Shultz Addresses SIXTEEN SENIORS RECEIVE ; Human Relations Council COMMENDATION LETTERS Dispensing with business, the Human Relations Council listened to remarks of the guest speaker, Principal Robert J. Shultz, at the meeting Tuesday. Mr. Shultz began by defining human relations as the mutual and interrelated actions of Individuals. He emphasized that human relations do not Concern only race problems. For example, in business, personnel coordinators preserve harmony between employers and employees. The responsibility and position of the Human Relations Council at Shortridge parallels the duties of the personnel director 1n lndustry,_a c c o r d i n g to Mr. Shultz. 'That is, it "must act as a grievanct discussion group. If the*-members feel that a true and overlooked issue ls a*,, stake, they shout* send a committee to the administration to present the problem. Mr. Shultz pointed out that grievances tend to disappear when they are discussed. In general, the principal feels that the Council should serve as * a sounding board. In a community of 2,500 people, such as Shortridge, there must be some problems if there is any change and improvement of surrounding conditions. Some specific changes, however, may not be good for the general group. Someone, such as the Human Relations Council, must help evaluate what actually ls good for the group. This duty makes the organization a stop-gap for petty misunderstandings. Shortridge is recognized as one of the best-integrated situations ta a midwestern school. Race relations are free at Shortridge because a person is judged by his Intrinsic value, rather than color of skin. Mr. Shultz praised last spring's human relations conference as "fabulous." Speaking of the history of the Council, Mr. Shultz emphasized Its value at Shortridge. He emphasized that the organization must remain a discussion forum to aid in solving small problems; it also has a responsibility to consult the administration if it feels justified. The organization must make all SHS pupils realize that they represent Shortridge, said the principal. Too many are underachieving, and must be encouraged to work harder. The basic problem, the speaker stated, in low achievement is the poor reading level of students. Seventy per cent of. the present freshman class scored below 8.8, the freshman level, on the Stanford Achievement Tests taken in the spring of 8th grade. Therefore, a definite need exists to 'spur these students to learn better reading. 'Ministers of churches in the Shortridge district have been contacted by Mr. Shultz.

His At the first meeting of the Junior Policy Committee on October 15, Bill Shullenberger, junior class president, raised the question about the selection of the junior class sergeant-at- arms, since there had been no candidate for this office during the election.
