in mathematics courses has necessitated the appointment of Mrs.

department staff for the spring

Money Available
for Vet Loans
Relief for veterans whose sub-
sistance checks are slow in starting could be seen this week in two
recent actions of the loan fund
board. More money has been made
available for the Men's Union Loan
fund for short term, non-interest
loans; and part of the Victory Loan
fund has been made available for
small loans to veterans at 3 percent.
The* Men's Union Loan fund of
$500 was exhausted last semester
because of the heavy drain upon it
by vets. This fund Was given out-,
right $221.61 from the Victory Loan,
fund, an amount which was oversubscribed to the $3750 goal set by
students and faculty in 1943, when
the fund was -established. The men's
union fund is for the use of all
meh students, and lends very small
amounts for short terms at no. interest.
The second action of the loan
fund board made $750 of the Victory Loan fund available immediately for veterans. Small loans (usually under $25) will be made at
3 percent interest instead of the
6 percent Which this fund was intended to charge.
The Victory Loan fund, as originally set up, was to make loans
to veterans of World War n and
their children. Victory bonds in the
amount of $3750 were to be held until maturity, at which time their
value would be $5000, before the
fund began operation. The loan
fund board pointed out, however,
that the 3 percent interest charge
Would bring into the fund the
same amount of accrual as would
be added by the government interest.
