The January issue of Social Forces, sociological periodical compiled by the sociology de partment of the University, made its appearance during the Christmas holidays.

In stead of the barren atmosphere or be-bannered surroundings generally found in students rooms, he beheld a chamber un like any he had ever seen. A rich silk drape extended over the doorway; each of the closets were covered with similar ma terial; the radiator was com pletely concealed by a beautiful ly colored runner; and the" walls were adorned with equally hand some tapestries and hangings. This exotic habitat is that of two Persian brothers who have recently enrolled as freshmen at the University. The decora tions and adornments of their room they brought with them from their native city of Tabriz which they left many months ago to continue their studies in this country. Abul Hassan Khan Fetoohy is planning to study medicine, while his brother Abul Foyl Khan Fetoohy is taking up electrical engineering. Thoroughly Trained They received their previous training at elementary Persian schools and at an American jun ior college in Tabriz. Here they met P. L. Irwin, who graduated from this University in 1926. Teaching mathematics and Eng lish at the American school, he became interested in the bro thers and when they began to tiiink of foreign study he nat urally suggested his alma mater. An older brother of theirs is now studying at Purdue. Their wmmwm to mm STUDY Dean Bradshaw Recommends Serious Application to Studies During Winter Quarter. Dean F. F. Bradshaw, in an address to the freshman class during the regular chapel period yesterday morning, made a plea to the members of the class to begin the new quarter's work immediately. After extending New Year's greetings to the class, Dean Bradshaw told of the experi ences of the board of faculty members which decide whether a student who has not passed the required amount of work is eligible to return to the Univer sity for the next quarter. Pitiful Alibis When a student is summoned before the board, Dean Brad shaw stated, some of the alibis offered are rather pitiful, such as: sinus trouble, girl-sick, un der unusual mental stress, fi nancial worries; sick, but did not go to the infirmary, and many others of a trivial nature. Dean Bradshaw urged all members of the class not to be summoned before the board on account of the mutual agony that would be spared both the student and the board. "Do not shoot for one D but for a real, self -satisfying quar ter's work, and you will not have to worry. Take charge of yourself and start to go some where under your own steam for the sake of your life and career 20 years from now. Se lect a line of education, then go after it," he said. father holds the position of a baron in Persia, whence comes the title Khan. As Irwin ex plained, both boys have the title in their name, for, unlike Oc cidental nobility, Persia passes titles on to the children regard less of their number. The form er teacher also remarked that the young students come from one of the very best families In the kingdom and that their fa ther is a prominent landowner and manufacturer as well as be ing a member of the King's parliament. Sitting informally on their beds, which they have covered with handsome Persian rugs,! the Fetoohy brothers talked calmly and critically of their long trip from Tabriz to Chapel Hill. Paris, they said, was "hate ful." They attributed their dis appointment with the French capital to their lack of fluency with the language of the coun try. Also, "it was hard hot be ing able to see the sun but once in eight days. Too much fog was in Paris. But we liked the Opera and the night life. The streets, however, were much too narrow and cramped." Pleased with America The excellent English which both command aided in render ing New York, much more en joyable. Here they were prop erly impressed with the sky scrapers, subways, and other Manhattan marvels. Of particu lar Interest was their trip to the Radio City Music hall where (Continued on page Uso) LoalNRAHedd Says Student Cleaners Do Not Violate Code THREE LECTURES ANNOUNCED HERE Honier Saint-Gaudens to Deliver Lecture January 23.
