Change in semester length to be studied
Call lt the Jan Plan, winter j
terra, Interim, or inter session,
by a simple change In the tradl-
Uonal two-semester school year,
students- In approximately 200
lnstutltlons are able to pursue a
subject of their choice for the
entire month of January.
The program, often referred
to aa the 4-1-4 program, calls
for a four-month semester of
formal course work, the Independent month of January, and finally concluding with another four-
month semester.
The plausibility of such a program being Initiated at Fresno
State College, Is currently twlng
investigated by a> ad hoc committee approved last Thursday
by the Academic Development
Committee of Arts and Sciences,
neth
chairman of tbe ad hoc committee. Speech instructor George
Dlestel Is one of four teachers
to be appointed to the committee.
Also expected to serve on the
committee will be two students
to be appointed by student body
president Doug Broten.
According to Russell, the committee will lay out and Investigate the areas of difficulty such
as administrative regulations In
maintaining a specified number
of class days If such a plan were
Implemented here.
Chances good
•The program'ls so new,"said
Russell, "that lt Is difficult to
anticipate obstacles. And though
lt is a little early to speculate,'
and Sciences only. He feels the .
program has enough educational
merit that Arts and Sciences can
-act independently.
•But If the other schools and
departments on campus would
want to accept the program also,
I see no reason why they
couldn't," he said.
Russell said the committee
will Investigate the feasibility of
such a plan for the school of Arts

Opponents of the 4-1-4 program complain that the slightly
shortened regular semester lessens the amount of material that
can be covered In a course, or
else lt forces the Instructor to
compress the same amount of
material normally taught Into
less time.
But In actuality, the month of
January for Fresno State has but
one week of classes plus a week
and a half of a reading and examination  period, in effect, the
practical   use  c

Most of the schools require
students to participate In at least
one January term, and as many
require participation all four
years. Grading Is normally on a
pass-fall basis encouraging atudenta to venture outside their
major fields.
Projects unlimited
The variety of projects for
study Is Umited only by the Interests and imaginations of the
students and faculty. Some colleges offer a catalog of subjects
for the January term, especially
In cases where faculty members
search grants In specific areas.
Students may elect group programs. Individual projects, or
Interdisciplinary programs.
Some colleges encourage students to go off campus for study
at another campus or In a foreign

faculty as well. The college requires half of Its faculty to serve
as counselors for January projects while the other half Is free

To his knowledge, Russell said
none of California's state col-
legasjsr universities are participating In such a program. He
cites the reason being the educational climate In California.
■The trustees would simply not
approve such a program,* he
said.
But the committee Intends to
write to participating colleges,
delve Into all probable problems
with an optimistic view of Implementing such a program at
F.S.C.
Eight lecturers will participate in
'Environmental Pollution' course
Fresno's threatened water
supply, smog-andresulting plant
and crop damage; these are but
two topics to be tackled In an
experimental college course,

Study In environmental pollution, defined as any undesirable
change In the surroundings as a
result of natural or man-generated activities, will be offered for
the first time at F.S.C. as a three-
unit course.
Biology Instructor Edwin H.
Daubs, deeply Interested In the
subject, volunteered to coordinate  the  course.   He has re
cruited eight F.S.C. faculty to
lecture In seven selected areas
of pollution for the course.

Daubs said the original Idea for
such a course came from students. 'Environmental pollution

Daubs, *lt was Just a matter of

Expecting about 150 students to
enroll In the course, Daubs said
