Veterans Said to Be Better Students
Young, men are better pre
pared to take advanage o
higher education after military
service than they are befor: ,
Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter, dear
of admissions an d specia
assistant •for student affairs,
told a Congressional subcom
mittee.
"It is now clear that veteran
have shown themselves to be bet
ter students than non-veterans
through their more serious appli
cations to studies, through then
earning of higher grades, through
a smaller drop-out rate, and
through better discipline and cit
izenship," 13ernreuter said.
In testifying before the Sen
ate Subcommittee on Veterans
Affairs March 25 in Washing
ton, Bernreuter said he would
give preference to those stu
dents seeking admission to the
University who have served on
active duty in the Armed For
ces. "This policy of giving pref
erence to a veteran is not based
unon sentimentality," he said.
But this policy is based upon
the results of studies contrasting
the accomplishments of veterans
with non-veterans. A University
study just completed shows that

t of reorganization, yesterday
outlined his committees tenta
tive plans to educate the students
!on all phases of the plan
The campaign is being planned
in view of the referendum to be
conducted along with the All
,Univetsity elections, April 21, 22,
'and 23. Students voting in these
elections will also vote for or
against reorganization
Seven methods are being
planned for the campaign pro
gram. Pictorial diagrams of the
new system will be displayed in
the Hetzel Union Building and
Waring Hall. The diagrams will
be simple with space allowed to
insert pictures of the candi
dates running for executive and
' legislative offices.
The committee Is also planning
a rally tentatively scheduled for,
April 20. The rally may include!
a band, a short explanation of the
plan and speeches by the candi
dates if both political parties are,
willing to cooperate.
Thalimer also said he has con
tacted several persons connected
with closed circut TV classes for
permission to give simple expla
nations of the new system during
class breaks.
Be also plans to contact the
political science department to
see if professors would be will
ing to devote some class time to
an educational discussion on
the system. This would probab
ly be done in the political sci
ence 3 and 4 classes if coopera
tion is given. Thatimer said.
Letters will be sent to the pres
idents of fraternities, sororities
and the various living units to
be read and posted.
Reorganization will be broad
cast over radio station WDFM's
Forum of the Air this coming
Tuesday. Wilbur Lewellen, sta
tion manager, will serve as mod
erator and All-University Presi
dent Jay Feldstein, Thalimer,
and a member of the committee
wilt discuss the plan.
Three open committee meetings
tentatively scheduled for April 8,
13 and 14 will be held to explain
the plan and answer any questions
that students ask regarding the
new system.
...fermis make better scholastic
,cords than do non -veterans, he
;aid.
"Another indication of the ex
ent to which veterans make bet
er use of their opportunities is
. hown in the percentage of stu
lents who quit before graduat
ng. Among last year's freshmen
mire than one-third of the non
feterans quit while less than
, ne-fourth of the veterans did not
. etuni." he said.
Still another reason for pre
ferring v e t er a ns has been
found through a study of dis
ciplinary actions the University
has had to take involving un
dergraduate students. Bernreu
ter said. Out of 1587 veterans
enrolled at the University, only
four were involved in dis
ciplinary actions. he said.
Veterans c o n sistently receive
higher ratings in desirable attri
butes than do students who have
not had military experience,
Bernreuter said. From this we

Society Will
Aid Foreign
Students
By BARBARA YLINK
Mortar Board, senior women's
hat society, will institute a pro
gram of counseling in the fall se
mester for the women students of
foreign countries enrolled in the
graduate school.
The need for such a program
was determined through inter
views with Mrs. Rebecca Doer
ner, administration assistant in
the office of International Student
Affairs, and with some of the for
eign students presently attending
the University.
These students were asked to
suggest areas in which the coun
seling is particularly needed
This information was coordinated,
with parts of the usual freshman'
orientation schedule to form the
counseling program.
The counseling will he conduct -1
ed on a friendship basis, with one
member of Mortar Board assigned
to help each women student from
a foreign country.
The program will include tours,
to acquaint the women with the
camnus and informal discussions
dealing with two of the biggest
areas of difficulty, money and
food. These talks will be designed
Ito give some idea of where var
ious items can be purchased and
an estimate of how much they
should cost. Members of Mortar
Board will take the students to
dinner in restaurants to familiar
ize them with different types of
American food and American ta
ble manners.
According to Mrs. Doerner the
University is not planning to en
roll more than five or six foreign
women students, so these students
will serve as a test group to de
termine the benefits of the pro
gram.

conclude that military service
contributes, rather than detracts
from, the ability of young men
to derive the maximum benefit ]
from higher education, he said.
Bernreuter testified on Senate
Bill 1138 which would continue
"GI Bill" benefits to veterans]
during peace as well as war time.

Cabinet Approves
Constitution Bylaws
All-University Cabinet adopted the bylaws of the Student
Government Association constitution Thursday night, thus
leaving only the final approval of the judicial system before
the entire plan goes before students in a referendum vote.
The reorganized judicial system will be introduced for the
third and final approval at the
next Cabinet meeting April 16.
Only minor changes concerning
election campaigning were made
during Thursday's second and
final reading of the bylaws
Cabinet deleted one section
which forbade "campaigning of
any nature" in a classroom
building. Members felt this
would outlaw any sort of per
sonal contact as might occur
in conversation in these build
ings.
Permanent posters inside store
windows and painted window dis
plays will be allowed in cam
paigns but no posters of any type
will be permitted on the exterior
of buildings.
Campaigning disproved by the
Elections Commission may lead to
disqualification of the candidate
from the elections, If the com
mission rules on a disqualifica
tion, the defendant may appeal
to the Student Government Asso
ciation assembly,
The approved bylaws include
establishing a Rules Commit
tee. This committee would make
all appointments to legislative
committees, prepare assembly
agendas, make special rules of
procedure in the assembly and
decide the validity of alternates,
Concerning elections for Assem
bly seats, the bylaws specify that
30 per cent of the sophomore
membership will be elected in the
spring, 60 per cent of the junior
members and 80 per cent of the
seniors.
All freshman assemblymen will
be elected in the fall, together
with 70 per cent of the sopho
mores, 40 per cent of the juniors
and 20 per cent of the seniors.
