Foreign Schools Need Help, WSSFTold
Dean Paul B. Lawson and three exchange students spoke at the first meeting of the World Student Service fund last night. Thirty-five representatives of sororities, fraternities, and organized residence halls were present.
The students are Chi Chien Chow, sophomore, Kweiwang, China; Aldo Aliotti, senior, of Saife, island of Rhodes; and T. N. Zutshi, freshman, of Bihar, India. All are in the Engineering school.
"The purpose of the organization is to help students in other countries which do not have the privileges which we enjoy," said Hilda James and Robert Stewart, co-chairmen. "We are planning a two-week campaign starting Oct. 21." Students Only Hope
Students Only Hope
"The schools of Europe and Asia are in desparate straits. The students are subsisting on an insufficient diet and are poorly housed and fed. It is our duty to help them. If we do not, no one else will."
Dean Lawson said that "the students of today are the only hope we have of future improvement.
Chi Chien Chow, who has been in America for the past two years, said that education is China's only hope of recovery.
"Even though the government has built over 150 universities, the conditions are dreadful. There is a great shortage of books. If you have any used books, on any subject, please send them to a Chinese university."
Stresses Need Of Education
Zutshi, a graduate of Benares High university, in Northern India, stressed the need of education to protect his country's newly-gained freedom.
"Our greatest misery was removed when we became independent. We will become increasingly independent as our schools increase. Meanwhile, there is a shortage of everything and we appreciate anything that you send to us."
Aliotti, who spent three years at a university in Rome, told of the war-torn condition of Europe. Persons studying medicine or engineering which require daily attendance, must work at night so that they may eat, he said.
"The United States can no longer stand alone in the world," he added. "Anything which you do now to aid the students of Europe will be repaid a hundred-fold by the good will created in the leaders of tomorrow."
'Efficient Organization'
Frances Jean Francisco, College senior who went to Italy in 1946 to see W.S.S.F. in action, declared, "It is an efficient organization and every penny that is donated is put to the best use. It is sponsored by the three major religious groups, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish; the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A.
Representatives present were Marie Jackson, Virginia Shimer Colleen Helmberger, Anna Prettyman, Eleanor Campbell, John Hinde, Don Hylan, Bob McEvers, Dale Cope, Marilyn Rust, Matt Zimmerman, Mane Deane Smith, Ralph Brock, Norma Kennedy, Glen E Varenhorst, Wil贝 Beeson, Evarenhorst, Nancy Willie Rose Walz, Andree Bliszt, Fitzroy Laughlin, Art Riordan, William Mitchell, Russell Mammel, Bob Boese, Margaret Meeks, Carol Buereer, Zelinda Higgenbottom, Shirley Wellborn, Nancy Smith, Martina Robinson, Marybeth Rae, and Ed Cleshay.
ICC Judge Dismisses
Charges Against Dr. Allen
Judge Earle W. Frost dismissed a chance of carless driving against Dr. Fench Allen. University basketball on Thursday afternoon in Kansas City.
Dr. Allen's car struck Frank Benz, Kansas City, at Eighth street and Crand avenue Saturday night. Benz was fined $1 on a charge of careless walking.
Student Cars Damaged As Brakes Fail To Hold
Emergency brakes on a 1936 Chevrolet sedan owned by Herbert A. Cies, senior in the College, failed to hold this morning and Cies's car rolled into 1940 Studebaker owned by Leo M. Newton, College sophomore, at the corner of Edgehill road and 16th street. The grill on Cies's car, and the right rear fender and exhaust pipe on Newton's car, were damaged.
Fellowship Group Invites Students
Harold D. Anderson, College junior, welcomed all students to attend future meetings of the University of Kansas Christian fellowship at a meeting of the group Thursday.
"There are students on the campus who do not bother to worry whether or not democracy and Christianity are practiced. We are going to present Christ to the people who are here and make the gospel known," he said.
"Regardless of race, color, or creed,
the U.K.C.F. welcomes any person
who wishes to worship here. There
are no squabbles over seating
arrangements. A seat is a seat, and
who occupies it is not important.
The important thing is that every
seat is filled."
Meetings will be held at 7 p.m on Thursdays in Danford chapel.
Herriott Says-
(continued from page one)
cents; gasoline bill, $100.36 at filling station. Are these legitimate Bird business?
None of these listed are Bitter Bird debts nor are they in Bitter Bird name, but they are mine and arrangements have been made regarding them.
5. Report says total amount received from advertising through business office is $831.80. Ruth Clayton says she was to get 10 per cent of total amount sold. She has received $141.01 and was supposed to get $33 more on last issue totaling $171.01. Is this true?
Total amount advertising unknown to me. Clayton paid on her statement. Her commission progressive rate, ten to 25 per cent of advertising depending on amount she sold.
6. Reports says this amount, $171.01 is 10 per cent of $1.710 which is $878.20 more than total receipts for advertising handled through business office. Some of $878.20 may have been paid on bills without going through business office or some may be uncollected, but this is missing on business office statement. Is this true?
9. Heard you were here in summer making arrangements to pay debts. Did you or do you plan to pay later?
Many Bitter Bird advertising bills could not be collected because one advertiser claims someone already collected and two refused to pay because did not contract for firm out of business. Many bills paid not through business office.
7. If so, how much uncollected?
The unknown as I cannot locate states.
Only Bitter Bird debt to my knowledge is to Journal-World. I am paying not what I promised that I would be responsible when we first started printing.
8. What will you do about situation?
What situation?
10. Have you told business office you will pay?
March.1946.
12. Did Clayton ever make out any checks for Bird or did you handle that? Savs she had nothing to do with checks or handling any money through business office. Is that true? Did you handle all business of Bird?
She made out no cheeks to my knowledge. She was not supposed to make any collections. I am personally responsible.
yes.
KFKU Promises New Programs, Better Quality

Rebuild Europe By 'Middle Way' Lecturer Says
The United States must support European countries by the "middle way" to rehabilitation, if Europe is to be saved from communism. Martin Hall, University speaker, said Thursday.
More Than Two Solutions
In an address on "Can We Avert the Crisis in Europe", Mr. Hall, national lecturer and educator, told his impressions of a three months European tour from which he returned Tuesday.
"Most Americans consider Europe in relation to the conflict between two forces with the solution of her problems lying with one or the other. Actually there are three solutions. The third one is the kind England is seeking, and it is not patterned on either the American way or the Russian way.
"Either the third alternative will be worked out in Europe, or else we will have a communist Europe. It makes no difference if we like that sort of thing or not. As far as Europe is concerned free enterprise is gone and gone for good," he said. Czechs Still United
In Prague Mr. Hall found that the Czechs had come out of the war with their national unity intact.
"Perhaps most surprising to people in America is that political democracy in the western sense of the word is just as intact in Czechoslovakia as it ever was. They have kept democratic conditions alive, and, unless I am mistaken, will keep it alive.
"The World Youth festival had been going on in Prague for six weeks with 40,000 foreign delegates and 60,000 Czechs participating.
U. S. Sends Only 120
"France, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand were all well represented, but the United States had only the pitiful representation of 120 delegates.
"It is one of the saddest remarks on our policy that we did not take advantage of this opportunity to make invaluable contacts and to correct misconceptions about the United States.
"At first the state department thought it was a good idea, but eight days before the delegates were to sail, it decided that American youth should not be exposed to leftist contacts at the festival. There must be something wrong, if our ideas can't stand up to theirs. I believe they can," Mr. Hall said.
