Actual El Rodeo work started
Actual work on the 1944 El Rodeo began this week, and extensive plans have been laid for its production, including appointments for senior, sorority, fraternity, and activity pictures.
Sittings are planned for the entire student body, emphasized Mari-lee Carlson and Colleen Phipps, organization co-editors.
In line with the country’s conservation program, the scheduling committee stated that all appointments should be kept, because no last minute cancellations or forgotten appointments will be tolerated by the photographic department.
“It is imperative that all organizations cooperate by making their appointments early and keeping them as planned. The students must be made to realize that this is a serious problem, and that the suc-
cess of the planned schedule rests upon their aid,” stated Miss Carlson.
To make appointments, students will go directly to the photographic department at 25th place and University avenue, across from Administration building. Sittings may be scheduled for as early as Thursday morning, Dec. 30, and will continue through January and February.
“Approximately 30 to 35 students can be handled daily,” said Joseph Mingo, director of the photographic department, “so everyone will be able to find a time that will fit into his program.”
Pictures will be $1.50 for a sitting, and as many prints will be made, at no extra charge, as the student has activities to be illustrated in the El Rodeo.
“Fraternities will be represented
in the 1944 El Rodeo despite da-creased activities on campus,” declared Miss Phipps. “In fact, some fraternities have already made arrangements for their pages.”
