Hetzei Loans
Aid Students
Because it is of the students
and for the students, the Estelle
H. Hetzet Fund for Emergenci.:s
has prospered and made it pos,i
ble for 978 students to borrow
small amounts of money for a
short period of time to tide them
over a crisis.. .A 'total of $10,473
has been loaned. Every penny of
this has been promptly repaid,
Mrs. 'Ralph D. Hetzel announced.
The Fund had Its beginning in
the days of NYA and other relief
programs Because small amounts,
averaging $lO can' , he iborrowed
without interest over a short time,
the (fund caught the ;fancy of the
students at the time of its incep
tion.
"Since then it has grown
through contrioutions of students,
alumni, and campus organiza
tions," Mrs. Hetzel said. "There
has never (been 'any soliciting for
money."
During the war, the Emergency
Fund 'has aided the war-student
groups. The Curtiss-Wright and
Hamilton-Standard "lady engin
eers" have benefited from it and
now the returning veterans are
Using its facilities.
"The Fund has made it possi
ble for a number of students who
have no other source of income
to attend school until delayed
'subsistence and pension checks
arrive," stated Robert E. Gal
braith, Faculty Advisor for War
Service. "Part of 'the (benefit of
the loan is that the transaction is
simple and entails little red tape.
The fact that the students are re
paying their loans as soon as their
checks arrive shows that they ap=
predate their responsibility."
Of the 86 loans made from Itie
fund during the last 'seven
months, 80 of them have been
made to veterans.
The idea for the emergency
fund was conceived when a stu
dent called on Mrs. Hetzel in the
fall of 1939. •
"During the . evening ,1 discov
ered that he would have -a job
soon," she said, "but in the mean
time he was living on one meal a
day. -Knowing he would not ac
cept money as a -gift, I thoug!it
there should be a fund to grant
small loans to tide students over
emergencies."
Mrs. Hetzel had recently read
of a group of women at Stanford
University who had organized
such a loan and so she went to
the women student leaders and
her idea for the fund was incor
porated into the 1939 WSGA
Christmas drive.
