Cali 845-261 I Magazine says naps promote healthy lives NEW YORK (AP) — A nap a day could save your life, according to an article in a recent issue of Parade magazine. A study at the University of Athens Medical School points to the benefits. In the study, researchers com pared Greek men hospitalized for coronary heart disease with Greek men hospitalized for other reasons. Warped by Scott McCullar They concluded that those who nap for at least 30 minutes a day are 30 percent less likely to suffer from heart problems than those who don’t nap. “Our society looks down on naps,” says David Dinges, a psychol ogist at the University of Pennsylva nia who specializes in the study of napping. “We regard time as money and see napping either as wasteful and self-indulgent or as a sign of a men tal or physical defect.” Despite the stigma, Dinges says about one-third of Americans do nap at least once a week, and 55 percent of college students nap reg ularly.

THE RENEGADE NAZIS HAVE ENSLAVED THE LOCAL INDIANS TO DIG AND SEARCH FOR THE DIABLO STONE... AND WHO IS THIS GOO THAT THE INDIANS SHOW SUCH GREAT FEAR FOR..? Professor suggests new curriculum that includes science fiction Aims NEW YORK (AP) — If a new high school sci ence curriculum were titled like a science fiction film, it might be called “Invasion of the Brain En hancers.” Leroy W. Dubeck, a physics professor at Temple University, has drawn up a curriculum that uses such sci-fi film classics as “Forbidden Planet,” “The Andromeda Strain” and “Them!” to get young people interested in science at a time when U.S. students are finishing dead last in international comparisons on scientific knowl edge. The 185-page curriculum, “Science in Cin ema: Teaching Science Fact Through Science Fiction Films,” published by Columbia Teachers College Press, sets forth lesson plans around 10 sci-fi films that Dubeck and co-authors Suzanne E. Moshier and Judith E. Boss say have proved excellent for teaching high school science. “The purpose is to tell kids that this thing called science can be fun, and it can help me un derstand the world around me,” Dubeck said Monday in a telephone interview. He said school reformers who simply want to increase science requirements overlook the fact that “for many kids, the more science they get, the worse their attitudes are.” Dubek doesn’t claim science fiction will, by it self, cure scientific illiteracy. But test results of 398 students exposed to his curriculum in more than a dozen Philadelphia area schools in 1987- I he purpose is to tell kids that this thing called science can be fun, and it can help me understand the world around me.” — Leroy W. Dubeck, physics professor 88 showed that students gained better under standing of scientific processes and felt more positive and less fearful about the subject. “The greatest impact w f as on attitudes,” said Matthew Bruce, professor of science education at Temple, whcx coriducted the student testing. “Forbiddeni-Planet,” the 1956 classic, could easily spark a classroom discussion on relativity. Can a spaceship possibly travel faster than the speed of light? Where does Robby the Robot get his incredible energy? “The Andromeda Strain,” a 1970 film about a killer microbe from outer space, has opened up discussions on lighting AIDS. Students could get a solid botany lesson from “The Day of the Triffids,” a 1963 British offer ing featuring man-eating mutant plants from outer space. And “Them!” a chilling 1954 film alxnit a world of giant ants, depicts accurately the habits of real ants and can get students talking about whether radiation could possibly create such mammoth mutations. Other films in the curriculum, each available on videocassette, were “The Day the Earth Caught Fire,” “Destination Moon,” “When Worlds Collide,” “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” “Five Million Years to Earth,” and “Colossus: The Forbidden Project.” The immensely popular “Star Wars” was the film that inspired Dubeck to use science fiction to teach science fact. But ironically, he considers that creation too far-fetched to use as a teaching tool. “Too much of it is fantasy,” he said. “It gets all hung up with reincarnation and ‘the force.’” Ten shelter residents suffer from food poisoning SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Ten res idents of the Salvation Army shelter, who complained they had been served moldy cheese for dinner, were diagnosed as suffering from food poisoning, but shelter and health officials said Tuesday the res idents could have eaten foul food elsewhere. Three women and three children were taken to Medical Center Hospi tal and two women and two children were taken to the Downtown Baptist Hospital, where they were diag nosed as suffering from food poi soning, hospital spokesmen said. The shelter residents w^ere taken to the hospitals about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday and were released before noon, officials said. “Some got medication for nausea and were released with no follow-up appointments planned,” Medical Center spokesman Inez Eisazadeh said. The residents, members of four families, were among 300 people who had dinner at the Salvation Army shelter Monday, said Irma Es camilla, the agency’s social services director. She said after hearing com plaints of the moldy cheese Monday night, she checked the food, but found no irregularities. “Everybody gets the same thing (to eat),” Escamilla said. “It’s a small percentage of people that are com plaining. If it w r as the cheese that was bad, why didn’t any of the men . . . get sick? “The cheese was not bad, besides they refused to eat it, so I really don’t know how they could have got ten sick,” she said. Derek Matyear, director of the Metropolitan Health District’s Food Sanitation Division, said investiga tors were going to check the food at the Salvation Army. “These people may have been eat ing there or they may have eaten somewhere else,” he said. “It might not have been at the Salvation Armv and they might be getting the bum deal in all of this.” Matyear, however, acknowledged that the Salvation Army had scored poorly during an inspection last fall, but had installed fixtures to improve their rating. He said there have been no previous reports of food poison ing at the Salvation Army. Escamilla said that health official! asked them to install more light fix tures and install a wash basin in the kitchen. “It had nothing to do with the quality of the food,” she said.
