With the postman acting as intermediary between teacher and student, 6,500 students have taken advantage of the University correspondence courses in the "world-wide classroom."
ACCORDING TO HOYLE, these bridge players are engrossed in the first half of the annual KU bridge tournament. All contestants are asked to register at 6:45 p.m. today for the second session which begins at 7 p.m. tonight in room 306 in the Union.
6,500 KU Students Study Through Mail
S spurred on by the fact that the average grade on two and three hour courses is a B plus, many students take a required subject by correspondence, one at a time, in order to finish quickly and apply the credit toward their degree.
Ruth Kenney, director of the Bureau of Correspondence Study, drew several conclusions about college-level students in her worldwide classroom. She said that eager students who complete courses in two months or less make no higher grades than those who finish within two to six months or more. She emphasized that students enrolling in correspondence courses are usually of the superior group of students, as the person who is not highly motivated seldom completes the course.
In addition to college credit work, the University correspondence courses are offered for high school credit and "continuation study" or self-improvement work.
The fees for college courses for residents are $6 per hour and for nonresidents $9 per hour. For high school courses the fee for residents is $10 per half unit and for nonresidents $15 per half unit.
The student is responsible for securing all texts and materials which can be ordered by the student from Rowland's book store or from the publisher. Students are also urged to use their local city or school library for reference books.
Each lesson is graded by a member of the instructional staff and returned to the student with corrections, comments, and criticism. It is assumed that a five hour course, or 40 lessons, may be completed in 40 weeks with a minimum study time of one hour per day for six days each week. The maximum amount of work which may be done in any week is eight assignments for one hour of credit.
10 All credit courses require final examinations and the student must pass the examination to receive credit in the course.

Denver Kappa Sigs Brand Girl's Panties
Denver—(U.P.)—Members of the Kappa Sigma fraternity at Denver university said today they were "terribly sorry" they stood a sorority girl on her head and stenciled their fraternity emblem on her panties.
"It was all in the nature of good' fun," one Kappa Sigma member said. He described the incident as "spontaneous" and said there wasn't any real rough stuff.
The coed with Kappa Sigma's Crescent and Star emblazoned on her panties wasn't identified. But Kappa Sigma members agreed to pay for her damaged clothing.
Allwyn (Skid) Pirtle, second vice president of the fraternity and captain of the University's golf team, said the panty incident occurred because someone had stolen Kappa Sigma's symbol and a memorial plague.
He said the missing symbol was becoming a campus joke and "it was important to us to get it back."
Fraternity members heard that Alpha Chi Omega sorority members knew something about the missing items. They lured 10 girls from the sorority house to the Kappa Sigma fraternity house with serenades and ordered the mto stand trial before a kangaroo court.
The girls, according to Pirde, were 'convicted' and sentenced to have he stolen symbol painted on their oreheads.
Cashweens are believed to have originated in the West Indies.
"It was all in the nature of good 'un,' he said, "and the girls weren't complaining when the Kangarooourt found them guilty."
