For Yanks, Lilies Sports Aran Sarkissian Intends To Help The People Of Iran; Reports Agriculture Poor But Education 'Much Harder' "Are the Yankees winning?" asked Aran "Ed" Sarkissian, junior from Teheran, Iran, sud denly interrupting discussion of Iranian sports. Indicative of his wide interest in all sports. Sarkissian, who has held the University ping-pong championship crown for three years, is also a Yankee rooter. Sarkissian, a geology major, came to the United States and the University three years ago and has since monopolized ping pong titles all over the country. Winning the State championship for two years, he captured third place in the National Ping-Pong tournament in Chicago in 1951. He learned the game five years ago in Iran. TRAN HAS every kind of sport except American football," Sarkissian said. He was active in soccer, baseball, 'football and track during his high school days, but "there isn't enough time for that now," he added. Sarkissian plans to use his geology training in oil work in Iran. "They've got a lot of oil over there," he asserted with a smile. After his graduation, Sar kissian plans to get some prac tical experience in geology for one year; then perhaps go home for a few months. He will return to the United States and begin work on his Master's degree. "PERHAPS THEN I can help the people out a little. The British have kicked out so many of the capable oil men," he sajd. Sarkissian went on to discuss the economic and agricultural situation in Iran. He said that life in the capital city was very modern but throughout tfee rest of the country "it is not so good."

NEW OFFICERS elected by the twenty actives of the organi zation, are: Jack Clark, presi dent; R. Wayne Schaffer, vice president; Ron Scheerer, secre tary and Ardell Sieck, treasurer. Active for many years as a veteran's chapter, the Delta Pi's passed out of existence a short time ago. Until this local burst of interest, the name of Delta Alpha Pi had all but vanished. It is hoped by the Nebraska group that the reincarnation of spirit in the chapter of Delta Alpha Pi will mushroom into similar enthusiasm throughout the country. HOWEVER, THE local group will merge nationally only if the national organization would adopt the Constitution of the Lincoln chapter. Foremost in these precepts are the aims of pursuing higher education and, in turn, using these objectives and injecting them into terms of both personal and social life. The main criterion for pros pective members is that they have at one time served on ac tive duty with the Armed Forces of the United States, and hold an Honorable Discharge or Release from Active Duty without prej udice from one of the Armed Services.

He explained that there is no middle class in Iran. There are only the high and the low classes. "Nothing is bought on credit; and if you cannot afford it for cash, you can not buy it," Sarkissian said. EDUCATION IN Iran, how ever, is on a very high level, ac cording to Sarkissian.
