GI Bill Extension Will Allow Korean Vets to Enter University Free

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Korean war veterans may soon begin to pour into the University at the expense of the government. One disabled Korea veteran has already registered in the freshman class this term, under a new extension of the World War II G.I Bill of Rights.

At present provision for government aid to Korean veterans is limited to those who are disabled. But a new bill has just been introduced into Congress proposing government financed tuition supplies and in many cases, a subsistence allowance for all personnel of the armed forces who have served anywhere in the world since the outbreak of the Korean campaign.

Eight veterans of World War II have returned to the University this term after a leave of absence in the service. Still under aid from the government, 1,421 veterans registered this fall, and 900 last week. There are almost 3,000 veterans in the University this year.
