A. S. U. N. semestral student fee. They have the privilege
of paying this fee and securing the benefits which accrue to
it if they so desire.
2. Any student due to pay non-resident tuition who registers for
7 or less credit hours in any one semester will be charged as
non-resident tuition $10 for each credit hour in which he

ition charged will be rebated if the student withdraws from

which the student is registering. No rebate on this special
tuition charge will be made if the student withdraws any
time after the first 3 weeks of the semester.
3. The phrase "just prior to their matriculation" in the first
paragraph under II under the heading Tuition on page 94 of

lates", etc.

submitted by the President, regarding yearly Artemisia purchases
or non-purchases was approved:
The Head of the Department of English of the University of
Nevada shall be the Regents' official adviser to the student
board in charge annually of the publication of the Artemisia
and the President of the University shall, in the Fall semes-
ter of each University year, inform the Editor and the Busi-
ness Manager of the Artemisia Board for that year that no
Artemisias will be purchased by the Board of Regents for of-
ficial distribution in that year unless and until the Head of
the Department of English has in writing given to the Presi-
dent of the University his approval of the contents of the
given Artemisia.
On condition that the Head of the Department of English shall
so approve the contents of the respective Artemisias, the
Board of Regents authorizes the President of the University
to contract with each Artemisia Board for the purchase of
not to exceed 100 copies of the book annually at a price not
