Willamette Is
Asked To Take
Russ Students

The president of the University
of California has written William
ette university asking that Will
lamette take over and support as
many as possible of the Russian
students now collected at the Uni
versity of California. The total
number gathered there is ESQ.
These students are entirely desti-
tute, being refugees from bolshe-
vik Russia, although they come
from families that were in the best
of circumstances prior to the war.
The plan of the University Of
California is to secure aid from
all of the colleges along the coast,
distribute these Russian students
as far as the colleges will accept
them and thus relieve the Califor-
mia university of attempting to
carry the entire burden. Letters
like that to Willamette have been
dispatched to the other universi-
ties. When a college guarantees
to take any such students it must
take over the support of that stu
dent. Herein lies the real prob
lem. Appeals will be made by the
various universities to the people
of the respective cities to assist in
the support of these men.
