Representative, Speaks At Chapel Miss Alicia Coffin, traveling secretary of the World Student Fund, will speak at the chapel exercises, Friday, November 24. The W. S. S. F. has been active for seven years. Through this student relief nearly $700,000 has been raised. West Georgia contri buted last year, and another ap peal will be made sometime this term. It is especially significant this year because of its withdrawal from the National War Fund. Now the responsibility for stu ent relief rests squarely on the shoulders of American students and professors who see the ne cessity of helping their colleau gues in other lands. This with drawal from the National War Fund has occured after a trial year as a participation service mainly because the N. W. F. is a temporary organization which will not last after the war, whereas W. S. S. Fs. biggest job will be in the six or eight years ahead. With the unusually good rec ord of American student-giving in 1943-44 to inspire them, the W. S. S. F. General Committee has set a goal of $500,000 for 1944-1945. y OFFICERS CLUB MAKES PLANS The frist meeting of the Of ficers Club was held in the auditorium last Thursday.
