Veterans Must Report Changes In Schedules Ralph H. Price, Training Officei at the Guidance Center, said yes. terday that the Veterans whc changed their courses of study as of September 12, 1946, without obtaining Veterans Administratior approval, have only a limited time 0 to send a written request for au thority for their changes. Sub sistence can not be reinstated o continued for Veterans in suct cases, according to existing regu. lations of the V.A. "The reason a number of Vet. erans are not receiving pay cur rently is the irregularity of their courses," declared Mr. Price. "I1 is the desire of this office that each Veteran's training affairs be kept in order so that subsistenc and tuition may be paid without unnecessary delay," continued the Training OL:icer. "The Vetera&'s cooperation, however, is necessary at all times," Mr. Price added. Veterans who changed courses at the beginning of the present fall term without obtaining V. A. approval or who anticipate chang ing at the beginning of the- Feb ruary term are requested to sub mit in writing, giving full rea sons, for V. A. authority to change courses, to Mr. Ralph -Hi. Price, Training Officer, V. A. Guidance Center, McKissick Library, Uni versity of South- Carolina. "Above all," said Mr. Price, "make it known that the Guid ance Center is not a finance func tion of the Veterans Administra tion. Any work that we do con cerned with finance, such as col lecting data as the recent form 1916, is merely a convenience to the Veteran. Our work here is devoted to the Veteran's training, not subsistence."

"State Of Unit By Town Thea By MIKE KARVELAS The Town Theatre last evening presented "State of the Union" as its second production of the 1946-47 season. Authored by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, who are re sponsible for scrIpting America's perennial comedy hit, "Life With Father," the play is the recipient of this year's Pulitzer Prize award -and deservedly so. Here is a play whose signifi cance lies not only in its expert construction, but in the manner in which It views our political scene clearly, honestly and hopefully. The production is as timely in its remarks as the atomic bomb, es pecially when seen In the light of the recent Republican electoral landslides. "State of the Union" Is an Ironic comedy of love with a political free-for-all to spark the age old and always enjoyable battle of two women for one man. The plot ev6o}ves around the anxious efforts of the Republican party to gain control of the highest office In the land in the forthcoming elec tions.
