Gl benefits: 'too little, too late'
By Philip Hagoptan
CoUegtan staff Writer
President Nixon recently ordered a «crack management
team* to investigate ways of lm-
provlng medical services and
benefits for veterans.
However, one Vietnam veteran
at CSUF said bo feels the current
concern ln official circles over
the plight of Vietnam veterans -
Including the designation of
March 2t as 'Vietnam Veterans
Day* - Is a case of too little too
late.
•The vets really needed a lot
of help within the past four or five
yeara,* said Rob Applegate, a
senior business major.

A bill now being considered tn
the Senate would raise this
monthly allowance to $270 and
would extend the eligibility for
benefits  from 36 to 45 months.
Applegate, who was«*lscharged
from the Army In 1968 and whose
benefits expired last spring, said
he "would still be getting" government aid If the Senate's proposal were already part of the
law.

Nevertheless, Gorman said,
there are three programs at
CSUF offering financial aid to
veterans or their dependents.
The first Is "vocational rehabilitation," assisting nearly 30
students here who have suffered -
30 per cent disability as a result
of military service.
Gorman said this prdgram provides a disabled veteran with $170
a month, but Includes such expenses as hooks and supplies.     '
Another program, he said, offers aid to widows and orphans
of veterans. Thirty-five students
are receiving such aid.

they only used 9.2 mllUon barrels.
The UnltedStates followed far behind In. 1973 with 17.5 million
