In a letter to The Gamecock, - dated March 18, Senator Olin D. Johnston advised that he will ac tively support and vote for pas sage of the bill now before the Congress to revise upwards the ceilings on veteran-student in comes. "It is apparent," said Senator Johnston, "that the present ceil ings on the amount of money which a veteran student may make by outside employment are work ing to the disadvantage of many students. It favors the indolent to the detriment of the industrious." The letter stated that many deserving and conscientious stu dents have been forced to abandon their educational pursuits because of their primary responsibility to furnish adequate food and cloth ing and shelter to their wives and children. Continuing, the message said, "This married veteran, in many instances, is unable to pro vide on $200 a month." The proposed legislation will in crease the earning capacity ceil ings to $325 monthly for married Legislature May Vote Increase For Universil Religious Emphasis Committees Named For Next December Francis W.

"Our pay is higher than the average at Kentucky, but lower than pay scales at Florida, Alabama, and North Carolina." WSSF BULLETIN!
