Clinton Students In Independent Wofford Study SPARTANBURG - Students at Wofford College have begun their annual one-month of independent study. The month of January has been set aside as the Interim between the two regular four- month semesters in which a student selects one project for concentrated and indepth study. Students from the Clinton area and their projects include: Wil liam H. Davidson, “The Origins of the American Revolution"; David T. Plaxico, "Institutional Medicine”; and Claude David Rose Jr., “South Carolina Lit erature". During the Interim a student is allowed to select one subject to investigate from 120 different projects. The student then be comes totally involved in the study of the one project through seminars, library and laboratory research and field trips. General theme of the January Interim is “South Carolina: Yes terday, Today, and Tomorrow." Several of the Interim projects will be related to this theme with authorities in fields of state and federal government, education, and history speaking on campus. These projects will also involve field trips, library research, and special seminars. The Interim is designed to give each of Wofford’s 1,000 students an indepth study in one parti cular subject not usually taught in the classroom and approved by the faculty. At the end of the one- month Interim, each student will receive a grade of “pass with honors,” “pass,” or “fail.” Interim projects move beyond traditional classroom courses and teaching methods to consider timely, relevant topics; to ob serve issues in action; and to de velop capacities for independent scholarship.

But with your use of electric pov^r doubling every 10 years, your present wiring system may be inadequate to meet your current needs. If your TV picture flickers, lights dim and appliances operate sluggishly, chances are your wiring system isn’t ade quate for your present use of electricity. For safety’s sake, have your wiring checked.
