Veterans for Peace is a new club forming on campus. An organizational meeting will be tomorrow at ll a.m. in room P-9. Dick Peacock, English instructor and Korean War veteran, is one of the organizers of the club. "There are a number of veterans at Palomar who want a group that ex.presses its feelings about war peace. Because of their experiences in the military, they feel the need to disassociate themselves from the traditional organizations open to veterans, that is the Legion and regular veteran's clubs. ''Hopefully this club will give new diginity to service veterans on campus and be an active vehicle for the cause of peace."

PHYSICS INSTRUCTOR
Wood uses 'middle of road policy' By Martha Miller

trophies the speech team won at the recent Arizona Western Tournament. Palomar beat 25 colleges and universities.
"Technology is basically responsible for the very fact that Palomar stands on this ground," Mr. James Wood, physics instructor declared. He sat at his desk in a tiny but conveniently arranged office. Mr. Wood has joined the science department this .semester and teaches three physical science classes and one physics course. "Consider that the buildings, the fixtures, everything right down to the paper and pencils we use here are a product of some phase of technology. Other more obvious areas of course, are the space program and medicine.'' he said. Mr. Wood contends that in this technical age, it behooves every student, whether a science major or not, to include some basic science courses in his curriculum. ''It is not only essential but, facs inating to have at least a know-
ledge able interest in the subject," he said . Turning swiftly in his swivel chair, Mr. Wood reached for a text book. -,;Next semester I would like to go on to teach modern physics," he said with obvious enthusiasm. Indicating the index he pointed out that the book goes into even deeper qualification of modern technological processes. ''At the college level it is not enough to give students a running narrative of the development of the universe. If they are to have a clear understanding of physical science, they must have a more detailed knowledge of it,'' he emphasized. ''Physical science and physics are difficult courses, and oversimplification at the outset gives the student a false impression of what is to come. On the other hand, if the course is made too difficult the student may feel incapable and lose interest. Therefore 1 a middle
of the road policy must be employed." Mr. Wood stated that since classes are only a few weeks into the semester, he could not make an evaluation of his methods at this time. "After the first few exams I'll have a better idea . " The instructor has advised his students that he is aware that his courses are technical and consequently difficult to grasp. Grading however, is done on the curve so that a student need not necessarily hand in a perfect paper to receive an ''A" grade. Mr. Wood received his B.A. from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1964. He was employed by McDonnalci Douglas Corporation at Huntington Beach for two years as an engineer, worki.pg on control systems for the Saturn rocket. He then returned to college and received his M.S. from Cal State at Los Angeles. (Continued page 2)
