University Extension Covers Myriad of Projects
The visitors wear suits and name tags, gather together and talk among themselves, and make the coffee line longer in the Kansas Union. They aren't simply visiting, though, for these people are participants in one of many conventions to be held on campus this year.
Such conventions, along with conferences, seminars and various association meetings—138 in all this year, are made possible through the work of University Extension. Over 22,000 attend these conferences.
EXTENSION MEANS an expansion of the University's resources to persons and organizations in the state and area to whom they are not readily available.
"We coordinate a program of teaching and service, extended for students not regularly enrolled on campus." Howard
Walker, director of University Extension, said.
THERE ARE FOUR divisions or bureaus of University Extension. They include regular extension classes, correspondence school, the extension library and the Bureau of Visual Instruction. Classes are composed of students and instructors in Law-
The correspondence school is instruction through written communication. The courses are designed in syllabus form by professors and are intended to present the "meat" of the course to the student without having a class meeting.
A LIBRARY is maintained by the department for residents of Kansas who either aren't near a library or who require information which is not readily available.
The Bureau of Visual Instruction in Bailey Hall is also part
of the services of University Extension. The bureau's library and equipment supply the regular campus program with educational films by request and make the same films available to persons or organizations throughout the state on a rental basis.
Some of the campus activities of University Extension are driver's education, pharmacology, art judicial reform, and a conference on asphalt paving. Both the Kansas Boys' State and Girls' State summer conventions are conducted under University Extension.
A CHILDREN'S reading program is sponsored by the department for students in the fourth through ninth grades. The children read and report on 12 books, three from each of four categories, from lists written by national library associations.
A statewide theater extension is also sponsored in cooperation
with the School of Fine Arts.
Towns and organizations presenti-
ning dramatic productions may
enlist the services of a graduate
drama student who will direct
the play, aid in casting, sets and
design, music and advertising in
return for room and board.
The department also conducts 16 classes at the Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth each week.
KU's staff numbers 65. The department is one of 117 members of the National University Extension Association and the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, Council on Extension.
