"After two weeks tsnder a
broiling Florida sun, your Daily
Nebraska foreign correspondents
ere happy to report that the S3
Husker NROTC midshipmen are
still in peak condition.
"Some 900 college men began
their six week tour of summer
duty at the Pensacola Naval Air
Station June 24. This group, rep

N U Commanders
"Entering the third week we
find many Nebraskans in the
command posts. Allen Michelet is
a company commander. He
cracks the whip over men from
three schools: Notre Dame, Duke,
and Nebraska. Under Michelet,
we find Dick Lander leading the
first platoon. The "Rat, as he is
affectionately called by his ship
mates, claims that it was his ex
perience as vice-president of
Delta Tau Delta which prepared
him for this post. But informed
sourtes have told your reporters
that it was plot conceived ty
irate former platoon leaders who
grew weary of his biting tongue
from within the ranks.
"Five N. U. men. Dale John-

Herb "Deacon Oisen, and Bill
Keeney are serving two weeks
as squad leaders. When the mid

his squad aboard. Three hours
later he was bravely carried off
by his underlings, being the only
one of the ten to succumb to air
sickness. Later, shaken and
green, Rex said, "Go ahead. Have
your steak. I'll wait for break
fast." Highlights in Sidelights
"The trip down held some inter
esting moments, especially stops in
Kansas City and New Orleans. At
K.C. Win Wyman joined the group
of nine which embarked from

Win raced into the station, kissed
his seabag goodbye and struggled
to throw his mother on the train.
Two cars down Bill Keeney was
pushed aboard by Delt brother
Howard Pearson, shouting "I shall
return!"
"In New Orleans, the troops
took a two day layover. Having
heard of the picturesque beauty
of the French quarter, they de
cided to try and pick up a few.
This ventvre proved unsuccessful.
but the crew found that Mardi
Gras time isn't the only open sea

Relaxation
"Here in Pensacola. we have
been spending many pleasant eve
nings at the Acrac Club, the base's
version of the D.B. and G. This
club has been the scene of several
Navy-sponsored dances. In refer
ence to the ratio at the occassions.
your authors can only say, "We'll
take Nebraska any day at 3 to 1."
The Don Juan of the Husker unit
so far is John Dean, who, reports
say, is doing well in downtown
Pensacola.
"Athletically speaking, the Ne
braska Unit has upheld tradition,

To make the short term season
complete, the Huskers saw pitch
ers Michelet, Mosher, Sothan, and
Ewing shelled from the mound in
a 15 to 8 loss to the Duke Unit.
"Last week Don Wahl thrilled
200 onlookers during a heliocopter
demonstration. He was picked off
the ground by the 'Copter, which
was speeding through the air at
two miles per hour at an altitude
of nearly 30 feet. Later, on the
shoulders of his admirers, Don
stated, 'E siest pickup I ever got."
"And tow, as the 10 o'clock cur
few draws near, your writers
close with this word, "If you think
summer school is bad, join the
NROTC and put in eight hours a
day in a Florida classroom.''
Ag Staff Member Says U.S.
Won't Retreat From Korea
The United States will not have
to retreat from Korea in the opin
ion of Walter E. Hammond, Ag
College chemurgy staff member.
Hammond, who spent almost
four years with the American mil
itary government in Korea, dis
agrees with a statement made the
first of the week by Rep. James
E. Van Zandt that the U.S. troops
would evacuate Korea by last
Tuesday.
No Retreat Line
It is Hammond's belief that the
U.S. line of "no retreat" will be
established on "the high ridge be
tween the Kum and Nakotong
rivers. The Nakotong river is to
the south of the Kum and east
of the rail center of Taegu, which
connects the American supply port
of Pusan.
In addition to doing agricul
tural advisory work in Korea be
tween 1945 and 1949, Hammond
served as American representative
in Korea on the U.S. delegation
on reparations and restitution.
Discussing the American posi
tion in Korea, Hammond recalled
that while he was in Korea, it
used to be said that the commu
nists should reach Pusan 24 hours
after they had invaded south Ko
rea. As a comparison of what the
reds might have been able to do,
Hammond cited a jeep drive he
made in the rainy season from
Seoul to Pusan in two and one
half days.
The reds have been at the in
vasion for oyer three weeks now
and have just reached half-way
to Pusan. Hammond says that the
current rainy season will continue
for another three weeks.

