in the legislature at Pierre before tina
body unanimously voted $55,565 for {

who are vocational students at State
college? A very interesting account
of the affair is given by the Pierre
correspondent of the Aberdeen News
1T is really an emergency meas
ure,' said Senator Erskine of Meade
county, who introduced the bill, "the
work of service men will be carried
on for perhaps the mex six or eight
years, but the building called for in
the bill will be good for thirty year
and can be used afterward.' Senator
Lunden of Brookings said he knew
conditions probably as well as anyone
in the senate and stated the buildings
viii be used as Il dormitory when the
~ex-service men are through with it.
Senator Crawford of Beadle was the
only one who said a word against the
bill. "While | am for this bill" he
said, sit looks to me as though this
is a play by the Brookings college to
pull out another building in the name
of the disabled soldiers

men use the building one year or
six years" said Senator Waddel of
Day, land | don't care whether the
college gets anything out of it or not.
When there was a war on and we
wanted these boys to go and risk their
lives we did not ask them how much
it was going to cost them
Senator Ericsson of Union, chairman
Of the appropriations committee broke
down completely when he made a plea
for the building for these disabled
men. IF you would go there and see
men wearing steel jackets TO keep
their bodies together, as I have seen
them there would not be a single uues-
ton raised against this bill. There
should not be a single vote against it."
Senator Erskine said he did not
think the Bookings people had acted
anything but free and above board on
the entire proposition. "They even
asked that the wooden structure be
erected instead of the more perma
nent one" he said.
