Veterans Establish National GI
CollegeFraternalOrganization
With initials standing for "GI finished his york under the GI
Association," a new intercollegiate
veterans' association has been or
ganied at the Polytechnic Insti
tute of Brooklyn and is now ready
to expand in chapters in colleges
and universities throughout the
country. The organization has
patented the name Gamma Iota
Alpha.
Honorably discharged members
oi any branch of the armed forces
are eligible for membership m the
new association.
The organization is presently
operating along fraternal lines, al
though it is in no sense a fra
ternity, for men attending col
leges under the GI Bill of Rights,
or a similar law, or as individuals.'
Servicewomen also are entitled to
join the association and it is en
tirely possible that units eventu
ally may be established in co-educational
and women's colleges
.for members of Spars, Waves,
Wacs, and women Marines at
tending college under the GI Bill
of Rights.
Open to All Veterans.
While the association at the
present time is functioning as an
undergraduate organization it is
open to veterans of all wars who
are college graduates and it will
continue after the last man has
Bill of Rights as an organization
of college veterans. Taking an ac
tive part at the Polytechnic Insti
tute in formation and planning of
the organization are members of
the faculty who are veterans of
the first World war. In their opin
ion, the new organization can be
one of the most helpful instru
ments to the administrators of
colleges all over the United States
in aiding the discharged service
man to rehabilitate himself to ci
vilian life.
The founding chapter at Poly
technic is acting as national head
quarters for the organization un
til a convention can be held, pos
sibly during the coming summer.
When such a national convention
is held it will be decided where
the national headquarters will be
located.
At this convention the broad
purposes of the organization will
be defined and a permanent con
stitution will be drawn up which
will outline the part an organiza
tion composed of veterans with a
more or less uniform educational
background can take in national
programs concerned with the
welfare of the nation as a whole

The New
holds A SURE BETS
This year there are to be only two War
Loans.
But in these two loans we must lend
Uncle Sam just about as much money as
we did last year in f hree.
That won't be easy.
But it'll be a lot easier if you'll do the
same thing that 27 million Americans in
the Payroll Savings Plan are doing.
Right now they're stepping up their
allotments saving extra money so that
they can spread their War Bond buying
over more pay checks.
If you're wise and anxious to help your
country finish this thing right you'll start
saving noiv for the first of 1945's two big
War Loans.
This way you can set aside enough to fill
your quota for the 7th War Loan -which
starts next month almost before it gets
under way.
It means sacrifice.
But it also moans you're supporting to
the best of your ability the men who are
sacrificing things like arms and legs and
lives.
START SAVING HOIV FOR THE MIGHTY 7
