Rehabilitation Program Plans' Not Definite, Says Kiligallon By BETTY ROBERTSON “General rehabilitation of servicemen in schools of higher learning is being discussed and planned for all over the United States, but until a definite plan is decided upon, the University of Oregon can only be ready and keep abreast of developments in order to take proper measures if necessary,” said P. A. Kill gallon, executive secretary and adviser of the rehabilitation program on the campus. i : — At the present time the most promising bill in Congress to pro vide for aid to war veterans is the legion omnibus bill, which is ex pected to pass both houses before Easter. This will give help not only to veterans with disabilities, but to those who wish to continue their education as before. Each state has a board of voca tional education which takes care of veterans with a ten per cent disability or more. The federal government will give those quali fied four years’ schooling free un der the auspices of the Veterans’ Administration, and a short, thor ough vocation course to the ser viceman who has no disability and is honorably discharged.

The Army Insti tute in Wisconsin is sponsoring correspondence courses in 64 fields of study for men in all branches of the service, and they will be given proficiency certificates to prove their adeptness in these fields. “After the war, the returning student may be impatient and de mand the streamlining of many University courses,” Mr. Killgallon stated. “We may have to cut out academic requirements, make the entire program less rigid, more flexible. Many upper division courses may be moved to lower di- '' vision, so that the students wall be able to finish in a shorter period ot time. "Everything is very indefinite now. We would like to offer untold possibilities to the servicemen, but no program has been permanently set up for them. We can only sup pose.” Just remember the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. So before the Mortar Board dance bring him in for a dinner. rnrnra "Hoosier Holiday" Dale Evans George Bryan — and — "Marshall of Gunsmoke" Tex Ritter Russell Hayden
