Farmer's Formal is back again!
This annual dance, highlight of
agricultural college activities, will
be held in Activities Hall on the

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

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

a touchdown in the opening quar

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

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.'
