Elizabeth von Langenn told this to students attending the All University Fund meeting Sunday Miss von Langenn is director of rt3ii!f activities of the World University Service in Germany, lire Cwumerpart of the world Student Service Fund in the U. S. She is in the U. S. to inform students of the students refugee situation in Germany and to tell them what their money is used for in Germany. "Material conditions have Im proved greatly since the war," commented Miss von Langenn, but she added that prices are still fairly high. These high prices work hardships for Ger man students who rarely re ceive more than $20 a month. Many students in Germany are given $15 a month from the German government and make extra money through part time jobs, she said. Miss von Langenn stated that many students dislike receiving! money from the government, for; r L j kl; ,n J Counny Lincoln Sur Elisabeth von Langenn they feel that "political reasons" are involved. "Political reasons" also enter into the picture concerning aid to State Speakers To Convene Dr. John Keltner, University of Oklahoma faculty member and president of the Central States Speech association, will speak at the annual meeting of the Nebras ka Speech association Saturday.

Many Eastern Berlin students need aid, but are unable to obtain it be cause of the strict restrictions im posed upon them. Miss von Langenn said that one of the biggest problems of the WUS is helping the students in Eastern Germany. She described the conditions in Eastern Berlin . as "'terrible;' "People can buy nothing, they receive a rationing card which entitles them to 2 pounds of fat a bread a week, 3 ounces of fat a week, which is usually margerine or fat, potatoes, noodles and vegetables." She added that meat can only be obtained once a month. Miss von Lanrenn said that the people in Eastern Berlin suffer as much as do the Rus sian people themselves so far as the present living conditions are concerned. Students in Eastern Germany who are caught receiving what is termed "political aid" are sub ject to arrest. Giving a piece of bread to an Eastern Berlin stu dent is considered a form of political aid. The student who received outside aid can be placed In a concentration camp for this reason alone. Miss von Langenn stated that in Eastern Germany there are more con centration camps than there were under Hitler. Many Eastern German students attempt entrance into Western Germany by the "Black Way," secretly by night. Miss von Langenn stated that gaining ad mission into Western Germany is legally impossible for an Eastern Germany student. West Gemans who wish to visit the Eastern sector must secure pass ports before they are even al lowed to cross the bodeing line. Miss von Lengenn stated that even after students have been admitted into East Germany, they must be "so careful of their activities." She added that even with a passport, students can be arrested for anything thoucht to be in any way subversive. Conditions in Western Ger many are much different than those in the Eastern sector. Miss von Langenn compared the West German conditions to those of the United States in that the people nnmA artA as tk-v-. lib--, ! ivuiu vi i iv- aim i as w v. jr iiivc. She stated that the West Ger mans had a very "nervous" feel ing. They feel as if they are liv ing between wars."

Class Filings in Oct. 17 Old Fashioned Box Supper Raises $93.90 For AUF Fund By JANE RANDALL Feature Editor When University students look back on some of the amusement ideas their parents and grand parents had, they laugh. They shouldn't One such idea, the old fashioned box lunch social, paid off for the Pi Phis and AUF. The result was $93.90. The Pi Phis, however, added a new twist. Each girl decorated a cardboard lunch box using the dominant idea on the box itself. Pill boxes, powder boxes, snuff boxes, ice boxes and sex boxes were the end product Other themes used were cigarette slogans, as "No unpleasant after taste," "It satisfies" and "It fig ures." Sky was the limit as far as paint-up, fix-up equipment goes. Crayolas. cotton, scotch tape, glue, wrapping paper and multicolored ribbons all entered into the rray. However, it came out in a variety of designs, shapes and sizes. Before the scissors had finished their job. they had produced a bird cage and a dog house to add to the collection. This done, the girls raided the kitchen.

Then they Invited the Phi ysSs ana their auctioneer Bob Bachnian to come over for sup per. A siege of wild bidding broke loose. Bobby Reynolds ended up buying not one box but three. Of course, at the time, he didn't real ize that it meant three girls he was going to be eating with. That was the catch the girls packed two of everything in each box. This meant that the boy buying a certain girl's box would share it with her. So, evidently some of the fellows didn't know that when they stocked up a reserve supply of boxed-up food. Then again, priceless were the looks on some of their faces when they discovered they had not only bought a box, but had drawn a female eating partner right along with it.
