Martin Graebner was a 41st Division chaplain in New Guinea and the Philippines. Now he is a University of Chicago graduate student (philosophy), living in a tiny prefabricated shack with his wife and baby. The Graebners have seen only one movie in the last six months. By skimping in this and a dozen other ways, solemn, 31-year-old Martin Graebner manages to scrape through on $140 a month. The G.I. Bill of Rights allows him $90. He makes up the difference by acting as campus Lutheran chaplain.
Graebner's background is not entirely typical of G.I. students (most of whom have no profession yet)...
