Show Sign Up for School . . . Veterans Can Stfll Sign Up For Winter Quarter at Tech Veterans of the armed forces, for-ces, both men and women, may still attend the winter quarter of Utah Technical College at Provo (beginning Jan. 4) under benefits due them from the GI Bill of Rights. This was announced today by Anthony Faulary, director of the Veterans Program at The January driver training course for adults who have never driven before or who do not now have a driver's license licen-se will begin Monday, Jan. 3, at Utah Technical College at Provo. Utah law now requires that an approved driver education course be taken before initial issuance of a driver's license. The Utah Tech course fills this requirement. Classwork will begin and registration take place at 5:30 that evening in the driver training portion of the College, located just inside the west entrance to the south wing. The classes will meet daily 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday in order to enable completion of classwork by the end of the month. The course is open to anyone not enrolled in high school. Tuition is $40 for the course, which utilizes the latest and most thorough techniques of driver training, including simulated driving in the electronic-mechanical "Drive-O-Trainers" at the College. Utah Tech, who pointed out that any veteran released from active duty after Mar. 17, 1967 may be eligible for veterans educational benefits if he or she has not already used all that are due. Full explanation of the veteran's status and how much he or she will draw if eligible, may be received at Mr. Famulary's office at Utah Tech. Most major programs at Utah Tech are still accepting new students for the winter quarter, the veterans director said. He advised registration as soon as possible to insure getting classes of choice. Day school registration for new students (those not currently enrolled for the fall quarter) will be held Jan. 3 beginning at 8:30 a.m. Evening school registration, where a wide variety of classes are open to the new student, is now going on and will continue through Friday of this week and Mondays through Thursdays of the two following weeks. "A new law was passed recently increasing the amount of educational monthly mon-thly allotment for the veteran," said Mr. Faulary, "and the maximum number of months of educational benefits was increased from 36 to 45 months. Hence, a great many veterans are still eligible for benefits, perhaps because of the extended time, for many who may have thought their benefits have expired." The Veterans Office at Utah Tech will arrange for individual testing and career counseling for any veteran unclear about his or her future, said Mr. Famulary. He noted Utah Tech maintains main-tains a fulltime Career Development Center that administers tests and maintains main-tains a library of career information in-formation and films. The Utah Tech veterans office, of-fice, which is available to any veteran in the area, whether enrolled, or even interested in Utah Tech, also provides a service to those who have less than honorable discharges. New regulations allow for a regional board of review for veterans who wish to have their discharges upgraded. The Utah Tech veterans office of-fice in Provo is open at the college from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Mondays through Thrusdays and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Fridays. It will not be open the two Fridays preceding Christmas and New Year's Day. |
