150 PLY FOR G0" EDUCATION
Continued Heavy Response By Indiana Veterans .
Foreseen.
Some 150 Hoosier world war un dischargees have already applied for goverriment-financed college educations as provided for by the “G. 1. bill of rights,” and a continued heavy response is expected by state education and veterans administration officials. As might be expected, Indiana and Purdue universities have received the greatest number of applications, but virtually every institution of higher learning in the state 18 on an accredited list of schools eligible to participate in the veterans program, C. J. Dexter, state veterans administration director, said. Col. Robinson Hitchcock, Indiana selective service director, says selective service here anticipates an extremely popular demand for veterans’ educational privileges in the Hoosier state, with its profusion of colleges and universities,
Threefold Objective
The colonel pointed out that the program has a threefold objective: 1. It will allow former college men to continue their interrupted education. 2. Many youths who otherwise could not have afforded college educations will be able to do so under the -government-sponsored proj-
ect, 3. Whole-hearted: participation in he Jiosram will somewhat relieve labor problem hy furnishing sve.’ tivity that will assure better jobs when more jobs are’available.
Quality to Be Maintained
The tremendous influx of discharged veterans into the state's educational accommodations will in no way affect the quality of facilities offered at the respective institutions, Col. Hitchcock asserted. Selective service and the veterans administration will ‘require colleges and universities to re-qualify each year for veterans-training eligibility. These government agencies will demand of those institutions partici pating in the program the same teaching standards established by the state department of public instruction. : Tomorrow at 10:30 a. m. representatives of state schools are to meet with veterans administration representatives in the office of Dr. Clement T. Maian, superintendent of public instruction, to discuss policies of sponsorship and enrollment. Thé state department of public instruction will appoint a representative to the state service committee and will also volunteer assistance in the comprehensive Indianapolis information center to be established here soon for the benefit of servicemen.
