Projects
Four major projects arc con
templated, Mr. Thorpe said, costs
of which would be paid entirely
by fees. They are
( 1 ) College correspondence
courses for the Canal Zone's 114
colored alien (Panamanian) school
teachers who instruct 3.800 col
ored elementary and high school
pupils. At present none have col
lege degrees. Principal courses
sought are education, English,
mathematics, political science and
history. Two thirds of the col
ored teachers expressed an in
terest in completing the require
ments for a degree from the uni
versity. (2) "Olf campus" college-level
classroom courses for colored
teachers which would be taught
in the Canal Zone by colored
teachers approved by the Univer
sity of Nebraska, and which would
follow a course of instruction pre
pared by the university. (The
university last year conducted 60
t similar off campus courses for Ne
braska school teachers in various
parts of the state.)
To Supplement.
(3) High school correspondence
courses to supplement the offer
ings in high schools for colored
pupils which, at present, are oc
cupational schools stressing the
ment of state from 1943 to 1945,

manual arts such as welding, car
pentry and shop work.
(4) College correspondence
courses which would provide up
to a third year of instruction for
many of the 200 white students
who attend the Canal Zone's jun
ior college and which would en
able them to attend universities
and colleges in the United States
and obtain an A. B. degree in
about a year.
The Canal Zone request, Mr.
Thorpe said, was the largest sin-
jgle request for Nebraska corres
pondence courses irom any coun
try outside the continental United
States. At present courses are
being sent to students in Japan,
Alaska, Hawaii, Germany, Argen
tina, Ecuador and Peru. In addi
