Charity Drive to Return Seminar To 1955 Aid List

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Combined Charities Committee has restored Salzburg Seminar and the Red Feather to its list of charities.

Salzburg was dropped last fall after much protest. Red Feather has been off the list since October, 1952. Since then the Red Feather has annually conducted a write-in campaign.

David M. Dorson '56 and Edward Mr. Strasser '56, co-chairmen of the drive, explained last night that last year's criticisms of Salzburg, which caused it to be cut from the list, "were invalid or lacked sufficient merit to warrant our not recommending it."

Winant Volunteers Dropped

The Red Feather has been restored because the Committee "felt there were a large number of students, particularly non-resident graduate students and undergraduate commuters, who benefit directly or indirectly from its activities."

While adding Salzburg and Red Feather to the program, the committee dropped the Winant Volunteers Program from the list. This organization, a group of American students who spend the Summer working in London settlement houses, was dropped because of "the limited nature of its program."

Also on the Combined Charities list next spring will be Phillips Brooks House, the National Scholarship Service and Fund for Negro Students, World University Services, and the American Friends Service Committee.
