Fund to Educate Coming Generation of World Leaders By FLORA FURROW Representing the New York national headquarters of the World Student Service fund at the University of Oregon, Monday, was Miss Mary Robe, one of the eight traveling sec retaries of the organization. Miss Robe, a Columbia university student who has taken a semester out of her work for a doctor’s degree to promote the wssd m western colleges, is a graduate of the University of Texas. In her charming Texas drawl she told of the fund’s pur poses. Growing out of Ihe Student Re lief Work in Europe which in 1920 helped rehabilitate and educate groups of roving students sucked into the European post-war in flation, the fund will grow to eni braoe students in World War II’s nazi-occupied countries. In 1934 when the Chinese-Japan ese war broke out, the Far Eastern Student Relief fund, financed by contributions from the United States and Switzerland, kept Chi nese universities flourishing even though' they were the first insti tutions bombed by the Japanese. Although some of the Chinese uni versities have had to be moved as many as six times “keeping out of the enemy’s path” the number of ROLLER SKATING Matinees Saturday, Sunday, 30c Nights, except Monday 7:30-10:30, 40c Party Rates PARAMOUNT ROLLER RINK 25 W. 7th Phone 1789 fTonra “Casanova Brown” GARY GOOPER MCDONALD "I LOVE A SOLDIER" —plus "The Last Ride" “Last of the Duanes” —also— "His Girl Friday" students there has increased from 35.000 to 71,000 under “tremend ous hardships,’’ Miss Robe said. “They realize the importance of continuing- their education just as we do.” Now that all European students in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugo slavia, Norway, Holland, Belgium, and other occupied countries have gone into underground work, been driven from schools into labor bat talions or have refugeed to Ge neva, European higher education is at a standstill. Students among the 70.000 refugees interned in Swit zerland, however, will be enabled to continue their studies through the World Student relief. In demonstrating- the importance of the fund, Miss Robe told of the 830 Polish students in Geneva, many of whom have their A. E. degrees and who will eventually be doctors, lawyers, teachers, and oth er professional leaders. “They are the future of Poland as far as edu cation is concerned,” Miss Robe stated. “They parallelled students in all the other Nazi-ridden coun tries to be helped by the WSSF.” Two Enter Pill Palace Mary Patton and Eleanor Mer rill were admitted to the infirm ary yesterday. Taking leave of the “Pill Palace” were Wilma Wilson and Charlotte Plumber. Since the beginning- of the fall term, 36 students have been pa, tients in the infirmary.
