WSSF Aid May Provide Schooling for Evacuees

Japanese students who have been evacuated inland may be able to continue their educations through the aid of the World Student Service fund, it was announced yesterday. A poll taken at a meeting of 150 American-born Japanese students at Eagleson hall indicated that such help would sorely be needed.
The survey revealed that 78% of the students would be free to continue their college education, but only 25% said they would have adequate funds to do so. With supplementary funds to help them, 70% believed that they would be able to continue their disrupted educations.
Five hundred sixty dollars raised in the February WSSF drive will be used for its original purpose — European and Chinese student relief. But permission was obtained last quarter from New York WSSF headquarters to use any further money raised for this new and immediate need.
Although the majority of students at the meeting Saturday did not know what college they would like to attend, several mentioned the University of Minnesota, with Washington State, University of Michigan, University of Chicago, and the University of Idaho preferred in the order named.
