Austrians Request Student for Safari

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An intensive hunt began last night for a healthy, muscular student to fill the empty fourth seat on a 30,000 mile jeep safari in Africa.

In a letter to the Student Council, two 20 year old Austrians, Richard Melisch and Eugen Sillar of Vienna, together with an unnamed Sudani, sketched out their proposed expedition and asked for a Harvard student to participate. According to the letter, the adventures hope to gain "a thrilling experience of life with the natives, to work and house with them, and to see their customs, as well as their old traditions and culture."

"The boy from the New World," as the letter phrased it, will be allowed to join the trip for only $1500. The safari plans to do most of its work with cameras and tape-recorder.
