Dreams of Pigger's Staff
Haunted by Illegible Names
By Marge Elliott
Names, names, names! Stu
dents on the Pigger’s Guide staff
literally dream about names, and
have nightmares about the ones
that werent written legibly.
The Pigger’s Guide, a student
directory, carries just about every
little thing that a student needs
to know. Telephone numbers are
listed for offices, living organiza
tions, honoraries, and religious
groups.
Hours are listed for the Co-op,
library, and final examinations.
The directory even covers tradi
tions, songs, and an academic cal
endar.
One section lists the name of
every student, his home address,
campus address and telephone
number. The back of the booklet
gives data on the faculty.
Out Nov. 1
The staff begins working when
school starts. They hope to have
this year’s directory out by Nov.
1.
During registration most stu
dents printed their names on blue
cards to be used by the Pigger’s
Guide.the rest merely scrib
bled their names. Thus, the first
step in compiling the pigger’s
book is the main problem.
The staff must take two steps
to remedy the situation. First
they check with the student’s
other registration cards to see if
they can decipher any of them.
Tf this (ioesn’t do the trick, they
simply spend many hours of their
week at the telephone.
Many Steps
Then it’s a matter of putting
all the names in alphabetical ord
er. After this they wait for the
names to come hack from the print
er’s to be checked. Finally the print
er checks the corrections and all is
done.
Meanwhile the business side is
knocking on doors downtown sell
ing ads. This year they brought
in $700. They have already re
ceived proof on it, and all that
remains is checking again with
advertisers and handing it into the
printers again.
Cover A Secret
The cover of the Pigger’s Guide
was done by Curt Finch, who
was appointed art editor. Exact
ly what the cover will look like
is a secret.
Virginia Wright, editor, heads
a staff consisting of Edith Kad
ing, social editor; Margaret
Powne, information editor; Curt
Finch, art; and Pat Choat and
Sally Thurston, executive editors.
The business side is in the hands
of Bruce Wallace. Fred Baltz
is advertising editor.
These students work four nights
a week at their office in the Stu
dent Union, and at other times
during the day.

An additional call for petitions
for the Homecoming promotion

Kuckenberg, committee chairman.

Thousands of hands work when you say “fill ’er up”
Most folks probably think of a corporation
like ours in terms of a name.. ."Standard Oil
Company of California.”
Actually, a company is people... people
working together.
In our case, 27,900 men and women work
to bring you the products you buy from us.
They each contribute special skills and abil
ities, live their own lives in many different
places. You’ll find their houses down the
block, pass them on the street, sit next to
them at a movie.
In the extremely competitive oil business,
it takes a lot of people—working with many
expensive tools—to bring you good products
at reasonable prices. For crude oil is a bulky,
sticky liquid that's hard to handle. Taking oil
from the ground, refining it, transporting it
and pumping it into your car or oil burner is
a continuous job... a job that can be done
most efficiently when many people pool many
talents within a coordinated organization.
That’s why thousands of hands work at
Standard to bring you good products ... and
to make sure oil flows in steady supply to
America’s planes, tanks, trucks and ships in
times of national emergency.
Your progress and oil progress go hand in hand
