According to Joe Liles, SPW committee chairman, "This year promises to be the best Special Projects Week we've ever had. because we have the benefit of three year's trial and error." The SPW committee has coordinated extensive preparation for this event, most recently concentrating on publicizing Idea Week (December 5-9). The committee is hoping to encourage more independent student projects to go* along with mini-courses sponsored by faculty and staff members, and field trips, two of the other popular SPW activities in past years. Guidelines have been established for SPW. Each project must have significant academic and intellectual content, not limited to iust science and mathematics disciplines. The committee will also coordinate needs for funding, and everyone is urged to minimize the expense to the school. But, as Liles savs, "if you come up with a great idea, we'll try to fund it." This year's SPW will be slightly longer than previous ones, because it will include weekend activities. :f
