WSSF Buys Food And Books For Less Fortunate Students
(This is the first of a series of articles on member agencies of the Campus Chest.)
The World Student Service fun is the only nationally organized channel for student-to-student giving.
Together with 22 other national committees, WSSF supports the World University service, an international welfare organization.
The actual services of the organization include helping universities to meet their basic needs and to become the centers of national and international life.
The WSSF is sponsored by the United Student Christian council (which includes the Protestant denominational student groups and the student divisions of the YMCA and YWCA), the B'nai Brith Hillel foundations, the Newman Club federation and the National Student association.
The purposes of the WSSF are to enable students:

2. To work and be able to meet the physical and intellectual demands of modern civilization. People need adequate health services. Drugs and medical equipment will be sent to Yugoslavia and Greece.
3. To learn. Books and laboratory equipment are scarce in many university communities. In the new universities of Sarajevo and Skolpje, Yugoslavia, study is being delayed for lack of measuring instruments, slide rules and microscopes.
4. To know others, in a mutual relationship of understanding and concern. World University service provides for students to have conferences and seminars to discuss common university problems.
5. To care and to share in a world program of mutual assistance. WSFSF is the student channel for emergency material relief, educational reconstruction, and international understanding.
