Science Students on War Work Overlooked
Science Students on War Work Overlooked
There was a class of students, the report goes on to say, which are being overlooked so far as rehabilitation benefits are concerned. These are those students, mostly Science graduates, who have been called up for work in Radio Location, etc. In many cases they have been forbidden to enlist. Many of them were taking other courses than the course in radio-physics that they are doing now. Something should be done to ensure that they have a chance to take up the Sciences they are really interested in after the war.
Conference decided to set up a Permanent Committee made up of Durie Maysmor, Jim Winchester and Dr. Blair to keep an eye on rehabilitation matters during the year.
