NFL Saints Train Here The New Orleans Saints, newest expansion franchise in the National Football League, held their summer pre-season training camp at Cal Western during the summer. Approximately 100 ballplayers, administrators and coaches spent several weeks housed in Hall I. They dined in the cafeteria and their fruit- laden training tables in a special section of the dining hall were a source of intrigue to the summer students, even when the mammoth pro- fessional footballers were not there. The two-a-day workouts on the playing field supplemented by various conditioning sessions in the gym and chalk talk meetings in Salomon Little Theatre kept the athletes busy. Early apprehension by head coach Tom Fears that it might be too cool on the Pacific coast were dispelled when San Diegols summer sun arrived shortly after the Saints. .sv flnl

It Q J iv M of xzyqhmm Education Learn From For the past eight years Cal Western has oflfered a unique summer course in practical classroom problem-solving tech nique for education majors. Teaching Problems, a three and one half week course, serves a dual purpose however, in not only allowing future teachers the opportunity for practical application but also in teaching the sev eral children involved in the class reading skills, phonics and creative writing. The secret to the consistent success in personal development which has invari ably been apparent in the children can be found in individual attention and lack of requirements and grading pressures The course procedure calls for a search for each childls individual interests and a concentration on language arts and reading skills related to them. Class sessions opened as typical elemen tary school classes with the Hag salute and singing. Creative writing and devel opment of research skills are a large part of the intended curriculum, outdoor games and activities, however, are also employed to foster physical as well as intellectual development. While the younger students develop creativity by building stories around con crete facts, the older children work on their own word card files which help them learn dictionary usage and acquire proficient research skills.
