P. Colbert chairman of the Consultation Board for Veterans, has announced that those veterans under public law 346, the G.I. Bill, who plan to attend summer school may receive full subsis tence provided they carry a sche dule of seven semester hours or more for the nine weeks session, or five hours or more for the six weeks session. Anyone carrying a schedule of less than the minimum number of hours will have his subsistence reduced in an amount to be determined by the Veter ans Administration. At the close of either the six weeks or nine weeks session, a veteran may continue to receive subsistence for a vacation or leave period of not more than 30 days for the calendar year. However, anyone who draws subsistence for the 30-day leave period will also be using up an equal period of his time-entitlement. Consequently, the veterans partcularly one with a limited time-entitlement should waive their rights to draw sub sistence during their 30-day pe riod. By so doing they will save their time-entitlement so that it will apply on time actually spent in school. Rehabilitation Act. The veterans under public law 16, the Vocation Rehabilitation act, may also attend summer school provided they carry a full schedule of seven semester hours or more for the nine weeks ses sion. Such students will receive their full subsistence throughout the balance of the calendar year. (See VETERAN, page 3.)

Schooner Uses Midwest Talent In Next Issue "Prairie Schooner," university literary magazine, is living up to its name ot "Talent Scout of the Midwest" by printing in its sum mer issue articles written by two authors who, at the present time, are having books published.

Dutton's forthcoming "I Ask You, Ladies and Gentlemen," by Leon Surmelian, with an intro duction by William Saroyan. and Simon Schuster's "The Happy Life," by Robert Fontaine. Surmelian's stories describe the youth of an Armenian boy who "mended in America the wrecked legend of his life," and the other is the story of a happy childhood in French Canada by a Canadian born author, Robert Fontaine. Schooner Printed. "Prairie Schooner" printed, in winter 1939, the first story by the unknown writer, Surlemian, "I Ask You Ladies and Gentle men," from which the title of the book is taken. Another Surmelian story appeared in summer 1940, "Without Bitterness or Regret." Spring 1943 contained, "Intro duction to Mortality" and sum mer, 1944, "The Great Hoax," all of which appear in the forthcom ing book. Robert Fontaine, too, was first printed in the panes of the "Prairie Schooner." "Many Col ored Glass" and "Grandfather and the Widow Lachance" have ap peared in the summer and winter 1944 issues and are continued in "The Happy Time,"" scheduled to appear on the June 11 book market.
