The most surprising feature of the Yack photographic pol icy, however, is the fact that no one has to pay a cent for their photographs. Unlike last year, when fees ran from one to five dollars depending on the stu dent's class, a readjustment of the student fee structure and new legislative appropriations have made passible this service, without charge. Urge Students All students who have not already , made appointments for their photographs are urged to do so immediately by editorial board members Ruth Evans, Gene Johnstone, and Harold Bursley. No individual pictures will be taken at any fraternity houses this year. For the photographs men are asked to wear light-colored shirts, preferably white, dark coats and ties, toeds are re quested to wear V-necked dresses.
