WUS Aids Students All Over The Globe
(This is another in a series on the organizations aided by the
Campus Chest.)
Last year students in Nigeria built their own campus dispensary. A girl's dorm in Athens was repaired and coal was bought to heat it during the bitter winter. The first campus TB ward was built at a Japanese college. Scholarships were provided for 302 refugee students in France.
Those were just a few of the projects aiding college students all over the world. World University Service, an organization in 38 countries, contributed to these needs.
KU students can support WUS by giving to the current Campus Chest drive. World University Service is one of the most important phases of the drive, as 40 per cent of the total collected will go to it. Until 1950 the entire Campus Chest fund was given to WUS.
The total WUS program is valued at $1,340.00 annually, and the United States is a major contributor.
Not A Handout
it isn't merely a "handout" organization. Grants are used by students to help themselves provide for their needs. WUS believes those who contribute not only help others but help themselves because an educated leadership is the cornerstone for the better future of all countries.
Even though impressive accomplishments were made by WUS last year, there are still urgent needs to be met. Medical supplies are needed for students in Greece Medical scholarships are needed in Africa, and textbooks and educational equipment are needed by Korean students. It will take at least $1,-150,000 for WUS to support the program it has outlined for 1955-56.
Some Money Used Here
Some of the money is used in this country, too. WUS has fund-raising campaigns on more than 700 campuses. These funds, while giving material assistance abroad, are also used here to develop a program of education for international understanding.
WUS believes its success has been achieved by sincerse international cooperation made possible by the genius of many craftsmen in many levels working together.
Dr. Ralph Bunche, winner of the Nobel peace prize, has said, "In their struggle upward, students everywhere need a helping hand. Their road is hard, their needs are critical. But they can count on friends. One of these friends is World University Service."
$100 For Wallpaper Design
Students at KU may have the self-satisfaction of being one of these needed friends by contributing to the Campus Chest.
Joyce Ronald, graduate student from Mitchell, S.D., has received $100 from Bassett and Vollum Inc., a wallpaper firm, for a design she submitted. Miss Ronald received the bachelor of fine arts degree from KU in 1953.
Math Colloquium Held
"Inverse Reasoning of Mathematics," was discussed by Harry Nelson, assistant instructor of mathematics, at the mathematical colloquium at 4 p.m. Wednesday in 203 Strong Hall.
Tree planting records in North Dakota for 1955 show 1,723 acres planted by the Soil Conservation Service for wild life shelter and food.
"The southern leaders are clearly determined to create a problem with the desegregation issue," Dr. Francis Heller, associate professor of political science said speaking to the Young Republicans club Tuesday.
"Unless I read the cards completely wrong, then the intensification of race agitation in the southern states, exemplified by the disorders and the mass arrests in Montgomery, Ala. . . says that the south has decided, or should I say, the Dixiecrat elements have decided they must visibly and dramatically show the two major parties they are not to be monkeyeyed with," he said.
Dr. Heller warned of continuing disturbances and possible violence growing from such things as the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott and the planned work boycott.
The present administration is positively committed in favor of desegregation, Dr. Heller said. The three Democratic presidential hopefuls have been questioned carefully about their positions on the issue, he continued. Averell Harriman favors federal enforcement and Adlai Stevenson and Estes Kefauver "straddling the fence."
Desegregation Called Hot Issue
Reviewing the history behind the desegregation order, Dr. Heller stated, "Anyone familiar with the development of the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of the United States has been able to predict for the last fifteen years that this decision was in the offiling."
"The southerners know that a fence-straddling candidate is not a good candidate," Dr. Heller said.
He also referred to "the fantastic and social waste that is involved in continuance of the bi-racial standard."
Policies of the Eisenhower administration and the so-called Nixon smear campaign will be discussed at a meeting of the Young Democrats at 7:15 p.m. today in room 305 of the Student Union. Anyone may attend the meeting.
Young Democrats To Meet Tonight
Delegates to the Young Democrats' state convention will be elected. The convention will be held March 24-25 at the Town House Hotel in Kansas City, Kan. Ex-president Harry Truman will speak. Tickets for the speech can be purchased by any student.

Library Adds Collection Of Historical Manuscript
Have you ever considered how old the printed word is?
The library is attempting a collection of historical writings in the form of recently acquired manuscripts dated from the third century B.C. to the fifteenth century A. D. The manuscripts are written in Greek, Latin, French, German, Italian, and other languages.
Among this collection is a Greek commercial document, dated approximately 350 B.C. The papyrus document, which was found in Egypt, is written in a flowing style more like a type of handwriting than printing. Millions of these manuscripts, or pieces of manuscripts, are in existence, preserved by the dry sand and temperature of Egypt.
One of the oldest of the recently-acquired manuscripts, dating around 1300, is the text of sermons by St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, in the fifth century A.D. D. The sermons were copied approximately 1000 years later on vellum (made from the lining of a sheep's stomach) in very clear handwriting. The scribe wrote on ruled lines, sometimes from dictation and sometimes copying the text.
Bookbinders of a later date seemed to use the leaves of manuscripts in which they had no interest to stiffen binding, and often used a whole leaf from a manuscript to bind a book. Countless manuscripts have been lost in this way.
One of the most beautiful manuscripts in the collection is a text of works of Martial, a Roman poet in the fifteenth century, copied and signed by the scribe, Tiraboschi.

himself a poet. Tiraboschi probably copied the book because he couldn't afford a printed edition. Oct. 19, 1470 is indicated as the date the manuscript was finished.
Joseph Rubinstein, head of the department of special collections, is in charge of the manuscripts. No immediate plans for public display of the manuscripts have been made, he said.
