However, she is not required to take any,

Elliott Speaks
Friday Night
In Union at 7
Rolland Elliott will speak to
morrow night at 7 p. m. in parlors
X and Y of the Union on the con
ditions in F"onA. He has just re
turned from the continent where
he traveled through Portugal and
Spain into Switzerland, returning
through Africa and South Amer
ica. Elliott will explain the type of
work done in concentration camps
by funds from college students
here raised in the WSSF drives.
This year's goal throughout the
country is $100,000 of which $750
is to be raised on the Nebraska
campus.
The money will be used in China.
Europe and for refugees in this
country to help them continue
their educations. The expense in
administrating the fund is very
little because all but three secre
taries who receive very small sal
aries are workers m other or
ganizations, such as the YWCA
and YMCA who give their time.
Elliott will answer any questions
concerning the fund and the use
made of it aftr his lecture. He
has traveled extensively and will
have valuable information for stu
dents on this campus who are
slowly becoming war oonsicous.
