Plight of Foreign Students
Told by Rome Professor
FkOM CZECHOSLOVAKIA TO MEN'S DORM That's the story of
Paul Dzavik (left) of Bratcslava, Czechoslovakia, first exchange stu
dent in the university's history. Shown in his room in the new men's
domitory, Dzavik, explains the exchange program to Daily Nebraskan
special features editor Sam Warren in a recent Interview. A graudate
student in economics, Dazvik was "exchanged" for UN graduate Mar
cclla Slajchort, now studying at the University of Prague. Here on
the first of five exchange scholarships established by the Board of
Regents, he receives from the university his room at the domitory,

The World Student Service
Fund is practically the only hope
for many European students to
day." Miss Angiola Siracusa, Uni
versity of Rome law professor said
Monday to more than 300 univer
sity, students attending an AUF
"Starvation Luncheon in the
Union ballroom.
Miss Siracusa. at present travel
ing throughout the United States
for WSSF, is a student of labor
problems at the New York School
of Social Work. She told her
audience that her first contact
with WSSF, came during the war
when she served with the anti
fascist University Partisan Brigade.
Immediately following the end
of hostilities, the Italian professor
said that she had an opportuntiy
to travel through much of war-
desolated Europe and commented
that she could not impress upon
her audience the importance of
immediate aid to European stu
dents "whose plight is impossible
for American college students to
imagine."
Citing specific examples of stu
dent hardships, Miss Siracusa told
of third year medical students in
Greece who have never seen a
nficroscope and young men and
women attending the University
of Krakow in Poland who must
rely on a single mime-graph
machine for information oa scien
tific developments. Sha added
that this mimeo had been obtained
by the WSSF.
When questioned on the present
fascist tendencies of students in
her homeland. Miss Siracusa an
swered that this was one of the
biggest challenges facing Ameri
can men and women. She said
that many Italian youths of uni
versity age have never known
anything but a fascist philosophy.
From their earliest memories, they
can recall nothing but government
propaganda, saturating their lives
and their text-books, and she con
cluded by pointing out that WSSF
contributions will aid in replen
ishing libraries with books that
have been banned for many years.
The attractive 25 year old Ital
ian professor spoke movingly of
the percentage of E-ropean stu
dents, "just like yourselves," who
have developed advance cases of
tuberculosis and must exist on
me scant meal a day, despite their
ill-health.
At the sacrifice of other citizens
of Italy, the government has al
loted -extra rations to university
students, but Miss Siracusa said
that a majority of them would
rather stop going to school than
take food from the young or the
acred. Again she commented that
WSSF funds could furnish stop
gap aid to Insure the continued
attendance of Italian students,
who, la turn, may some day rep
resent one of the democray's best
investments.
