Campus Calls for
'38 Cornhuskers
In Union Building
Ivory. Bound Annual Reveals
Beauty Queens, Lavish
Use of Pictures.
As the 8 o'clock bell shrills In
buildings on the campus Monday
morning, distribution of the long
awaited 1938 edition of the Corn
husker will begin in the newly oc
cupied offices of the yearbook in
the basement of the Student
Union.
Containing more color, more
pictures, more details, and more
features than any yearbook ever
published here, this year's edition
was delayed as long as possible in
an effort to get as much of the
new Student Union as possible.
"To have waited until the open
ing." states Editor Bill Clayton,
"would have been impracticable."
Cosmopolitan Year Book.
Hours of painstaking effort,
dnvs of calculations to insure ab
solute accuracy, then full speed
ahead with double smrts wonting
nn the presses and in the bindery.
Opposing last yenr's practice of
making the book sinciiy a Ne
braska project, the 1938 Corn
Imslter has snared no effort to
gather material from all over the
world, rictures, sent irom iur
nwnv Ftevnt are used in the snap
shot section of the annual. The
book is bound in ivory leather with
rust ink.
Retain Personal Index.
Retention of the personal index
was both a delay ana me cause
of further grief. Three thousand
fivo hundred nelsons are pictured
in the volume, and to tabulate an
index giving the exact pages on
whiVi their nictures arc 10 DC
found forced staff members to con
tinuc their labors night after night
until morning.
To the best compositor in the
idle west went tlie task of set
ting up types. The best grade of
paper available was used. To the
leading bindery in this part of the
country went the completed
volume.
Awaiting the decision of Girl Il
lustrator Tcttv on the Nebraska
variety of feminine pulchritude
consumed a great deal of time.
Finally, however, the book was
completed. Oreanizations. activi
ties, athletics, beauty queens all
in place, awaiting the acclaim 01
university students and helping to
estahlish' "Nebraska's Tlacc in the
Sun."

members of the Nebraska faculty
who have stuck with the school
and have helped It to attain its
rightful place in the sun. Counter
acting the rumor that all of the
good professors are gone or going,
twenty thumbnail sketches cf dis
tinguished professors, with their
pictures, appear as one or tlie
unusual and fitting features of
the book.

Annual Shows Influence

Dedicated in picture and in
phrase to a portrayal of Nebras
ka s place in the sun, the 1938
Cornhusker will show .students how
their state and school touch and
influence the rest of the world
when the annual makes its appear

From Shanghai to Egypt, via
steamship and China Clipper, have
come letters to the 1938 Cornhusk

symbol of the rising sun with
Axtec rays shines from the digni
fied cover, the frontispiece, and
nearly every page in the unusual
rust ink that was specially blend
ed for the 1938 yearbook. The
cream and rust tones used in the
book make it probably Lhc most
colorful and alive annual that Ne
braska has ever seen.
Nebraska Who's Who.
That Nebraska has a 'definite
place in the sun will be the firm
conviction of the readers of the
yearbook when they see for the
first time in the Cornhusker their
own list of the Nebraska names In
the news and of the University of
Nebraska men and women who
have graduated to places in the
Who's Who in America. Howard
Lynch, business manager, has in
cluded this most interesting infor
mation in his advertising sections.
To further comply with the cos
mopolitan air of the book, Editor
Clayton, in contrast to former ed
itors who tried to make their book
only about Nebraska and in Ne
braska, has gone outstate to find
the best in paper; engraving, pho
tography, and art for his contribu
tion to the volumes of Nebraska
Cornhuskers.
Photography is the pride of the
new book. Pictures replace wotis
ami pictures replace drawings.
addition, the pictures arc mainh
of action, not pose; are taken out-
of-doors. not in the studio: and are W'
quite thoroly representative of life
at the University of Nebraska. The
fraternity section, for the first
lime, shows members of the chap
ters in informal groups. The foot
ball team is not pictured in front
of velure drapes, but out on the
field running, tackling, kicking, or
falling, just what they were doing
in an actual game when the candid
camera man clicked his box.
Comment Informational.
What printed comment there is
in this annual, tho touching occa
sionally on the ironical, is mainly
in the form of information. Sta-.
tistics are given, as an innovatio
ror an or the cornhusker atniejnc
events.
A personal and general Index,
summing up the wide scope of the
book, shows that 3,500 faces of
students, alumni, and faculty ap
pear at least once and often many
times.
