Many engaged in common student activities: they wrote for the&nbsp;<em>Daily Orange<\/em>, participated in athletics, and attended dances. But many veterans also did not feel truly a part of campus life for a variety of reasons. A large number of them lived off campus, had different life experiences than non-veterans, and started college later in life. Of the 2.3 million veterans who attended colleges and universities between 1945 and 1950, over half were married. As a result of these differences, many Syracuse University veterans socialized more often with each other than with non-veteran students and formed their own organizations, such as the Women Veterans Association and the American Veterans Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Older and more experienced, veteran students challenged a number of campus traditions at Syracuse University. First-year students had long been required to wear beanies to identify their freshman status, but expecting a former military officer to don one was quickly recognized as inappropriate. Veterans were also unhappy with the seating arrangement during games at Archbold Stadium. Traditionally, women and men students sat in separate sections, but many married veterans insisted on sitting with their spouses during football games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"exhibits-media-card exhibits-media-card-left\">\n<div class=\"exhibits-media-card-media\">\n<figure aria-describedby=\"image1-desc\">\n<script type='text\/javascript'>jQuery(document).ready(function(){var viewer=OpenSeadragon({id: 'deepzoomContainer0',prefixUrl:'https:\/\/digitalexhibits.syr.edu\/gibill\/wp-content\/plugins\/zoom-openseadragon\/images\/',collectionRows:false,collectionColumns:3,showNavigationControl:true,showZoomControl:true,showHomeControl:true,showFullPageControl:true,showRotationControl:false,showSequenceControl:true,sequenceMode:false,showReferenceStrip:false,showNavigator:true,navigatorId:\"\",navigatorPosition:'TOP_RIGHT',referenceStripSizeRatio:0.2,referenceStripScroll:'horizontal',referenceStripPosition:'BOTTOM_LEFT',tileSources: [{title:'test',tileSource:'\/data\/gibill\/ch5\/sua_photographs_00129.dzi'}]});\n\tviewer.curItem=viewer.initialPage;\n\tviewer.curZoom=viewer.initialPage;\n\t\n\tviewer.goTo = function(index) {  \/\/ zoom on specific resource from those on screen             \n\t     this.curItem=index;    \n\t     if (this.sequenceMode) this.goToPage(this.curItem);\n\t     else this.viewport.fitBounds(this.world.getItemAt(this.curItem).getBounds());\n\t     this.curZoom=this.curItem;  \n       \n\t}\n\tviewer.hitTest = function(position) { \/\/ return resource under cursor\n\t    var box;\n\t    var count = this.world.getItemCount();\n\t    for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {\n\t        box = this.world.getItemAt(i).getBounds();\n\t        if (position.x > box.x && \n\t                position.y > box.y && \n\t                position.x < box.x + box.width &&\n\t                position.y < box.y + box.height) {\n\t            return i;\n\t        }\n\t    }\n\t\n\t    return -1;\n\t}\n\tviewer.showMeta = function (i) \n\t       {                        \n\t       if (i!=-1) {\n\t           var title=this.tileSources[i].title;\n\t           if (title!='') jQuery('#deepzoomCaption0').html(title);\t          \n\t          }\n\t      \n\t       }\n\tviewer.addHandler('page', function (data) {\n\t   viewer.showMeta(data.page);\n\t  \n\t});\n\tviewer.addHandler('canvas-click', function(event) {\n\t    if (viewer.sequenceMode==true) return;\n\t                       \n\t    var index = viewer.hitTest(viewer.viewport.pointFromPixel(event.position));   \n\t    if ((index !== -1)&&(index!=viewer.curZoom)) {\n\t        event.preventDefaultAction = true;\n\t        viewer.goTo(index); \n\t        viewer.showMeta(index);                         \n\t    }\n\t\n\t});\n\t\n    \n        if (viewer.sequenceMode==true) viewer.showMeta(viewer.initialPage);\n   \n\t\n\t\n\t});<\/script><figure  style='width: 360px' class='wp-caption alignnone'><div class='deepzoomContainer' id='deepzoomContainer0' style='width: 360px; height: 400px;'><\/div><figcaption id='deepzoomCaption0' class='wp-caption-text'><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"image1-desc\" class=\"exhibits-media-card-text\">\n<b>Photograph of the Syracuse University Varsity football team, most of whom were veterans, 1948. <a href=\"https:\/\/library.syracuse.edu\/digital\/guides_sua\/html\/sua_photographs.htm\">Syracuse University Photograph Collection, University Archives<\/a>.
