CALL Volunteers in Pharmaceutical Research, Inc. 776-1417 Course Continued from Page 1 used to satisfy requirements in the college. This requirement would supply a list of about 30 to 40 classes that would fit into the curriculum, and would only be required for liberal arts majors. "Students who have a rather narrow provincial perspective here can get away with it be cause they're at a predominant ly white institution where everyone thinks alike," Oliver said. Oliver said students should be prepared for a society in which, more than likely, they will end up working for and with minorities and women, and having a cultural require ment as a part of the curriculum would not only prepare stu dents for success after college, but also for life in general. "I think the curriculum, for a large part, can prepare them for those cultural differences," Oliver said. "All students, not just white students, become more in formed about and therefore sen sitive to cultural differences," Oliver said. "They become more thoughtful more respect ful; it's not a question of politi cal correctness and being over ly sensitive, it's simply recog nizing that the different racial groups in this country have had histories, historical experiences that are significantly different from the white experiences." Schmidt also believes in hav ing a required multicultural curriculum, and believes a gen eral multicultural course is a starting point. "As far as the idea of what we generally consider a multi cultural curriculum, that would be multiculturalism infused in every class in every subject," Schmidt said. "I think that's something that's going to come way down in the future." Schmidt said that A&M is working through decades and decades of monoculturalism, and some of the ideas and prac tices will be difficult to undo. She thinks that a positive short-term goal is sensitivity training — communicating the point that people need to be aware of differing cultural per spectives. She feels also that individual ized courses such as African- American history might not be very useful to a developing cul ture where human relations would be useful. "You could take a course in African-American history, I think that's good — but it's not the answer,'^Schmidt said. She believes that a course on cross- cultural relations would be much more beneficial. "Our society is evolving and our educational system needs to evolve just like our society," Schmidt said. "In order to pre pare our students to be success ful once they leave here, it is the University's obligation to pro vide them with what they need." Schmidt, who teaches a course called "Leadership in a Multicultural Society" agrees with Oliver that the curriculum must be required. "I think it should be a re quirement," Schmidt said. "I think the University needs to decide for a student to be con sidered to receive a degree of higher education, multicultural- ism should be part of the de gree." Schmidt said that the issue of multicultural awareness is not so much an idea of being politi cally correct, but rather an issue of human relations. "This is not learning how to censor your language, it's learn ing how to understand differ ences."
