Limited Number Pictures
Acceptable Replaces
. Final Date Plan.
SuDercedine the usual deadline
for junior and senior pictures in
the Cornhusker will be a "deadline
number." This will permit upper-
classmen to have their pictures
taken until a specific quota has
been reached. The quota is gov
erned bv sDace now reserved for
juniors and seniors.
"The number of nictures which
will be required to fill the reserved
space for this section is unaer
one-half of all juniors and seniors
of the university. When this num
ber has been reached the section
will be closed and no more pictures
will be accepted," Otis Detrick,
editor of the year book, declared
yesterday.
"Circumstances in the past have
forced editors to extend the dead
lines they have set on pictures in
the junior and senior sections.
which caused them a great deal of
extra work at the last minute, re
sulting in loss of efficiency. This
situation is not going to exist this
year, and when the number of pic
tures planned for have been taken,
no more will be accepted," Detrick
declared.
Left to Individuals.
"This situation leaves the re
sponsibility of the picture taking
up to the individuals. We have
given them fair warning, nave
asked tnm repeatedly to nave
their sittings immediately, and
have done everything possible to
put the idea across that the pic
tures must be in before tne aeaa
line," he asset ted.
Th limited amount of space
that can be allowed for the junior
and senior sections means mat
more than one-half of the juniors
and seniors in school will not get
their pictures in the Cornhusker.
"If they do not get their pictures
in hofnrp ihe limit is reached, they
are going to be left out, and it will
be their own naro iuck, ne aiu,
horai.op from now on. the policy
will be first come first served, and
when the deadline number is
reached, no more will be accepted.

The Smoker is given as an offi

Winning Playwright; No
Deadline Yet.
A call for manuscripts for the
annual spring musical show of the
Kosmet Klub was issued late yes
terday afternoon by Dick Dev
ereaux. president of the organiza
tion. This is the official beginning
made by the Klub each year to ob
tain a play for the spring show.
The play, according to Dever
eaux, should consist of a musical
show of about three acts, written
with the idea of an all male cast.
There are to be female roles in the
show, but they are to be taken by
men. This practice has become a
tradition with the Klub and in only
one show have women had parts.
The cast should comprise about
thirty members and the manu
script should be ready to submit
before the Christmas holidays. The
exact deadline will be announced
later. A $50 prize will be given
the author of the winning play this
year as in the past.
Trip Plans Take Shape.
The spring musical comedy is
one of the main activities of the
Kosmet Klub each year. The Klub
always takes the play on a road
trip to various cities throughout
the state. Plans for the trip dur
ing spring vacation in 1932 are be
ginning to take form, the president
announces, and two or three towns
have been tentatively signed for
the trip. .. ...
"TEe play is also given in Lincoln
following Ivy day. Last year the
Klub presented "High and Dry"
in Hastings and in Lincoln two
nights.
William T. McCleery, '31, a
member of the Klub and former
president of the Innocents, wrote
the past three plays for the spring
show. In 1929 he wrote "Don't Be
Silly." in 1930 "Sob Sisters" won
the prize and last year "High and
