Wellenstein
Tells Of Stand
Against Foes
"During the German occupa
tion, Holland expected a great
deal from her students, and they
responded fully to their country's
expectations," stated Edmund
Wellenstein, Dutch resistance
leader, at a YW-YM meeting
Thursday noon.
Mr. Wellenstein, representative
of the WSSF, went on to explain
that his" people extended special
legal and social privileges to their
University students in peacetime
and naturally expected them to be
in the forefront in the years of re
sistance to German occupation.
This they did thru ten different
Organizations, linked together
solely thru the leader of each
group for security reasons.
Smuggling:. ,
Describing his fellow's efforts,
Mr. Wellenstein told of smuggling
and hiding wanted persons, forg
ing papers, refusing co-operation
with any German order, and
printing forbidden newspapers. He
gave an indication of the danger
involved when he said that his
own student club in Delft lost
more men in occupation years
than the whole Dutch merchant
marine did in the war.
German Occupation.
In regard to the German occu
pation, Mr. Wellenstein stated that
early nazi policy in Holland was
more considerate than that of the
American armies in their move
across the country. This gentle
program was soon modified, how
ever, when the Wehrmacht was
confronted with stubborn Dutch
resistance.
Mr. Wellenstein said that he
was especially struck on entering
this country by the people's care
less, happy attitudes and the
plentiful supply of food, a sharp
contrast with the despondent fa
tigue and general malnutrition of
Europe.

THE QUARTER
HITS THELINE-1903
In that year, for the first time in college annals,
the quarter could run with the ball snapped
direct from center. Brains and speed succeeded
crude mass play, and the modern game began.
It was a popular innovation. Like Railway Ex
press round-trip service for college laundry and
baggage, the new method once tried out became
nation-wide standard practice. Make a standard
practice, too, of packing and wrapping securely,
addressing clearly and starting early whatever
you have to express. It will help all concerned.
