which is even more important dur
ing the summer session than during
the long asaaion, will enroll more

ginning at 7:80.
this hscrsnssd attendance is a rqle
recently passed by the faculty
which vitally affects graduate stu
dents. The rule states that all
credits obtained more than six
yuan previous to wosrk toward a
graduate degree may not ho ap
plied to tho degree after Septem-
ber 1. 1989. For this reason K is.
expected that many persons will
do graduate work during the pres
ent summer session in order to got
under the deadline provided in the
faculty ruling.
Among tbe other important na
ns for tho increased summer
school attendance of graduate stu
dents is the fact that many teach-
ty agents take this
opportunity to do work toward
their graduate degree during their
summer vacation.
Despite the fact that A A M.
does not confer degrees on woman,
several women an also enrolled In
the summer graduate school. Most
of them, however, intend to use tho
credits obtained at A. A M. at some
other coBege which does coni
degrees on women.
