'Foxhole U.' To High School
N.U. Helps Vets Win Sheepskins
Lincoln, Neb. (UP)—Thousands of veterans who graduated from "fox-hole universities" all over the world felt they deserved a better fate than returning to high school with teenage youngsters.
So did the University of Nebraska extension division. Cornhusker state educators are offering diplomas to ex-servicemen throughout the nation who prematurally traded books for rifles. Two plans of individualized instruction are offered.
As a result, many now are earning sheepskins without the embarrassment of sitting in classrooms with their juniors—in a number of cases, brothers and sisters.
Several high schools, such as Chicago Heights, Ill., and the Royal Oak, Mich., contract with the university to supply veterans with correspondence courses. The ex-GIs study under the secondary school's supervision, but mail completed lessons to Nebraska, where their work is judged.
More popular is the study laboratory system. Schools receive detailed correspondence course outlines from the division for use in night classes of ex-servicemen. Local instructors superve their work and the university-gardes the output when finished.
The laboratory classes give many veterans who work in the daytime a last chance to graduate from high school.
Nebraska furnishes approximately 70 per cent of the outlines used in American high schools. The university first developed the supervised correspondence study program in 1931 through a $10,000 grant from the Carnegie corporation of New York and later with $750,000 in W.P.A funds.
They Remember So You Can Forget
Chicago. (UP)—Fourteen young men about town are making a business of remembering anniversaries and birthdays for people who may forget them.
Thirteen are ex-Gls. They hand prospects a card saying, "We remember so you can forget."
They are partners in Anniversaries, Inc., which sends out suitable cards or gifts on proper dates to anyone designated by subscribers to their service.
The group, with 20,000 names in its files now, has a working arrangement with shops which ask customers to fill out cards listing names, addresses, birthdays and anniversaries of themselves and friends.
Copy must be in the University Daily Kansan Business Office, Journalism bldg, not later than 4 p.m. of the day before registration. All classifieds are cash in advance.
