Bad breaks and a big University of Iowa line spelled defeat for the University of Nebraska as the Hawkeyes punched out a 21-7 victory before Farmers Ball Highlites Aictivity Plan Farmer's Formal is back again! This annual dance, highlight of agricultural college activities, will be held in Activities Hall on the Ag college campus from 9 to 12 Friday, under the auspices of the Ag executive board. Because of the manpower shortage during the war, the dance has not been held since 1942. "All the traditions of the old Farmer's Formals will be re vived," says Ned Raun, president of the Ag exec board, "includ ing the one that invites students See FARMERS' BALL, page 2. 30,500 fans in Iowa staduim, yes- ttrday afternoon. It was a game of fumbles, Inter cepted passes and fast moving plays that decided the outcome in favor of the home team. With Ne braska moving to the front with a touchdown in the opening quar ter, the Iowans came back with two scores in the second period and clinched the game with an other counter in the last period. Dell Bartells of the Hawkeyes fumbled on the Iowa 27 yard line and Jack Hazen recovered to set up the Nebraska score. Duck Hut ton plunged 8 yards to the 19 and was followed by Tom Novak's two yard line smash for a first down on the 17. Hutton and No vak again hit for another first down on Iowa's 8, Cletus Fischer gained a yard and then Novak powerhoused his way to the one-foot-line. Nebraska's backfield was in mo tion on the next play and the ball was moved back five yards from where Novak went off right guard to score with one and a half min utes left in the first quarter. Sam Vacanti's try for point was good and the Cornhuskers led 7 to 0. Another fumble set up the first See FOOTBALL, page 7. Vets Administration Works Overtime On Pay Increase To make every week day a pay day for some of the veterans now enrolled in Nebraska universities and colleges, the finance division of the Veterans Administration in Lincoln is making every "week night a work, night. T. M. Sorensen, VA regional fi nance officer, reported today that the names of some 4,300 student veterans have already been placed on the subsistence payroll since mid-September. By keeping the aspirin handy and working 13 hours a day, the finance division is now hitting a stride of certifying almost 700 new student veterans a day. As each new list is completed, it is sent to the Kansas City office of the U. S. Treasury department where the checks are written and mailed. More Jobs. But seeing that student veter ans get their pay is but one small part of the finance division s job Not only does the division make up the payrolls for the college vet eransof which there are some 11,500 in Nebraska but also for some 2,000 special students plus an additional o.uuu on-tne-joo trainees who get subsistence, plus more than M.ouu veterans ol World wars I and II who receive disability pensions or compensa tion. All in all, the regional finance 'office last month cleared 33,935 checks for payment and that was before the full load of the new school term had been reached. Veteran Help. Sorensen says veterans them selves can help speed the issuance of checks, First, by not calling up to ask, "When will I get paid?" Second, by keeping the VA informed of changes in address. "We certainly don't blame vet erans for wanting to get their checks promptly," Sorensen said, but it surely slows things down when we have to - stop and hunt See VETS, page i. SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCE. There has been some mis understanding: as to how much subsistence allowance will be paid to veterans under the G.I. Bill who are also earning money by reason of employ ment. Public Law 679 amends the G. I. Bill so that no vet eran "on-the-job" training- or institutional (University) training can receive more than $110 per month from outside employment without experi encing a proportional cut in subsistence allowance. This means that a student at the university who receives $111 per month from outside em ployment will have one dollar deducted from his subsistence allowance; a student receiving $112 per month would have two dollars deducted from his subsistence allowance, and so on. When a student without de pendencies receives $175 or more per month from outside employment he will then re ceive no subsistence allowance from the Veterans Administra tion. In like manner a student who has dependents and who receives $200 or more per month from outside employ ment will receive no subsist ence allowance from the Vet erans Administration. Of course, any student who re ceives $110 or less per month will receive his full subsist ence. If at any time during the semester a veteran's remuner ation from employment changes so that he receives more than $110 per month where he was not receiving that much previously, he is required to report this change to the Veterans Administra tion. Conversely, if his re muneration from employment drops below $110 per month, he should likewise report to the Veterans Administration.' J. P. Colbert, Director ' University of Nebraska Veterans' Consultation Board. 1 I 8 fi! I. a i 4 1 I u i 'A i'i . it J r 1 i
