this year the committee in charge
felt that the affair would be better
attended if held during the day,

Cornhusker Staff
Effort to Bring
Coming down the home stretch,
beginning the last big effort that
is to culminate months of labor
and painstaking care, the 1933
Cornhusker staff Is about to com
plete material for the new year
book. In another week or so the
publishing company will have the
book ready for their presses and
another Cornhusker will have been
issued.
In this "home stretch," however,
there is much to do and therein
comes the most tedious part of
issuing a Cornhusker t hat of
reading and correcting proof of
all the copy that the staffs have
been preparing for several months.
Since the first few weeks in
school a large staff of workers has
been carrying on for one of Ne
braska's oldest traditions. Photo
graphers have covered every im
portant event that has happened
during this school year. Hundreds
of pictures have been recorded
from this campus and others
where Nebraska students have fol
lowed the varsity teams the past
season.

has conducted two successful sales
drives and dozens of other students
have spent many hours in the pro

but it is believed that it will be
in the near future. As soon as
proofs are iead and corrections are
made the printers will start turn
ing them out and the 1933 Corn

It will be a different Cornhusker
than any of the previous books,

different ideas in striving to make
it a book truly representative of

A larger feature section, inter
spersed with interesting views of
campus scenes, fraternity and
sorority groups, juniors and sen

the book a value that cannot be
measured in dollars and cents.
