Professors, Clerks Requested to Report All New Addresses
All faculty members, administrative heads, clerks, secretaries, and office assistants of the university who have changed either their addresses or telephone numbers during the past summer are urged to report the changes either personally or by telephone to the ^university editor’s office. This information must be obtained immediately as it will be used in the Trojan Directory to be published soon. Otherwise, incorrect addresses and telephone numbers will be printed.
Work on the Trojan Directory is going ahead rapidly according to Ray Zeman, editor. The directory will contain the following information on every student: university address, telephone, home town, class numerals, school or college, and fraternity or sorority affiliation. Every professor’s name, title, address, and telephone; names of all clerks and assistants on campus, and the president and secretary of every club and organization on campus will be given also.
Bill Ruymann, wrho was editor last year, did not return to school this year.
