Vet's Voice The Office of Veterans Af 'airs would like to take this jpportunity to help keep veter ins informed of various items. We are hoping, in future issues, to be able to report on pending legislation, various changes in veteran-related benefits (edu cational and otherwise), and my other information which we feel may be of benefit or use to vou. As Spring Registration oc :urs, we would like to remind all veterans who have been certified for the Spring Term to contact the Veterans Affairs Office as to the number of credits they will be taking. The earlier this is done, the better the chance that there will not be a lengthy interruption be tween checks. We are not auto natically notified of your en •oillment when you check the •egistration cards that you will je applying for benefits. As the new Congress settles n for the year, we look forward ;o various legislation being in troduced on behalf of the vet erans. From information pre viously received, we would ex pect to seeibills. such as a rate increase for VA educational benefits, and a possible limited extension to the time limit, at least discussed. How they will fare in Congress we have no indication at this point. Most full-time undergrad uate veterans should now have received their renewal applica tions for PHEAA/BEOG for 1979-1980. If not, applications are available in the Veterans Affairs Office. Please remem ber that there is a May 1 deadline for filing. As in the past, if this deadline is not met, you will be in danger of not receiving an award for next year. Also, there is a separate PHEAA application for the Summer Term. When this be comes available we will let you know. If there are topics which'you would like to see discussed in future columns please contact Dave Doaty in the Veterans Affairs Office with your sug gestions. As it now stands, we hope to discuss veterans em ployment opportunities, proce dures for VA home loans, and various additional items in up issues.

Students apply by writing for and filling out a question naire which is then used as the key to the data bank.

The service is so thorough according to the director, that in the field of girls’ sports shcolarships alone there are over 2,000 entries.

Danz indicated that stu dents unable to pay the $25 fee may receive a “basic” print-out of at least 15 scholarship sour ces for $l5. The $25 fee will give students up to 50 sources of possibe aid.
