JOHN E. WOODS VETERANS ' INFORMATION SERVICE AND PLACEMENT Twenty-four veterans are attending the University of Omaha under the Servicemen ' s readjustment acts. To help them plan their programs and to and Servicemen ' s readjustment acts. To help them plan their programs the University has established a Veteran ' s Information Service under the di- rection of former Captain John E. Woods, who has returned from England and France after twenty-five months of service with a fighter squadron of the Army Air Corps. Am I eligible? — How much college education can ' get? — How about disabled veterans? are among the questions which arise and which Mr. Woods is well equipped to answer. Mr. Woods is also in charge of vocational guidance and hopes that a vocational guidance clinic may be established in the future. The placement work of the office has been somewhat simplified by the current manpower shortage, but the problem of fitting people to jobs is still of vital importance, whether they ore students, ex-students, or graduates.
