PRICE FIVE CENTS IKE FIMflLCflLL FDn SOPH PHU IUS Saturday Last Day for Second Year Pictures SNAP SHOTS WANTED Cornhusker Management Asks for Plctuies of Campus Life and Espe cially of the Men "Over There with but four days left In which to hare their pictures taken for the Corn busker, all sophomores are warned by the Cornhusker management, that they must make arrangement with the Townsend studio at once. The time limit U set for Saturday night at 9 o'clock. After that time, no more pic tures will be accepted. The proofs will be sent to the engravers the first thing next week. Cards were sent out to all the sophomores of the University today, Informing them to have their pictures taken. Some of the sophomores names were not listed, so that It Is possible that some may not receive those cards. This should make no difference to these students, and they should make arrangements immediately for having their pictures taken regardless of not getting the cards. Some of the members of the second year class have failed thus far to pay the fee charged for taking the pic tores. It the fees are not payed, all tbe trouble of sitting for the pictures will be for nothing. The pictures will not go in the Cornhusker unless the fees are paid. The upper classes have been more prompt with, this than the sophomores, and the second year stu dents should take heed and tend to this at once. The management of the Cornhusker is still asking the University body, to bring in campus views, snap shots of tbe men in kahki, and any other in teresting material that they may have. These things will be the very life of the book this year, and every student of the University is urgod to aid the staff in making the Cornhusker tbe best that it Is possible to make. If any student has any pictures of the Nebraska boys "over there," they are asked to kindly turn them in at the editorial office of The Cornhusker, in tbe basement of U Hall.
