The student, either of lower schools or colleges, rises to a simple break fast in an unheated house, said Vendermeersche, and goes to a< cold school. Peat and wood for fuel is particularly hard to obtain, and' homes are cold and damp all the time, he said.

The veterans agreed that if additional money was to be spent for the Klamath Falls project it could be put to a better use for permanent buildings at the present educational institutions. Gil Roberts, sophomore physical education student, stated that petitions will be placed in the Co-op today for veterans to read and sign if they do not favor the Klamath Falls educa tion program. The petitions will be forwarded to Governor Earl Snell in Salem. Barracks Vacant The discussion revolved around the possible acceptance of the Klamath Falls marine barracks for a veteran’s school for under graduate students. The marine barracks, located five miles from Klamath Falls, will be vacated the first of March and have been of fered to the state of Oregon by the federal government. Summing up the attitude of the veterans at the meeting, Roberts stated, “If the state board of edu cation cannot find professors and hasn’t the money to build at any of the five state educational in stitutions I do not see where they can secure the money for the Klamath Falls proposal. No Relish “I do not think many of the veterans, relish the idea of bar racks life in a non-co-educational institution,” he added. The veterans were unanimous in their opinion that any money ap propriated for an educational pro gram should be utilized at the five existing institutions, rather than put into a temporary program. They also protested the pro posed regimentation of their re turning buddies, stating they felt the veterans Who were most con cerned should be consulted first.
