The paper must be pur-chased and stored for several weeks or a month so that is can become acclimated to the atmos- )heric conditions here, and will then take a perfect impression from the printing presses. The nv.tal plates from which :Ile book will be printed are be-ing made by the South Dakota Engravei s in their establishment on North Main Avenue. The cov- ,-21 s are being made at Kingsport, Tennessee, and will be incorpor-ated into the book at the Will A. Eeach Printing Company, which Jompany also does book-binding. A portion of the EDDA will be done in lithographing as of form-er years; the advertising section has been selected to be done in this medium, which will enable the artists and designers of ads to use a much wider group of illustrations and unusual decor-ative effects. The price of the EDDA has been fixed at the sum of 3.50; each student will pay forty cents to have his portrait inserted. Au-gustana business manager Deb Hanson has set the goal of 300 books to be sold with a deposit of $1.50 by the middle of Febru-ary. Copy writers have acclaimed the photographic excellence of Engravers' panels will begin writing as soon as proofs are available. Collegiate Digest Shows McCormick In Page Layout A full page layout of Stanley "Mac" McCormick, senior and stu-dent association president, was featured in last week's issue of the Collegiate Digest, national college newspaper supplement distributed weekly on the Augus-tana campus. The magazine fea-tured McCormick as a football player, an amateur poet who has had two poems published in Pasque Petals, S. D. poetry maga-zine; as a math assistant, student, and campus play-boy. Pictures for the layout were taken by campus photographer Howard Olson and the copy was written by Robert Haakenson, Mirror staff member. It is the second time that Au-gustana has had pictures in the Collegiate Digest. Last year the five college glamour girls select-ed for the Pic-Campus contest were pictured in the rotogravure magazine. Glenn Bragstad Three juniors, Glenn Bragstad, Floyd "Baldy" Nelson, and Ken-neth Storsteen, will vie for the presidency of the Augustana stu-dent association when the open-ing guns of campaign week ex- Clifford Olson Receives Honor The reward of the "Order of Merit," an international award given by the University of Oslo to outstanding promoters of Scan-dinavian music, was awarded t. - Prof. Clifford Olson recently for his contribution to the field as a promotor and director of the Nor-wegian Male chorus in Sioux Falls. Prof. Olson has further distin-guished himself as director of the Sioux Valley Singers association and as associate director of the Norwegian National Singers as-sociation. For his master's degree, Prof. Olson wrote on the "Critical An-alysis of the Selected Works of Halfdow Kjerulf,". a noted Nor-wegian composer. in, his grade point average, and the number of hours he is carry-ing. (A word to the wise — the number of major and minor acti-vities are being rigidly enforced —and remember bleow a C grade point average eliminates you.) Of what use is this YOU tuck-ed away in a green file in the personnel office? It is, along with your matriculation record the most important thing you will leave behind you at Augus-tana. It is the only tangible evi-dence of your personality the school has. It is the first place your employer will go when he is considering your application for a job — only recently it was checked by an investigator from Washington, D. C., before grant-ing an FBI position. From this information the advisors can tell if a student is overloaded — if he is working too many hours — help him determine what voca-tion he should follow — in other words it helps the teacher help the student. Among the interesting facts that may be found is the fact that the IQ ranking of Augustana freshmen has steadily increased over a number of years from 107 in 1934 to 112.5 in 1941. The personnel department has visions for even bigger and bet-ter things in the future for YOU with plans for giving a course in personnel work and remodeling the offices to better facilitate per-sonal interviews by advisors. Floyd Nelson plode Thursday in student associ-ation meeting. Heading the Nel-son campaign will be sophomore Don Gross and Senior Norman Severson.
