SOCIAL SCIENCE TEACHERS eagerly sought to prepare students for their present and future citizenship responsibili- ties. With the recent adoption of the 18- year-old vote, the accomplishment of this goal became even more vital. William Ruby, department head, empha- sized the importance of exposing students to the academic side of history and gov- ermnent, while at the same time develop- ing an understanding of how these con- cepts relate to their own personal lives and what their roles in American society entail. Intense discussions provided students with the opportunity to express their opinions on such political philosophies as national- ism, imperialism, conservatism, and liberal- ism. Teachers encouraged students to recognize the immense degree of compli- cation involved in what may appear to be a simple concept on the surface. In addi- tion, instructors discouraged premature judgments and pre-conceived opinions. - 51 mf it FT!
