This might well be the ques tion that Newberry College stu dents are asking themselves this month as they plan their course work for the new 4-1-4 plan which the college introduc ed in September. The 4-1-4 calendar, which re places the traditional semester system, consists of two four- month terms in the fall and spring, and the one month “in terim semester” scheduled for January. The classes going to Europe to study English and Scottish history and culture and French history language and culture are two of the 41 classes offered under the new plan. Other courses planned which will take the students away from the campus for the “1” semes ter will be a theatre repertory company which will tour South Carolina.

Game time is 7:30 on Setzler Field. Concord makes its first trip to South Carolina and will be looking for their first win of the season, their record being 0 and 4. Last year the Moun tain Lions were defeated on their home ground by the In dians on a 27-6 score, and they are sure to be trying to reverse that figure. Even though the West Virgin ia team has not shown a win this season, they have lost only one game by more than one touchdown. So the Lions are not an easy team to beat, espec ially with an outstanding passing attack, which features sopho more flanker Jim Beckett. Also outstanding on offense is quart erback Scott Humphrey, who is a fine drop-back quarterback, and handles the running offense very well. This week host Newberry has been busy preparing for Con cord’s unusual split four defense which complicates blocking as signments for the offensive line- Mrs. Houseal, former city resident, dies Mrs. Esther Wilcox Houseal, 77, wife of Dr. Robert W.
