392 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 23 register in University courses for which they are eligible for admission without payment of the tuition fee and the laboratory, library, and supply fee, provided their annual salary is $2,400 or less." I recommend that this become effective immediately so that it will apply to the 1947 Summer Session. This is desirable because the supplementary salary adjustments made effective as of September 1, 1946, affect the status of regular University employees who are now registered in the Summer Session. On motion of Mr. Williamson, the regulations were amended as recommended. REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION IN THE S C H O O L OF JOURNALISM (3) The University Senate recommends that Section (2) of the requirements for graduation from the School of Journalism be amended to read as follows: " ( 2 ) complete 64 semester hours of work in a curriculum in the School of Journalism including not less than 30 nor more than 40 hours of credit in professional courses of junior-senior level, and the balance in social studies, arts, sciences, and other subjects approved by the faculty." I concur. On motion of Mr. Fornof, this recommendation was adopted. ADMISSION TO THE COLLEGE OF LAW (4) Limitations of classroom and laboratory facilities make it necessary to limit the enrollment in the College of Law according to the following plan: 1. Applicants must file requests for admission on forms furnished by the College not less than sixty days before the opening of the term to which admission is sought. 2. In selecting the persons to be admitted, preference will be given to applicants demonstrating the greatest ability, to veterans, and to residents of the State of Illinois. Nonresident applicants to be considered must present outstanding scholastic records. The University Senate recommends that the Board of Trustees adopt the following requirements for admission to the College of Law. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Applicants to be eligible to apply for admission must have achieved a grade average of 3.5 in all college work taken and must meet the following quantitative requirements: 1. For admission to the four-year curriculum: The completion in residence of one-half the number of hours required for a bachelor's degree at the University of Illinois or one-half the number of hours required for a bachelor's degree in a college approved by the University. 2. For admission to the three-year curriculum: Graduation from, or senior standing in, a college of the University of Illinois or a college approved by the University. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS APPLYING TO VETERANS A veteran is defined, for purposes of admission, as one who has had active service since September 16, 1940, in the Armed Forces of the United States or one of its co-belligerents, and has been released or discharged therefrom under conditions other than dishonorable. 1. In meeting the general requirements stated above, a veteran who applies for admission ( a ) may count credit acceptable to the University of Illinois, based on an evaluation of educational experience, general educational development, and correspondence work taken while in the Armed Forces, provided that the applicant for admission has completed one academic year of work in residence in the University of Illinois or in a college approved by the University; (b) will be permitted to disregard the grades in work passed before entering the service, provided that he has completed at least one academic year of college work after release from service with a grade average of at least 4.0.
