ociolf ' gaiw A new addition to the Social Studies Department is a course in black history and cullture, termed Social Problems. Mr. Siedlecki, who teaches the class, has made remarkable progress in teaching blacks as well as whites the importance ofthe black man in American history. Students cover black leaders from Toussaint L'ouverture, liberator of Haiti, to Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, the Negro's part in U.S. history such as the founding of the country and the industrial revolution, up until our present involvement in Vietnam. Also discussed is the civil rights move- ment from its beginnings to the full blown struggle for rights which developed in the sixties. During the past year the course has steadily gained popularity. lt is offered as an elective to seniors who are inter- ested in learning about black history on an in depth, personal level.

temp keguotesl-l The Human Relations Council was originally organized to promote better relations between blacks and whites. With few inter-racial incidents at Tech these days, the committee has had time to branch out into other interests. One project was sponsoring Black History Week, a salute to outstanding Black Americans and their works. Another was recognition of Jewish holidays in the fall. The group also set up a Human Relations Shelf in the Library to display and offer books, periodicals and pamphlets. The usual trip to Tech feeder School 101 was a big job, trying to explain the Tech Way to someone who has never seen it in action. 4 I 'S 1 ' XXJ I XX- - 'N'-X if I 0 l xy as-Xe C K l y Nun xx Q O ' iopgf.-ff' f' f qflxr KJ O-if if 'Q DOUG McDANlEL, Carol Randolph, Wanda Snow, and Debbie Shaw, members of the Human Rela- tions Committee, discuss activities at an early morning meeting. l C.. 1 l HUMAN RELATIONS-FRONT ROW: Wanda L.
