To enable the many foreign stu

an organization of International

Cosmopolitan Club. The club has
a membership of 240 foreign stu

are designated by the section
heads. They snap and develop the
majority of the book's pictures.
Section heads handle specific por
tions of the book such as fraterni
ties, activities and colleges. They
write the copy and devise and
schedule the pictures that appear
in the several sections.
Workers, the typists and errand
runners, insure the completion on

The Cornhusker is supervised by
the faculty-student Board of Pub
lications. Paid staff members are
selected .by the Pub Board in the
spring. This new staff then selects
the section heads from the. worthy

sitions.
Lack of experience is no hin

ally reporters, without which the
paper could not function. From
the battery of reporters, the next
semester's staff is selected.
Staff members work on Satur
day mornings and Sunday, Men
day, Tuesday, and Thursday after
noons. Reporters are naturally
welcomed at any of these times to
write stories, interview people and
do any other tasks which might
come up. As reporters become
more adept at writing,- they are
given more and more important
things to do.
All students and faculty mem
bers who are dissatisfied with
some phase of campus life, find
an opportunity to vent their feel
ings in the Nebraskan Letterip col
lumn. Editorials are written by any
and all members of the Nebraskan
staff and usually concern contro
versial topics around campus at
the moment. Each staff member is
required to turn in at least one
editorial a week, besides being as
signed specific topics to write
about.

Freshmen women have their first
opportunity to begin working in
activities after four , weeks of
school. They sign up for the ac
tivities they wish to participate

Eighteen organizations are repre
sented in the all-freshman Activi
ties Mart. "Aim for Action" was
the theme selected by AWS for
this years Mart.
Members of each group decorate
and sponsor a booth which is used
to explain the purpose of the or
ganization. Only two women from any or
ganized house may sign up for AWS
workers in order to prevent any
disappointment In the spring, but
any number of independent women
"may sign up.
