SURPASS BE HELD AT CAROLINA Plans are underway for the second SURPASS program at the University of South Caro lina. SURPASS is Summer Univer sity Residential Program for Academically Superior Students and last year it was a resound ing success, USC officials say. In place of conventional teach ing methods, SURPASS offers high school students a different approach to academic mater ials, game simulation, cultural events and other unstructured experiences. A parent of one student who participated last year said the SURPASS approach to educa tion proved to be a stimulating and maturing experience for the student, much more stimu lating than high school. “Project SURPASS is an at tempt to understand the widen ed vistas of science and engi neering in this technological age and its explosive impact of soc iety as it touches individuals,’’ says David Meabon, who will direct this summer’s program. Meabon said a sense of be longing, participating and mak ing decisions within a peer group will set the pace for the entire program. Rising juniors and seniors in high school are eligible to parti cipate in SURPASS this July 26—Aug. 22. Further informa tion and application are avail able from the Division of Stu dent Affairs, USC, Columbia, S. C. 29208.
