ana ijvkja, WSSF offers a world
wide program of mutual assist
ance among students according to
Barbara Swanson, education chair
man of the drive.
Belief Administered
Relief is administered on eco
nomic lines. Except where students
are physically unable to work,
money is used as capital to start
self-help enterprises, Miss Swan
son said.
In his recent evaluation of cam
pus charity drives, John Talbot,
campus public relations chairman,,
gave special consideration to
WSSF because it “is the only stu
dent to student giving in colleges.”'
Talbot reported that WSSF col
lections at Oregon had been out
standing in the nation. With an
•average yearly collection of $1800.
over the past three years, Oregon
ranked 25th out of 681 contribut
ing schools.
Drive Kept Separate
Convinced of the importance of ’
the WSSF drive, Talbot recom
mended in his report to the ASUO'
senate that the drive be kept sep
arate from any proposed campus
chest or united fund.
Special money raising projects
are now in progress and will con
tinue until the All-Campus Vod
vil Friday night at which time
the winner of the Ugly Man con
test will be announced.
Pictures of candidates submitted
by men’s living organizations are
on display at the Co-op where vot
ing will take place.
Guess The Number

test, will continue through Thurs
day. The contest's object is to
guess how many nickles are put
in the juke box in the fishobwl
of the Student Union in one week,
according to Sally Thurston’
WSSF publicity chairman.
Chances for the contest will be
on sale at the main desk of the
SU for five cents. Prizes will be
awarded at the WSSF auction
Friday at 4 p.m. in the SU.
Millrace Cleanup
Termed Success
“Quite successful” said Dave
Todd, organizer of Saturday’s Mill
race clean-up. "We didn’t have as
many people as we expected but
the work got done,” he added.
Todd estimated that 200 students
turned out for the Millrace clean
up. The 200 were divided into
nine teams with each team as
signed a specific section of the
’Race to clean.
Tex Matsler, Eugene superin
tendent of parks and playgrounds,
said Saturday afternoon that he
was surprised at the cooperation
of the students. “I’ve had perfect
cooperation from everyone, all
day,” he said.
Most of the work on the Mill
race was done before noon but a
few people worked east of the Al
der street bridge in the afternoon.
Because the area behind the
Sigma Phi Epsilon house was not
drained and could not be worked
in Saturday, Matsler said the Mill,
race would remain empty for a -
few days so this can be done. He
said all other areas were well
cleaned. 4.
