Multi-cultural studies program integrated in departments Multi-cultural studies isn't something new. But it is a new concept within the r ealms of math and science. Instructors Ernest Shiwanov and Ed win Groschwitz in the sciences and Stephen Hinthorne of the Math Department, originated an idea to institute a multicultural science and math program. And the idea is becoming a reality. Whe n Hinthorne heard of the Science Department's idea to start a multi - cultural class, he felt the math department also needed to offer such a course, and both departments set up a course structure. This summer Chemistry 30 and Math 105 will offer new avenues of learning for the bi-lingual student and the culturally handicapped. "My idea," Shiwanov said, "was to find that individual who is having difficulty in understanding chemistry through language barriers, and use this class as a means to tearing down these barriers.' ' Together with the administration, Paul Jacques , director of multi- cultural stud ies, strongly e ndorses the concept. ''The Chicano students has been directed away from studies in these fields," he said. "Instead, they have been herded into s hop and horne economics cour ses because of their cultural handicap. This program will open new doors for the Chicano student. The Chemistry course is transferrable along with fulfilling state requirements for general education. "The c lasses," states Shiwanov, "will pro-
vide the background for further s tudies in these areas. The material will be more expansive , descriptive a nd more fully expla natory. In doing this we will provid e more demonstrations and more time for expe rim entation.' • "English nomenclature," Shiwanov added, "will be presented simultaneously . wi th Spanis h so students can fully understand the transition. ' ' Although the classes are aimed primarily at the culturally handicapped, they a r e open to all students. ''T he general student," Jacques said, "should also investigate the multi - cultura l s tudies . It can be a learning process for all s tudents."
