BLACK STUDIES The newest developments in Black Studies is the creation of a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a major in Black Studies, while at the same time there is work being done on a draft for a masters program. A new course in this program is dealing with a study in Black Power. To continue to improve the role of the Black Studies program at CSU, Charles Mosley, Director of Black Studies, has established the Africa Association for Black Studies. This Association is to be a national clearing house and workshop for directors and interested students in Black Studies. On February 25 and 26 the first workshop was held. It was very successful with students coming from as far as New Mexico. The offices of Black Studies are housed in the Black Culture Center, and many times they work in conjunction with each other. Some of their programs include a summer program for the children in the Englewood Community. This program includes field trips, arts and crafts and tutoring. When the cam- pus moves to the new location, the summer program will gradually be phased out of the Englewood Com- munity and into the Roseland Community.

BUSINESS DYE-NAM ICS After careful research, Dr. Franklin Dye, the new chairman of the Business department, has revised the Business curriculum, meeting both requirements of the Chicago Board of Education and the Illinois Certification program. The key to the new program is flexibility; starting with the proposed program OASIA, Office of Administrative Science and Intership Service. OASIS leads to a bachelor of science and trains students for jobs as executive secretaries and administrative assistants. The Business department will continue to ready students for teaching business plus offer a new program in business administration. In Business education there are no longer teaching options of Accounting, Business Training, and Stenography. All students are now in the general business teaching program. A new core of required courses was instituted to strengthen the program including two 2 hours methods courses rather than one three hour course. Fourteen hours in electives are taken in the field which most interests the student like typing or bookkeeping. To Insure proper counseling. Dr. Dye has assigned every business teaching stu- dent to an advisor to assist in program planning. Half-trimester all day student teaching will become a reality next September. This will provide for better course schedules, doubling student teaching stations, and provide suburban schools for student teaching assignments. Those students who would prefer the morning half-day student teaching for the entire trimester will be allowed this option. All the revisions In the business program are centered around one ob- jective and that is to provide the business student of CSU with the curriculum that will provided him with the best background for the career of his choice.
