"The true University of these days is a collection
of Books. "
Thomas Carlyle
A collection of books and the time this summer to
read them can earn university credit for students
enrolled in summer reading courses through the UNL
Extension Division.
These courses allow a student to earn up to six
hours of credit during the summer.
Registration for summer reading courses staris
April 14 at Nebraska Hall 511 and continues through
June 11.
According to Edor Ellingson, coordinator of
evening classes for the Extension Division, course
offerings totaled 39 Tuesday, but he said he expects a
few more before the final schedule is printed.
The decision of which courses to offer is made by
the individual instructors, Ellingson said. Reading
course forms are sent to all university instructors, and
those wishing to teach a course decide which classes
they will offer.
Courses are being offered this summer in art,
architecture, classics, economics, English, food and
nutrition, forestry, history, journalism,
r reading courses offer students credit

Ellingson said a student wishing to enroll in a
summer reading course must attend meetings for that
class in the spring. -
At the meeting, the instructor will give the student
a syllabus and a list of requirements for the class,
Ellingson said.
Requirements for completion of the course can
range from essay and short answer tests to papers and
conferences, he said. Courses are scheduled to be
completed by September.
The schedule of spring meetings should be ready
by next week, Ellingson said, and will be distributed
in all residence halls, fraternities and sororities, and
posted in all university buildings. A limited number
of copies will also be available in Nebraska Hall 511.
Ellingson encourages students to register early,
since class size is often limited to 15 or 25 students.
Students must have the signature of their adviser
or college dean in order to register-
Tuition, which is $18 per credit hour for Nebraska
tridents and $4.25 per creaii nour ior

registration.
Summer reading courses began in 1967, when
Robert Hough, professor of English, offered a summer
reading course to his students through regular
university registration, Ellingson said.
The Extension Division took over the program in
1968, when they offered two courses and enrolled 42
students. The program reached its peak in 1971 when
866 students registered for 49 courses.
According to Ellingson, enrollment has dropped
since 1971, and in 1974 they offered 33 courses and
had 661 students.
The reason for the drop, he said, was a change in
tuition. When the program started, both residents and
nonresidents were charged $20 per credit hour, and.
nonresidents took advantage of the courses as an
inexpensive way to earn credit.
When the tuition for nonresidents changed ' to
$48.25 per credit hour, the enrollment figures
dropped.
Judging from last year's figures, Ellingson
estimates an enrollment this summer of 650-700
students.

Perhaps one of the more subtle aspects of a
recession is the number of marriage licenses
issued. Associated Press reports from North
Carolina indicate that marriages have declined 50
per cent in an area where unemployment is near
10 per cent.
One theory suggests that with widespread
layoffs and high prices, young people are less
likely to start a family.
Lancaster County has experienced a decline in
the number of marriage licenses issued, according
to county court records. In November through
January, 406 licenses were issued, compared to
471 the year before. That is a decrease of almost
14 per cent.
Even with the drop in marriage licenses, the
number of church weddings has not declined.
Several pastors said they are performing about
the same number of marriage ceremonies as a
year ago. One said that he did not have as many
scheduled for June and July as usual, but that
could change.
Most church officials contacted said they do
not charge a fee for a marriage.
Pastor Charles Reimnitz of Christ Luthern
Church said that he performed a ceremony in a
home where the cost was around 50 dollars.
"There are ways of getting around costs," he
said. "But more young men are making sure
they've got a job."
One minister's wife noted that simpler
weddings are becoming fashionable. "Not
because of the recession, but because kids are
more practical these days," she said.
