The DP Drive

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

If the House Committees are successful in their current "adoption" drives, there will be sevenless displaced persons of college age in European camps by next September. The request for funds to cover the DPs' room, board, and expenses isn't just another charity solicitation. It is a unique project: those who contribute will be bringing fellow-students to Harvard and fellow-human beings to America--from a part of the world where the opportunities for study and decent living have been sparse, to put it mildly.

Provest Buck announced recently that the Administration would supply special DP scholarship aid, totalling $4200, if undergraduates raise the rest of the money. The Student Council has pledged $1000, a large slice of its annual budget. The Liberal Union has joined in, promising the full profits from one of its film showings.

This leaves about $500 per House which must be collected by May 1 to meet a deadline on legal assurance forms. If the money isn't raised by this time, the whole project will collapse.

Which leaves it clearly up to every man in every House to contribute his share.
