The Veterans’ Administration
received a little more than the,
usual amount of publicity during
the past week due to the various
meetings held on the Oregon
campus.
The VA office would like to
express its gratitude to those
veterans who rose to the defense
of the administration. We would
like to extend our hand to those'
veterans who believe they have
been wronged, in the hopes that
their problems may be solved.
As explained in the Emerald
last week, this office is here in
Eugene for service and all the
veteran has to do is ask. If there
is any manner in which we can
help to patch up past differences
or help with future problems, we 1
will be more than happy to do so. :
It is impossible to reach all
veterans through the medium of
this small column, so if any of,
your veteran friends ever have
any questions and don’t know
where to turn, have them come
in and see us. If you or they
can’t come in, then call us.
Veteran Administration hours
are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday
through Friday. The telephone
number of the office is 5-3444.
