Directory
Delayed
By Printer
Student Foundation sources to
day reported that the annual Student-Faculty
Directory has been
delayed because of "faulty print
ing." They reported that all copy pre
pared by the Foundation for the
book had been completed three
weeks ago. The business side of
the pocket-size publication was
done shortly after that.
Printing has been slowed down
because of a too heavy printing
schedule of the contracting print
er. He has reported to the Foun
dation that his staff has been un
able to print the book on schedule
because of conflicting orders.
The Directory was ready for
sale after Thanksgiving vacation
last year, though it had always
appeared in the second semester
previous to that. Administrative
officials have reportedly assured
the Foundation that under a new
system of registering next fall the
student lists for the Directory
would be available much earlier
next year.
Foundation workers had hoped
to have the Directory out Mon
day, but fear it will now be de
layed until after Christmas vacation.

were miraculously saved, mov

radio training in Washington, D.C.,
is the grand prize offered in the

and a basic course offered by
correspondents. Awards will be
made by qualified judges on the
merits of scrips submitted. Any

sonel in radio is growing so
rapidly," says Miss Alice Keith,
president of the broadcasting
academy, "that we are unable to

announcers and writers sent us by
stations throughout the country.

in September practically all were
placed in stations within two
weeks after commencement."
Trained Writers Needed

able to anounce, produce or do
public relations work are in spe

College women interested in
conducting broadcasts for women
and children or in directing pro

as broadcasters are often called on
to double in various branches.