VA Tells Gianges in G.I. Bill:
Easier to Change Study Field
Minimum standards for profit
schools training veterans under
the G.I. Bill, and more liberal pro
cedures for most veterans chang
ing fields of G.I. Bill study are
authorized by a law signed July
13 by the President, the Veterans
Administration said today.
Ashley Westmoreland, Lincoln
regional office manager, said that
although the new law also amends
the GI Bill education and train
ing provisions in nearly a dozen
other ways, none of the changes
affect the July 25, 1951, cut-off
date for starting G.I. Bill train
ing, or the VA regulation which
states that veterans actually must
be in training by the 1951 date if
they want to continue afterwards.
New Standard
In explaining the new law, the
VA official said the measure pro
vides for new profit school stan
dards, to be enforced at the state
level with federal funds, consisting
of seven yardsticks of good in
struction. Among them are the fol
lowing: ( I ) the school course must
be consistent in quality, content
and length with similar courses
given by public schools or other
private schools with "recognized
and accepted' standards; (2) The
school must have enough space,
equipment, instructional material
and instructor personnel for good
training; (3) Instructors must
have adequate qualifications both
in terms of education and teach
ing experience; 4) The school
must give a veteran credit for
previous training or experience
and shorten his course according
ly. Other Standards
The law includes other stand
ards as well as the provision that
a state can set up still others if it
sees 15
Profit schools affected by th e
standards are those in which stu
dents paying their own way num
ber fewer than 25 or one-fourth
of the total enrollment, whichever
is larger.
According to another provision
of the new measure a veteran who
has completed or discontinued a
G.L Bill course and now wants
another in either the, same or any
other general fielJ is 'permitted to
take the new course simply by ap
plying for it if he is otherwise
eligible and has never before
changed from one general field to
another.
In the past VA reqttred all vet
erans changing to different gener
al fields to show justification of
need for the change. If the justifi
cation was cot adequate, they
could request advisement and
guidance so that VA could make
a final determination.
The new measure nxwe or lest
Keeps current v a procedures in
e'.cct for veterans who have al
ready changed from one major
field to another and now wish to
change again. They may be re
quired to undergo advisement and
guidance, the law states, before a
decision is made whether to ap
prove or disapprove the change.
But if VA does not notify them
of its decision within 45 days
after the application, the new
course automatically is approved.
The law makes no change in the
VA regulation issued on Apnl 1
1950, having to do with the July
25, 195 1, cut-off date for beginning
G.I. Bill training. In addition to
requiring a veteran actually to be
in training by the 1951 date, the
regulation also states that a vet
eran who completes or discontin
ues his program of training after
that time may not start another
course.
Among the many other provi
sions of the new law are the fol
lowing:
(1) The volume of subsistence
allowance overpayments should be
reduced sharply by the new ma
chinery for recovering the over
payments from schools. The ma
chinery would go in effect if it
was proved that overpayments re
sulted from a school's "willful or
negligent failure' to report veter
an drop-outs or excessive and un
authorized absences.
(2) A trade or technical course,
consisting primarily of shop prac
tice will be considered a full time
course so long as the present min
imum of 25 hours a week instruc
tion are offered. But after July 1,
1951, the minimum full time train
ing in such courses will be raised
to 30 hours a week. Other below
college clockhour courses consist
ing mainly of theoretical or class
room instruction may continue in
definitely on the 25-bour-a-week
minimum basis.
(3) Current VA restrictions on
a vocational and recreational train
ing formerly authorized by ap
propriations acts which ran for
one year each have been given
permanency by being adopted by
the new measure with some modi
fication. (4) Procedures for applying for
G.I. Bill flight training set up in
last year's appropriations act also
have been incorporated in the new
law. Under the procedures a vet
eran applies by submitting an affi
davit supported by corroborating
affidavits by two competent dis
interested persons stating that the
training would be useful to him in
connection with earning a living.
The other provisions of the new
measure mainly affect VA rela
tionships with the school clfering
GX Bill training.
