DETROIT (NC) - Veterans seeking a college education will benefit from a special admissions program established by the Univ~rsity of ~roit. Known as '''Project Veteran," the program is designed to assist returning servicemen who have successfully completed the equivalent of a high school education, the only requireme~t for admission. Father James V. McGlynn, S.J. vice-president for academic affairs, said if a need is indiCated, veterans can take special skills courses during their first year to enable them to master college studies. In addition, he said veterans attending the university will be offered special counseling services. Law school admission tests have been waived for servicemen now stationed overseas who plan to enroll here in August. Servicemen planning to study at the university, but who are now in military hospitals, will also be offered counseling services, especially in the skills courses, during their recuperation. Father McGlynn said, "Project Veteran is more than just a warm invitation. We believe that any returning veteran who really wants to get a college education should have a realistic chance to do so." The university, he said, hopes to admit as many veterans into the program as its resources permit.
