Social Studies Revises Present Curriculum The social studies department tries to cover all corners of the world whether it be in current events or history courses. lts most recent project is to revise and enrich its curriculum so students may take advantage of the important non-west- ern world. Such a study would include many of the newly formed African countries, the Middle East and the Orient. The value of this and of the entire social studies department is to expose stu- dnts to different types of cultures. Sociology and economics are also offered in this department. Sociology is the study of man in relation to his society. How man makes a living by satisfying his wants and needs is taken up in economics.
