Your GI Rights
By DOUGLAS LARSON
 NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington. Dec. ii.-Herc are some typical questions from lela- tiyes and friends of yetefans and Gis regarding their rights a. vet erans.
 Q. My son was on engineering student when he was taken out of college and put into the Navy. He has been overseas almost A year now. He doesn't have enough points for discharge. But now I read that they aren't drafting men who are engineering students. Does that mean that my son can get out of the Navy now and go back to school?
 A. Now that your son is in the Navy he will have Co wait until he gets the necessary points for discharge or until the point score is lowered. The Selectiye Service regulation regarding the drafting Of technical students has nothing to do with the Nayy's demobillza- ton program.
 c. I am planning tO make ap- plication for loan to buy house.
