Fast Education
Addressing the representatives
of 48 member chapters of the
Middle Atlantic Regional Amer
ican Veterans Committee, Dean
Ben Euweina of the. School of
Liberal Arts, cautioned all stu
dents not to "short change" them
selves educationally, last. Sunday.
The student veteran, he said, is
attempting to rush through col._
lege too fast. More stress should
be given to. courses which will
stimulate thought, he added.

specialized skills. It was his bes
lief, however, that a 'practical
education was not irreconcilable
with a liberal education. In this
Dean Euwema concurred.
The chief problems dealt with
at the conference were veterans'
subsistences, housing, and the
post-war educational scene.
In connection with veterans'
subsistences, a resolution was
made calling upon Congress to en
act HR 870, introducedby Edith N.
Rogers, Mass., and providing for
an increase in subsistence., This
bill is now in com L
mittee. etterS
