Officers To Confer With Veterans Today
Two training officers, Robert L. Pease and William L. Lockridge, from Kansas City Veterans administration regional office, will advise veterans on training and subsistence allowance problems, today in the University Veterans bureau, Prof. E. R. Elbel, bureau director, said today. The officers will be available from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Veterans desiring conferences may sign the appointment schedule in the Veterans bureau.
Clarify Points
Following are points that have been clarified by recent bulletins from the Veterans bureau, Professor Elbel said:
One. Student veterans working full-time may be eligible for subsistence allowances.
Two. Veterans drawing retirement pay are eligible for full subsistence allowances.
Three. Any veteran discharged under conditions other than dishonorable, is eligible for benefits under the G.I. Bill.
Veterans taking two hours of college work and earning less than $175, if single, or $200, if married, are entitled to part-time subsistence, he said.
Retirement pay is not considered "earned" so it does not affect subsistence.
'Double Door' Opens April 21 In Fraser
A melodramatic thriller will close the regular season of plays by the department of speech and drama. Prof Allen Crafton said today.
The play, "Double Door," will open April 21 for a three-night run in Fraser theater. Tickets will go on sale Thursday at the ticket office in the basement of Green hall. All seats will be reserved, Professor Crafton said.

"Many mystery melodramas come and go without much public interest but 'Double Door' is an exception," Professor Crafton declared.
Conflict, insanity, and murder lend thrills to a plot that centers about an aristocratic family whose pride develops to a point of mania.
Donald Dixon, assistant professor of speech, will direct the production. He has also designed and constructed the play's scenery.
