L Cornhusker Urges Groups to Turn in Contracts for Pictures. According to the editor of the Cornhusker junior and senior pic tures for the Cornhusker are still being accepted. The time limit on these pictures, however, is indefin ite. When this section will close depends upon when the engravers call for the pictures, so those who are planning on having their pic tures taken for this section should do so at once. It is likely that there will be no advance notice when the pictures can no longer be taken. "The Cornhusker staff will mail the questionnaires to the sororities and fraternities and various other organizations within the next day or two. We would appreciate prompt attention on the part of the the organizations, which will speed up work on the book and make it possible for us to get it out at an early date. "We would also like to have the fraternities and Bororitles and other organizations hand in their contracts as soon as possible, as well as the amount of money con tracted for. The Cornhusker needs this money to pay the engraving bills that have been accumulated on work that has been sent in to the engravers," he urged.

S. freshman group at a general mass meeting Tuesday afternoon. Miss Palmer went on to say that the field of advertising is one of the most in teresting and important for young college women. Only women are suitable for this career because they know, more than men, the thrills of buying a hat and striking a bargain for bath towel. It is also true that young women are capable of "getting on" with the men in the firms. In regard to the interest rf the work, Miss Palmer remarked that there was a great variety for the worker because of the change of merchandise purchased by the companies.

Henzlik, dean of the teachers college, Tuesday made the main address at the annual meeting of the Association of Nebraska School Boards and Executives being held at Fremont. The superintendent with ambi tions for a better position than the one he holds has a ruinous effect on the public school system, ac cording to Dean Henzlik. "A superintendent who is always thinking how to win favor or fear ing discharge cannot render good judgement or give the best ser vice," Henzlik said. "You cannot get good service by tearing up the roots of his friendships and by breaking up the social life of his wife and children by causing him annually to seek employment else where. "I am speaking of those lovely little towns where everybody is telling the school men always to be on the lookout for a bigger place a poisonous philosophy that is eating into the very heart and soul of public education in Nebras ka." The superintendent's program of school development is hindered by such a position of instability, the dean declared, and teaching activi ties of the school staff can not be properly supervised.
