COUNCIL TURNS DOWN
ARB
PETITION
FOR
CLOSED NIGHT DATE
Other Organizations Have
Arranged Parties for
December 10.
The petition to close the night of
Dec. 10 for a Christmas party
sponsored by the Barb council was
rejected by the Student council
Wednesday afternoon. In reject
ing the petition, the council passed
a rule requiring any organization
desiring such action to submit the
request at least two montns prior
to the date which was to be closed.
Discussion of the request pre
sented by the Barb council re
vealed the fact that several organ
izations had already scheduled par
ties for the night of Dec. 10, and
that closing the night would sub
ject them to embarrassment in
MncellinEr arrangements. A rec
ommendation was made that the
Barb council confer with a com
mittee of the Student council in an
effort to arrange for sponsoring
rf an all university nartv under
the auspices of the Barb council
later in the year, at which time the
Student council might decree a
closed night witnout connicung
with previously completed pians.
The council voted to include in
its budget request to the faculty
committee on student affairs, an
appropriation of $35.00 for use by
the Student Forum commission in
securing an outstanding speaker
for the first Forum meeting. Reg
inald Porter, Student council mem
ber of the commission reported
that the commission felt it was
neeessarv to have some money
available in order to bring to the
campus a speaker capable or at
tracting student attendance.
Th council voted to exclude
from the budget an appropriation
for sending a delegate to me an
nual convention of the National
Student Federation of America.

Spencer Explains Studios
Have Refused Photos
After Dec. 21.
Reaffirming y e s t erday's an
nouncement that the deadline for
Cornhusker pictures has been def
initely set for Wednesday, Dec. 21,
Ralph Spencer, editor, stressed the
fact that there is not as much time
left as might be thought. Actu
ally there are only thirty days left
when pictures may be taken.
Some objections have resulted
from the deadline, foremost among
them being that it is too early this
year. The editor explained that
there was no alternative and that
he was forced to set Dec. 21 as the
deadline because the photogra
phers have refused to take pictures
for the Junior, senior, fraternity
and sorority sections of the 1933
yearbook after that date.
He stated that the cost of pic
tures is much less than In former
years, with Junior and senior pic
tures costing only (3.50 and those
for the sorority and fraternity sec
tions costing $1.50.
Because of the fact that this
year the officers of the various
houses will be recognized as such
in the Junior and senior sections,
Spencer requested that those who
have already had their pictures
taken, visit the Cornhusker office
and list their positions.
