Human Rights Dag - Awareness Arouses Confusion for Seniors Realizing that preiudices were preve- lant, Senior Social Problems classes sponsored a second annual Human Rights Day on January 30. Keynote speaker, Dr. Paul Cashman, vice- president ot student attairs at the Uni- versity ot Minnesota, initiated the day with a speech explaining the art ot com- munication. Seniors listened to six panels consist- ing ot representatives from the Jewish, Negro, and Indian communities. The speakers told ot personal experiences, expressed their feelings about the meth- ods and problems ot the current civil rights movement, and answered ques- tions posed by students. The day concluded in a reaction panel in which students discussed tacts and opinions expressed throughout the day. Although the one day program could not erase preiudice, it brought feelings into the open. Students were en- couraged to examine more caretully their own views.
