APPEAL FOR PICTURE
Saturday Deadline Will
A'o Be Extended
Says Sjyencer.
Issuing his last apeal to the jun
iors and seniors who have not yet
had their pictures taken for the
1933 Cornhusker, R. W. Spencer
yesterday stated again that the
deadline which has been set for
Saturday, March 25, at 6 p. m. was
final.
A. number of students, he said,
seem to feel that this section will
be reopened later. "All of the
material must be sent to the print
ers the first week in April, which
means that pictures cannot be ac
cepted after the deadline."
Pictures taken for the fraternity
or sorority sections may be used
in the junior or senior divisions, he
pointed out, for an additional pay
ment of $2.25 instead of $3.75 for
a new picture.
The group decided at its meet
ing Thursday afternoon, to invite
all football men who made letters
last fall to the dance following the
dinner in addition to the Innocents
and all senior letter men.
