Students to study fiction Mark Twain’s Missouri, Brig ham Young’s Utah, John Stein beck’s California, and Robert Penn Warren’s Louisiana are all targets this month of 24 Newberry College students and faculty members studying A- merican fiction and contempo rary needs, issues, and politi cal philosophy. The literary-political tour is only one of the innovative cour ses being offered to Newberry College students during the January interim session. The short session gives students of the Lutheran College an oppor tunity to travel, to focus upon independent research, or to pur sue contemporary issues that are not easily included in a re gular semester’s course of study. Since much of the class work during the Interim semes ter involves off-campus work, students take only one course during the term. Each course carries four hours of credit and is graded on a pass-fail basis. “The emphasis on the course,” Dr. Robert Carley, head of the department of poli tical science at Newberry, and William Shore, assistant pro fessor of English, said, “is the revelance of fiction and politi cal science to man in modern society. Novels and short sto ries will be used to focus at tention on current issues.” The westward trek of students began January 4, when the group left Newberry by char tered bus; they will return Ja nuary 25. Major stops for their study include Hannibal and In dependence, Mo., Albilene, Kan sas, Salt Lake City, Utah, Reno, Nevada, San Francisco, Calif., El Paso, Texas, and New Or leans, La. In addition to the visits to the scenes of some of Ameri ca’s major fiction, the colle gians will not neglect the class room. They will attend seminar sessions at the University of Nevada and Louisiana State University. They will also have an opportunity for sightseeing along the tour route and a quick trip to Mexico when the group stops at El Paso. Sophomore, Kenneth M. Paul of 2025 Glenn St., Newberry, is taking the travel course with the group. What's The Difference? There is a difference in home loans.
