Tomorrow is El Rod day at Troy,. The ultra-modern El Rodeo, being put out nearly a month earlier. than usual, will be available at the Service building, next door to the information office.
The feature of the book will be the modem trend in layout. Editor! Fred Harper and Dave Durst, layout editor, have thought up an unusual layout, featuring angled cuts,1 off-set pictures, lots of whitespace, pastels, less copy, and more pictures. All but about 100 pages are in two colors, Harper said.
The 460-page book, dedicated to retiring Director of Admissions Hugh C. Willett, has been individualized as much as possible by the use of more pictures, according to Harper. Emphasis has been put on student activities, sports, candid-shot pages, and organizations.
Book Out Early Harper said he wanted to get the El Rod out early so that students could get the full benefit of it, instead of having just enough time to glance at it before final exams. With nearly a full month of school

June. The first layout work was done then, and Harper and Durst worked all summer on ideas for the new type of layout. Contracts were signed in August, and the real work by the full staff was started in September.
All the art work was completed by December, photography was done by February, and the complete layout was finished by March. Everything was pasted on the final dummy by April, and the book > | was ready to go to press.
Assist Editor Harper’s staff included Paul Morley, art editor; Durst; Harry Merrill, photo editor; Frank Glock-ner, copy; Dolores Dietrich, organi zations;' Al Crawford, sports; and Cass Sermak, photographer.
Much of the layout work has been exhibited in the University library display cases for the past two weeks. Those who have seen the displays can vouch for the modernistic trend, and Harper said

The veterans in opposition said that the government is doing enough already.
Marty Graber, petition circulation chairman, said he estimates that more than 1000 signatures are now on the roll* and 25 fraternities and organizations have not returned the petitions.
Living Cost Up “All we are asking is that subsistence be made commensurate with the rise in the cost of living, Graber said. The “Consumer’s Price index shows an increase of 9.6 per cent above a year ago. Statistics also reveal that rental rates have risen on the average of 23 to 50 per cent.”
