of the 1931 edition of the Pandora,

for their books at the time of regis
tration.
Freshman, sophomore, and junior
classes which heretofore have had
only the names listed, will, under
the new regime, have individual pic
tures, and this will mean that there
will be at least 500 more photo
graphs than in any annual before
the current one.

“Work on the Pandora this year
has been carried on differently from
the manner In which It has been done
in the past,” stated the editor. He
