SECTIONS FOR
'36
New . Record in Finishing
Groups at Early Date
Established.
Having already closed eleven
fraternity and sorority sections for
the 1936 Cornhusker, members of
the yearbook's fraternity and so
rority staff have established a new
record in completing sections at
such an early date, according to
Faith Arnold, Cornhusker editor.
This is the first time any sec
tions have been closed by Thanks
giving or even before the Christ
mas vacation period, the editor
stated. The deadline for taking
pictures has been moved ahead,
and all sections will be closed by
the end of next week, Miss Arnold
pointed out. The deadline had been
previously set for Dec. 21.
Houses whose sections have
been completed are: Delta Gamma,
Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kap
pa, Gamma, Pi Beta Phi, Sigma
Alpha Iota, Sigma Delta Tau, Ze
ta Tau Alpha, Alpha Xi Delta, Al
pha Omicron Pi, Delta Zeta and
Beta Theta PI.
"Excellent co-operation has been
given Jean Walt and her staff in
completing these sections," Miss
Arnold stated.
The remaining sorority sections
will be finished this week and it
is expected fraternities will have
closed their divisions by the end
of the following week. Those who
have not yet had their pictures
taken should do so immediately,
the editor asked. Action must be
had at once in order to give the
photographer ample time to make
the panels before Christmas.
