UCLA members of the "Veterans of Future Wars," a satirical college group begun at Princeton. April 7, 1936.

Description:
Members UCLA's "post" of the "Veterans of Future Wars," dressed in World War I-era military uniforms, mug for the camera.The "Veterans of Future Wars" was a satirical organization begun by students at Princeton University. The group formed after the "Bonus Army" of World War I veterans, many of whom had become unemployed since the beginning of the Great Depression, successfully lobbied Congress to pay them the full value of their military bonuses, the sum total of which was $3.6 billion dollars, to be paid out in 1945. The Veterans of Future Wars claimed that they were likely to fight and perhaps die in the wars the United States would fight over the next 30 years, and as such should be paid their military bonuses while they were still alive to spend them. The organization became quite popular on college campuses in 1936, attracting conservative students who opposed the fiscal policies of FDR's administration, and leftist and pacifist students who saw the organization as a statement against war itself. By June of 1936, the group boasted 50,000 students on 584 campuses. The organization disbanded in April of 1937.Ironically, many of the students who belonged to the Veterans of Future Wars would serve in World War II, including all but one of its founding members at Princeton.

Description:
John Zuke Tanaka in his baseball uniform at Washington Park. Known as Zuke Tanaka as a student at Occidental College, he was the captain of the Tigers baseball team on which he played for at least 3 years and made Phi Beta Kappa. "Although the team as a whole was described as "weak hitting and fielding," shortstop Betts, pitcher Fulton, and center fielder Shizona "Zuke" Tanaka '26 were notable exceptions." (Bringing Back Bengal Baseball : A Mini History of Occidental College Baseball 1889-2014). A newspaper report attests that he was the "strong rock in the infield" and that "Last year 'Tan' played center field and his was the only playing that could be called real ball. In the infield he will be the terror of stick wielders." from "OXY OVERCOMES "JINX": Coach Clark Builds Baseball Nine That Should Show up Strong in Conference Race," Los Angeles Times, 25 Mar. 1924: B2. His name is listed as John Frederick Shizona Tanaka on his WWIII Draft Card, and as John S. Takata on the record for his relocation as a Japanese American at Gila River during WWII. His mother was Yoshi Tanaka, his brother was Frank Manaabu Tanaka and his sisters were Jeri Yuki Tanaka, and Machiko Tanaka.
