Detrick Thinks New Plan
Fair; Limits Number
In Sections.
According to Otis Detrick, edi
tor of the Cornhusker, there are
still a number of students who are
complaining about the deadline
number. They declare that it is un
fair to limit the number of stu
dents who will have their pictures
in the 1932 book, and that it does
not give all of them a chance to
be represented, be says.
"I cannot see that there is any
injustice to any of the students by
setting a deadline number. The
pictures have been open for a
number of weeks and numerous
warnings have been given to get
them to have their pictures taken.
Each one has had plenty of time
for a sitting, and if they fail to
get in under the deadline it is their
own hard luck," he said.
When the deadline is reached
there will be only three days in
which to return the proofs to the
photographers. The Cornhusker
staff would appreciate it if the stu
dents who have had their pictures
taken and have not returned their
proofs would get them back to the
photographer as toon as possible,
said the editor. '
"I would like to call the atten
tion of the students to the fact
that during the week end there
will be three days, when no an
nouncement of the number of pic
tures left to be taken can be made.
This is due to the fact that alter
this issue, there will be none until
Sunday morning. During this time
the deadline may be reached, so it
would be a good idea to have your
pictures taken this week or you
may find that you have waited too
long," Detrick stated. .
"If you belong to any organiza
tions watch the column in the
Daily Nebraskan known as At The
Studio' for announcements of ap
pointments for organization pic
tures, and be ready when your
time comes," he concluded.
