Arnold Senterfitt, noted author and member of the "Flying Samaritans ," displays a map of Baja Mexico, where he and other medical doctors donate time and medicine to the impoverished residents of villages.

Senterfitt's speech , delivered last Friday, was received by a small audience. In addition to explaining the work of the Flying Samaritans, Senterfitt showed a film of the work of the doctors in Mexico.

Author tells of Flying Samaritans' charity work to Newman Club Published author A r no 1 d Senterfitt spoke to a small audience about the local Flying Samaritans last Wednesday. Sponsored by the Newman Club, Senterfitt gave a brief explanation of the Flying Samaritans and showed a film of the Samaritans' work in Mexico. The Samaritans) he said, "are a group of medical professionals who take medicine to Baja, California, to places where there is no medical care." Accompanying Sent e r fit t was Red Birdsell, a 1 abo rat or y technician at Convair in San Diego. "Red sees more of the patient care than I do," Senterfitt said. "I've seen him set up nearly complete laboratory facilities in a place the size of a phone booth." Senterfitt attributed the Samaritans' origin to Dr. Dale Hoyt. · "Dr. Hoyt, upon visiting Baja, noticed the lack of medical facilities and the inability of people to pay for medical care. "He opened his black bag and began treating people that day. The doctor received 22 patients that day. He had to stop treatment, because he ran out of medicine. But he promised to return in two weeks. "And so Hoyt went back two weeks later, and two weeks after that and so on " Senterfitt continued. "Soon he began

to get help from others." The film showed the Samaritans at two of the five established clinfcs1 El Rosario and Colnette. Samaritans either fly or drive to the medical centers, usually traveling down to Baja every other weekend. Most of the equipment used has been donated. Medicines are doctor's samples or pharmaceutical ·houses' gifts. Ofte·n one doctor will see over 100 patients a day, working well into the night. The patients travel to the clinic by horseback or on foot. "There are about 100 members enrolled in the club J 50 of which are active," Senterfitt stated. Included in the organization are x-ray technicians, truck drivers, pilots and dentists. Two students from Sweetwater High School in San Diego were seen · in the film. The students do secretarial and file work and conduct interviews of patients at the clinics. Besides spending weekends in Baja, Senterfitt is working on a book to be published soon, "Airports of Mexico and British Honduras." He has also written "Airports of Baja, California." Tomorrow, Dennis Bostic.., zoology instructor here, will discuss "Doing things for others," at 11 a.m. in F-22. A Folk Mass is scheduled for April 7 at Mission San Luis Rey at. 1 p.m. Newman Club meetings are held every Wednesday at 11 a.m. in F-22.

Steve Frazee volunteers to work for ~another guy' In Cameroun "No one wants to help another guy." says Steve Frazee. "Everyone is too concerned with themselves." Steve is going to do something to help "another guy." Beginning in the summer of 1969, he will be working for the Peace Corps1 setting up 4-H programs in Cameroun. He has been active in the Escondido 4-H for several years. Cameroun, in . central Africa on the Atlantic coast, is part arid desert and humid jungle. Although unsure of which climate he will be assigned to, Frazee is fairly certain that hewill be working alone since there are o ply some 70 volunteers in the entire country. After his graduation from Palomar, Frazee plans to spend two years there and attempt to learn the languages and rlialects of the country. ''As long as someone really needs help, as long as they are r e a 11 y underdeveloped) we should help them " he said. Frazee joins the almost 5,000 Californians who have served in the Peace Corps since its inception in 1961. The Peace Corps is formed of volunteers who enlist their services to the organization for a period of two years. These volunteers are selected on the basis of their skill and the need of the Corps for that skill. Volunteers are sent to approximately 40 countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa. Qualified personnel,such as teachers and civil engineers, are in great demand in the less developed nations of Africa and Latin America. Volunteers In Service To America , "Vista." recently conducted a recruiting

drive on Palomar's campus. Vista works in the ghetto areas of this country as well as on Indian reservations and in mental institutions. Acceptance into the Vista and Peace Corps programs are based on previous experiences in work and nonpaying programs such as charity work, etc. The Vista program enlistee is involved for one year, with options to re-enlist for two additional years. Male en 1 is tees are granted occupational deferments for the duration of their tenure.

