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.
