$300 Is Goal
This Year
ofW.S.S.F.
"The money that students in
Europe receive is the money that
the student in America wishes to
give," is. the slogan of the World
Student Service Fund drive which
goes into its .final three days this
morning to reach the $300 goal.
Captain Gaston A. Vandermeeh-
ssche of Ghent, Belgium, member
of the underground and prisoner
of war for four years,- spoke to students last Tuesday afternoon, relating Ins own personal experiences
and the experiences of others- in
the war and urging whole-hearted
support' of the W. S. S. P. /
He explained the part of the students of America in "teaching the
Ways of peace and cooperation in
the world. Most people think of reeducation as meaning only of Germans. This is not true, for people
in all the war-torn countries need
to be re-educated."
Using examples especially from
his native country, Belgium, he depicted such problems as that of
teaching children not to steal and
not to lie after their own'parents
had taught them the opposite
while living under the Germans.
Pleading for "goodwill, not charity," Captain Vandermeehssche gave
many examples of the need of the
students of Europe and Asia. He
stated that in many universities in
Europe there is only one notebook
for twenty students:
Captain Vandermeehssche scorned the use of words and speeches
as aid for the needy peoples of the
world; he showed how much more
effective a piece of chocolate, a
pair of shoestrings, or a bar of soap
would prove.
Students of Europe and Asia are
returning to their studies, ill-fed,
poorly clothed, homeless, and sick.
The job which the W. S. S. P. will
perform is to .minister to the needs
and to give'direct relief to those
students.
Oneita Chisholm, Saginaw sophomore, is chairman of the drive.
