CHANGES OFFICER ELECTION Constitutional Revision Includes By-Lair Incorporation. A few changes, the most im portant of which is ' the changed time of election of officers, are being made in the constitution of the Y. W. C A. The election was formerly held the first week in March and the installation of offi cers the first week in April. The new plan calls for election at the end of the first semester and installation at the beginning of the second. It is thought that this will give the new cabinet members a better grasp of the work before the summer vacation. Another change made is the incorporation of the by-laws of the advisory board into the constitu tion and the rule that a member of the board may serve only two consecutive terms of three years each. The Ag college Y. W. C A. will also become a more integrated part of the whole university asso ciation. The revision has been decided upon by the cabinet and, will be put to a vote of the members of the Y. W. C A. at Vesper next Tuesday. If accepted, the plan CHARM SCHOOL DANCE will go inla effect this year. , THAT BALL TICKETS TO SELL FOR $1.50 Sales Will Be in Charge Of Interfraternity Members.

"The fact that Husk O'Hare has been scheduled for the evening has proved to be a great drawing card." Announcement of the engage ment of Husk O'Hare and his original band, commonly known as "Husk O'Hare and his genial gentlemen of the air," was made in the Daily Nebraskan yesterday morning.

At the dinner attended by mem bers of the Cornhusker editorial staff Thursday evening at the Sigma Nu house, R. W. Spencer, editor-in-chief of the annual, ex plained that the prime purpose of this sort of meeting is to create "Cornhusker spirit" and promote co-operation between the various staffs of the book. Spencer pointed out that the biggest task at present is the completion of the junior, senior, fraternity and sorority sections. "Since the photographers have an nounced that they will continue taking pictures for these divisions a surprising number of photos have come to the office. Judging from the present number of pictures taken the 1933 Cornhusker will have a larger student representa tion than last year's book." He indicated, however, that the editors in charge of these divisions and their staffs had a lot of work to do between now and the time of the deadline and that the ultimate T'ccess of these sections depends in a large degree upon their activ ities. "No picture deadline has been set," he asserted, but he asked his staff to urge that the students not wait for the deadline, but to have their picture taken for the new year bool- at once.
