The project, which will include a two-page spread' for each depart¬ ment, is being developed by Geor¬ gia Hanes and Freda Groff, editor and associate editor, respectively, of the “Campus.” Art Editor Lee Ruggles is designing the unusual page layouts which should make this year’s book outstanding. Wayne Hodges, staff adviser, says that work is progressing nice¬ ly except for the senior photo¬ graphs. With the deadline for hav¬ ing these pictures made set at Feb¬ ruary 12, it is urgent that seniors make appointments immediately, he pointed out. Mr. Hodges is well pleased with the work of the staff to date. He pointed out particularly the work of Arch Hayward in getting the photography for the -book done early.
