Addresses Vets 4
Don White, representing national
headquarters of the American
Legion, met with a small group of
campus veterans Friday, August 3,
in the music room of Sims to
discuss the ground work for form
ing a local campus American Legion
post for the ex-servicemen and
women now on the campus and to
make ready for those that will soon
be coming in.
"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.
Mr. White assured the Carolina
veterans and likewise all future
veterans of this and all other
campuses that those Legioneers of

tihe last war and the older ones of
this one were thoroughly aware
of tle younger generation of vet
eran's place and part in the world
of tomorrow and that they want
to give them the chance that so
few of "the old soldiers" have had
to adapt themselves to the way of
life that was once a pat of all of
t hem.
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. There were
many important points discussed
during this session and. among
these were the means by which
money would he raised and for
what purposes this money would
he use(. Ar. 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."
A meeting of all campus veterans
interested in either joining or t rans

drawn up for the chartering of
