Dr. Kram was called in on the problem of President Kennedy's back trouble, and served later on the President's Council on Youth Fitness. His conviction is that proper exercise and learning to relax are the keys to good health Progress brings benefits.

It also brings perils. Man has been on earth for more than 100,000 years, and yet in the last hundred years, a brief flash in the infinity of time, he has changed his world and his habits in revolutionary fashion. Nowhere is this more true than in the United States. We are the most prosperous nation in the world. We have a superabundance of automobiles, appliances, and other labor-saving devices.

But we have also altered the physical balance of our lives and we are now beset by a new wave of degenerative diseases. Under-exercise in partnership with over-irritation has become the most serious threat BY HANS KRAUS, M.D. Perhaps it was an action as simple as opening the garage door, or bending over to pick up a piece of paper, or reaching for something on a high shelf. But suddenly the pain struck an excruciating, devil of a pain, one of the worst you've ever felt. It nearly drives you to the ground.

One out of every two Americans is a setup for such an experience for one sorry reason: he's under-exercised and over-tense. And the parade of patients, with severe. backaches every year is testimony that this one ailment is among the most common chronic disabilities of. our relatively easy life. wracking pain and time-consuming healing of backaches.

Add to this the stiff neck and headache of tension syndrome, duodenal ulcers, diabetes, overweight and coronary heart disease. These are the hypokinetic diseases the sicknesses caused by insufficient exercise, by allowing our bodies and our vital functions to rust away, and torturing their weaknesses with the strain of tension. But, there is an antidote and with some simple tests and your doctor's go-ahead you can do it yourself. Even if you suffer from recurrent backaches now, there is good indication that you can correct them and guard against their ever occur ring again. More than 8 out of 10 backache cases are caused by under-exercisa andor tension.

And back pain is often merely the first of the hypokinetic diseases to strike the under-exercised. The pain can strike almost anywhere from the neck to the waist. It can be the pulsing throb of a tension headache so severe it is torture to try to focus your eyes. Tense neck muscles can cause this. Sometimes it is a stabbing pain between the shoulder blades.

But the worst of all is low back pain. A bad case of low back pain may make you think you're crippled for life.

Jose Senan recorded in church records. He explained: "The governor advised everyone in the mission to retire inland because it was feared two ships carrying Peruvian insurgents were about to attack the community. "We packed everything that time would allow us to take along." Father Senan wrote that the group stayed three leagues inland which is believed to have been at the Mission Santa Gertrudis chapel. After that few other references have been noted concerning the chapel and cluster of thatched Indian homes around it. That is until five years ago when Brother Henry, archivist for the Christian Brothers in Napa, contacted his friend Robert O.

Browne, oil company executive and amateur archaeologist in Oakview near Ventura. For years Brother Henry has been microfilming mission records all over the state. "I keep coming across mentions of Santa Gertrudis, an outpost chapel near Mission San Buenaventura," Brother Henry told Browne.

The board was recommended by the faculty's Select committee on education in the belief that "no one program would work across the -4 board at Berkeley," according to committee chairman Dr. Charles Muscatine, professor of English. Instead, the committee elected to recommend a variety of new programs for Berkeley.

It is easier to be one-eyed." Actually, Leonardo was interested in anatomy before his experience with the old man, but it was limited to the skull and eye because of his interest in understanding the so-called "artist's eye," according to Dr. Keele. He said the artist concluded that riease Turn to Pae 3, CoL 1 Praised i Revolution" more than 12 students during each academic quarter, beginning next fall. These seminars, intended to introduce freshmen to scholarly attitudes at the earliest opportunity, would be conducted by regular faculty members, not by graduate student teaching assistants. Some seminars would be confined to a single subject, others would range across disciplines.

This year Stanford offered freshmen such interdisciplinary seminars as "The Radical in History" and "Theological Problems and the Modern Novel." Some Berkeley faculty members doubt there are enough professors for a complete program of freshman seminars. "It can't be done, there just aren't enough" people," said Dr. Charles Sellers, professor-of history. Muscatine disagrees. "We haven't begun to tap the manpower here," he said.

