VOL. 25, No. 43 Council Committee Favors Change to Senior 'La Vie' College Governing Body To Consider Plan On Tuesday PRESENT STAFF VOICES APPROVAL OF PROJECT Fourth Year Publication Would Contain Complete Record Of Undergraduates Endorsing the change from a junior to a senior La Vic, the committee ap pointed by Student Council to re port on the status of the yearbook voted, at its meeting Wednesday night, to submit recommendations for a senior annual. Student Council will consider and vote upon the re port Tuesday night. Unanimous approval of the project was voiced by members of the 1930 Lit Vic stall, as well as the members of the committee. A set of recom mendations discussing the problems relating to the change and the rea sons for their decision will accompany the report of the committee. Record of Entire Four Years One of the important factors in fluencing the decision of the commit tee was the fact that a senior year book will give a record of the entire four undergraduate years. Undei the present system the record includes only about two and one-half years. Fees would also be lessened by the publication of a senior book, as only ono copy would be bought. With the senor annual it is necessary to pro- Lure two copies in order to secure a complete record. A senior yearbook would be smaller as it would not contain the records of both the senior and junior classes. This would aid in reducing the costs of publishing the yecord, both from the business sidb — anethe prinag side. No Change in Elections Contrary to the general impression, the committee recommends that the elections be held at the same time. This would mean that as at present elections for the staff of the annual would be held at the end of the soph omore year. This plan would give the editorial' and art staffs two years In which to prepare their material. Under such conditions the committee believes that r better annual could be produced with less strain upon the melabers of the two staffs. Work on a Junior annual piles up on the staff members to the detriment of their scholastic standing, accord ing to the hoard. Members of the present and last year's staffs are of the opinion that a fourth year La Vie would do away with this disadvantage. Plan To Issue Booklet In older to keep intact the record of the class the committee proposes to publish a supplementary record book for the year 1029-30 This pro posal would keep the history of the College recorded in the La Vic as one volume This booklet would be similar in content to the present La Vie, and would do away with one of the ob jections to the change from a junior to a senior yearbook. The commit tee an its report recommends that the present La Vie board be retained as editors of the special booklet. When the question of the change was brought up earlier in the year, F Bruce Baldwin, editor-in-chief of this year's annual, and Henry R. Paul humus, business manager, opposed the move. Them objections have now been removed and they are in favor of the change. At that time they stated that axon siderable loss would be entailed by any change, as contracts had already been signed with publishers for the volume. In addition, a great deal of money had been spent for the early inepatations on the book Coes To Student Council With a senior annual, members of the staff of the psovious year would be nble to aid the stall members in preparing for their publication. This was cited by members of the present staff as one of the important factors governing the change. The proposal will be submitted to the Student Board for their sanction at a meeting Monday night If It is favorably received by them, it will lie discussed and voted upon by Stu dent Council on the following night. Robert R. McKean was chairman of the committee that drew up the recommendations. Other members of that pump were P. Bruce Baldwin, Homy R. Paulhamus, J. Neil Stahley, and Paul S. Williams. , Student opinion seems to favor a senior yearbook, class leaders believe. • ile • •. 4. I wilt stateq it nut ,itatrt ottregtall Saris Mat CRONVN Favors La Vie Change F.
