Doesn't that sound interesting, and it is, especially when one of your own classmates is brought before the court and tried by a student jury. The Economics division centers attention on the Whys and wherefores of living conditions in the world-like why Brazil exports coffee and Argentina Wool, Why the Canary Islands exports canaries, or donlt they? Marching along in line with this section, we find the answer to the question of why some people live in flats and some in towers, why some businesses are sound and some bankrupt, why our salary never catches up to the bills. Dignified Civics struts by, delving into the deep, dark annals of the basic principles of American government, tells what makes a law unconstitutional, a senator tick, and that even you can be president of the United States. Constantly changing, History strolls by our vantage point, vivifying the heroic struggle of man- kind in the previous centuries as well as revealing astounding details of what went on behind the romantic adventures and dramatic wars. Of course you know that Columbus discovered America, but can you safely name the date? What was Ponce De Leonis fountain of youth, a soda fountain or What?
