PAGE TWO Explanation, Please Early in 1946, when the large majority of veterans returned to the campus, they found that the GI Bill of Rights paid their tuition, subsistence, book and supplies cost. At that time each vet received a $5 check which could be spent in any way the vet desired. A year later the outright gift of money was found to be contrary to regulations of the Veterans Administration and a receipt system was installed. Expendable supplies were purchased by the veteran and the receipts for his purchase were turned in to the College for auditing and refund. This year that plan was abandoned not by the VA but by the College itself. No plan at all has been substituted in its place. A survey conducted this month has shown that Penn State is alone in this action. If the supplies are to be given the veterans, it must be by the College. The VA ofily steps in if the system is not approved. Only certain items such as clothing and fountain pens are on the taboo list. Other schools have fotind approved systems which give the veteran such expendable supplies as paper, bluebooks, notebooks, etc. This usually comes to a total of $5 per semes ter. Perhaps the College administration feels that this is too small an item to warrant the bookkeeping expense involved but to the hard-pressed veteran, it means a great deal. Until this year, book cards were issued and presented to the book store for the required texts. Now the College has seen fit to substitute the receipt plan with the result that the veteran must make an outlay of $l5-$2O at the begin ning of each semester. This is not refunded until at least a month after. Perhaps men who deal in thousands of dollars Cannot sec how these two new College policies, have worked hard ships on the veterans but fraternity men and independents who pay out their entire subsistence checks far room and board will say it does. At least an explanation should be given.—BlF CAMPUS CALENDAR Tuesday, March 2 PITT Men's Glee Club.

(:( Opposes Cabinet Action TO THE EDITOR: One of my greatest disappointments at col k.-ge was Cabinet's decision not to support suspension of patronage at local barber shops. This con servatism or lack of courage of conviction is a disgusting thing to find among the majority of repre sentatives of what I feel is a lib eral student body. Why be afraid to let two thousand people decide between lip service and support of pledged ideals? I have cut from Collegian the voting record of this proposal and will consult it at future college elections to know by actions how candidates and their supporters really feel. I suggest you reprint this record at those times. Let's hope CORE will not be ptagnated by this decision. —Herman A. Lett.
