The Elon College stu dents and faculty, who resumed regular class work on Tuesday morning, January 14th, entered up on a new experiment in scheduling as they em barked on the first so- called “mlnl-term” in E- lon history, and the ad- mlnistrtlon, faculty and students were disposed to call the new Idea a suc cessful one at the end of the first full week. "The mlnl-term” Is a mid-winter session of one month duration, in- Five Lyceum Numbers Set The coming spring se mester will bring a series of five attractive and en tertaining Elon Lyceum programs, according to the schedule that has al ready provided five other fine Lyceum numbers during the past fall se mester. Ann Woodward, virtuo so violinist, will appear on February 18th, in the first of the series of spring term program; and she will be followed on March 10th by Vladimir Ussachevsky, one of the outstanding experts on electric music in the world. Other later attractions include the National Ope ra Company presenting “Don Pacquale” on March 25th; Simon Pres ton, organist, in recital on April 13th; and finally the Eastman Brass Quin tet from Eastman School of Music on April 22nd. terspersed between two four months semesters in the fall and spring, being thus arranged as a fea ture of Elon’s new 4-1-4 calendar program, which was adopted for this 1968- 69 year by faculty vote last spring. The fact that the en rollment for this first short mid-winter session reached nearly 1,300 stu dents is a big factor in terming it a success. A report from Prof. Robert Gwaltney, college regis trar, stated that there were 1,275 students re gistered when the regu lar registration ended on Monday, January 13th. He stated, too, that late re gistrants pushed the total to nearly 1,300 students. In speaking of the new plan. President J.E.Dan ieley stated that the ad ministrative officials are pleased with the enroll ment, and they feel that registration for “mlnl- term” classes will prob ably rise to higher fig ures in future years. The new plan, which provides for a 4-months fall semester to start in September and end in De cember, made It possible for the students to get off their fall exams be fore leaving for Christ mas holidays. The plan also made possible this year an added week of Christmas vacation time. The individual students carried a standard load of courses during that four-months fall term, and they will do the same during the spring semes ter that gets underway in February. However, each students carries only one course ^during this four weeks “mini-term” that is now in progress. Such a schedule enables the individual students to concentrate on the sin gle course, getting in some intensive study. The various courses are being taught on somewhat flex ible schedules, with each class covering the great est possible amount of material on the short space of time. This flexible schedul ing makes possible a number of new experi ments in teaching, one of which is the trip to Eng land for a group of stu dents, a trip which is covered in detail in an other story in this issue of the Maroon and Gold. Another special course is one now in progress in the dramatics depart ment, with special work on a program to be carried into high schools of the area. The short term will come to an end early in February, with registra tion to be held for the four-months spring se mester on Monday, Feb ruary 10th, and with spring term classes to begin on Tuesday, Febru ary 11th.
