All work for college credit is to be given by regular faculty members through the extension division, and no courses are given for credit in correspondence r which are not given in residence at the university. Courses offered by correspond ence are open to all qualified stu dents, and a student in attendance at any educational institution is disqualified as a correspondence ~ student, unless he has the ap- t proval of the proper official of s that institution. Students who enroll for courses during summer vacation must c complete the courses at least ten i dlays prior to the first date of fall i registration, he declared. t "Students who take correspond- a ence courses and meet all require- h ments are given the same amount :f credit as they would receive for a similar courses conducted in resi- s dence," Ward said. Such credit s will be accepted by the Univer- s ;ity at par to the extent of one- u fourth of the number of hours re- s ,uired for a degree. r No credits received through r !orrespondence count toward the a Master's degree.

On the same lay last year, Mr. Lewis points >ut, .only 268 members were en -olled. "The goal we -have set is to tave 2000 members enrolled by / rune 30, 1948," Lewis said. "This vould surpass the record 1944 15 enrollment of 1682." He sees a rood probability of reaching that t ;umber. o "It's surprising," Lewis said, t 'that we should be working so 1l iard to get 2000 alumni into the p tssociation when there are in our 'iles the names and addresses of n nore than 12,000 former students t Lt the university." He explained that many more ( clumni took advantage of the ervices offered by the association han the paying members. The as ociation maintains files on every U tude'nt at the university, and pro- L ,ides a contact office for all of r hem whether they belong actively o the association or not.. The basic fee for members of the Alumni Association is $3 year. This entitles the member o participate in all the activities >f the association and pays their subscriptions to the bi-monthly Alumni News magazine.
