All University Fund to Solicit
$2 Donations From Students
(See picture at right) I given directly to the students but
uetting students to see what is given in the form of supplies
meaicai ana material aid. Some-
the World Student Service Fund
actually does is as important as
getting them to contribute," Beth
Noerenberg, All University Fund
director, emphasized at a recent
meeting of the AUF planning
committee.
"The student body must be
aware of the fact that the United
Slates is only one of many coun
tries supporting world student
relief, and that students in Swe
den and England, for example,
are asked to give more than twice
the amount for which U. N.
students will be solicited." To
meet the campus goal of $13,200,
two dollars will be asked of each
student. However, any amount
will gladly be accepted, Miss
Noerenberg stated.
Keep in Mind.
Instructing members of the
comittee as to what they should
have well in mind, she outlined
the organizational setup for dis
tribution of funds in foreign
countries. "The World Student
- Relief has reliable, agents in the
different localities,' each with a
committee comprised of local cm
zens, to help with the administra
thing else which should be
stressed is that the students re
ceiving such aid give service in
return, if it is at all possible for
them to do so. So, you see, it
isn't just handed them on a silver
platter."
Miss Noerenberg concluded her
informal talk on the grave note
that "if we don't get aid to these
countries within the next few
months, 400,000 students will be
forced to give up their educa
tional pursuits."
The All University Fund drive
will open officially November 3
and will close pn the eighth.
