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.

Adequate wiring helps make play of so
many household chores because you can
make electrical appliances do their full
share of work.
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.
