The campaign for official solic-

March 31st through April 9th.
The appeal will be directed to-
ward Jewish students and men,
bers of the faculty. Appropria-
tons will be petitioned from the
University Campus Chest, which
is now conducting an overall
campus charity drive. The VI.
S. A. will solicit funds from Jew
ish students and forego its an
nual campus-wide appeal.
However, the U. J. S. A. will
acquaint all students with the
international problem of dis
placed persons in Europe, in or
der to create a feeling of respon-
sibility of Americans toward
the needy of the world. All will
be asked to contribute to the
United Jewish Appeal, whose
goal this year is $250,0OO,000. The
three agencies that will benefit
from the appeal include the Ser
vice for New Americans, which
is non-sectarian, and brings ref
ugees to this country and assists
them in obtaining home and
employment. The Joint Distri-
button Committee assists the
European DPS and those living
in cities and farms away from
the Displaced Persons Camps.
The J.D.C. is also in charge OF
the rehabilitation and transpor-
