"A INSTITUTIONS QUALIFIED BY VA
 UNDER q BAII
Veterans Must Specify Course, School Under
 New Procedure


 In accordance with conditions of the new proviso for education under the G. I. Bill, E. E. Lincoln, Re- gional Director of the Veterans Administration, announces list of schools which meet the require ments. The announcement was de- layed, pending receipts of an inter pretation from Washington on qualifications, as the measure would apply to the special conditions in Alaska.
 To be eligible, an institution must have been in continuous oper- ation for a year prior to August 24, or have had an enrolment of 25 students for 12 months to date Each subsidiary, branch or exten- sion of a school must meet the re- quirements as a separate institu- ton.
 For the purpose of this instruc- tion, any school which discontinued student training and now desires to resume it, will be considered as a new institution, and must qualify under the same requirements.
 Flight Training Popular
 Most requests. according to the V. A. office, are either for courses at the University of Alaska, which, naturally, meets the requirements for eligibility, or for flight train ing.
 This presents a real problem, due to the large number of small fly- ing schools. In the view of the V. A., many of these provide ex- cellent training although they are not always able to meet the re- quirements of minimum enrolment or length of operation.
 Requests for certain exceptions in the matter of schools which have been carefully investigated have heen made by Gov. Ernest Gruen- ing to Carl R. Gray, Jr, V. A. Ad- ministrator in Washington, D. c.
