AVC Team to Aid Rehabilitation in Summer Project

20 Students Will Go to France Or Yugoslavia; Places Still Open for Men and Women

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Twenty selected students will travel to Europe this summer in an AVC rehabilitation unit, Richard T. Rives, Jr. '45, who is in charge of the plan, announced yesterday. The work will be done in co-operation with European student groups.

The final destination of the team is still undecided, although selection has narrowed down to two probable sites, either the University of Caen, in France, or a railway project in Yugoslavia.

Men Needed for Reconstruction

The Proctor of Caen has written saying that men are needed to aid in the reconstruction of dormitories and classrooms destroyed during the war, while the Yugoslavia project involves construction work on a railway with its terminus at Belgrade.

Rives explained that the purpose of the trip was two-fold: First, "to help in the rebuilding of a wartorn European country; and second, to bring American students in contact with European students in a common, constructive, peaceful purpose."
