The air-conditioned library of 56,000 volumes is one of the finest in the state . Through their various courses students will have access to the fully equipped laboratories, shops, and studios.
RECREATION AND ENTERTAINMENT

music, dramatics, and social dancing, Concerts, lectures, movies, recitals, and convocation programs provide enjoyable occasions for suDJ11er students.
Sports--Classes are conducted in swi11111ing and tennis for those who desire instruction in these sports. The college pool is open regularly for recreational swim periods.

THE SUMMER TERM
Courses--The suDJ11er sessi ~ courses are essentially the same as those given in the regular academic year. Many courses are repeated each SUlllller while others for which the demand is small, are alternated and made available every second or third summer. Students planning to enter other professions or who are interested in terminal education, will find the offerings at Peru State suited to their needs. See complete Schedule of Classes in this bulletin. Advantages--Students may continue their college work during the summer in order to shor .ten the time necessary to complete the requirements for a de·gree. High school graduates may start their college work in the summer just as well as in the fall. Teachers may earn sufficient credit to renew their certificates or raise them to a higher level. Returning veterans may begin or continue their college study dur_i ng the su11111er .
Credit--Students may enrol) in 9 hours in regular session and '• in 3 hours in post session t o make possible 12 hours by attending both sessions,

it is imperative that students plan for punctual attendance in all classes.
ADMISSICN
Students who have not previously matriculated at Peru State and now wish to begin their first college work or to continue study on the basis of transfer college work, should write to the Registrar well in advance of the registration day for information . If admission means -likely advancement to and completion of a degree at Peru State, it is very important to clear early on requirements for admission
Full Adaission--High school graduates receive full admission to freshman standing with a minimum of 160 hour s (school semester hours) (16 units) from a four-year high school and the recommendation of the high school princifal or superintendent. Although no specific distribution of entrance units is necessary, it is recom~~nded that at least half of the units earned represent work in English, foreign language, mathematics, natural science, and social studies.
Conditional Ad.ission Students who have completed 150 hours ~chool semester hours) (15 units) or the equivalent for high school graduation, are admitted to freshman standing on condition that their work proves satisfactory during the first year in college. Appropriate college course ·s may be recommended in fields where the student is deficient upon admission. Mature individuals who are not high school graduates but who are otherwise prepared and recommended for college work, may be admitted as special students. A college aptitude test and the GED (General Education Development) tests are administered in judging the individual's qualifications for admission.
Advanced Standing--Applicants for admission from another college must also have such college send to the Registrar an official transcript as evidence of dismissal in good standing. Students seeking admission at Peru State while under probation or being dismissed on account of unsatisfactory scholarship or other reason at the last college will, if accepted, be placed on probation in line with the policies at Peru State. It is recommended that all transfer students complete an Application for Admission to give personal information as well as to indicate the student's educational objective.
CERTIFICATES
All certificates and renewals of certificates in Nebraska are issued by the State Conmissioner of Education upon the recoDDDendation of the college. All credits for pre-professional certificate renewals must apply toward fulfilling the requirements of the next higher certificate or a degree. All professional and permanent certificates may be renewed . by earning eight semester hours of approved study.
It is imperative that teachers seeking renewal of a certificate or a higher certificate have a program of studies approved for this purpose. This is done by the teacher and an adviser appointed by the college. The responsibility for this rests with the teacher desiring the certificate.
ADMISSION TO TEACHER EDUCATION CURRICULUM

Summer students who expect to be recommended for a certificate and have not been admitted to the Teacher Education Curriculum, should apply by the end of the first week of the sunmer session. Application forms may be obtained through the Director of Student Teaching.
RECOMMENDATION FOR CERTIFICATION

This responsibility has been delegated to the Policies Coumittee and means that this Committee must pass on the applicant's academic and professional qualifications, his character and competence as a teacher. All applicants are hereby advised that by meeting graduation scholastic requirements does not mean that one will be automatically recommended for certification.
In order to facilitate the action of the above Committee, it is necessary that all ~pplications for certification be presented not less than three week~ ?riqr to the end of any term.
