Two dollars and fifty cents paid now will reserve an annual for any student The price is to be raised tomorrow, but the exact figure has not yet been determined. All books must be checked in by competitors between 4 and 7 o'clock today. Any organization or individ ual who has not checked in by this time will be penalized. The two winning organizations and the six highest individuals will not be made public until Sunday, when they will be announced in The Daily Nebraskan. First prize will be awarded immediately afterward. Plan Student-life. "Plans for the 1925 Cornhusker are even better than those of last year," said Robert Lang, business manager yesterday. The most inter esting section of the book for stu dents is the student-life " section, which will be called 'Mirrors of Ne braska.' This part of the annual is to be all that the name implies, and will contain about twenty more pages than it has in former Cornhuskers. Several students are working on this section, and already articles have been turned in. It will be a real student-life section, one that every stu dent should be anxious to see. "The 1925 Cornhusker will con tain seven pages of three-color pro cess, something that a Nebraska an nual has never contained before. Ex quisite art work and many pictures will make the book the most inter esting annual Nebraska has ever pub lished." JUNIORS ASKED TO PICK PHOTOGRAPHS Staff Will Make Selections on Seventy-five Unless Proofs Returned. Juniors who have had their pic tures taken for the Cornhusker, but who have not made selections from the proofs are requested to do so at once. Seventy-five proofs have not been returned, the photograph ers declare, and unless they are in the "studios by Saturday, the Corn husker staff will make the selec tions. Some of the very first to have their photographs taken are among the offenders. Nearly all of the pictures have been finished and are ready for mounting. The junior section closed a week ago. The Hauck and Town send studios took all of the pictures. Seniors and sororities wishing to have sittings before Christmas must assure the photographers that they will order additional pictures for themselves. Otherwise the studios will take no more pictures until after the holidays. OFFER INVESTIGATION PRIZE H.rt. Schaffner and Marx Want Wage Theory Studies.

Tho exhibition will be open to the public for tho next two weeks from 3 to 5 o'clock on Sundays, all day Saturday and from 0 to 12 other days. The paintings of Patterson sug gest a man who has dared to see California as it really is, and who has likewise the technic to fit the necessities of expression. The paintings are not the conventional scenes that painters so often place on canvas but are of a simpler and more natural character. "In the Morning," is a rain scene, with a spirit of dignity and peace. "Long Peak" is painted in its rough reality, without the pain ful dignity so often seen in its depiction. Other scenes are laid in California and in New Mexico. Mr. and Mrs. Patterson are ex pected here next week. 500 DIRECTORY BOOKS UNSOLD 2200 Copies Sold cn First Day; Few N Books Are Also on Sale Today.

The crowd is expected to be the largest of the year, for this will be the Aggie homecoming. Old grads from many states are planning to re turn to look over the school and see the big game. Registration for the caravan has not been heavy so far, and those in charge believe that there are many who plan to go who have not yet reg istered. One or two busses will also make the trip. A pathfinder car will lead the line and an auto ambulance will follow. Tickets ai'e on sale at Latsch Brothers, and all students are asked to get their tickets before leaving Lincoln. Otherwise they cannot be obtained in the special Nebraska sec tion. Dopesters are favoring the Corn huskers to win the game, but compar ative scores give little encourage ment. The Aggies and Nebraska both beat Kansas U by a one-touch down margin. Missouri conquered the Aggies, although outdowned and outyarded, while Nebraska beat Mis souri in a game in which the Huskers were rather lucky.
