PRINTERS BID FOR CATALOGS • - ♦ - School Board Lets Contract For Publication of Jaysee Bulletins Contracts were to have been let today by the Boai’d of Education for the printing of the new junior college catalogue and the new nurses’ bulletin. Because of over¬ work in the school printslhop, it has been found necessary to have these books printed in outside shops, 'ac¬ cording to John A. Anderson, dean of records. A number of radical changes will be found in the new catalogue, says Mr. Anderson. The chief dif¬ ference will be the absence of a large part of the material which ds of interest chiefly to faculty members only. This information is to be compiled in a set of loose- leaf pages to fit the teachex-s’ class boobs. The pai-t of the book dealing -with the student government is to be placed in a student’s handbook, which will 'be printed in a school shop during the summer, and dis¬ tributed to the students in the fall. Another departure is the pub¬ lishing of the nurses’ bulletin, an illustrated booklet of the same gen¬ eral description as the catalogue. This will be used by the women who are studying nursing in the course given here and at the Pasa¬ dena hospital. School Awaits Board Decision Experimentation laboi’atories for the study of aeronautics, hydrau¬ lics, internal combustion engines, electricity hot metals, cold metals, and properties of wood, are to be installed in the remodeled Manuel Arts Building. Definite decision to start the work depends upon whe¬ ther the Board of Education finds such an appropriation can be in¬ cluded in the coming year’s budget. Preliminary plans for the re¬ building, prepared by Frederick Kennedy, Jr., local architect, were approved by the Board. These call for rebuilding part of the present shops from the foundation up, in¬ stallation of new overhead light¬ ing, reconstruction of walls, and addition of windows.
