Democratic Presidential candidate Sen. John H. Glenn (D-Ohio) outlined a new policy proposal yesterday, saying that he would "tie some educational advantages to different types of public service."
In an interview before yesterday's candidates' debate at the Kennedy by School of Government, Glenn said he would offer educational fending to students who serve in the military, of in such civilian projects as conservation.
