International Student Service

So Far this year, the sum of £180 has been raised in the college towards ISS. This includes the sum of £50 which was granted by the Association from the Extrav funds. Half of the money is being seat to the University of the Punjab at Lahore. The other half goes to the Headquarters at Geneva for general relief purposes. The money is spent directly wherever students need assistance—and some of them are under conditions where even such simple things as writing paper is hard to come by.

The VUC ISS committee feels that even more assistance can be given this cause and in order to raise further funds, are organising a modified work scheme for the forthcoming vacation. In addition it is proposed to make a further collection around the college during the third term.

Many students, because there were sporting and other interests during the last Work Day, were unable to do anything.

It is now proposed to distribute forms in the college so that students will sign up to do a day, or even half a day's work during the coming two weeks recess.

The ISS committee will arrange to get suitable jobs during the vacation. Some difficulty was found last time in finding work for all the female workers offering, so that if people can find their own work, then so much the better.

Direct contributions always welcome and may be paid into the Exec office any time. .

The annual conference of the N.Z. ISS will be held in Christchurch during the vacation; Salient hopes to report some of the more important matters arising from this.
