate transfer in the future.
Camera loans Your favorite aunt has just arrived for a visit and you want to take some photos of her, but have no camera. You could look up "Cameras Rental" in the Yellow Pages, or you could check out a camera from the library. That's right, the library has four Polaroid cameras that can be checked out at no charge for three days and can be renewed. The Polaroids are 600 Land Cameras which come with their own flash attachment, carrying case and instruction booklet. You provide your own film.
To check out a camera, ask at the main circulation desk on the second floor.
Counseling Students seeking counseling for the summer semester are encouraged to make their counseling appointments this month. In the upcoming weeks counseling will be available two or three days after scheduling your appointment. Often students will wait until just before the beginning semester to make their appointments and this makes it difficult to receive counseling promptly.

Annual event celebrates with activities
Campus fundraising attempts to aid a nine-month old boy who has deve-. loped a rare case of leukemia are in progress now, says wrestling coach John Woods, coordinator of the effort. Michael Samhammer, nine-month old son of Pete Samhammer, assistant wrestling coach, is being treated at the Great Ronald McDonald House in San Diego. He has contracted a rare form of leukemia, termed AM.L. (Mylogenetic
Monocytic) which affects the gran ulecytes. Michael, who has been in the hospital since the disease was discovered, is expected to stay in the hospital for a two-month treatment. According to Woods, Michael's prognosis is undecided as of now. Woods is coordinating a fundraising effort to assist the Samhammer family of the financial burden. Samhammer, as an hourly instructor, is not covered
for any medical expenses. This has put a tremendous financial hardship on the Samhammer family. Recently Woods sent out a letter through the staff mail soliciting donations. He said he has had a good response so far. If you would like to donate financially to the aid of this family, please forward any contribution to the Athletic Department, C/0 John Woods, wrestling coach.
