Post War Plans Made
At University
At the University of Georgia,
last week, plans were begun for
the post-war education of Serv
icemen. This plan when complet
ed will give each serviceman
with a high school education a
four-year scholarship to train
himself to his abilities. This plan
will not only benefit the ex
servicemen but it will help the
colleges and the universities of
the country also.
Mr. Gunn and Mr. Giles repre
sented West Georgia at this con
ference. The different education
al leaders discussed the points
that would be important in this
program. Two of the main points
discussed were whether the man
should have his choice of the
school which he wishes to attend
and how much time should
elapse between his discharge
date and the date he takes up
his studies.
This program is being formed
to include the men already must
ered out of the service.
