Sarah Webb’s Address Telis
WSSF Need For Funds
“It is-hard for many of the students of America to realize
that there are people actually dependent upon them for an edu
cation,” Sarah Webb, national representative of the World
Student Service fund, told the second all-campus assembly of
the year, held yesterday. "The only means by which intellectua.l
relief can be given them is through the WSSF,” she added.
The assembly, marked the official opening of the World

terested in art to -take advan
tage of the school's facilities on

Traveling Student Speech Group
fbheduled for Organization
Organization of a student speakers’ bureau, designed for
those students who wish to speak on their favorite topics be
fore audiences in western Oregon, has been planned this year
by^the University speech and dramatic arts division. The or
ganization will be completed as soon as there are enough stu
dents to carry out the program, Professor W. A. Dahlberg, di
rector of the bureau, said Wednesday.
"Many students come to the
campus each year with a wealth
of information and experience in
special fields, such as art, music,
business, sports, and are highly
interested and anxious to speak
on these subjects.
Special Interests
“To give these students an op
portunity to speak and be heard
in their fields of special interest
and to give audiences a chance
to profit by such a program is
tha reason for the speakers’ bu
reau,” Dahlberg^aid.
“The subjects will be as varied
and as many as the speakers who
sign up for the activity,” he add
ed.
When a request for a particu
lar speaker's program is re
ceived, the student in question is
provided with transportation, by
bus or train, meals, and a hotel
room.
Anyone who is interested is
asked to contact Mr. Dahlberg in
room 107 Friendly where arrange
ments will be made to schedule
faking dates.
Programs such as this have
been in operation at many uni
versities and colleges throughout
the United States, Mr. Dahlberg
said, and have done much to
stimulate both student and pub
lic interest in effective speaking.
Piggers Rejoice!
Student Guide
Near Distribution
It’s up to the printers now. All
information for the Piggers’
Guide has been compiled, and the
editing work has been completed.
Copy and layouts are now at the
University press and the printers
are working to get the publishing
completed.
The date of distribution has
not yet been announced, but will
be in the near future.
The student directory, pub
lished annually, contains the
name of every student, his ad
dress, year, major, home address,
and telephone number. All liv
ing organizations, offices, and
faculty names and addresses are
also listed.
The special section for this
year will be for the soldiers and
will list all army personnel, per
tinent information regarding
them, and will attempt to ex
plain Oregon traditions to the
khaki-clad portion of the student
body. A brief picture of the cam
pus will also be included.

on the campus. Nancy Ames,
ASUO president, introduced the
speaker.
Miss Webb, who is an active
worker in national religious and
philosophic movements, described
the deplorable conditions of edu
cation in China today. “Only one
out of every thousand manages
to gain an adequate education
and the only places where the
Chinese student is able to read
and study are the foreign cen
ters in the different cities,'' she
stated. These are founded and
maintained by student donations
which are needed now more than
ever.
She also mentioned that the
Greek students, the majority of
whom suffer from tuberculosis,
are able to survive only through
the funds cabled them by the
fund association.
She quoted a prisoner war com
mander who wrote to her as fol
lows: “We can feed our men and
we can clothe them, but we can
not keep them from going in
sane,” and the intellectual relief
which the WSSF provides is for
that purpose.
Dime Diggers
Donate Dough
Better known as “dime-digging
dinners,” the weekly war stamp
drive in civilian living organiza
tions has resulted in a novel type
dinner entertainment and defin

of living organizations partici
pating in the plan contribute ten
cents for a war stamp before be
ing admitted to dinner one night
each week.
“In this way more war stamps
are bought, and they are bought
regularly,” says Beverly Padg
ham, chairman of the drive.
Prizes awarded at dinners were
won by Bette Davis of Alpha Del
ta Pi, Esther Paronen at High
land house, and Joan Dolph at
the Chi Omega house. Delta Del
ta Delta house has had two
drives, with Barbara Taylor and
Signe Eklund winning the prizes.
Peggy Klepper received the prize
