Dean Lierle, manager of the KTRO news bureau will act as moderator.
Dobkin and Hillings were delegates to the NSA convention last summer in which the organization was formed by more than 400 student representatives of United States schools.
The issue will be debated in Wednesday evening’s senate session which will be divided into two phases. The first deals with affiliation and the second concerns approval of the national constitution. Decisions will be sent to the student association's national office at the University of Wisconsin.
Two KTRO programs scheduled for 8:30 and 8:45. “Hello Troy,” and “Interlude in Ivory,” have been canceled to provide radio time for the discussion.
Air Show Adds Jazz Classics
Better listening has been promised to tuners-in of Al Rieman’s program. “Jazz Band Ball.” heard Sunday through Friday at 5:15 pjn. on KTRO. 660 kilocycles.
To back up this statement, Rie-man has added over 100 new collector’s items to his private library of over 2000 jazz classics.
“Jazz is a representation of the very rhythm and movement of America’s basic emotional makeup. I like to think of it as happy music. It makes me feel happy,” said Rieman.
‘ Jazz is, after all. the basis of modem American folk music, and is one of the few real contributions America has made to the music world,” he adds.
The jazz jockey has spent 10 years as a professional musician, playing both the trombone and comet. He spent 39 months with military and dance bands in the army, and did recording work in Australia, where he wrote and recorded the tune. “I Need You Again.” He has also done disc jockey work on a Canadian and a local station.
from $90 to $105, and those with two or more dependents from $90 to $120..
The new schedules go into effect April 1.
Increases in subsistence allow-ance have been estimated by the veterans administration to cost the government approximately $217,000,-000 a year.
MAY BE LATE
Eecause of the large amount of bookkeeping and administrative work involved with the increases there may be as much as a 30-day delay in mailing of some of the checks.
The bill, strongly supported by veterans' organizations, was passed by the house last Feb. 3 and by the senate last summer. The former body passed the measure by a 370-6 vote.
PART-TIMERS ELIGIBLE
Veterans working part time while going to school will be eligible for new allowances, a VA spokesman said. Their combined allowances and salaries must still be kept under the $175 ceiling for single vets and $200 a month for veterans with dependents.
A veteran with dependents who is earning $200 a month or more while he goes to school will colelct no subsistence allowance . If his salary. on a part time or full time basis, totals $150, he will get a $50 allowance from the government.
CEILING LIFT COMING
Both houses of congress have passed a bill increasing veterans on-the-job subsistence allowances. If and ^hen the ceiling is raised, veterans in school who work part time will not be affected. The bill applies only to those vets who are working full time.
Arnold F. Prokop, officer in charge of the university education and training office, said as far as he knows no official reports regarding the new law affecting the disabled veterans attending school ur-der public law 16 have been received.

Atomic Bomb Peril Of Western Culture
SC’s 36th philosophy-forum series will begin this afternoon at 4:15 when Dr. Wilbur H. Long, professor of philosophy, speaks on “The Concept of Power in Western Culture,” a general introduction to the nine weekly lectures that follow.
With the topic “Implications of Atomic Energy” as the theme of the Bowne hall discussions,
Dr. Long will give a broad outlook on the meanings of atomic power in the world today. In the lectures to follow, the aspects of the atom bomb will be viewed from the standpoint of specialists in physics, sociology, economics, political science, law, international relations, education, and philosophy.
Dr. Long said that “philosophical confusion” predominates in much of the world today as a result of the tremendous new power that man has developed. “Unfortunately our moral power has not kept pace with our scientific progress,” he added.
“The concept .of power is peculiarly associated with western civilization, and although certain sources exist in Greek and Christian thought, there remains a strong vitality in the west because of the enduring western frontiers and the un rivaled level of science developed in the west during the 17th century,” the philosophy professor explained.
The west has dominated the world for 200 years, but this power was not fully realized until atomic warfare was brought to the public’s attention in a “spectacular way” at Hiroshima and Bikini.
Now a clear head is needed to use this power,’’ he stressed.
