Donations, Contributions Add to $5OOO Hetzel Fund .A husband's love, donations by grateful beneficiaries, and con tributions from interested . friends and organizations have resulted in building up the $5OOO Estelle H. Hetzel Fund for Emergencies. This fund, which specializes in small loans for a short period of time, has been in operation since 1940. Sums from $5 to $25 have been loaned without interest for such things as broken glasses, emer gency trips home, or other small financial crises. Most loans are re paid within a month Idea for the Fund was conceiv of the College in 'the Fall of 1939. One evening she was confronted with a problem of a student who was eating inadequately and in frequently while waiting to start a job. Knowing he would not take money, she then realized the ad vantages of a short term, emer gency loan fund for students. A short time previously Mrs. Hetzel had learned of such a plan started by a Stanford University Mothers' Club. A personal contribution and those of several interested friends were soon increased by donations from the WSGA Christmas money of 1939. Since then other campus organizations have contributed. In addition, interested individuals, such as one member• of the Board of Trustees who had benefited from a similar , plan in his college days, have added to the Fund. The most recent and, perhaps, most outstanding contribution has been derived from the late Presi dent Ralph D. HetzePs estate. Proxy's Estate Several years ago Prexy stipu lated in his will that the differ ence between the total fund and $5OOO should be made up out •of his estate. He never realized how the fund would grow so that only $304 would be needed to make that sum. This gesture of love and re spect for his wife and her dream is but another of the many for which Prexy will always be re vered. Eight Years of Operation In the eight years since March 20, 1940, when the first loan check was issued, 1147 loans have been made. In monetary terms $12,575 has been loaned. According to Mrs. Hetzel every dollar has been used five times. Since the war the majority of users of the Fund have been vet erans who may borrow if subsis tence or p6nsion checks are late and money is needed quickly. Of course, any student—graduate as well as undergraduate—may use the fund. Applications for the loans are presented to Bursar Russell E. Clark, administrator of the Fund. Usually a note - from the Dean of Men, Dean of Women, School Dean, faculty advisor, or Veterans' Counsellor accompanies the appli cation. Loans Confidential The student must present cir cumstances behind the necessity of the loan, estimate of sum need ed, and plans for repayment. All facts pertaining to the loan are held in strict confidence. A promissory note recordin plan and time of repayment is exchanged for a check. No en dorsements are required and there is no interest on the loan. Many grateful beneficiaries have volun tarily paid interest. Through the efforts of President Hetzel the student loan fund was made an official trust fund of the College in 1944. He felt that its perpetuity wauld be insured by making the College corporation the trustee. With its invaluable aid to stu dents who often run into brief, but drastic, financial difficulties, the Estelle W. Hetzel Fund for Emer gencies has in the past and will often in the future attract respect "TELL THEM 111 A SORORITY HOUSE. THEY'LL MAKE BETTER TIME.
