tIle Veterans Information VFW SCORES LACK OF VA GI BILL PAYMENTS Veterans Administration officals today conceded to the V.F.W. that more than 2,000 veterans in the Los Angeles area, primarily Orange County, have not been paid G.I. Bill education checks for various periods. Ray R. Soden, National Command- er-in Chief of the 1,800,000 Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, expressed concern that this large number of veterans remain unpaid just before the Holiday Season. Soden said that he had been advised that the Los Angeles Regional Office was making a mas- sive special effort to identify each unpaid veteran and to see Look familiar?

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Now that the new physical education instructor, Mr. Davidheiser, is on campus, it is recommended by this committee that he meet with many students to solicit their opinions about the program before going to response Following is a response to the November 30 editorial concerning SGA budget'cutoffs. Due to Christmas vacation the response is somewhat delayed. "Recently the Student Government Association cut off all funds for the handbook, literary magazine, school newspaper, and yearbook. According to the L tri C student Constitution, each club or organization must have a representative to the SGA. Unbeknown to the other staff members their representative mis~ed an ex- cess of three unexcused meetings. At this time the Publication's budget was cut off, but not without warning or notification. The constitution clearly states: 2. a. There shall also be one (1) representative, with voting power from each of the following: 1) Intercollegiate Sports 2) Communication Media (Includes Student Handbook, Yearbook, Expressions and the Reporter) 3) WLTC Radio 4) Program Committee 5) Drama 6) Ski Club 7) Vets Association 8) DECA 9) Phi Beta Lamba lOT MON AMI 11) PSO b. Each representative from the above list shall henceforth be termed Delegate and Alternate, elected to S.G.A. by said club or organization their to Also there were many verbal communications between the Reporter Staff and SGA about the attend~nce of their representative. ARTICLE V,Section B-2c should be enough of a warning for them to make sure that their representative attends the meetings. "Aren't the college's publications worth a simple memo or letter tri in- form them that their representative was missing meetings and their budget was in danger of being cut off?" The Publications are responsible for their representative and should be interested enough to inquire with their representative as to what happens each week at the SGA meetings, and if they would, they would know if their representative was attending or not. "If time was at a minimum, and a letter couldn't be sent, aren't the Publications worth an SGA member just mentioning this fact to a publica- INTERVIEW: Mr. Peter Sell It was only about a year ago that same problem during high school,be- Americans watched with curiosity to cause his family moved six times. see what China looked like, and how He attended school at William Allen, its people lived.
