The College adopted the Inte rim calendar in 1969; it con sists of two four-month terms, beginning in September and February and the one month Interim session in January. Dur ing the short January semester each student takes only one course. “We want the students to take courses as innovative, imagina tive, and experimental as pos sible,” Dr. Glenn Whitesides, Newberrys academic dean and coordinator for the Interim ses sion, said. “The short semes ter,” he continued, “gives stu dents an opportunity for ex tended work in an area of their choice that is not usually cov ered during the regular school year.” Fifteen Newberrians will par ticipate in a British History and Culture Tour led by Foster Far ley, assoiate professor of his tory. The trip will concentrate upon the famous landmarks and personalities that have in fluenced the course of Bristish history. Th history, language, culture, and literature of France and Spain will come into sharper locus for the Newberrians choos ing a course that will take them to these countries as well as corners of Switzerland and Italy. Under the direction of Verdan Traylor, assistant pro fessor of French and of Spa nish,. the travelers will visit and study in Paris, Geneva, Turin (Italy) and Barcelona along the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Speech and music students will tour area high schools with f. production of “Fiddler on the Roof” in late January; they will spend the firs* portion of the Interim in rehearsing lines, learning songs, building sce nery, and making costumes for the traveling road show.
