WSSF Money to Swell Community, War Chests By EDITH NEWTON University students will have an opportunity to aid Amer ican students and prisoners of war in all parts of the world when the World Student Service Fund drive opens on the campus next Monday, according to Martha Jane Switzer, co chairman of the drive. The WSSF is a fund-raising organization which operates primarily in the colleges and universities of the United States in Older lu raise muncy o\,\u dent war relief. Ita help goes to students and faculty who are victims of the war in all parts of the world, literature sent out by the head office of the WSSF de clares, but this year schools con tributing may designate for which cause they wish their donations to be used. Three Choices Given The three choices University students will have in giving their money will be between assistance to prisoners of war, assistance to American students in foreign countries, or to American stu dents attending school in the United States. Contributions to the WSSF will be the campus’ part in the combined Community and War Chest drive which is now taking place in Eugene. Students will not be asked to contribute to the Chest directly, the WSSF contri butions being the channel through which campus people can aid in supporting the Chest movement. ureates lenity The WSSF was the first or ganization to see the importance of meeting not only physical but also intellectual and spiritual needs of students and professors. By appealing to students to help fellow students and other young people, this specialized organiza tion builds student solidarity around the world. The work of student war relief began in 1937 when the Far East ern student service fund raised money for students in war-torn China. With the spread of war to GS! "Who Is Hope Schuyler?" starring • MARY HOWARD • JOSEPH ALLEN "The General Died at Dawn" GARY COOPER MADELINE CARROLL Europe, the European student service fund was organized early in 1940. World Fund Created Later that same year the two funds were merged into the World Student Service Fund. As the war has spread the fund has expand ed with its activity to meet needs in all parts of the world. Last year a total of $113,000 was raised by the WSSF, and since its beginning in 1938 a total of $265,000 has been contributed to the fund. The WSSF is sponsored by the United States committee of in ternational student service and the United States secions of the world’s student Christian feder ation. The latter includes the na tional intercollegiate Christian council, the student volunteer movement, the interseminary movement and the university commission of the council of church boards of education. Vondais Ravage (Continued from page one) held a house meeting, during' which the extent of the damage was determined and each man’s actions accounted for. The grand piano in the main lobby was badly damaged by the water and had to be taken apart and dried. Repairs needed to get the piano in working condition again may prove very expensive according to Mrs. Turnipseed. After several boys in the halls had written statements concern ing the evening’s events, it was generally concluded that the van dalism had been done by an or ganized group of outsiders. The halls in which furniture had been stacked against the doors had been entered and left by open windows to the outside. The full monetary extent of the damage had not been deter mined by midnight last night, but several pieces of furniture had been broken and a number of phonograph records stolen. Further investigation is being WANTED!
