. 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.
