Sixty women pepsters met Tues-

saleswomen reported ticket sales
during the early hours of the in
tensive drive. Head Coach D. X.
Bible and lettermen Franklin
Meier and Glen Skewes spoke
briefly at the pep luncheon.
Coach Bible encouraged the en
thusiastic campaigners, stressing
the fact that what the 1934 Corn
huskers lack in experience will be
made up by speed and spirit of the
student body. "The Tassels have
proven themselves dependable, they
have the spirit and enthusiasm it
takes to put the drive across," he
said.
More noon luncheon pep meet
ings will be held today and Thurs
day. Louise Hossack, Tassels pres
ident and campaign manager, pre
sided during the meetings. Other

ports indicated that a record sals
will be made, the peak of the cam
paign is not expected to be reached

the large fraternity and sorority
orders come in sales totals will
take a tremendous jump, it was
predicted.
Ann Bunting, past president of
Tassels and manager of last year's
campaign, stated yesterday after
noon that the drive compared very
well with that a year ago. "In fact
I believe that the total number of
sales will be far ahead of last year
when the campaign is ended," she
said.
Four Groups Co-operate.
Every possible effort is being
made to reach every student dur

Persian Student
Finds Official
Orders Baffling ,
Government ways and methods
are often bewildering to citizens of
all countries, but Fatullah K. Mos
tofi is convinced that Persian pro
cedures are the most baffling.
Two years ago Mostofi came
from Persia to enter the arts and
science college of the university as
a pre-med student. This fall ha en
tered Harvard medical school, only
to receive a communication from
Persian officials stating that he
was to take an education course.
After journeying to Washington,
D. C, Mostofi found that nothing
could be done about the situation
until the Persian ambassador had
communicated with the govern
ment.
Consequently Mostofi is back at
Nebraska taking a few courses in
education and wondering what will
happen next His chief difficulty,
he says, Is that about fifteen peo
ple every day ask him if he was
"booted out of Harvard."
"It's most embarrassing," stated
the tall Persian, "I find myself
stumbling with explanations all
the time and my answers seem
only to confuse me and my friends
the more."
When asked why he was obli
gated to do as his government de
manded. Mostofi explained that he
was being sent to school by the
government and would give his
services to his country when his
education was completed.
