Nelson Speaks For WSSF Prison Fare Tonight
"Not simply to provide funds for food and clothing, but to save student leadership is the ultimate goal of the World's Student Service Fund," said Claude Nelson, national director of the fund, today.
"For instance," he said, "there are 2,000,000 French prisoners in France, who fought for their country, and who are now in enforced idleness. As yet, their morale is unbroken. But the effect of months and perhaps."
years of such idleness will result in a breakdown in morale, which would permanently affect the vigor of the nation and race."
In Europe 12 Years
Having resided in Europe for the past 12 years, Mr. Nelson is in a position to make authoritative statements. "The worst kind of living conditions comprise the environment of the Spanish refugees in southern France. Any completely successful moral and physical rebuilding among these people is impossible. Our aim is to at least remove a part of the degeneration and apathy apparent in their lives."
The W. S. S. F. executive first traveled to England as a Rhodes scolar. He spent two and a half years in Switzerland, seven years in Rome, seven months in Russia during the World War, and has made several trips to France, Germany, and other European countries.
Money contributed to the Fund will be used to provide study, recreational, and worship facilities for the refugee students. Since he left New York, Mr. Nelson has visited 5 campuses to explain the purpose of the Fund. He will speak tonight at the Prison Fare banquet in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
1,000 Attend Lorenzo Fuller Senior Recital
BY NADINE HUNT
It was a fortunate decision to hold the voice recital of Lorenzo Fuller, fine arts senior, in Hoch auditorium Sunday or many of the audience might have been left standing in the rain.
A crowd of at least a thousand persons, by far the largest audience to hear a Senior recital this spring, applauded and praised the work of the young Negro singer.
Fuller presented a program varying from the masterpieces of Italian, German, French and English composers to a group of popular Negro spirituals.
Although many numbers could be singled out as particularly outstanding, "The Gallant Captain" and "Non Piu Andrai" from Mozart were unusually effective. "O Liebliche Wangen" and "Sehnsucht" by Brahms as well as "Ich Grolle Nicht" by Schumann and "Erlkoenig" by Schubert also found favor with the audience.
The second group from the French school included "Le Cor" (Flegier), "Apres un Reve" (Faure), and "Ja'ai pleure en Reve" (Hue).
One of the largest ovations was given to Fuller's rendition of "Song of the Flea," a Russian number by Moussourgsky in English words. A second Russian number with English text which Fuller used was "My Native Land" by Gretchaninoff.
Most popular with the audience was the final group of negro spirituals. "Water Boy," always a favorite, was the outstanding number, but was followed closely by "Hold On." "Talk About a Child That Do Love Jesus," and "My Soul's Been Anclofied in the Lord."
