WSSF Wants Campus Groups On Committee
Executive committee members of the World Student. Service fund passed a resolution March 19 to in-ride other campus organizations in the new W.S.S.F. executive committeet next fall. We are the
the next tail.
The resolution read: "We as the outgoing executive committee of W.S.S.F. will issue invitations to all organizations on the campus asking them to send representatives to set up a W.S.S.F. committee which will start functioning as soon as possible."
by these sponsors.
In explaining the reason for the change Miss James and Stewart said, "The World Student Service fund is a relief agency by which students contribute to give aid to needy students throughout the world. Therefore, it is only right that all campus organizations be given a chance to participate in the planning of the drive. It is also felt that broadening the committee would make for a more effective and satisfactory drive next year."
Isabel Cram, regional secretary of W.S.S.F. met with the executive committee March 19 to offer suggestion for the all-campus committee.
Members of the all-campus committee will choose from among themselves a policy-making board which in turn will elect co-chairmen for the W.S.S.F. committee. YM and YW Are Sponsors

Present sponsors of W.S.S.F. are the Y.M.C.A. W.Y.C.A. Hilda James, College junior, and Robert Hill Stewart, business senior,
present co-chairman, were selected by these sponsors.
The World Student Service fund is an outgrowth of the national war chest which began in 1941. In 1945 and 1946 the agency served as a branch of the Lawrence community chest in which half of the donations to W.S.S.F. went into the community chest. In 1947, students who contributed to W.S.S.F. could choose whether their contributions should go to the community chest or to needy students abroad.

Enough Meat, Coal; Local Dealers Say
The coal dealers in Lawrence report they have sufficient coal on hand to supply current needs and the butchers report an adequate supply of meat, but they say that "a prolonged packing strike could possibly cause a shortage."
Coal dealers report that they have received all the coal they had ordered and do not contemplate ordering any more for the present season. They could see no chance for hardship unless there is a long period of cold weather.
A survey of the grocers and meat dealers indicated that the supply is adequate at present, but that the price has increased considerably. The strike that has closed down most of the major packing firms has not affected the small independent companies. Also, one of the major packing firms, Swift and company, has not been affected by the strike
has not been injected by the owner. One meat dealer reported "there has been no run on our supplies of meat. If anything, the increased price has caused the customers to buy less."

Washington, March 22—(UP) The senate foreign relations committee today approved a bill carrying 463 million dollars in aid to China. It includes 100 million dollars which may be used for military purposes.
The house appropriations committee today voted 55 million dollars in stop-gap relief funds for France, Italy, and Austria.
The 55 million dollars was included in a 555 million,125 thousand dollar deficiency appropriation bill approved by the committee.
The money was provided to meet the "urgent needs" of the three countries pending enactment of the European Recovery program.
Biggest item in the bill was 500 million dollars for tax refund payments. The remaining $125,000 was earmarked for the relief of needy Indians.
The stop-gap funds represent the final installment in the program voted last year. Congress then authorized a total expenditure of 597 million dollars. To date only 522 million dollars has been appropriated.
"The state department advises that it is necessary to appropriate the additional amount of 55 million dollars in order to meet urgent needs between the date when the appropriation of 522 million dollars will have been exhausted, about March 25, and the date when funds will become available under the European Recovery program bill," the committee said.
The 500 million dollars for tax refunds constituted, in effect, an admission by the committee that it took too big a bite out of a requested appropriation last year.
The committee said the 55 million dollars will be offset by a reduction made in E.R.P. funds.
The treasury had asked for 2 billion, 31 million dollars to make tax refunds. The appropriations committee cut this by 800 million dollars. The treasury has insisted all along that the cut would have to be restored.
Party Chiefs Eat, Talk

Patrick H. Thiessen, chairman of the student committee, told the group that the campaign to raise money for the War Memorial will be brought to a close by commencement time.
"Organizations all over the state and alumni are being notified of these plans in order to send in late contributions," Thiessen said. A model of the memorial was exhibited at the breakfast.
Helen E. Ward, pianist, and Martha M. Weed, vocalist, entertained. Guests were L. C. Woodruff, dean of men; Willis L. Tompkins, assistant dean of men; and Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Union.
