Veterans News
More than a million and a half
veterans were treated during fis-
cal year 1948 under the "home
town" medical program Veterans
Administration announced this
week.
Treatments averaged three per
veteran according to a VA report
showing a total of 4410012 treat-
ments by both VA staff doctors
and private physicians during the
year ending June 30 1948. Indi-
viduals treated numbered 1626-
109. The private physicians treated
701105 veterans cooperating with
the VA in a program designed to
provide "home town" care for dis-
abilities attribued to wartime ser-
vice. They were paid $11437739
for 2735429 treatments estab-
lishing an average charge-per-treatment
of $4.18 and a cost-per-veteran
of $15.03.
VA staff doctors during the
year handled 805004 individual
veterans and a total of 1080183
treatments. Since these were tak-
en care of in VA outpatient clinics
located in the agency's hospitals
and other field installations no
per-patient or per-treatment costs
were compiled for this group.
VA's Dallas Branch Area Office
which includes Texas Louisiana
and Mississippi reported 131521
treatments by private physicians
representing 33029 individual vet-
erans at a cost per treatment of
3.28.
During the same period VA's
staff doctors in the Dallas Branch
Area gave 123547 treatments in
out-patient clinics to 70407 veterans.
Veterans enrolled in schools and
colleges under the GI Bill must
comply with the regularly pre-
scribed standards and practices of
the educational institutions during
their period of enrollment VA re-
ports. Student-veterans must abide by
all the rules and regulations of the
institutions where they are enroll-
ed. They must maintain satisfac-
tory academic marks. Wilful mis-
conduct or unsatisfactory progress
are grounds for withdrawal of
subsistence and tuition payments.
The number of applications for
veterans' GI loans dropped to 24-
002 during November 1948 the
smallest monthly total since Jan-
uary 1940 VA reports.

From An Ex-Student
"See here has been dawning an
other new day" for Daniel Baker.
Football season is over Forget it.
You fought a good fight. You put
all you had in every game. Club
coach cheerleaders students and
fans had the will to win and
spared no effort. After all "the
"Great Scorer writes" "not that
you won or lost but HOW you
played the game." From my point
of view you were TOPS.
Now that the basket ball season
is here we are expecting the same
heroic sportsmanship. We feel cer-
tain that you will win most if not
all the games you play. Success is
always just around the comer.
Catch up with it. Even if you don't
score high in one game "Tomor-
row is. another day."
The Exes are still in there bat-
tin' for Daniel Baker in every de-
partment academic as well as th-
letic and admiring every year's
student body more than that of
the year before.

A new "intensive treatment"
program aimed at rehabilitating
the more serious types of mental
patients is beginning to pay off
for the Veterans Administration.
Progress made thus far indicates
a potential discharge rate of nearly
40 percent for a class of mental
cases previously considered prob-
ably life-long hospital patients.