club no less than $50 in order for ICC to claim 10 per cent, however. Funds which do not meet the $50 mark will · go entirelv to the treasury of the club which sponsored the activity. Anotlier section of the proposal would allow "up to 70 per cent of the Pep Club treasury" to be used "to provide financial assistance to the ICC when called upon by a two-thirds vote of ICC members." Pep Club would be permitted to withdraw up to 100 per cent of its own accumulated funds at any time out of this treasury. By allotting 70 per cent of its own treasury, Pep Club would be ·providing a financial basis for the ICC funos. Further items of the proposal would

provide one ICC sponsored activity for every three open club-sponsored activities. Hauptman's proposal also calls for means of interest free borrowing from the ICC funds by the clubs. Borrowing would be permitted if the club wished to sponsor an event of ·"· high caliber." Methods of repayment and penalities for failure to repay are also listed. Hauptman cited the main purpose of his proposal as being "to better serve the social desires of the students at Palomar; by making available to them activities of the highest caliber at the lowest possible price . " All sections of the proposal must gain a two-thirds majority vote of the ICC representatives.

No new classes in fall because of tax defeat "No new courses will be offered fall semester due to the failure of the March 12 tax election," stated Virgil Bergman, dean of instruction. Although no new courses are added to the schedules, additions in courses and programs have been made to the curriculum. They are included in the catalog supplement this spring. The Curriculum Committee voted to change the graduation requirement b.3. behavioral science to read as follows: "Social or Behavioral Science (including A. 1 above) ... 6 units" Program changes include the formation of the Aeronautics Associate of Arts Degree. The first part of the program will be taught at Palomar. The second part will be taken bv the student at a commercial airport at the student's own expense and risk. The course is designed to provide students with the basic skills and knowledge for employment in the aviation field. The college is fully approved by the Federal Aviation Agency for all ground school instruction. New courses approved by the Curriculum Committee include three in Aeronautics: Aeronautics 11, Basic Flight Training; Aeronautics 12, Advanced Flight Training; and Aeronautics 5, Celestial Navigation and Nautical Astronomy, which is crosslisted with the Astronomy Department. Twenty courses of the Dental Assisting curriculum were approved by the committee. Any further action on patterns for the AA degree or certificate were tabled. Dr. John Schettler, ASB financial advisor and assistant superintendent, said· that since there are insufficient funds to offer the program in the fall, it would be appropriate to take up the matter in the first committee meeting in the fall of 1968. It was decided that the Dental Assisting program would not be included in the course supplement. It was thought it might cause confusion to the students since the program is not offered. Two changes in separate certificate

programs involved an addition and a substitution in the Photo-journalism certificate and the Library Technology cer::- · tificate. Graphic Arts 1 Fundamentals, was added to the Photo-journalism program and brought the total units for the certificate to 26. English 1B or English 35 are deleted from the Library Technology certificate and replaced by Business 51A or Business 53A. New changes in the English department include English 1A as a prerequisite for English 15 Classical Mythology; 16, the Bible in Literature; 17 introduction to Shakespeare; and 30, Literature and Ideas as well as the cross-listed Philosphy 30. Gene Jackson, head of the English Department said "that it is next to impossible for a student to survive in these courses unless they have had English 1A. The reason for the prerequisite is not to keep students out of the course but to give them an opportunity to pass the course once they are registered in it." Eligibility for English 1A or instructor permission is prerequisite for all beginning foreign language courses. Adoph Heyne, foreign language department head said, "It is the feeling of the department that, if students do not qualify for English 1A 1 they cannot do the work in the language course." He further stated. "that without a proper background in grammar in English, too much time is spent with those students who have no idea what a verb or an adjective is." Changes in the Life Science Department include the removal of the prerequisites from Biology 1 and a change has made it a required course for all life science majors transferring to San Diego State. Four courses have been renumbered: Botany 1A to Botany 1; Botany 1B to Botany 2; and Zoology 1A-1B to two separate courses, Zoology 20 and 21. Vocational Work Experience Education 54A-B was added to the curriculum .

Last year. two sculptures "Flight" and "Growth Svnthesis " were purchased by the Student Body in the invitational sculpture purchase award exhibit. "Flight " by Kenneth Hass rick of Los

Angeles , is located west of the Student Union between the chemistry and science buildings.

Funds totaling $1100 were raised to purchase the two sculpturepieces. Aside from the ASBallotment, the bronze casting and ceramic sculpture were purchased with con t rib uti on s from the Patrons of Palomar and citizens of the community. "Any individual in the college or community may purchase any ofthe available e xhibits." stated Baldwin. "No commis s ion will he c harged."
