European tours
planned for
interim session
The British Isles, and parts
of France, Italy, Spain, and
Switzerland as well as New
York and various sections of
the southeast will be the class
room for Newberry College stu
dents in January after they re
turn to their classes after the
Christmas holiday break.
The Newberrians will be
studying, working, flying and
traveling as they begin the Col
lege’s fourth January Interim.
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.
Some of the students will be
working by themsevles in In
dependent Study courses that
will involve work off-campus
in such widely varied fields as
wilderness living, police work,
and a project to aid in the
revitalization of the Charleston
downtown business district.
Another group of students will
be working as interns for Cer
tified Public Accountants in
South Carolina while another
group will have instruction that
will involve ground training and
15 hours of flight instruction
applicable to the certification
of private pilots.
Not of all of Newberry’s 775
students will have their class
room off-campus in January.
Many of them will stay in New
berry and work on special pro
jects in the natural sciences,
the humanities, or the fine
arts.
