The book, published in January by the University of Tennessee Press, traces the history of slavery among the Cherokee Indians and the use of forced labor—including African slaves—to increase agricultural production. A member of the WCU faculty since 1975, Dr. Perdue holds the bachelor's degree from Mercer University and master's and doctoral degrees from the University of Georgia. She has published several scholarly articles on the social and economic history of the Cherokees. Dr. Perdue is a member of the Southern Historical Association, the Southern Anthropological Society, the Association for the Study of Afro-American History and Life, and the American Association of University Counselors advise In an environment such as WCU, minorities find it extremely difficult to adjust. There is virtually no black community and a limited number of social resources and activities that would appeal to minorities. Because of this there is an extreme need to provide some type of activity that would help minority students cope and adjust to unusual or unfavorable circumstances. The CAP Center Counseling Component will offer a developmental group titled "Coping Skills for Minorities." The focus of the group will be upon participants helping each other learn ways to survive in an environment of unusual and unique circumstances. This will be the first time a group of this nature has been offered. Hopefully this experience will serve as a foundation where other activities can be implemented calendar THURSDAY, JANUARY 25 UCB Ski Trip to Sapphire Valley, Reservations must be made by January 23, 3 p.m., fee must be oaid in full when reservation is made, only 15 available reservations, $6 per person (includes equipment rental, lift ticket and transportation) 7-30 a m.
