AUF
ghiiiis fc
soimeir
By Polly Peterson.
We came here to talk for (no
not Joe) but fellows like Joe, one
in particular who most of us call
Bud or as he was known to his
professors, Lowell Walker. Bud
was a student like any one of us.
He was a leader on the campu3,
a Corncob, and active in campus
politics. All this was in 1941.
In 1943 Bud is also a student
but this time his address isn't
Bud Walker, student, University
of Nebraska, but Prisoner of War,
Germany. He is a student only
thrdugh the great work of the
WSSF.
The World Student Service
Fund's office received by cable
Bud's name, together with the
studies he wished to pursue. Books
in these fields, many of them col
lected in American colleges and
others purchased, were sent to Ge
neva and then on to prison camp.
A WATCHTOWER.
Gifts Help Students.
Bud is but one of more than
five million prisoners of war, most
of which are in Germany and Rus
sia. These "universities in captiv
ity," made possible by gifts from
students are really bright spots in
the gloomy picture of our war torn
world. Books are more precious
to these men than to any other
group of people. Their studies con
nect everything good and sound in
the past with their hopes and am
bitions for the future. Students in
terned in camp greatly cherish the
feeling that their fellow students
in the outside world are concerned
about them and their problem.
After reading of Bud's story, a
student from our own campus,
none of us should refuse to con
tribute to the AUF. Everyone who
contributes is buying the student's
share in the building of a better
world.
