Oregon State College Ore gon veterans of world war H have three sources of educa tional aid to help them continue or begin their school or college training after their discharge, according to an analysis of fed eral and state laws made by E. B. Lemon, dean of administra tion. No individual veterans, however, may use more than one of these plans. Any veteran who has served in the active military or naval service for at least 00 days sub seqquent to September 16, 1940, and whose education or training was interrupted by entrance in to the service is eligible for year or more aid under federal law No. 346, more commonly known as the GI bill of rights, Dean Lemon reports. Further- i more, any veteran not over 25 j years of age at the time he en tered the service is automatical ly considered to have had his : education interrupted. The rate.' is up to $500 per year plus an ! allowance for living expenses. If a veteran has suffered a dls- I ability he is eligible under the veteran rehabilitation act known as public law No. 18. Those who can quealify under this act will probably find it to their advantage to do so, ex-, plains Dean Lemon, as it pro-' vides essentially the same indi vidual advantages - and oppor tunities as the GI bill of rights but the subsistence allowances are considerably larger. The recently enacted Oregon veterans educational aid bill is available to any veteran who was a resident of Oregon for one year prior to induction into the service and who served in the armed forces not less than 90 days. The law specifically states, however, that if a vet eran accepts aid under any fed eral plan he is not eligible for additional aid under the Oregon law. Dean Lemon points out that the Oregon act may offer slight financial advantage to a veteran over 29 years of age or to one with a short service record, if more than two years of college training is contem plated. The registrar's office at O.S.C. is prepared to give any veteran more detailed Information on these laws. Already 72 world war II veterans are enrolled at Oregon State, 36 under the GI bill and 36 under the rehabilta tion program.
