"This post," stated Mr. White, "will be based on one that is tried and proven that was formed and organized in Norman, Oklahoma, at the Tniversity of Oklahoma." "In fact," he added, "this was the first such post in the entire history of the American Legion." As a representative of national headquarters, Mlr. White assured the group that every other Legion post in the nation would he back ing the campus groutp with all their power and would ever be waiting for any suggestions an(l requests as to the aid of such groups throughout the American college front. A decision was reached by the group present that Carolina vet erans would welcome the oppor tunity to become a part of an or ganization intending to aid them and those to follow. They also came to ihe decision that the con stitution binding the old organi xation known as Gamecock Vet erans of World War II would be re placed by the one of the Ameri can Legion. the constitution being changed to fit the sittitlon n der which the campus post is be ing formed.

After t he regularly planned points were brought forth and discussed there was a regular shooting of the Ibreeze that is so typical when vet erans get together.

White stated that the group could freely operate on a social as well as a business-like basis. Money he said, "could and often is raised by dances and other forms of entertainment an( recrea tion."
