Playing host to 40 AVC delegations from colleges throughout New England, the Harvard Chapter of the American Veterans Committee will join with the Boston University Chapter in co-sponsoring a one-day conference November 24 on "Problems of the Student Veteran."
Arnold Rivkin 2L, regional vice-chairman of the AVC and chairman of the organization's National Education Committee, said that the conference will be paralleled by simultaneous meetings across the country designed to "find out how the student-veterans themselves feel about the GI Bill."
Emphasizing that all educational institutions in the New England area, with or without AVC units already present on their campuses, are invited to send representatives to lend the broadcast possible scope to the discussions, Rivkin urged students interested to attend.
Round table discussions will consider "The Need for Expanding Physical Facilities," "The Challenge to Curriculum and Faculty: Revision in Teaching Methods and Shortages of Personnel," and finally, "Inflation on the Campus." Plenary session forums on "The Veteran Looks at Education" and "Braking the Education Bottleneck" are also scheduled.
