O. Broady of the teachers' college took a group of nine students to Newton, la., laat week where the plan is In operation. Those making the trip were: Nettie Cornell, Harriett Schwenkcr, Harold Salter, William Jrossoehme, Dwlght Fellows, Raymond Wolfe, Frank Giado ville, Ira Mitchell and Marcus Swengel. All except Mr. Swengel are graduate students in achool administration. Mr. Swengel is the superintendent of schools at Nehawka, Neb. The platoon system differs from the usual organization in the ele mentary grades in that it seeks to partially departmentalize the schools. Pupils remain in their classroom half the day studying regular subjects but the other half take special work in music, art, sciences, gym work, and such in other rooms. II DAYS LEFT TO GET Studios Will Make Effort To Accommodate All Who Want Appointments. MUST MAKE OWN DATES With only two days remaining before the time limit is reached, students have their last chance to get photographs taken for the jun ior, senior, fraternity and sorority sections of the 1931 Cornhusker at Hauck's and Townsend's studios. "The studios have made every possible arrangement in order that they may accommodate everyone who wishes to get their picture taken during these last two days," Kenneth Gammill, editor, indicated Saturday. More Picture Wanted. "Although in comparison with results at other schools we do not have as many pictures for the jun ior and senior sections of the book as we should like, we find that it will be impossible, as far as we know, to make any further photo graphic provisions for this year's annual. The reason for this is that studios must cease their student business on Nov. 25 in order to accommodate the Christmas rush, and although we could arrange for appointments after Christmas this is not practicable as we must get our plates into the engravers shortly after the first of the year." All students who are planning to use their last year's photographs which were taken at Hauck's or Townsend's must make immediate arrangements at the respective studios, according to the yearbook editor. Any person wishing to use a picture taken at some other studio must get the editor's con sent for this at the Cornhusker office. No More Phoning. The Cornhusker staff will be gin Monday to fix the pictures in plate sequence for the engravers, n,i. in this work thev will be un able to continue the making of photographic appointments by hn on, I thus the nicture tak ing responsibility for the final two days will rest entirely upon the individual student. There is no complicated process involved in se curing the photographs and ordi narily it takes but a few minutes. It is necessary only for the stu dents to present themselves at Hauck's or Townsend's and make arrangements at the desk. The editor of the yearbook urges the representatives who have been appointed in the vari ous fraternities and sororities to check up on their members and see that they have all been prop erly informed that Nov. 25 is the final date for all Cornhusker pic tures.

So smooth was the attack that the Hawks rrossflrl the Hu-ker goal when the quarter was less than five minutes old. Nebraska's en tire line blocked the kick. Then Iowa kicked off. and Ne braska tried a few plays, and kicked to loose possession of the ball until after another Hawkeye touchdown had been rung up on the scoreboard.
