'RES NON, VERBES'
WITH MINGLED joy and giatitude,.the Col
legian greets the 'initial response to the Refugee
Aid campaign now undo way here—a icampaign
which aims to pimide fro some deserving student.
in students the oppmtunity of a College education
Purely a non-pal bean, non-sectarian and volun
tary undertaking, toe campaign here is similar to
many othep-, now icing carried on in different
colleges thintighoul the nation
Despite intimations like the one ancluded.in the
letter box today, the campaign is not merely Sem
itic in "origination and accomplishment" It in
cludes Catholics, Piolestants, ilew—members ,of
every faith in fact, of the 15 members of the local
committee, only two al e Jewish It, is, thus, defin
itely non-sectarian
That religion or race should enter into any
undei taking—especially in an Institution such as
this—is indeed a sad commentary upon our
educational system and the future of our cher
ished democracy. For if we are to have freer
dom of religion in America, what difference does
it make to what religious beliefs a parson sub
scribes?
AS FOR TIM funds which will be iollret«I,
they will he held locally to establigh as many ,chol
al ;hips as poa , dhle, depending, of cow se, upon the
toollei atom of Collar author Lies and local ha
lm nitie,,
If this roopeiatwi is not fottlicoming, then the
money will be given to the International Student,
Set me, a non-pal !icon, non-sectarian organiza
tion with headqualb - ss in New York City—with
;this one piovisn Teat the money be equally dis-
II bated between refugees of all , faiths—Cat
Jews, Pt otestants, die
Ir no case wil la scholarship be given to any
_ refugee until the committee here passes upon his
qualifications. Documented records of the ref.
ugee's previous educational standing will be re
quired. What's more, no refugee will be brought
here from any foreign nation Every scholarship
— will be presented to a refugee already here in
America
BUT, SOMEBODY, SAYS, "have we lost sight
of the plight of mu awn people lime in the United
States to the extent that we must rush pell-mell
into some cchemc t' nose the amount of money
it would take to bring one refugee here to school'?"
No, the Collegian ephes Definitely not.
For, despite the fact lithe campaign is aimed
pi nom ily to supply on educational oppoitunity to
desei clog refugee, it is in fact something greaten
than that
It I s the consummation of American tolerance,
the personification of American democracy, the
repudiation of the persecution of any human he
mg, regardless of race, creed or color
We have—all of us—pald plenty of lip-i,ervice
to American Wei ante, American democracy, Am
i mean freedom
We have—all of us—paid plenty of hp•service
to our feelingaf good neighboihness and our love
for the under dog ..-
Pei haps, for a chonge, we should practice what
we pie u h A.t least, it won't hurt uf..to-lik
DIVIDED AGAINST
OURSELVES
OUR CAMPUS is divaled into two factions with
a wide gap of inditTeience between On one side
loom the "ogres" mil the "wolves" that form the
faculty; on the nth(' slouch the apparently un
ambitious students
Why must have than. gap° Faculty members
would lose then "ogi e-like" characteristics on ac
quaintance, students would come out of their
apathy if they thought anyone was interested
And once the gap wzs bridged the mutual benefits
~.would, more than compensate for,the trouble
Custom has deo eed that all extra-class contacts
stadenia'srek with then superiors can be,judged
as having one puipi;g 7 yrnote.honorpamts on the
'Winettes; grade:: slir*:`.§4,,stodents avoid their
I . l;;lThrl4'rers<Ts - thiiiy,i4yteld AMC o'ciocks; no onr
the friendship, advice, and
acqUaintance of faculty members to broaden and
make practicable their learning, professors need
to understand students In order to adapt aqd im
prove'methods of instruction,
- ' - The, present impeisonal attitude' leads not ,to

Last summer the National
Health Conference was called in

menial ICominittee to Coordinate
Health and Welfare Activities ap
pointed three veal.; agd by Pres
ident Roosevelt Undo the able
chaitmanship of M 19.9 Josephine
Roche, the connuiteee made an ex
tensive survey of health needs
throughout the tountiy and at all
income levels The lepoit of Miss
Roche's committee was subinitted
to the National' Health Confer
ence, including representatives: of
the medical piofesston, of gov
ernment and public health de
partments, of label, faint and
consumer groups and of univei
gam, and civic organizations,
This committee reported- some
startling facts fo the conference.
It found that among families on re
lief .. acute Illness is 47% more
prevalent and chronic illness 87%
more prevalent than among fami
lies with incomes of S3OOO or more
Non relief families with incomes
of less than 81000 have twice the
rate of'disability of families in the
hither income group No physi
cians' care,is reZeived in 30% of,
serious disabling illnesses among
relief families and in 28% of such
illnesses in families Just above the
relief level. -The death rate among
,infants -in ,families with incomes
of less than $5OO was more than
five times the death rate among
infants in'families with incomes'of
83000,0 r more.
Forty million Americans are ei
ther recipients of public. assistance
or have incomes so low that they
cannot purchase medical care , '
A:tei a summaiy of the com
mittee's most important findings
had been piesented a delegate
lose to ask "Can anyone chal
lenge the figures on medical need
that have'been piesented bele"
A silence of a minute and a half
ensued; the committee's data
went unchallenged
On the basis of the committee's
mina it was recommended that
the most messing needs foi public
health, maternal and child serv
ices, inciensed hospital facilities
and medical care foi the medical
ly needy lie provided through an
expendituie of a maximum of
$850,000,000;about half of which
Shooed be met by the fecleial-gov
ei nrrent The committee ,also
recommended that a comprehen
sive program be adopted to m
elange and improve medical serv
ices for the entire population to
be financed by taxation or insm
once or both Finally, it was pro
posed that some kind of insurance,
against loss of wages dui ing
nes.; be provided, possibly along
the lines of our present unemploy

These recommendations of the
Interdepartmental Committee / de
‘eme the most serious considera

ca any longer to ignore the health,
of those-Who will inevitably guide
its destinies tomoi row.:
The facts disclosed by the com

nation's' health has balanced the
pyramid of our social welfare up-,
on its,apex It is well known that,
