'Society and-Freedom' Is Lecture Series Title Despite adversity, the Palomar College ASB sponsored humanities lecture series will offer an expanded program for students and i.-lterested local residents during the 62-63 year. The lecture series, entitled "Society and Freedom," has encountered several set-backs since the planning last spring. First, the ASB failed to receive a hoped for educational lecture series grant' of 2,000 dollars offered by a New York concern on a competitive basis. All grants offered went to four year colleges and privately supported universities.

Gaedtke and Bill Kahl, head of maintenance, discovered the break-in Friday at approximately 8 a.m. "We were walking near the building when I saw this box turned over inside,"
said Gaedtke. "I decided to see what was wrong, and I found that the door was unlocked." Gaedtke said he informed Charles 0. Crafts, superintendent in charge of buildings and grounds, immediately. Crafts phoned the Vista Sherifrs department. At about the same time that the break-in in the Administration building was discovered, a crew of workmen and Don 0' Neill, bookstore manager, were discovering the busted vending machine. The crew included Frank Chimarusti, Robert G. Hudson, Glenn Duncan, John Moore and Antonio McGill. "When we first came to work we saw that the door to the machine was open" said Chimarusti, "but we thought somebody was probably servicing it. Later, we saw that the lock had been broken." Some men from the Sherifrs department arrived on campus approximately 10 a.m. Friday to investigate the break-in.
September 19 has been set for the opening speech by Dr. Minos D. Generales, Professor of Political Science, San Diego State College. The topic of Dr. Generales' speech will be "Man and Men: Natural and Civil Rights." POSITIVE APPROACH
Lecture titles suggest an emphasis on the positive approach to the questions of man's society and his freedoms. Dean of Student Activities Catherine Jones said, "We feel that not only our student body, but the members of the community will profit from an opportunity to increase their background, understanding, and appreciation of the basic American ideals."
Palomar Evening School Schedules New Courses Among the new courses offered this fall in the evening program will be "The American Tradition", taught by Dwight Boehm on ·wednesday evenings and based partly on the recordings and paperback reader developed by the American Foundation for Continuing Education. The background reading will be mostly in DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA, the classic description of the United States in the 1830's by Alexis de Tocqueville , supplemented by the comments of many others, both foreign visitors, and native observers such as James Fenimore Cooper, Daniel Webster, John -Quincy Adams, and Horace Mann. Through lectures and class readings, the instructor will further present views of other great Americans, such as Washington, Jefferson, Emerson, Whitman, Calhoun, Clay, Lee and Lincoln - that help to explain the euential charu-
teristics and values of our American tradition. The course will emphasize class discussion rather than outside written work, and will be basically an attempt to examine together the values that distinguish America today, as seen in their origin and historical development. Another new course is "Parental Problems - Pre - Adolescent" taught by Robert Whiteley on Monday evenings beginning September 17. The course will be of particular interest to parents of teenagers. A practical approach to the presentation of skills for parents will be utilized. The course will include the causes of personal and social problems, how to identify these and what to do about them. Mr. Whiteley is a clinical psychologist at Camp Pendleton. He has taught psychology courses in the Palomar Evening College for the past several years.
