WSSF Brings Aid to Students In Greece Through Field Oftice By Sully Thurston Needs among the students of Greece remain many and greut In spile of the fact that the civil war is over and conditions are becom ing more stabilized. At this stage it is still essential to maintain a World Student Ser vice Fund field office in Greece for the present time, no alternative means of carrying out a program in this country has been found. In the isolated situation of Greek students, field delegates form a positive link between them and the outside world and are able to stimulate a two-way flow of ideas and information. The presence of field delegates also stimulates fund-raising in Greece for Greek students from both governmental und private sources. Valuable Effect One of the most valuable effects of the presence of field delegates has been the resulting "extra budgetary” giving, especially in "gifts In kind," to an extent which more than doubles the budget al location of WSSJ'\ The field delegates during the past year, have established con tacts with the university' people both in Athens und Salonika and they hope to establish a Greek committee in the not too distant future. Emphasis Is on Material Aid This year, the principle em phasis in the field of material aid will be put on the granting of fi etc t952... Lowest priced in its field!

The economic situation In Greece makes the distribution of food and clothiriR still an Important meant of assistance and these goods are usually provided by Rifts In kind. In addition, the scholarship scheme remains the most import ant and significant project now operating in Greece. It hus the effect also, of being of consider able self-help value In Inspiring assisted students to find other sources of Income to enable them to continue their studies. Academic Merit Among Needy More than 100 students were helped in the first nine months of the financial year 1950-51. Se lection Is made on the basis of academic merit among needy stu ' dents by a special scholarship corn-^ mittee.

TheL I’nlv entity of Oregon has always^ heen responsive to this opportunity, of aiding in the building of nation- ( allty, race nr creed.

All the hostels are badly in nee f t of help, especially the men's hos-pl tela in Athens and Salonika. They, are lacking such basis things ns furniture and bed linen. And. in f some cases, even chairs and tables ? for study rooms are required. i What WSSF Can Do A good example of what WSFF ° can do to ease the hostel situation fc‘ is the case of the university girls' hostel in Athens. Late In 1950 the hostel was in a£' financial crisis. At this time theF' WSSF field office arranged for® a supply of coal for the winter. It also arranged to provide the hostel ® with powdered milk, sugar and * cocoa to enable the hostel to serve ^ breakfasts, and they were encour aged to make this a cooperative ^ endeavor. Now the field delegate is seek- * ing to arange for the electrifica tion of the hostel kitchen to facil itate the preparation of the break fasts, and it is later hoped that alll^ Lhe meals will be able to be pre pared in this way. This will alsor^ enable the hostel to have cheaper? eloctricity for all purposes. TB Kate High One of the effects of war andLj, deprivation in Greece has been tiia t.H high rate of tuberculosis.
