selected for the first team. How
ever, the members of the. first

Several matches with schools pi)
over the U. S. are being planned;
with the National Intercollegiate

This match will be held during the

awarded individual prizes.
Col. Swoger, who supervises the

The-meict meeting qf the si
has been tentatively set fo|
latter part of February.
(tod time will be announced
future issue of The Battalion
in favor of- the bonus.
However; when questioned in re
gard to distributing a -.bonus at
this 1 time, the men indicated that
they thought a later date would be
more advisable. Of the men ques-
tinepd, only thought that
a bonus, if it is to be gfanted,
should be piven out at this time.
One suggestion put forth by
K. Z. BOND, sophomore from
in the form of interest-bearing
bonds which M ould matagtt! fB
five yeaw. fTTf , j ' .
The Aggies outdid thc Umvenity
students in their disagreement with
Governor Jester’s recent statement
that the idea of a state bonus was
“un-Texan.” 95.5% of the men
questioned here disagreed vrith
Jester, while 90%- of those at the
University thought the statement
was unwarranted. ‘ |
Various reasons were ! advanced
by, those men not in fdvor of a
bonus, the most common being that
taxes were high enough now, w th-
out thc additional burden of pay
ing for a veteran’s bonus being
placed upon the people. Muiy
thought the veterans of the re<ent
war had already been well re
warded for their service. The many
benefits of the GI Bill if Rights
Were given as examples of public
recognition of the veterans cortri-
butions. |i | i j
. Also, some men argued that the
present inflation, causet by diigh
wages and abundance 6f money,
Would only be aggravated
pouring of millions of dollars into
the hands of Texas veterans.
JACK M. FOLK ES. sOphomore
from Del Rio, stated, “The money
could be put to a better use if
it were used to improve our
school system and raise teachers'
salaries”
