WSSF Needs Your Dollars In view of the tremendously in creasing needs for world student relief, the World Student Service fund has set the national goal of $500,000 for 1944-45.

WSSF comes close to home when we realize that twenty former University of Oregon students arc prisoners of war in Europe. Work ing through the Red Cross, the WSSF has been able to help them as well as the thousands of other student prioners by sending them books, study materials, food, cloth ing, and medical supplies. What Your Money Will Do: $1 -will supply the notebooks and paper required by a prison er of war for six months. (Please turn to page four) the solicitor’s dinner last night.
