W.S.S.F. Dri Will Contac Drive Will Begin At First Of Week Lumpkin And Strickland Directors Of Commitee 'The students of Carolina will be contacted next Tuesday and Wed nesday by members of the commit tee conducting a drive for the World Student Service Fund. The drive, under the direction of Alva Lumpkin and Leona Strick land is part of a national drive launched in all colleges to obtain money to carry out projects of in ternational scope. Mr. Bell, faculty chairman of the campaign, states that the students contributed over $400 dollars to the fund last year. The nioney is used in part to sup port the organization's work with allied war prisoners held in German territory. Explained Mr. Bell, "Germany permits the World Student Service Fund to aid allied prisoners because we are doing the same thing for their prisoners in Canada and else where. Recreational, entertain ment and education are provided for the men held in German prison camps by the organization's branch in Geneva, Switzerland who are working with the money supplied by American college students. "The 'Brass Nose' college, with a faculty including sonic of the 230 professors contacted in the prison camps, is a typical example of the work of the World Student Service Fund. It is actually a college or ganized in a prison camp, and the University of Switzerland grants these men credit toward their de gree." A portion of the money con tributed by -tidents will be used in a fund for student relief of Chinese students, as the National Student Relief Committee is also playing an important role in keeping the uni versities of China active. The work of the student service committee will be discussed by Dr. Loh at chapel next Tuesday after which the members of the commit tee will assemble at a Flinn Hall luncheon for first instructions be fore the drive.

A letter from the Navy Department in Washington to the Commandant of Cadets told of the classification of the NROTC Ca (lets. Although on active duty, they will continue their NROTC training as they are at present until they have completed their advanced course. While on active duty they will re ceive the pay and allowances of an apprentice seaman. "No provisions of this letter are to be construed as affecting the present members of the NROTC, as regards their curriculum or length of training. They will re ceive the same instruction as orig inally planned on the accelerated schedule," a spokesman for the of fice said. An accellerated program which the Navy has labeled as the Navy College Program is expected to be placed in effect approximately July 1. As presently planned, this con templates the continued existence of the NROTC in substantially the same manner as at present. It is believed that present staffs and fa cilities are adequate to administer and handle any changes which may be brought about through the opera tion of the Navy College Program. NROTC cadets who graduate be I fore the program is begun will be commissioned as Ensigns in the United States Naval Reserve. Those who sever their connections with Itheir college before July 1 wi11 be discharged from the Naval Reserve, or at their own request, be orderedi to active duty in an enlisted status& Cadets maintaining their connection, 'in good standing, but (1o not grad iate before July 1, will be trans ferred to Class V-12 as apprentice seamen. The spokesman, in interpretating the letter as applied to the local unit, said that the outstanding change would be in the discipline of the men. lie said that the ac celerated program included physical training as well as practical naval science and scholarship. The tien will receive the same pay, allow ances, and medlical service, as all other applrentice seamen class \'- 12 on active dluty.
