his class/whether he is married or
not, home town, local address and
local phone numbers. The football
and basketball schedules are also
listed in this publication. Added

all organized houses as well as the
phone numbers. There is a list of
all clubs and organizations with .all
the officers. Open hours of all de­partments
and the phone numbers
of all departments are another fea­ture

Another new innovation is the
cutting of the college calendar and
student assembly schedules. Cof-felt

that it is a very little used section
and the removal of these features
will cut down costs.

purchaser to both the winter and
spring supplements. The supple­ments
will list all changes that oc­cur
in the original Profile. Approxi­mately
800 copies will be printed.
The cover will be ivory with blue
printing. Copies will be on sale in
