"I want to take an aptitude test" is a common request heard from applicants for advisement under Public Law 346 at. the Veterans Administration Guid ance Center located in Room 14 of the Main Building at Notre Dame. While such a request implies only testing, the actual advisement program involves in terviewing and counseling, and tests are used only as devices to supplement and validate many other sources of informa tion.
In addition to the numerous requests for the advisement program which come from the Notre Dame student body, the guidance center handles a vast range of requests including those of disabled vet erans who are required by the V.A. to undergo an advisement for the selection of an occupational objective and approv al of a training program; those of vet erans in training under P-346 who need assistance in the selection of a course, by reason of having made unsatisfactory progress on a previous course; those of veterans, training under the disability General view of Veterans Guidance Center at Notro Dome.

Special letters of Invitation to the reunion were sent from the Alumni Oflice in March to all the surviving members of these earlier classes, and, as acceptances are received, plans will be completed for the gathering* on the campus and further notice sent to those returning. The war years Interrupted all class reunions. On this account especially, the Alumni Ofhce wanted this year to invite back to Notre Dame, not only the members of the golden anniver sary class of 1897, but also the members of preceding classes, several of whom had missed their reunions on account of the war. It Is too soon after the mailing of the invi tations to make any comprehensive l!st of those from the early days who will be back. Unfor tunately, FATHER JOHN MacNAMARA.
