Petition Seeks GI Bill Increase
A petition for increased allotments under the GI Bill will be made available for the signatures of campus veterans from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday through Friday, at the Student Union ticket booth.
The University Veterans Organization has been working with Sens. Frank Carlson and Andrew Scheepel in connection with the petition, which is patterned after similar petitions circulated at Kansas State and other colleges throughout the country.
The petition reads:
We, the undersigned, veterans or the armed forces attending the University of Kansas ...believe the monetary training allowance under said Public Laws are grossly insufficient to maintain minimum living standards and hereby attest that hardship is experienced by those veterans attending college who do not have a supplementary income.
We hereby petition the Congress of the United States to favorably consider Senate Bill Number 533, now pending before the Senate Labor and Welfare committee for the following reasons:
This action is to urge the passing of a bill now before the Labor and Public Welfare committee in Congress.
1. The increase in cost of living;
2. the increase in cost of books and supplies; 3. the increase in school tuition and fees; 4. shortage of part-time jobs and low pay scale, and 5. part-time jobs conflict with the number of study hours needed to successfully complete courses toward graduation.

Communism Reduces Trotsky's Crimes
MOSCOW (UP)—The meticulous revision of the history of Communism today reduced the crimes of Leon Trotsky from high treason to simple disagreement.
Trotsky, the arch enemy of the late Josef Stalin, was assassinated in Mexico in 1940 where he had fled after being exiled for being such things as a "spy," a "traitor" and an "enemy of the people."

"I am learning a lot about life as well as painting. You see I live among the poor in Mexico; maybe I am one of them." Sara W. Schroeder, 55 fine arts graduate, told the International Club Monday.
1955 KU Graduate Reports Life In Mexico Interesting
Miss Schroeder has been studying for six months at the Institute Alande at San Miguel, Mexico. She is in the United States to renew her tourist's visa and plans to return to Mexico Wednesday.
"People in a small town in Mexico have a strange idea about America. They believe Americans have a lot of money. Kids follow tourists saying 'Cinco—nickel.'
"I don't feel like a tourist now," she said, "since I know enough Spanish to get along."
Miss Schroeder said that UNESCO programs are being carried on even in the small town where she stays, and that the natives are learning how to improve their arts of weaving, pottery, and furniture making.
"I really think the International Club is very important," she said. "Maybe the American students think it is only for the foreign students but the thing is to get acquainted with each other."
