According to Otis Detrick, edi tor of the Cornhusker, there are still a number of students who are complaining about the deadline number. They declare that it is un fair to limit the number of stu dents who will have their pictures in the 1932 book, and that it does not give all of them a chance to be represented, be says. "I cannot see that there is any injustice to any of the students by setting a deadline number. The pictures have been open for a number of weeks and numerous warnings have been given to get them to have their pictures taken. Each one has had plenty of time for a sitting, and if they fail to get in under the deadline it is their own hard luck," he said. When the deadline is reached there will be only three days in which to return the proofs to the photographers. The Cornhusker staff would appreciate it if the stu dents who have had their pictures taken and have not returned their proofs would get them back to the photographer as toon as possible, said the editor. ' "I would like to call the atten tion of the students to the fact that during the week end there will be three days, when no an nouncement of the number of pic tures left to be taken can be made. This is due to the fact that alter this issue, there will be none until Sunday morning. During this time the deadline may be reached, so it would be a good idea to have your pictures taken this week or you may find that you have waited too long," Detrick stated. . "If you belong to any organiza tions watch the column in the Daily Nebraskan known as At The Studio' for announcements of ap pointments for organization pic tures, and be ready when your time comes," he concluded.
