Meredith Contributes
To W.IJ.S. Drive
Meredith students took part in
the World University Service Drive
the week of March 7-13. Organized
in 1920 as the European Student
Relief, its purpose was to meet ur
gent material needs among univer
sity students caused by the First
World War. The slogan adopted
was, “They would care if they knew,
and know they shall.” Assistance to
students and universities was on
sound economic basis. Aid was pro
vided without discrimination on
grounds of race, creed, or nation
ality. The only requirements for aid
within the students were ability and
proven need. Black, white, religious,
agnostic, friends, enemies were in
spired to work shoulder to shoulder.
After the war assistance was pro
vided for economic disaster, earth
quakes, war. During the war it cared
for student prisoners of war
and refugees, supplied books and
food, and rebuilt war-torn universi
ties. Recently the main interest has
been on Southern Asia, the Far East
and the Middle East. W. U. S. is
sponsored by such organizations as
International Union of Students,
World Union of Jewish Students,
Pax Romana, and World Student
Christian Federation. It is the only
organization which appeals only to
students and faculty to aid other stu
dents and faculty. W. U. S. works
in the fields of student living quar-

Suzanne Davis Is
Off to Switzerland
It seems as if, just about this time
in every spring term, people start
looking forward to summer vacation
and talking about all the exciting
things they’re planning; but so far,
the most exciting plans are those of
Suzanne Davis. She’s off to Switzer
land!
Suzanne will be a delegate for
the International Farm Youth Ex
change programs, sponsored by the
National 4-H Foundation. Six stu
dents—four boys, Suzie, and an
other girl — will represent North
Carolina in this exchange of ideas.
The plan is for each of the students
to live with a farm family (Suzie
thinks hers will probably speak
French), in order to share ideas and
thoughts, to understand and to ap
preciate the two countries and their
customs.
The group will sail from Quebec
June 18 and will return to the States
November 10, having had a weeks’
orientation program in Washington,
D. C. Suzanne tells us that, once in
Switzerland, she is expected to take
part in as many forms of activities
as possible. Her major problem now
is to learn how to milk!

tries.
