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.

DIVERSIFIED GROUPS ESTIMATE
WEIGHT OF HUGE EASTER EGG
Thoughtful, calculating persons, as
well as people carefree and with
blank minds are mingling before the
display window of a local confection
ary in an effort to surinise the weight
of an over-sized, elaborately decorat
ed chocolate Easter egg on exhibition
The rortunate individual to guess
nearest the correct poundage will be

One prominent gentleman of the en
gineering faculty stood before the
window yesterday scratching his head.
"By George!" he exclaimed, "if it
is a solid obJect, it will lie no task at
all to calculate its weight by the Ju
dicious use of the slide rule."
To the 'conned professor's chagrin,
ho was informed that the egg was not
solid but that everything contained in
it is a treat for the sweet tooth. De
