While the instruction at the care center will be conducted by the Family Lite department, the labor and help will be, hopefully, supplied by the students and other interested persons.

"Black studies must be geared to the question of Black development on all levels - political, economic, cultural and social." Thus began Tyron Couey, co-professor of Black history class being taught this quarter and last Friday's guest speaker on "Black Studies in the University," a symposium conducted in conjunction with Black Emphasis Week. Consider Present Situation
Panel views Black studies; USU classes only a start
Coey said the program had to begin with a careful consideration of the necessities of the present situation and with the ultimate possibilities for a change in this society. "There is a readiness," said Couey, "to equate certain unequatable factors in life. You cannot equate the inclusion of Black studies in the university at this juncture with the status of other studies, because if that were true there would be no special urgency to have Black studies." Problems in Program
He said that one problem with the programs is that basically all the professors teaching Black history courses are white, which makes some people "uptight." But he said that we must "use what staff resources we have, black and white." As a journey of 1,000miles starts with the first step, Couey said that the Black history and literature classes at Utah State are a start but the history class is only taught one quarter per year --in the spring. More Research Needed
In order to increase the students' understanding of the Blacks' culture Couey sees a need for more research and teachers in the field as well as money to produce more classes in Black studies. A proposal requiring everyone to take a Black history class to be able to cope with life after leaving the university society brought the most discussion during the question-answer period. Mandatory Class?
One Black in the audience posed the question: "If whites cannot be reached individually how can they be reached in a classroom (when the class is mandatory)?" Couey brought ap~lause from Blacks and whites alike when he answered saying, "We don't want them to know. We need them to know if they want to know."
