AVC's Telegrams Push Rogers Bill

In a strenuous campaign to help passage of the Rogers Bill for increased monthly payments to student veterans, members of AVC will station themselves in College dining halls today to accept student "pressure" telegrams.

The vet group has asked all undergraduates to telegraph Speaker Joseph W. Martin and House Majority Leader Charles W. Halleck '07 from the House and Union booths, requesting their support behind the measure.

The Rogers Bill, sponsored by Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers (R. Mass.) has already passed the Senate and comes up for a House vote this week. It calls for monthly allotment boosts from $65 to $75 for unmarried students, from $90 to $105 for those with one dependent, and from $90 to $120 for those with two or more dependents.
