'World Students Need Help'
States WSSF Secretary
"Chinese students have no fun
and no luxuries compared with
students in the United States," de
clared Dr. Liu Liang-mo, travel
ing secretary of the World Stu
dent Service Fund.
Dr. Liu came from the national
office in New York and will travel
to other miawestern universities
to tell of the need of Chinese
students for food, clothing, hous
ing and books.
Chinese girls regard lipstick as
a great luxury, according to Dr.
Liu. "When students don't have
enough money to buy books or
three meals a day, they don't
think of buying anything like lip
stick." .Currency Has Little Value
Speaking of money, he said that
Chinese currency is of so little
value that pockets are not big
enough to carry it. The people
carry it in baskets and sacks. One
U. S. dollar is worth 12,000,000
Chinese dollars.
The main emphasis of student
relief in China i3 on work proj
ects by which the students help
themselves. Students make pea
nut butter and soybean milk to be
served to the entire student body
in Chinese universities. These stu
dents are very undernourished and ,

Would-be "migrationers" are
warned that tickets for the
Nebraska-K. U. game are go
ing: fast. The first tickets sold
are for the best seats available,
and" the sooner students pur
chase them in the Union lobby,
the better their chances to see
the Huskers battle from a good
vantage.
The $13 tickets provide a
round-trip ticket to Lawrence
as well as a seat at the game.

ference of Rural Youth, Oct. 14

Books are very expensive, so
the World Student Service Fund
buys a few copies of the books
and then students mimeograph
copies. One-third of the courses
are studied in English, which is
a required foreign language.
Students Question American
Policies
Answering questions on the po
litical thinking of Chinese stu
dents, Dr. Liu said that the stu
dents ask American visitors "Why
is America helping Chang Kai
shek?" and "Why is America re
building a militarized Japan?"
The Chinese students appreciate
U. S. help, but would rather H
didn't have any political strings
attached. Most of these students
also believe that Japan might as
well have won the war because
the U. S. is demanding that China
export raw materials to Japan,
just as Japan herself did.
Dr. Liu, who has been in the
United States for four years, is
from Shanghai, China. He worked
for the student division of the
YM in China for ten years.
There are about 100,000 students
in colleges in China. This number
is so small because of the high
cost of getting an education .
