PBH Starts New Hunt for Clothes, Texts Next Week

Every man in the University will be canvassed next week by Phillips Brooks House workers looking for clothing for the Salzburg Student Rest Center and textbooks to enrich the PBH loan library.

Volunteers in each entry will knock on doors, while in Radcliffe the Community Service Committee solicits Annex students. PBH's Law School Committee is setting up four special collection depots.

All clothing will go to the Student Council-sponsored Rest Center at Salzburg, Austria, which late last month sent out an urgent appeal for wearing apparel of all kinds.

Director's Pica

In an appeal received by drive chairman Anthony Oettinger '51, the Rest Center's director Kingsley Ervin, Jr. '45, said, "The young women students here work miraculous transformations with old and ragged things. I cannot overemphasize that anything is useful, but the greatest need is for shoes, overcoats, scarves, sweaters, trousers, and women's dresses."

For the book drive, PBH wants all kinds of University texts for its loan library, which rents out books to needy students for 25 cents a term.

The drive got off to a head start two weeks ago when Oettinger and Betty K. Beaton '51 collected a big bulk of clothing and books from Harvard and Radcliffe midyear graduates.
