South Carolina College To Try Ships in Port New Curriculum Approach HARTSVILLE, S.C. (AP/AFRTS)-- A coed stopped at the bulletin board and tacked up a note requesting a class in Hindu mysticism. A middle-age professor waited his turn, then pinned up a notice that he was available to teach a class in extrasensory perception. Other notes fluttered from the large board, most of them recommending courses for the coming fall semester. This is the campus of Coker College, a small, private, liberal arts school in northeastern South Carolina where sweeping changes are being made in the approach to high- er education. Responsible for the changes is the president of Coker, Dr. Gus Turbeville, a 46-year-old sociology scholar who returned to his native South Carolina in October after years of teaching in the Midwest. "The new curriculum," Turbeville said in an interview recently, "goes into effect in September, but we already are getting a strong indication of what courses the students want, especially through our bulletin board system." Turbeville said if a student tacks up a request for a course and at least four other students indicate they want the class, "We immediately start looking for a qualified person to teach it. "By the same token, if a member of our faculty offers to teach a certain course and five students or more sign up, then we'll offer the subject, regardless of what it may be." These courses will be elective but will carry full credit toward graduation.

Students will still be required to take courses in four of six Eroad areas of study and major in one of them: English grammar-litetature, foreign language, math and lab science, behavioral science, social studies and the arts. But Turbeville says, "We are trying to eventually make it an all-elective curriculum so as to attract the scholars to Coker." Turbeville said his efforts to liberalize and revo- lutionize the 350-student college "has brought offers from more than 100 citizens of Hartsville to teach The ammunition ship USS Diamond Head (AE certain courses in which they have become expbirts." 119), seen here from the stern, is one of And the students have reacted with enthusiasm, he 12 ships in Guantanamo Bay for exercises says.
