Although there are no requirements for admission, S-U-N announced that it has decided to limit enrollment this fall to 200 in each course. Then, building on the experience of the initial offering, S-U-N will continue expanded operations next year with repeats of the first two courses and initial offerings of other multimedia learning opportunities. University President D.B. Varner, who first proposed the S-U-N idea over three years ago, said at a news conference that S-U-N holds the promise to extend lifetime learning to thousands of Nebraskans who 111 C7 4 kmm fc.l it - 1 : . .! t It 'i ; ; j til Business Administration. have been advantage unable to take of on-campus programs. "There is no reason," said Varner, "That College-level opportunities should be limited to the young and mobile citizens of Nebraska." Varner had emphasized a similar theme when, in 1971, he proposed use of the state's nine-station educational tele vision network to make college level study accessible to a far larger proportion of the popula tion of the state. Since then, said S-U-N Executive Director Jack McBride, S-U-N has, with the aid of grants totaling more than $2 million, gained attention as a potential regional and national model for college-at-home study, utilizing television and a variety of other modern com munications media and tradi tional instructional materials. The concept, also known as "openlearning" and "non-traditional education," has been a major theme of a number of recent national reports on the future of postsecondary educa tion, McBride noted. Milton J. Hassel, S-U-N director of development, an nounced that registration will open August 15 for the pilot offering of the first two S-U-N courses. Registration for Accounting 1 will close on September 15. The course begins September 29. Registration for Intro ductory Psychology will close October 15. The course begins November 3.
