Directories
Ready Soon,
Says Wright
The 1950-1951 Student Direc
tory, commonly known as the
“Pigger's Guide,” will be complet
ed in an estimated 10 days, ac
cording to Virginia Wright, editor
of this year’s book.
The guide is at the printer’s
now and will probably be proof
read this weekend. As soon as it
is proofread the book will go back
to be finished by the printers.
Last year the guide came out
at Thanksgiving time.
Fewer Books This Year
This year there will be fewer
books printed due to higher costs
of printing and materials. . .but the
price has not been increased. Ac
cording to Bruce Wallace, busi
ness manager of the directory,
“It’s simply a matter of first
come, first-served.”
When the book does come out,
it will be up to each student to
pay 50 cents a copy at purchase
time, Wallace stated.
“This year in order to save
bookwork and the student’s time
in registration lines, no money was
taken for the book, at tjiat time,”
he explained.
The Yeomen, off-campus men’s
organization, will sell the book
this year. Places and dates of dis
tribution will be published next
week.

McGregor, who was ASUO pre
sident in 1923, was the first to ad
