Veteran subsistence allowances under the GI bill of rights are wholly inadequate to cover the most necessary living expenses.
That was the consensus by SC veterans who spoke up yesterday when interviewed by the Daily Trojan on I the question of “How do you get along with the monthly subsistence payments from the government?”
A VC BILL
The survey of Trojan veterans was conducted in the background of a new bill, now before congress, which provides for raising subsistence payments for single vets from $65 to $90 and for married vets from $90 to $125, with $10 additional for each child. The bill was written by the American Veterans committee and recently introduced to the house of representatives by Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers, R., Mass.
Results of the SC survey bore out the AVC belief that the present monetary allowance is insufficient to meet needs created by the spiraling living costs. Single veterans asserted that it was practically impossible to live on the present allowance without other incon*e coming from outside work. Married vets declared that it was “absolutely impossible without any outside help.” SAVINGS DRAINED
The most significant aspect brought out by the interviews was the fact that the majority of veterans stated that they were withdrawing most or all of their savings in order to meet the rising cost of living. Some even said that they might have to quit school, or at least discontinue for some time to get back on an even standing with their cash reserves.
Others have augmented the GI bill allowance by cashing in their war bonds, borrowing mon£y, and accepting money from relatives and friends.
WORKS BESIDES Typical was the opinion of H. E. Gardner, political science major with three years of army service. Gardner, under the present law, receives $90 a month, being married and having one child.
“Naturally I am working on the side,” he stated, "otherwise I really wouldn’t know how to get along. I am one of the fortunate few who have well-paying jobs.
I am living with my in-laws and thus sharing rent, food, and other expenses.”
NO SPARE TIME
Asserting that he still has to get into his reserves every month to get extra money for the necessities of life, he declared that he has no spare time at all aside from working and studying and “there is a complete lack of recreation and family life in my setup.”
Single veterans living at home with their parents seem to have somewhat better conditions, but still say they have to cut down on some real necessities of life. LIVES WITH PARENTS
Asking not to be identified for “personal reasons,** a sociology major with five years of service now with the navy stated that he is living with his parents and “that is the only way I can get along. ”

Possible Decrease Inu Fees Forecast By Vice-President
Increases in tuition fees for next semester are absolutely not under consideration according to Robert D. Fisher, financial vice-president of the university “I feel certain,” Mr. Fisher asserted, “that the overall cost for the average student’s tuition next semester will be
no greater tnan this semester and may possibly be less.”
CHANGE IN FORM “There will undoubtedly be a number of changes in the form but not in the quantity of tuition fees,” he added.
As examples of these changes in form, Mr. Fisher cited three revisions, already- approved, in the present arrangements.
As of Sept. 1, 1947. the medical fee of $10 will be abolished.
The application fee of $3 is to be raised to $5. but under the new setup each enrolling student will receive, free of charge, a medical examination in the University Student Health Service office, including a chest X-ray.
REFUND PAYMENT Third of the changes is in the period for payment of refunds to students who withdraw from school after paying their tuition. At present the time limit is eight weeks In the future it will be five weeks.
“Other changes in the form of tuition, but not the quantity,” concluded Mr. Fisher, “are being studied and will be announced later.”
Faculty Club to Hear Housing Discussion
The Los Angeles housing tangle will be explained by Monsignor Thomas J. O’Dwyer, president of the citizens’ housing council of Los Angeles, today in the Student Union when he speaks before the Men s Faculty club.
According to Alonzo Baker, program chairman, Monsignor O'Dwyer has chosen “The Housing Crisis in Los Angeles and What to Do About It,” as the title of his address.
Touchstone Poors Open Friday
Contrasting Plays Included in Show
A sharp contrast between fantasy and realism is portrayed in the four one-act piavs which open Friday evening in Touchstone theater for a two-night run, said Janet Lees, director of “The Highway,” yesterday.
All phases of the plays are handled by the students of experimental theater, Miss Lees said.
Three of the four works were written by SC students.

History of Class In Drama Traced
A revolutionary movement of students organizing without faculty supervision two years ago indicated to the administration that drama majors lacked opportunity to participate in all phases of the theater, said Mr. James H. Butler, supervising director of the experimental class.
The action of this group, named the Touchstone Players, instigated the present drama class of experimental theater. During their existence they produced several groups of one-act plays for the public.
CLASS REVAMPED
Last summer Charles Newman, a visiting instructor in drama, formed the present experimental theater class under revised conditions.
Democracy in the classroom is now practiced, and the students direct the program under faculty supervision.
The course is subdivided into four phases corresponding to the four productions it holds for the public. members of sororities and fra-Students enrolled in the class are ternities on 28th street that all required to work in scene con- their doors, windows, and fire es-structing, painting, stage-managing, | capes are securely locked, directing, and technical directing.

of unpublicized organizational work which has been going on since a committee was appointed for this purpose by Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid a year ago.
The senate meeting will take place in Bowne hall at 4 this afternoon.
FIRST IN ’46
The faculty, in December 1946. elected 43 members to a new group known as the university senate. Twenty-seven ex-officio members, heads of the schools and colleges of the university, are also dn the senate.
Dr. Robert B. Pettengill. secretary of the senate, stated that this is the first time the faculty has been organized, and the group has been informed by Chancellor von KleinSmid that its recommendations will be carefully considered, and its counsel sought by the administration.
The senate has appointed committees and sub-committee, and at the meeting this afternoon, the first reports of these committees will be presented.
MUCH INTEREST
Following widespread interest by the teaching staff and administrative officers in a proposed university senate. Chancellor von KleinSmid appointed a committee to develop a plan for such an organization in Mar. 1946.
This group decided in favor of a senate of about 70 members to be composed of elected and ex-of-fico members. Ex-efficio members were to hold office because of administrative connections and not number more than 40 per cent of the organization. The remaining 60 per cent was to be elected from the teaching staff.
In May 1946. a charter was submitted to the Chancellor, who approved its presentation to the faculty without change. The entire university teaching and administrative staff discussed the charter at (Continued on Page Four)

Plunging back into their haggling over individual articles of the ASSC constitution, interspersed with frequent disputes over points of Roberts Rules of Order, the ASSC senate convenes tonight at 7:30 in the senate chambers for their weekly meeting.
According to the provisions of the present constitution, three separate meetings are necessary for the amendment of any article: one meeting for the presentation of the amendment: another for discussion; and a third for Th« actual vote.
MITCHELL CONVERTS
In order to circumnavigate thi* parliamentary procedure. President Jim Mitchell has converted the senate into a quasi-committee of the whole. Turning the gavel over to Vice-President Doral Bennett, Mitchell acts as chairman of th« committee and thus makes it possible for the senate to act upon amendments during the meeting at which they are proposed.
Working with Mitchell is the constitutional amendment committee, with Alf Harrison as chairman and Milt Dobkin as supreme technical adviser.
SENATE SUGGESTS The procedure at present is for Mitchell to read through the constitution, article by article, including proposed amendments. Members of the senate follow the reading on their own copies of the constitution as it stands and offer comments and objections to the suggested changes.
