S. S. F. Drive The World Student Service Fund drive has opened on this campus, as on college campuses all over the world. The purpose is to raise funds and collect goods to send to students of 17 countries. These students, victims of World War II, have been evacuated from their camps; their homes have been den olished; and their educations have been seriously impaired. This world-wide drive for student relief is not a new undertaking. Its roots lie in a similar organization, founded at the close of World War I, known as European Student Relief. Money was raised in American colleges in the name of the Student Friendship fund. Between 1920 and '25 university life in Europe was revived and students were again able to pursue their studies. The second World War began in China and several of her larger universities were immediately and deliberately bombed. The need for student relief was evident. So in 1837 the Far Eastern Relief fund was undertaken nationally. This fund, and the European Student Relief fund, which was revived in 1940, merged in 1941 into the World Student Service fund. Now government agencies have made vast plans involving huge sums of money for food, clothing, housing, and medical care of all war refugees. But the World Student Relief organization has the specific task of bringing the needs of the university group to the attention of the government agencies. It will also act as an agency for the distribution of paper, books, food, clothing, and equipment for libraries and laboratories. The future welfare of our nation, as well as the warragged countries, depends upon trained leadership in all nations. These students, scattered all over the globe, must be given the opportunity to achieve higher education. A generation is at stake—the student generation. And it must be prepared to face the tasks of today and tomorrow with confidence.—L. C. A 12-weeks semester for civilians will begin with the two navy terms in November, and again the administration resolutely faces the housing problem. Perhaps K.U. should follow the example set by the University of Missouri, and purchase some trailers. Rock Chalk Talk By JOAN HARRIS Man about town—When "Mrs. Chancellor" was in Independence last week she attended a K.U. alumni party. In the midst of the tea and crumpets the proud but puzzled parent of a sophisticated frat man on Mt. Oread stepped up to Mrs. Malott with the query, "Can you tell me if my boy is studying at school the way he should this semester?" He sent for his dress suit last week." "Little Mouse" squeaks—It seems that Eddie Brunk became all hot and bothered several days when Psi brother "Little Mouse" Johnson called up and challenged him to a fight in front of Ad. The boys had just played off a hot game on the football field and Eddie was posing as a member of the rival (and barely beaten) team. Rime of the Modern Mariner—In the words of Joan Power, Alpha Chi sister Rachel was drinking Speaking of Psis, the gay gang descended on the Chi O house while the gals were involved in a volley ball game Wednesday night and nailed shut all the doors of the—er—modern conveniences. Chi O's evened the score by redecorating the Psi front room. enough water to sink a sailor Saturday at evening chow. When, for the umpteenth time, Rach called for more, Nancy Parshall and Mary Rosenau decided to do something about the situation, which explains why poor Rach poured a pair of pretty goldfish into her empty glass, probably. *** Something new has been added—When Albert Stafuss hit town last month he had never had a date in his life—he still hasn't" "Gurls are glomps," according to Sir Strafuss and he proved it not so long ago when a couple of well-meaning Alpha O's called Carruth to invite him on a tour of the campus. Albert replied that he hadn't been formally introduced to them and besides, his mother wouldn't like it. * * Mental telepathy—It had been a tough quiz in Bio-chem and Mary Breed, Pi Phi, was somewhat unhappy with the mark she had made I'm so thin I could spm. sesz se. Dewey Nemec, lab instructor, proceeded to assign experiment 25 for the next period—a problem on saliva and digestion for which each member of the class must contribute 25 cc of saliva (polite way of putting what Mary said she could do).
