rfcooo Upcoming Show Dates Jan. 12th, March 9th prompted after the board had voted down a state bonding proposal to finance a new feature in veterans home loaning. The six-member board was called back to reconsider its vote. That's when she resigned. Dr.

Munson said. Dr. Munson said the proposal, which came from Gov. Patrick office, and eventually became law, appeared to be more concerned about the tight money in real estate than it was for housing needs. Dr.

Munson, who is a professor of history at the University of Wisconsiri-La Crosse, said Friday that citizen boards, such as the veterans affairs board, "are a farce. I have time for them." She was named to the veterans board in March 1972 by Gov. Lucey. She said she also was tired of the job" the board was getting from the office of John Moses, secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the arm-twisting Lucey aides were handing it. Aides are at odds with Moses and veterans organization.

Under those conditions feel I was serving Explaining the bonding proposal, she said the veterans were being promised a 6 or 7 per cent housing loan, but everything considered it would amount to more than 8 per cent. Under the old law the state appropriated money for loans to veterans. They could get $5,000 Dr. Vivian Munson for 3 per cent from the veterans affairs department. All of the money went back to the state, plus interest.

The latter groups do all the paper work to make money available to the veteran, and the veteran pays for all costs of the loan to include a fraction for processing. This. Dr. Munson said, hikes the loan to more than 8 per cent.

In the former program, legislative money appropriated was to be eventually paid back to the veteran. But there is no more legislative funds available, the board was told. not all rah-rah for Dr. Munson, who served in the Army Corps in Virginia and in Japan from 1950-53, said, "but the principal involved." Dr. Munson said she understand why her August resignation has been hushed.

And there were in a campaign law of Wisconsin that prohibit state employes from being politically active, specifically including faculty and classified she explained in further reasoning her resignation. members are citizens who reprsent citizen interests, and by law veterans affairs was the first duty," she added. Dr. Munson said that she found herself without enough time because of extra meetings of the board.

And there was a time factor in having to leave school. She was on a subcommittee that met on Thursday nights and every third Thursday of the month. And every third Friday morning of the month there would be a board meeting, she explained. Lucey was a member of the board, but never attended, she said. Chairman of the group is Dr.

Vernon G. Olson, Eau Claire. Moses, contacted Friday at his Madison office, said that know what she refers to as snow because the board received all reports of the veterans affairs department. were sorry to lose her. She showed real independent thinking, something we have never had Moses said, speaking for the board.
