The purpose of the Semesters Abroad is to immerse the student in a foreign culture and thus provide him or her with a vital learning experience that may not be had in the ordinary classroom. Mary Feagins states that the semester abroad in Munich, Germany, scheduled for the fall of 1978, "should appeal to any student interested in a learning experience in a different culture." The student abroad, who need not know a word of German, would receive twelve to sixteen hours of academic credit, which would serve to fulfill different distribution requirements. The courses that will be available are: "Introduction to Philosophy," with special emphasis placed on German Friends meeting in Goldsboro, Mt. Airy and New Castle, Ind. Guthrie is president of the High Point Ministers Alliance and a member of the board of advisors of the Maryfield Nursing Home, the Salvation Army and the Earlham School of Religion. He is a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason and a Kiwanian. Guthrie and his wife, the former Betsy Joyce West of Roseboro, have two daughters, Sharon and Wendy. Philosophers, "Introduction to Opera," again with a special German accent, to be taught by Carroll Feagins; Introductory and Advanced German, or Intermediate German, to be taught by Mary Feagins; and one course in German history or civilization, in addition to a course in European or German government, which will be taught by lecturers from the University of Munich. The course will be conducted in English. In addition, the student will be given the option of working out an inde pendent study. German instruction will be provided at various levels according to student need. It is hoped that everyday fluency will be acquired. The benefits of the Munich location are many! Munich is one of the cultural centers of Germany, with much history and many fine museums, including one of the finest Changes in Dean's Office With last Fall's resignation of Dr. Cyril A. Harvey as Academic Dean, a search committee had been appointed to secure a replacement. Recently, however, the committee recommended that the job structure of the Office of the Dean be changed. Through intensive and extensive exploration and consultation, the President of the College, Grimsley Hobbs, and the Dean's Search Committee came to the reali zation that two Deans, not one, were needed. One posi tion was seen as that of chief academic officer, whose major responsibility would be leadership in and the coordin ation of all aspects of the college's academic program. The person filling the second position would be a man or woman whose chief concern would be the recruitment, maintenance, development and welfare of the faculty and the development of the curric ulum. The fi.ot we have called the Dean of Academic Affairs, responsible to the President. The second will be called Dean of the Faculty, a position answerable to the Dean of Semester in Germany art gallerys in the world, the Alto Pinakothek, and one of the finest science museums in the world. Munich, the capital of Bavaria, is centrally located within easy access of France, Switzerland, Austria, and the Alps. The scenic Alps offer mountain climbing and skiing. In addition, the area is re nowned for its many beautiful lakes. The semester students will maintain close contact with the University of Munich, which will place students in private German homes within walking distance of the Univ ersity. In addition, the student will have access to the Univer sity classrooms and library. Students would eat in the University cafeteria on class days Monday through Thurs day, and be free to pursue their individual interests over the long weekend. Cafeteria meals will provide the Guilford student with ample chance to mingle with the .University Academic Affairs. A statement of the job descriptions is attached. With the agreement of the Search Committee, the Faculty Affairs Committee and the Clerk's Committee, Grimsley Hobbs, has appointed Bruce Stewart Interim Dean of Academic Affairs, his title to be changed to Dean of Academic Affairs when he has completed all require ments for the doctorate. Having reached agreement on the job descriptions, the Search Committee is launching a national search for the person to fill the position of Dean of the Faculty. Ads are being placed in the Chronicle of Higher Education and notices sent to a number of institutions, with a closing date of February 14. All members of the Guilford community are invited to submit additional names, requesting only that you inform the person whose name you are submitting and state that you have done so. in your nominating statement. Your nominations should be sent to John Stoneburner. students and faculty. The students will be free to take full advantage of campus activites and organizations. The cost for the semester would be the same as that of the London semester. Students would pay the regular semester fees for tuition, room and board, plus 250 dollars for one-way air fare. It recommended that the student provide for an extra 500 dollars to cover travel, shopping, and recreational expenses. Any financial aid the student is receiving for on-campus studies would apply.
