Students Plan Red Cross War Relief Drive
An emergency war relief drive for the Red Cross, a project separate from the recent annual peacetime membership campaign, is being planned, E. C. Buehler, chairman, announced today.
A meeting of students was held this afternoon in Green hall to organize the student branch of the drive which will begin after, the Christmas holidays.
The faculty and the city of Lawrence are also organizing campaigns. The faculty is having its drive before the holidays, and Lawrence will conduct its drive between Christmas and New Year's Day.
Of the total funds raised 85 per cent will go to the national chapter of the Red Cross and 15 per cent will go to the local chapter for the production of garments, bandages, and necessary first aid equipment for soldiers.
The questionnaires seek information on the major the student is following, what his draft classification is, and the number of school year he will have completed at the end of the current school year.
Buchler stated that these drives are war relief measures and that the money contributed will go for soldier hospitalization.
Members of the student committee and the organizations they represent are Dave Watermulder, president of M.S.C., Doris Twente, president of the W.S.G.A.; Roy Edwards, president of KuKu's; Genevieve Harman, president of Jay Janes; Mary Gene Hull, president of I.S.A.; Sue Johnston, president of Pan-Hellenic Council; Dave Prager, president of Inter-Fraternity Council; and Stan Stauffer, publisher of the Daily Kansan.

The group planned to set up a permanent committee and chairman to direct the student drive.
Of approximately 1,000 students enrolled in the University who are registered for selective service about 800 are on the Hill, 200 more are in the medical school in Kansas City.
