Social Science Potential Rounded Out
By Economics Major, Sociology Co-op
East Side, West Side, all around the town is roughly
the route followed by the New York City interim group
during their investigation of “The City and the Arts
*69.** Course instructors were Mr. Charles and Dr.
Grant. Ill
Fourteen Philologists
Freak Out In Fun City
Fourteen students earned Eng-
lish or Art credit (their choice)
in "The City and the Arts*69"
under the joint instruction of Mr.
Charles F. Charles (Art) and
Dr. Allen Grant (English). Nine
TLC'ers and five Southwestern
University students participated
in this course consisting of a two-
week tour of Manhattan followed
by one week of reading, dis-
cussion, and Budweiser in Seguin,
McQueeney, and San Antonio.
Activities in the visual arts
included tours of Manhattan's six
most import art museums and one
full day of visiting art galleries
on 57th Street. Students whose
contact with modern art had been
limited soon began to groove ab-
stract painting, pop art, modern
sculpture, and minimal art.
These forms are often un-
impressive when seen in maga-
zines, but when actually in their
presence the viewer finds they
relate to him so forcefully and
engagingly that he finds himself
responding before his prejudices
can stop hire.
The class became acquainted
with some new directions in the
American threatre while attend-
ing Broadway's trival love-rock
musical HAIR and an off-Broad-
way experimental drama entitled
RIOT, which subjects the audi-
ence to the gut-jolting experience
of a race-war. Cassavettes'
fine new film FACES was also
viewed.
Singly or in groups, the class
toured Greenwich Village, China
Town, Wall Street, the Stock
Exchange, the Statue of Liberty,
md the Empire State Building.
Students pursued their individual
tastes by independently attend-
ing dramatic productsions, rock
concerts, light - shows, and
Metropolitan operas.
Literature assignments were
concentrated in reading and dis-
cussion of the "beat" writers
Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac,
Gregory Corso, and Michael Mc-
Clure.
The class was seemingly un-
animous in its belief that the
whole gig was not only well worth
doing this year but probably well
worth doing again.
If you've always wanted to
major in economics, here's your
chance. If you are interested
in social work, get ready.
By next year, TLC will offer
a complete major in economics,
taught by a returning professor,
Mr. Frank Glesber. Also, a
cooperative program has been
set up such that a student may
have minimal training as a so-
cial worker, but still follow his
chosen major.
"With the economics major,
the department of social sci-
ences has rounded out its po-
tential, and we're now looking
forward to expansion in the areas
of geography and anthropology,"
according to Mr. Baumbach, head
of the department.
He feels that interest in eco-
nomics is growing rapidly due to
the growing significance of eco-
nomics in government. Several

present TLC students have ex-
pressed an interest in this ma-
jor, but the overall worth cannot
be measured for several years
because some students may have
chosen not to come to TLC due
to a lack of such a major.
Mr. Glesber will teach half
economics and half business ad-
ministration for two years be-
fore going into economics full-
time. He graduated from TLC
in 1958, a history major. He
went to law school at the Uni-
versity of Texas after which he
became County Attorney for Fay-
ette County, He did graduate
work in economics, again at
UT, and taught at TLC one year
before he began work on his Ph.
D. Degree.
Several new courses offered
will include: Social Control of
Industry, Public Finance, and
Development of Economic
Thought. Some of these new
courses will be offered with an
option of government credit.
The Sociology coop program
officially called, "The Under-
graduate Social Welfare Se-
quence," is a pre-professional
progi-am. Upon completion, stu-
dents will be certified by the
Worden School of Social ser-
vice, a branch of Our Lady of
the Lake College, and the oldest
school of social service.
Three courses will be com-
pleted on campus here. These
are: Delinquency and Crimi-
nology, Social Problems, and The
Community, all being taught by
Mr. Baumbach. Field service
will be required either during
junior and senior Interims or
during the summer. Two re-
maining courses will be taken
at Our Lady of the Lake Col-
lege in the summer between the
junior and senior years, and
the students will only be charged
tuition.
The main objectives of this
program are to help alleviate
an exceedingly great shortage
of social workers, to fill many
positions not requiring graduate
training, and to give experience
in the field so that an unde-
cided student may And out if
this is the way he would like
to spend his life-
