FOURTEEN DAYS REMAIN I WWII .- University of Nebraska stu dents have fourteen days left dur ing which they may get their pic tures taken for the 1931 Corn husker annual. 'Under our present contracts with the studios we are forced to cease making appointments for pictures after Nov. 25," stated Kenneth Gammil, editor, Saturday. "We should like to be able to have more time in order to make it easier for some of the students who are rather busy at present .butJthatis.not.within our power," he asserted. The reason that no appoint ments can be secured after Nov. 25 is that the Christmas rush for photographers usually begins at that time and they are forced, for business reasons, to give their services over to that end. The Cornhusker staff Is making regular calls to students to aid them in securing appointments for pictures. It is also possible for students to make their own ap pointments for it is necessary to only appear at either Hauck's or Townsend's studio and ordinarily they will be photographed imme diately. "There is a certain tendency am o n g some students," com mented the editor of the annual, "to disregard time limits. Many believe that we are running things as in the past and that any "dead lines" we set are merely used for effect. The Cornhusker is being run on a different basis this year, however, and as in the case of our fall sale we are going to live up to the terms which we set." Students who wish their picture to appear in the junior and senior section of the yearbook are espe cially urged to get their pictures taken as soon as possible. Mem bers of the junior and senior staff are bending their every effort towards aiding students in mak ing arrangements. Fraternity and sorority pictures nay be taken after the Christmas holidays, but it is desired that they, too, be taken before Nov. 25.

That cry to students hunting for fossils in the Nebraska sand hills carries the same thrill as the cry of "gold" to treasure hunters of earlier days. Fossils are hard to locate. Most of the rich beds in this section of the country have been gleaned of the remains that they held.
