    Because of this leaning toward college prep, the two economics classes have been cut to one for the coming year. Geography classes have been affected in the same way.
    For the next school year chemistry registration has decreased and biology and senior math increased. Arts and crafts is being extended to include a second year course.
    Because only 12 students registered for advanced Latin, that course will be dropped from the schedule. But the administration hopes that it will be reinstated in '61.
    For ninth graders, general math is being offered. Homemaking for senior girls has been reinstated and Spanish added to the curriculum.
    Because girls' glee club has been discontinued, it will be possible to have two mixed choruses, one for the juniors and seniors and the other for freshmen and sophomores.

Commission (FEPC) press conference on May 11, in the McGregor Building on Wayne State Campus. The purpose of this conference was to acquaint high school students with the FEPC.
    The commission, backed by state law which prohibits the discrimination for jobs by employers because' of race, creed, or nationality, strives to educate the people and make them aware of their rights.
    Through this commission, a person who feels discrimination has been used against him may have his case investigated. If the discrimination is proved, the respondent is called in for a meeting. If the respondent persists in using discrimination, the commission can call for a public hearing for violation of the law.
     The best reason for the existence of the commission, however, can be summed up in words of Mr. Alex Fuller, Chairman: "If we wish to win the friendship of other peoples for our system of government, we must first show them that we have the right system of government."
