THURSDAY, m iUARY 5. 1959 —Collegian Photo by Ron Kerr OPERATING NEW SCAN-A-GRAVER, Collegian photographer Marly Scherr places a sheet of plastic used to make plates, while Photo Editor Bob Thompson inserts a picture on the right drum of the machine. Tl|e new engraving machine went int<j) use this week. Collegian Photo Staff Gets New Helper By 808 THOMPSON Collegian Photography Editor “Index the stylus, adjust the black, turn up the whites and /lick the cylinder engage switch.” By following these simple instructions The Daily Collegian began producing its own half-tone engravings this week. By leasing its own photo-engraving machine, known as a Scan-a-Graver, the Collegian is able to offer its readers more pictures of better quality at less' cost. "Bartleli," as the Scan-a-Gra ▼er is known to the members of the photo staff, works on the same principle as the auto matic supermarket door with an electric eye. Only instead of opening the door of The Daily Collegian, Bart lett's eye traces prints and etches the image on a sheet of clear blue plastic. The plastic “plate” is then mounted directly on the printing press. By making its own engravings, Collegian will be able to elimin ate its 10 p.m. picture deadline. To Collegian readers, this means seeing on Saturday morning the crowning of prom queens that were crowned at 11:00 Friday night. It also means that readers will be able to see more sports pic tures taken during the second half of basketball games or late intramural contests. Tho hcan-a-Graver also en ables Collegian photographers to give readers a more compre hensive coverage of events. The cost of engravings in the past has made more complete photo coverage impossible. Bartlett also offers its "masters” —members of the Board of Ad vanced Photographers—a chance to learn how to make engravings by the same process used in hun dreds of newspapers across the nation. l TEXTS : In Stock For i i Musk 5, i, 80 j [ Music Ed 40 ani 41 i SHADLE I ASSOCIATES 151 SO.
