Gen.
L. L. Lemnitzer
notebook
More than 400 Fort Hood per
sonnel were college students at
the same time that they carried
out their military duties during
the last quarter ending June 30.
The reason lies in the college
correspondence course program
offered by the United States
Armed Forces Institute (USAFI).
Set up through contracts be
tween the Government and 44
participating colleges this pro
gram enables military personnel
to obtain credit for both high
school and college level courses
in both academic and technical
areas.
And the cost is slashed
to a fraction of that paid by
civilian students because the
government pays the cost of
lesson service if the enroll
ment is through USAFI ac
cording to established regula
tions.
The student pays only the cost
of course materials and adminis
trative charges.
Available courses range from
Accounting and Agriculture to
Transportation and Zoology.
Participating institutions— all
of them fully accredited—go down
the alphabet from the University
of Alabama to the University of
Wyoming.
Counselors at the Army Edu
cation Center (Building 212) are
available to advise in selection
of proper courses and to assist
in completing the necessary paper
work prerequisite to the courses
Enrollment is limited to one
course unless the student has
previously satisfactorily com
pleted a course with or
through USAFI in which case
he may enroll in a maxi
mum of two courses.
Applications with the exact en
rollment fee are forwarded to
USAFI at Madison Wise. where
they are reviewed for military
eligibilty and immediately sent
to the appropriate college which
accepts or rejects on the basis of
criteria established by the college
Colleges allow 24 months for
the completion of a course pro
vided that no 12-month period
elapse between lesson reports.
Men enrolled in a correspon
dence course at the time of
separation from active duty may
continue the course for one year
if other standards are met.
Credit toward specific degrees
can usually be obtained through
correspondence work although the
number of hours which can be
validated under any degree plan
depends on the institution.
Again education counselors at
the AEC can adivse on all rec
ommended procedure.
