invited to attend.

Clarify Pix
Dates for '44
Cornhusker
Misunderstanding of picture
taking for the 1944 Cornhusker
has led to confusion and waste of
time. All of the facts pertaining
to pictures for the yearbook are
given In the following paragraphs
in order to clarify the situation.
The Miller and. Paine Photo
studio, just south of the main
store, is taking the pictures of all
those students who want their pic
ture to appear in the 1944 Corn
husker. Studio hours are from 10 a. m
to 5 p. m. every day of the week
except Sunday; 7 to 9:30 p. m. on
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
nights; and at any other time y
appointment if students are unable
to come during regular hours.
This is the week for students
whose last names begin with A
and B to have their picture taken.
Each Sunday Nebraskan will
carry a complete schedule of the
times other students are to have
their appointments.
All students may have their pic
tures In this year's Cornhusker in
the class sections, and those stu
dents who either are affiliated
with a sorority or fraternity or
who live at the Women s Residence
Halls may have their pictures in
the affiliation section also.
The cost of a picture which is to
appear in the class section only is
$1.75. If a picture is to appear in
the affiliation section only, the
cost is $1.25, and if a picture is to
appear in both sections, the cost
is $2.75. Students must pay either
in cash or check for the pictures
at the time of their appointment.
All Denominations
Participate in Event
Lincoln churches will open theii
doors to university students for
the annual student church night
tonight. A closer relationship be
tween the church and the student
due to the gravity of the times is
expected by Gene Floyd, Y. M
secretary and religious co-ordina-
tor.
"Attendance is expected to be
higher than usual because of the
world-wide tendency to return to
the basic fundamentals of life,
declared Floyd.
Closed Night.
University officials have closed
this night to all other campus
functions in order to cooperate
with the churches participating.
Regarding the benefit's of stu
dent church night, Chancellor
Boucher says, "The idea of equal
ity placed in our Declaration of
Independence is essentially of re
ligious origin that men are 'Sons
of God' and 'are endowed by their
Creator with . certain unalienable
rights. The moral basis of democ
racy must be maintained if it is to
have any chance of success. The
best agency man has ever con
ceived for the development and
maintenance of high moral con
cepts and standards is the church."
