UCSB, Social Studies Flexibility In Courses Attracts Enthusiasm This year the Sori.il Studies Depaitment has worked to in- crease flexibility in teachers and curriculum. Because of the recent revision of graduation requirements, which now necessitate only four semesters of Social Studies, the emphasis is being placed on relevance and interesting presentations to attract students to the courses. Their latest addition to the currinilum is the Minority Groups course. It was brought about primarily because of today ' s emphasis in society on race relations. These racial problems are finally being discussed from an objective nonpolitical standpoint. Psychology and sociology courses are most appealing to students this year. These are beneficial to today ' s adolescent in search of answers. Students are enthusiastic about these classes which are personally relevant and helpful in understanding existing problems.

Fo reignL nguages Cure For International Communication Breakdown The Foreign Language Department has a steadily declining en- rollment. This is partially due tn the popular belief that Latin is a dead language. This has forced several courses, especially Latin courses, to be dropped from the curriculum. The Spanish 9-10 class is also non- e.xistent this year because of the lack of student enrollment. One asset to this department has been a more challenging Spanish text tried out by the first year Spanish classes. This trial has been suc- cessful so the whole series will be bought and used. Regarding teaching methods, more use has been made of visual aids especially overhead projectors. Clase, estes papeles son niuy interesantes. (Mr. Lamb) Mi.
