'"I" i! '197 71,1** 7 7 -rl 7 r -. ii -, Annual WSSF Drive To Be Held for Week Campaign Will Open lomorrow To Collect FI dls for Student Aid The World Student Service Fund, which operates primarily in colleges and universities of the United States to raise money for student war relief, will open its annual weekly drive to- morrow. . Supported primarily by students, faculty, and educational organiza- tions, this fund helps students and professors of thirteen nations, in- cluding China, Russia, Australia, un- occupied France, Spain, Greece'and India. "This year we hope to raise $2,000 from the University campus," Bar- bara Smith, '44, chairman of the drive, said yesterday. The national goal has been tripled to $300,000.1 In former years student relief has been divided between food grants, work relief, necessities grants, travel aid, winter clothing and scholarships. The work in Europe is carried on almost entirely in prison, refugee, and internment camps. All money collected in the United States is cabled to Geneva, Switzerland, where it is distributed by the European Stu- dent Relief Fund. The campus drive will be carried on especially among church groups, dormitories, cooperatives, sororities., and at the League and Union. The WSSF is sponsored by the United States Committee of the International Student Service and the United States section of the World's Student Christian Federa- tion. A.A.U.W. Awar Given 1o Professor A new and outstanding honor in the field of scholarship, the $2,500 Achievement Award of the American Association of University Women, was conferred yesterday upon Dr. Florence Siebert, Associate Professor of the Phipps Institute in Philadel- phia, distinguished bio-chemist in- ternationally famous in tuberculosis research. For many years, the A.A.U.W. has been making annual awards which have usually gone to younger women scholars to help them launch their studies.The Association hadlong hoped that it might be possible to set up an award, larger in monetary value, which would recognize not only promise but mature achieve- ment. This has been made possible through a fund raised by the North- west Central Region of the Associa- tion and to which the local branch of the A.A.U.W. contributed. Only 45, Dr. Siebert has already received many awards for her work on tuberculosis, and the new award is for the continuation of her studies.

Chmndler, .By HOWARD BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor DETROIT, April 13.- The exis-' tence of vitamin-savers, substances in food which help to store or use vitamins in the body, was reported to the American Chemical Society here today. The evidence of this newly found diet factor came from 'experiments on rats, and was described by Augus- ta B. McCoord, C.P. Katsampes, B.P. Farber and A. M. Brooks of the Strong Memorial Hospital, Univer- sity of Rochester, N.Y. They studied the effects of food on the vitamin A in the liver. In men and animals vitamin A goes first to the liver and thence out through the body. The liver also builds up a store of this vitamin. Eighty young rats were fed the same amounts of vitamin A. But half of them were given a diet defi- cient in one of the essential proteins, an acid called tryptophane. When. the animals died, those lacking this protein acid had only half as much vitamin A in their livers as the other rats. Apparently much of the vita- min had been destroyed due to lack of the acid. Humans get their tryptophane from meat, eggs, milk, cheese and other proteins. Liver is especially rich in this protein. The experimentors concluded that Speech31 Finals Won by Ace Cory Ace Corey, '45, won the Speech 31 final contest yesterday afternoon in the Natural Science Auditorium. Corey's topic was "Matt Mann of Michigan." Betty Nitchun, '43, placed second with a speech on "A Lang- uage Within a Language." Other finalists were John Shock- ley, '46, Eleanor Webber, '45, Charles Mock, '45, Joan Selmier, '45, and Charles Adams, '44. Harold Cooper, '44, the winner of the Speech 32 con- test held last week, was chairman of the event. Judges were Dr. Arthur Secord, Prof. Ollie L. Backus, and Prof. David Owen, all of the University speech department. SUICIDE SITUATION LANSING, April 13.- (/P)- An at- tempt to commit suicide is not a crime in Michigan, and the law pro- vides no punishment for it, Attorney General Herbert J. Rushton held in an opinion today. adequate proteins should be supplied to men and animals to spare the; vitamin A stores of the body. Tryptcphane is one of -more -than 20 of the acids wich body chemistry, extracts from protein food to form tissues. These acids are the princi- pal building substance of tissues. Other experimentors have shown that lack of adequate tryptophane in animals causes one form of cataract of the eyes. The Rochester experimentors re- ported also evidence that vitamin A is essential for combatting whooping cough. Again working on rats, they inoculated the animals with whoop- ing cough infection. All the rats got whooping cough. But half of them died and the other half lived. Those -which lived were rats that had received adequate vitamin A from their infancy. None of the dead rats had bien given ade- quate vitamin A, and not one with this deficiency survived.
