TASSELS SURPASS
LAST YEAR'S MARK
Thursday Noon Checkup Reveals Women Pep
Organization Has Reached 1,279 Total With Two
Days Left; Faculty Sales Show Increase.
GREEK PURCHASES BOOST ORDERS SKYWARD
George Sauer, Heye Lamhertus and Owen Rist Stress
Importance of Getting Tickets Immediately;
Sancha Kilhourne Maintains Lead.
Surpassing last, year's total sale, with two days yet to go,
Tassels' reports yesterday noon indicated that 1,279 student
athletic tickets had already been sold. To accomplish their goal
the girls' rep club must account for 800 more orders by Friday
nieht when the sale is scheduled to close, Louise llossack, presi-
dent, tola the saleswomen ai mcn
final noon luncheon.
As Tassels swing Into the last
day of their intensive pre-game
campaign they are making every
possible effort to attain their goal.
Tickets may still be purchased on
Saturday morning, but Miss Hos
sack vigorously urged that the
cardboards be ordered by Friday
night
Large orders from fraternities
and sororities Wednesday and
Thursday sent the sale total sky
ward, as the Greek letter organiza
tions planned to attend the foot
ball games en masse. Reserved
seat blocks were assigned by lot
yesterday afternoon.
At Thursday's luncheon-pep
meeting George Sauer, Heye Lam
bertus and Owen Rist stressed the
importance of getting tickets as
soon as possible. The three Husk
er athletes emphasized the fact
that the tickets include not only
football, but track, basketball and
swimming meets. Coach Schulte,
scheduled to speak, was unable to
be present. - - -
Added impetus was given the
drive Wednesday afternoon when
word that a basketball game had
been booked with Stanford univer
sity came from the offices of the
athletic director. Director John K.
Selleck pointed out that the six
dollar tickets offer the greatest
home sports program In Nebraska
history, and urged students to get
their tickets today.
Backed by Mortar Boards, Inno
cents, and Corn Cobs the drive
seemed certain to reach the goal
set by the women's pep organiza
tion. An increase in faculty tickets
of fifty percent indicates even
greater success than last year.
Tassels will meet Friday after
noon at five o'clock in Ellen Smith
Hall for a checkin of tickets sold.
Final checkup of the campaign will
not be made until some time Mon
day. Sancha Kilbourne is still leading
the sales drive with a total of 117
tickets to her credit.

When scholastic ratines for

Perhaps the outstanding feature
of Howad and Wilson halls is the
way they have cut the expenses of
girls who live there. By doing all
of their own house work except
the cooking, the girl iave cut
monthly board and f-om bills al
most in half. By dividing into
groups and taking turns at the dif

work does not interfere with their

the co-operative houses are all the

The rally will start at exactly 7

said. Since the night is closed to

will be necessary to start on time
so the demonstration can be fin
