To he eligible for an initial ap
pointment an applicant must be a
least 21 years of age, a citizen o:
the United States, have; appro
priate professional or technical

Vets Must Notify
VA to Interrupt
Training Program
Veterans who wish to have their
training programs interrupted at
tht* end of the current semester
should write to the VA regional
office in Waco soon, Taylor Wil-«
kins, Veterans Advisor, announced
today.
This procedure will stop the pay
ment of the veteran’s subsistence
allowance August 27 and thus
save two weeks of eligibility.
However, Wilkins warned! that
if a veteran does halt his train
ing as of August 27; his record
will have to be re-processed by the
VA upon his return in September.
This may delay the paymeint of
his subsistence allowance from six
weeks to two months.|
In order to continue drawing
their allowance between August 27
and September 11, veteran students
should not contact the VA.
However, it should be remember
ed that this time will be counted
against the veteran’s remaining
time Of eligibility, Wilkins said.
Juzgado is the Spanish word for
a trial court. From it the U. jjs. got
the slang word “hoosegow,”'mean

One enters a controversial area
when he attempts to evaluate,the
platform and predict the strength
of the two pafties in the November
election, but as a postscript here
goes. .> - ; v -
The:’Progressive Party is nation
al in scope and pretends to carry
on in the nan\e of the New Deal.
Although there is ( considerable
eviderice that the Communists and
their fellow travelers have already
captured - the party, in the minds
of njahy of the Wallace-Taylor ad
herents til* movemenjt Is ‘not sub
versive of democracy. But it is
difficult to find any considerable
number of the followers of the
new party who get up before
breakfast) in order to shoot Com*
munists. It assumes that a large
segment of the citizens has reach
ed a Servile condition of mind that
only A paternalistic governmenf
will satisfy.
It would become most members
of the party to stay within the
fold of the Democratic Party. Oth*
er than on foreign policy (and the
difference there may be moire su
perficial than most think), the
platforms of the two parties do not
vary greatly. The party will poll
about ! one-third of the votes in
New York City, and it will get a
surprising scattering of votes all
over the U. S. Were all students
on the campus eligible to Vote, it
would; run about even with the
Dixiecrats.
The Dixiecrats constitute a sec
tional party. The party has 1 a past
but no future. It cannot hope to
be a national party, for its princi
ples are as dead as Thomas Jeffer
son who fathered them.
Onfii] may respect the faith and
the guts of the Dixiecrats as indi ;
viduals, but he should know
they advocate a “lost cause. ,
less than the Progressives, they
merely give aid and comfort to the
Republicans. Most of them should
vote the Republican ticket, and
they could easily do sd “without
holding their noses.” The party
will run second to the Democrats
in the Southern ntotes, except that
it majr carry Mississippi and South
Carolina and run behind the Re
publicans in Tennessee.

By BUDDY LUCE „
In my opinion, the purpose of the
Democratic Party is being inten

DixieCrats, who are blindly taking

ride to nothing but defeat for
themselves and the Democratic
