WUS Announces Plans
Students and staff in need in 33
countries received assistance through
the 1964 International Program of
Action of World University Service.
WUS, working in over sixty coun
tries, promotes self-help projects or
ganized by students and staff for
students and staff in need. It meets
the most urgent material and educa
tional problems facing the world
university community. It is a non
political organization. Its activities
are carried out on a basis of total
non-discrimination of race, creed,
sex, economic or social condition.
The income for WUS programs
comes from 32 National Committees,
Foundations, and other organizations.
Much of the assistance WUS brings
to higher education comes not in the
form of cash, but as gifts in kindness.
Also each year WUS sponsors stu
dent work camps in different areas
of the world as part of the self-help
program. Last year a St. Mary’s stu
dent, Ginny Willets, took part in a
WUS work project in Japan.
For the summer of 1965 WUS is
sponsoring a work camp in Korea.
The project will be to demolish an
existing outdated WUS building,
begin excavation for a new Student
Center, and to assist in various com
munity services including teaching
English. The students will complete
as much of the Initial work on the
WUS Student Center as possible.
This endeavor will be a cooperative
effort by students from several coun
tries working with Korean students.
The work camp is designed to permit
Asian and American students to
know one another better. Learning
to appreciate other cultures will be
effected through discussions, lectures,
and working together as well as
through cooperative living.
Students will leave from the West
Coast no later than July 3. The work
camp period will be from July 20 to
August 26. The work camp group
will be international in character
with participants coming from sev
eral countries including 20 to 25
from the United States. Applicants
must return to college in the fall of
1965. They must also have the emo
tional maturity and physical ability
to withstand the rigors of travel and
manual work, an interest in world
affairs, the ability to adjust to group
living, and the willingness to relate
their experiences to other students
upon their return. Applications may
be obtained from the WUS regional
office at 41 Exchange Place, Atlanta,
Georgia. Completed forms must be
mailed by March 31. Students se
lected will be notified in early April.
The fee for this program is $890
which includes meals, lodging, and
travel.

Sigma-Mu Basketballers Active
Last Monday afternoon, March
15, the combined Sigma-Mu basket
ball team played at Peace College.
Although having lead by a substan
tial margin at half time, the St.
Mary’s team was down by one point
when the game ended, 39-38. The
top scores for St. Mary’s were Carol
Wilson with eleven points and Ebby
Schmulling with ten points. Peace
was led by Ann Douglas with a total
of seventeen points.
The following Wednesday, March
17, St. Mary’s met Meredith’s basket
ball team which it had previously de
feated by a sound margin. Meredith
was anxious to win the rematch and
led for the majority of the game. The
St. Mary’s team was not to be de
feated, however, as some key shots
carried the team to a victory 37 to
35. Ebby Schmulling was the leading
score for St. Mary’s while Beverly
Scarborough led Meredith.
Playing on the home court, St.
Mary’s again met Peace College,
Monday March 22. This time, how
ever, the Peacee team was not vic
torious as a determined team effort
carried St. Mary’s ahead by as many
as twenty-three points. The final
score, 53-43, was closer than the ac
tual game in which every member
of the combined Sigma-Mu team saw
action. In fact the last quarter was
played almost entirely by the substi
tutes. The high scorer for this game
was Bobby Woodall for St. Mary’s.
Another game in the Sigma-Mu
tournament was played Wednesday
afternoon, March 24, with the Mus
coming out victorious. The final
score was 31 to 30. Fligh scorers
were Carol Wilson and Neil Parker
for the Mus and Ebby Schmulling
for the Sigmas. This victory necessi
tates a play-off between the Sigmas
and Mus for the championship on
Monday, March 29, at 4:00 p.m. in
the gymnasium.
