Cobs take over
Theater ticket
sales campaign
Failure of Tassels' drive
brings extension; Bums
wins prize for most sales
Failure of the Tassels, women's
pep organization, to bring Univer
sity Theater ticket sales up to last
year's figure may result in an ex-
"pension of the drive under the
management of Corn Cobs, men's
pep organization, Armand Hunter,
director of University Theater, an
nounced yesterday.
Natalie Burns was awarded the
grand prize of $5 for selling the
most tickets, a total of 63. Sec
ond prize was won by Maxine
Hoffman who sold 47 tickets.
850 tickets told.
Stating that only 850 tickets had
been sold in the four days of the
Tassels' drive, Hunter remarked
that this is the lowest figure in
recent years.
Unable to find any reason for
Ineffectiveness of the drive, the
director said that there was no
alternative but to have the sales
continued under a different spon
sor. With the quality of plays to
be pre3ented this year, Hunter
could see no reason why students
had failed to rally to the call of
Tassels, but hoped that greater
success would be obtained by the
Corn Cobs.

college in Beloit, Wis.
No time for play.
"The comparative relations be
tween student and instructor is
much better in America than in
Czechoslovakia," commented Mr.
Hapala. "Students in Czech uni
versities have little social oppor
tunity and thus devote more time
to studies."
Hapala comes from the central
part of Czechoslovakia known as
Moravia and now under a German
protectorate system with the prov
ince of Bohemia. His parents are
still across the ocean, and altho he
keeps a regular correspondence
wit h them, all mail service is cen
sored. Czechs admire U. S.
"Czechoslovakia has a respect
for American democracy as our
constitution is modeled on that of
the United States," revealed Hap
ala. "One never realizes the value
and importance of democracy un
til that right has been lost."
Football has been considered too
rough for Czech universities and
even the largest of universities
have very little sport activities.
Hapala has had to learn to speak
English since coming to America
two years ago. His greatest diffi
culty, he disclosed, was with
American slang.
Between the hours of 1 and 4
p. m. yesterday, girls new to the
university became acquainted with
many of the university functions
at the Activities Mart in Ellen
Smith Hall.
Large and small groups of girls
gathered in the hall, around the
exhibits and in the courts. The
steady attendance throughout the
afternoon was proof of the inter
est shown i.i the program. The
Mart was sponsored by the AWS.
In the reception room of the
hall the University Theater group
exhibited pictures of former pro
ductions such as "Dodsworth,"
"Gentle People," and "What A
Life."
Copies of both the Cornhusker
and the Awgwan were displayed
at their respective exhibits, while
girls were told about each book
and invited to come to work for
these publications.

The Tassels' exhibit was ex

American college students

they will inherit the conse

no vote does not Imply no

stressed in a letter from the
national Willkie headquarters
which was read at the meeting
Friday.
Bob Simmons told the Will

the campaign issues this year
was unprecedented. Wendell

blasphemed for criticizing the