"I have a banker friend who is an expert in Galileo. He could be a professor at any university and he would love to teach a freshman seminar in Galileo. There must be hundreds of such people in the Bay area." However, many faculty members oppose the idea of importing non-academics to teach. Favor Granting Credit The committee also recommended that students be granted academic credit for, "supervised field study." Under such a plan an education major could get credit for tutoring disadvantaged youngsters in the Oakland slums, a painting student for a group of canvases completed away from the campus, or criminology major for teaching inmates at San Quentin. This kind of work-study program was introduced by Ahtioch College, in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and has been copied by several other progressive liberal arts colleges.

The idea has had a cool reception at most large universities, however. The committee recommended "ad hoc" courses, described as courses "in which professors might be able to supply the relevant scholarly and intellectual background to matters which had aroused the immediate interest of significant elements of the student body." As examples, the committee suggested that courses on or. "The Idea and Uses of the University" or "Literary Censorship" might have been offered in the last year or two, t. In a related field the Muscatine Report suggests "problem oriented" courses, which would begin with a specific contemporary problem like "The City" or "Sino-Soviet-Ameri-can Relations," then work back to the academic disciplines involved.

8, Col. 1 MISSION ARTIFACTS A bent spoon, a broken candle holder, and a crucifix found on the grounds of the lost Mission Santa Gertrudis. Timet photo by Dick Oliver VENTURA A two-year race between freeway builders and archaeologists on a famous old California ranch seven miles inland from this coastal city was decided this week! The archaeologists won. Diggings have been completed at the little-known mission, Santa Gertrudis, lost to history for over a century. Historians no longer worry about the completion "of the Ventura to Ojai Freeway; Dead center of what by the end of the year will be northbound freeway lane construction is the perfectly intact foundation of the mission built by Franciscans and Indians about 1800.

Although not designed as one of the major California missions, Santa Gertrudis functioned as such at various times. Fra. Junipero Serra dedicated Mission San Buenaventura in Ventura Easter Sunday, 1782. Ten years later the mission was destroyed by fire. Construction on the new mission took longer than expected.

In time a temporary mission the little Mission Santa Gertrudis was erected and used for religious services until 1809 when the second church at Ventura was finally completed.

D. O'Malley, UCLA professor of medical history, organized the series. Dr. Keele expressed his belief that much of the world's "lack of sanity" stems from its loss of "seeing things in the round," the capacity that stamped Leonardo as "a universal man." "We are becoming a one-eyed society, we are losing our stereoscopic vision, and this is bad because it is like seeing the world as a child," the physician declared. In answer to the objection that today's world is far too complex to see in the round, Dr.

Keele replied: Leonardo's illustrations were a complete waste because they did not become widely known until hundreds of years later. 4 While their usefulness from a scientific standpoint was lost, the knowledge of the structure of the body beneath the skin gave the artist insight that enabled him to breathe life into his great paintings, which include "The Last and "Mona Lisa." Dr. Kenneth Keele, a consulting physician in London, England, and international authority on Leonardo, discussed in an interview the relationship between Leonardo's paintings and his study of anatomy and physiology. Dr. Keele and a group of other prominent Leonardo scholars from Europe and America will take part in an International' Symposium on Leonardo da' Vinci at UCLA from today through Sunday in the new Dickson Art Center.

This experience aroused Leonardo's curiosity about the workings of the internal organs and produced a treasury of anatomical drawings that were often unmatched for accuracy until the 2Cth century. "I did an anatomy (autopsy) to see why he died so sweetly Leonardo wrote in his famed journals, referring to the old man's quiet death. The great artist's curiosity wa3 not limited to this single case and before he died Leonardo used hi3 marvelous talents to illustrate the sympathetic nervous system, arteries twisted by age and disease, the appendix," bone joints, the cross-over of the optic nerves and numerous other structures.
