Greek Student Needs
Told By King Bradow
World University Service is the
only organization of its kind as it
operates on a non-political, non
sectarian, non-partisan basis as
opposed to International Student
Relief, a Communist studnt or
ganization, a WUS representa
tive told a Nebraskan' reporter Mo
day.
King Bradow, WUS field dele
gate and traveling secretary, vis
ited the University campus this
week as a part of his national
trip to "report to WUS and other
interested groups the conditions
of students in Greece." His visit
to the campus was sponsored by
the All University Fund.
WUS Groups Organized
WUS sent Bradow to Greece
where he has been working for the
past two years. He was in charge
of organizing WUS committees in
the seven Universities of Greece
and administering aid to students.
Almost all Greek students are
housed inadequately, Bradow said,
and the problem of adjustment to
school is very great without ade
quate housing. The adjustment
problem is increased by the fact
that Greek universities have no
such offices as the dean of stu
dent affairs or the dean of men,
he said.
Aid Distributed
Bradow told of the food, drugs
and scholarship funds which WUS
distributed in Greece. WUS is one
of the food distributing agencies
of official United States Govern
ment distribution lists, he said.

he interviewed by Student Council
and Friday from 12:30 to 12:50
a.m. in Union Room 305.
Not more than nine members
will be chosen for the committee
with the number equally propor
tioned between seniors, juniors and
sophomores. Student Council
members will not be interviewed,
although they may serve on the
whole committee (not more than
one-third of the committee mem
bers being on the Council, howev
er), Jack Rogers, president of the
Council said.
All University Fund
WUS Benefits Given
To Foreign
Twenty cents of each All Uni
versity Fund dollar will be chan
neled to World University Service.
World University Service, or
WUS, is entirely student supported
and administers aid to universi
ties and colleges 'in foreign coun
tries. A program of education is
carried out in the United States
and the University is one of those
schools which was recently chosen
to participate in an educational
project.
WUS aid goes, for the most part,
to help students in their naive
lands so that they may lead their
countries in the future. This inter
national service organization is
one of the few charities which has
been approved by President Ei
senhower, who saw the work of
WUS in his trip to Korea.
Students Receive Aid
Twenty per cent of the contri
butions received by AUF will be
given to WUS. This money will be
used for food, clothing, medical
care, books, rehabilitation cen
ters and student housing.
"The University of Nebraska
through AUF," Phyllis Colbert,
AUF president, said, "is recog
nized as one of the leading sup
porters of the World University
program."
Miss Colbert pointed out that
WUS is entirely student supported
and depends upon 600 American
and foreign universities and col
leges for aid. "AUF recognizes the
value of education in the develop
ment of world peace and under
standing," she said.
Five per cent of the AUF returns
Funds are made available to
students who need money to pay
for examinations or purchase their
diplomas, he said. Students must
pay for each examination they
take if they are to receive credit
and they must also pay fees of up
to $100 for their diplomas before
they can actually graduate from
the university they have attended,
Bradow explained.
A WUS project in many foreign
lands, Bradow said, is to mimeo
graph texts and lectures for stu
dents at a far cheaper price than
they could be purchased, if they
could be found. This is the only
way many students are able to get
hold of any kind of printed ma
terial 'Meet These Needs'
Bradow said the purpose of WUS
is, "to provide an organized at
tempt on the part of students and
professors from all over the world
to find out the needs of students,
and through WUS to attempt to
meet these needs."
WUS has committees in 30 coun
tries and its main offices are in
Geneva, Switzerland, he said. Last
year a million and a half dollars
were spent in WUS aid, but that
is a "mere drop in the bucket
compared to the need that exists,"
he said.
WUS has organizations on 700
campuses in the United States and
is attempting to raise $600,000 in
this country this year. WUS is
represented on the University ram
us by AUF.

baccalaureate degree," Diestel
said. "In the past, cadets who had
completed '20 credit hours had

"Cadets who intend to remain
at the University in order to com

"This money," Carl Mammel, AUF
treasurer said, "is used for pub
licity, campaign materials and
correspondence, however, the full
amount has never been used and a
large portion of the total goes into
an emergency fund."
AUF's drive will be carried on
from October 5 through October
21, a period of two and a half
weeks. The campaign will consist
of independent, fraternity, sorority,
organized houses, and religious
group solicitation. University fac

Pact To Begin In 90 Days
The recent nine-power pact ending the occupation of Germany
and providing for German rearmament is' expected to be in full

Desegregation Demonstrations Break Out
Protests against desegregation measures in the nation's schools
reached Baltimore Monday as 2000 white students stormed the
City Hall. Before attacking the City Hall, the students marched
through Baltimore, streets shouting anti-Negro sentiments.
Also on Monday, peaceful but noisy demonstrations against white
and Negro co-education broke out in the nation's capital. Students
demonstrated at two high schools.
Earlier this year. President Eisenhower expressed the hop
that Washington schools would serve as a model for the nation in
showing that Negroes and whites could go to school together peacefully.
Republicans Call For Ike
Republican party leaders, concerned over the G.OJVs chances
for continued control of Congress, are calling for President Eisen
hower to speak out vigorously and more often in the election cam
paign. House Republican Leader Halleck (R-Ind) told reporters Sunday
that he didn't think the Republicans were getting across "just how
good our program is."
However, Leonard W. Hall, Republican National Chairman, said
reports reaching his headquarters indicate the Republicans are "firmly
on the high road to a win next month."

A loot-loose python named Peie returned Sunday to hi Ft.
Worth, Tex., home Sunday after a 15-day absence. He appeared at
the Forst Park Zoo about 4 a.m. to the accompaniment of bowling
and screaming from the other animals.
Ft. Worth went wild with joy at the return of the hero, but
Pete was noncommittal as to the whereabouts of his wanderings. He
was even a bit peeved at the festivities and bit his keeper on the
right thumb while being treated for a "canker mouth."
Pete's owner wasn't sure at first just whose snake it was, but
when the snake turned to look at him, be knew it was Pete.
