The Little Man
Jack the hipper
-•Why do people join the American Veterans Committee on cam
pus? There are a myriad of reasons, all of them good, but one of the
most outstanding is Jack ;Bowers. Jack is the membership cam
paigner for the AVC, the guy who cracks the whip to get the boys to
join up.
• Jack was originally a chemist
mics. He says that he hopes 'to be
able to do something to prevent
The recurrence of the same evils
'that - brought about the interrup

'The AVC is Jack's only activity
on campus at present. He doesn't
regard AVC as just an activity,
but rather-as, the organization
that will ac't' as- the first step in

the Army and .the conditions that

cin the parade to join the only
group which base s its entire for

against those conditions."
Jack is sold on the AVC. He has
always been interested in the so
cial and economic conditions of
the nation, and would at least
like to have some say. In 1940
and 1941 he dropped out of school
and worked his way around this
country and Canada, just to see
bow the other half lives. He got to
know and worked with the con
struction laborers, surveyors, and
airplane builders of the nation.
When he came back to school, he
was convinced that nothing short
of a •full college education offers
any sort of job guarantee.
. 'But Jack's life isn't all blood,
sweat and tears. He was a wrest

and played in the school orchestra.
