RESEARCH
Panic
Do you experience brief, unexpected periods of intense fear or
discomfort?
Have you visited your doctor or the hospital emergency room because of
chest pains, shortness of breath, numbness or tingling sensations and
find out that you have no physical problems?
These occurrences may have been panic attacks.
VIP Research is conducting a study on Panic Disorder. Individuals
with symptoms of panic attacks are being recruited to participate
in a three month study of an investigational medication for the
treatment of panic disorder. If you would like more information,
call VIP Research. $200.00 will be paid to those individuals who
qualify and complete the study.

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."
