Petition Backs Kansas Bill To Aid Vietnam Veterans
Campus Veterans has begun a last-minute petition drive in support of a Vietnam veterans' aid bill. The bill is in the Education Committee of the Kansas house of Representatives and will die Monday if no action is taken.
Joe LeVota, president of Campus Veterans, said yesterday that he hadn't known about the bill until yesterday. He added that it is likely to be approved and Wescoe and Strong halls by today.
LeVota said he was surprised that the bill was ever introduced.
"We'd like to see this one pass," he said. "There hasn't been a veteran, bill Hicks."
LeVida said the bill, if passed, could help students because it authorized loans for Vietnam veterans who wanted to go to school.
Help Available In Life Planning Career Choice
Assistance in planning careers, leisure time and life as a whole is available through United Ministries in Higher Education (UMHE).
UMH'E lawrence Life Planning Center will offer a series of life planning workshops starting tomorrow night and has set up an event center in the campus Ministry building.
The center will offer material describing alternative careers and life styles. Judy W. Fletcher, a therapist, has been with the Center for 40 years.
Castle described alternative careers and life-types as self-employment, part-time involvement in social change projects and employment to a farm or crafts-oriented community.
The workshops are designed to assist students and local residents in making decisions about their lives, Otto Zing, campus minister and director of the center.
"Most people, including students, go through life with a victim feeling," he said. "When they look for jobs, they look for where the openings are.
"The aim of the workshops is to help participants get a sense of being in charge of their lives. They should get a feeling of satisfaction from their work and life style."
Structured exercises and group
activities in the classroom.
ambitions and capacities of participants.
Zing said many people didn't know themselves well enough to decide what they wanted to do with their careers or how to handle other personal decisions.
"We'll try to help them figure it off." he said. "We won't make decisions for them. Too many people have had too many decisions made for them."
He said students and even a few local residents have already used the information center. It opened two weeks ago.
Books, magazines and taped interviews with self-employed people, subsistence farmers and workers for social change organizations or work collectives are among the materials available at the center.
The bill, the Vietnam Veterans' Education and Compensation Act of 1974, proposes two options to aid Vietnam veterans:
Information on leisure activities such as gardening and crafts also are available at
—A qualified veteran could borrow enough money to cover tuition and fees at school. The veteran would have 10 years to repay the loan at five per cent.
A veteran could elect to receive a one-time bonus of $10 for each month of statuteside duty, $15 for each month oversessee the bonus, and $25 for the bonus, however, couldn't exceed $500.
State Rep. Harold P. Dyck, R-Hesston and chairman of the House Education Committee, said he doubted the veterans' ability to afford college, but it didn't been enough time to consider it.
Deadline for committee approval of bills is Monday.
State Rep. Donn J. Everett, R-Manhattan, introduced the bill to the committee less than two weeks ago. Everett asked the committee to get through the committee this session.
