Guide
By Moi. 1homos M. Mol

Now that it's all over, take a
backward glance at the remark
able sequence of events which hit
it's climax last Wednesday.
The climax was VAS murder OF
its own Instruction IA. The in
struction. although wiped out. has
left a small piece Of itself kicking
around. That piece can be found
in Instruction 1-B, LAS replace
ment.
Here are the events as they took
place: On September /, VAS boss
Carl R. Gray. signed regulation
which would have planted long
spikes in the educational ambi-
Sions of millions of veterans.
Administrative difficulties, as
hey were called, kept that regu-
alton from the public until Sept.
Is. But it was made effective
is Of September IL, three days
before release.
It classified as avocational or
recreational:
/. Every course of training or
education wanted by every veteran
who already had completed or
discontinued another course of
training.
2. Every course of training
wanted by every veteran in every
vocational school which had not
been established by the time the
CT Bill became law, June. 1914.
3. Every correspondence course
wanted by a veteran. either as his
first or as subsequent course.
4. All part-time courses wanted
by a veteran, either as his first OF
as subsequent training course
The one exception here was a
time course for which "aca-
demic credit is awarded toward an
educational objective" in VAS
words.
All those courses would have be-
come avocational automatically
under Ia. and. as you know, no
avocational course can be taken
unless the veteran can show the
VA (the burden of proof is on the
veteran that the course will CON
tribute to bona fide use in his
present or future business or en-
ployment."
Soon after September is. when
IA was made public, veterans
discovered its effective date, Sep
tember IL. might mean they'd be
cut out of subsistence allowance
and tuition for several weeks in
this fall semester. They started
yelling, and the clamor soon
spread to educators and Congress.
DR.. Francis j. Brown, staff as
sociate of the American Council
on Education, and other leading
educators went into frantic hud-
dies with H. v. Stirling, who runs
CT Bill education. They said they
thought the new ruling:
/ Was unfair to hundreds of
vocational schools started since
the CT Bill became law and to
thousands of veterans wanting
more education and training than
they'd had so far.
2 Disseminated against schools
of higher learning because it de-
manded "vocationalizing." Vet
Grams would have to prove the
training they wanted would help
them in their jobs.
Senator Taft and Represent
atives Wheeler, league and Pat
terson introduced bills to wipe out
the ruling. These bills outline in
specific detail exactly which
courses are avocational and have
to be justified. They would pro-
hibit VA from adding any other
courses.
BY last Tuesday the Senate La
Dor Committee had held its Sec
ond closed hearing on Taft's bill
It held another Wednesday. Tafr
