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

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.

Organize Campus Unit
Plans to form an Air Force ri
serve campus unit were made at
a meeting Thursday night, when
a group of former Air Force men
signed to join the proposed unit.
After its formation is approved
by the Eleventh Air Force, the
unit will spend from two to four
hours a month training in "basic"
Air Force work, said Charles
Stiles. who presided at the first
meeting.,
Long range purpose of the unit
is to enable its student members
to "keep a hand in the game,"
thereby improving their chances
for promotion in the Air Force
reserve after they graduate, said
Stiles.
