he now wonders if his rights will be
affected by the law officially end-
ing the war on July 25, 1947 insofar
as veterans benefits are concerned?
A—No, he will lose none of his
rights even though his period of en-
listments extends beyond July 25,
1947.
Q—May I change the beneficiary
of my insurance policy by a last will
or testament?
A—No. A change of beneficiary
for your insurance policy must be
made by written notice to the Vet-
erans Administration over your sig-
nature and it shall not be binding on
VA unless received and endorsed on
the policy by VA.
Q—Please tell me which non-ser-
vice-connected disability benefits are
available to World War veterans and
which to peacetime veterans?
A—The law provides that a pen-
sion for non-service-connected dis-
ability may be payable to perma-
nently and totally disabled World
War veterans. The law does not pro-
vide such a pension for peacetime
veterans.
policies will permit unbroken sub-
sistence payments to veterans going
to college under the G-I Bill and
continuing their studies under an ac-
celerated program. Veterans will be
credited with 15 days leave to be ap-
plied at the end of the last consecu-
tive term of attendance. They will
remain on the subsistence rolls for
the entire period of enrollment cer-
tified to VA by the institution, pro-
vidign, there are no more than 15
days between terms Subsistence will
be paid from date of enrollment to
15 days past the close of the last
term they attend. All intervals of
extended training between semesters
and at the close of the school year
will be considered as leave and will
be charged against entitlement.
Parliamentary Procedure Needed
in Weatherford College
Anyone who has attended organization meetings in
Weatherford College must realize the desperate need for
times used, especially in making and carrying motions,
parliamentary procedure. The disorderly methods some-
is detrimental to the successful functoning of the clubs.
The proper procedure is not difficult to understand and
follow. The eight steps in making and carrying a motion
are:
1. The member stands and addresses the chair.
2. The chair recognizes him.
3. The member makes the motion. "I move that —
is the proper form and should be made in the af-
firmative.

lic Law 16) for disabled veterans.

body down?
Are you lacking in patience, tol-
erance, understanding sympathy, in-

anaemic? Are your grooming and
manners bad?
Make a check list of traits, quali-
ties and features. Examine yourself
honestly. What did your examina-
tion reveal about yourself? Now do
something about it—forget the pro-
nouns I, Mine, Me. Use You, We,
They and Us. In putting your at-
tention on others we forget ourselves
entirely-love, attention and happi-
ness come to us because we have
given unselfishly.

Coyettes To Sponsor
Halloween Fantasies
Thursday night, October 30 in the
gym, the Coyettes will present their
annual Hallowe’en “Affair”. There
will be a big floor show, refresh-
ments and games. The high school
seniors are invited. Admission prices
are fifty cents (50c) per couple and
one dollar ($1.00) stag. And more
good news for the “bashful” boys,
the girls are to ask dates.

Student Body
Elects Cheer
Leaders
With the renewal of football at
W. C. came the reorganization of the
Coyettes and selection of pep lead-
ers. The pep squad consists of ap-
proximately forty girls and three
students from each class who serve
as cheer leaders, three boys and
three girls.
Those elected by the student body
were:

Why Don’t We Do Something About It?
About what? The student lounge, of course. We have
an ideally located room, tastefully decorated, yet unfur-
nished and uninhabited - a frozen asset in every way.
Why don’t we do something about it? It wouldn’t take
much if everyone would cooperate — but will we? Nei-
ther the students nor the faculty and administration has
any apparent interest in it. Seemingly, we are all con-
tent to forget the whole matter; to relinquish the student
lounge for which we crusaded in past years; to stand idly
by and lose the best possible opportunity for extra-cur-
ricular enjoyment — campusiology at its greatest.
Are we going to permit such a thing to happen, or are
we going to do something? Let’s emerge from our state
of lethargy and take advantage of our opportunities now.
EARNING REPORTS—G-I Bill
students studying full time need file
only an estimate of earnings on reg-
istration. The amount of subsistence
allowance will be computed from
these estimates. The amount of sub-
sistence allowance will be computed
from these estimates. The periodic
reports of actual earnings filed by
veteran-students in the past no long-
er will be required unless there is
evidence that earnings exceed the
estimates.
STREAMLINED PROCEDURES—
The new regulations have stream-
lined registration and subsistence
procedures by elimiating numerous
forms and reports required provious-
ly. Institutions no longer are requir-
ed to submit to VA ammirmative re-
ports of conduct, progress and
grades. Future reports will chart on-
ly unsatisfactory progress or discon-
tinuances of training. The new pro-
cedure on earning reports eliminates
the filing of at least two forms each
academic year by each student-eter-
an.
Veterans may secure full informa-
tion of the new laws and regulations
at their nearest VA office.

4. The motion is seconded to learn if at least two per-
sons favor the motion. Since most W. C. meetings
are small it is correct to remain seated and say, “I
second the motion.” If there is no second the mo-
tion is dropped.
5. The chair states the motion so everyone will un-
derstand exactly what is proposed.
6. The chair calls for discussion since everyone
should have an opportunity to express his opin-
ion and ask questions.
7. The chair puts the motion to vote after all discus-
sion is completed. Both negative and affirmative
votes must be taken.
8. The chair announces the result. The usual form is:
“The ‘ayes’ have it and the motion is carried/’ or,
“The “no’s’ have it and the motion is lost.” In
either case, the final decision is repeated in full.
If these eight steps are followed at every meeting, the
clubs will function more smoothly and much moie will
be accomplished.
We desire to be accepted, to be
liked, to be loved, to be made to feel
that we are individuals, that we
count!
Can you see yourself as others see
you? It is difficult for us to do that.
But try! Get busy—examine your-

squeal and chatter? Boys are you

but you never say anything worth-
while. Perhaps you are the mousey,
timid, retiring one. Maybe you are

benefits under the G-I Bill and Pub-
lic Law 16. As a result, education
and training under both laws must
be completed by most veterans by
July 24, 1956.
INCREASED MINIMUMS FOR
DISABLED—Public Law 338 pro-
vides for automatic increases in the
minimum allowances paid veterans
in training under Public Law 16
whose disabilities are rated at 30
percent or higher. The new minima
are $115 a month without depen-
dents and $135 a month with one de-
pendent. The law requires no action
by disabled trainees entitled to the
higher rates because the increases,
effective September 1, 1947, will be
paid automatically with the follow-
ing check.

Green hats! Onions! Shoe polish!

Anything the sophs happen to think
of. The poor freshman Thalians were
really taking punishment last week.
Wearing uncomfortable clothes and
shoes, uncombed hair, and unpleas-
ant smelling onions, were among the
many duties placed upon the fresh-
man plebes. They really did justice
to Bob Cochran’s and Jack Frost’s
cars. To the question of “Have a
shine?” or “Need a shine today?”
The boys answered “Sure” until the
price was announced, then comes the
“Ah—kinda high, don’t you think.”
Thursday was a great day, sum-
ming up all the previous initiation
activities. Thursday night plus early
Friday morning finished the humo-
rous initiation of the plebes of 1947.
