PAGE FOUR THE DAILY TAR SEE SUNDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1343 1 Ed ducafibn MhojD Cleare d VAs Phi so n By James Marlow . WASHINGTON, Oct. 8 (JT) There's teen a mix-up over the GI education program. ;'At the root.of it is the belief of the Veterans Administration, which runs the program, that it's being abused. This is a brief explanation of what's happened: pniy hanaed They got this under two main conditions: If they were under 25 and could show the war had interrupted their education. In 1944 Congress passed a law letting World War II veterans go to school at government ex pense and get paid while going. Veterans not only poured into the long-established colleges but began taking various kinds of instruction like dancing, mixing drinks, learning to fly, and' even how to tell the sex of unborn chicks." - They could take these courses whether or not what they learn ed could be used &ter in making a living. In 1945 Congress changed the Group Singing Is Scheduled In Rendezvous If you're a star member of the glee club, if you belong to that untuncful organization known as the Monotone Club, or if you just like to sing, here's your chance to let loose.

' Then began a government phi losophy, that all veterans should j have; any education they wanted, based on their - military service up to four years. In 1948 the government phi losophy changed a bit. In that year Congress . tightened up the law a little. As a result: ' VA. banned unless a veteran could prove he needed it to make a living recreational courses like dancing, mixing drinks, and learn ing to fly. But: VA let the other courses stand like college or a trade, such plumbing if they'd help a . vet eran Pearn to make a living. He could take such courses and even switch or change" them as he wished. In August, 1949, the policy got a little tighter. Congress did it by banning the spending of ..gov ernment money in schools -thai had been in existence-lesstha one year. ,: ., r,.,p The VA, on its owji, tyehtened up the . program even, more Jhan many words. . WhySHtQril l ine grounds that .the program is bemg abused. VA not only continued to ban purely recreational courses but added something else. Under this last rule, unless he could show it waV really neces sary for him, a veteran no longer could resume an interrupted course, even in a regular college, or transfer to a new course or a new school, take post-graduate work, or enoll in schools estab lished since 1944. The VA . released this ruling Sept. 15. It raised such a storm of protest in Congress, among veterans and even among some educators, that this week VA wiped out the Sept. 15 order. ; Recreational courses still are banned, unless a veteran can show how one of them will help him make a living. But VA now will let a veteran, without prpv- mg anything, change courses, re sume interrupted ones, and take post-graduate work provided it's ih the same general field. For example: A veteran taking The Cosmopolitan Club , will meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock in Graham Memorial and elect members to various committees, Shanti.

Vora extended an in vitation to any" interested - to" at tend the meetings. "It is by no means limited , to foreign stu dents," he said.
