' The newly ador - Aid plan his been strongly advocated for the past sev eral years by students believing the wits of a senior yearbook outweigh ed arguments for, a junior annual. tinder the new system, the entire four year history will be recorded, instead of the two and one-half year Wien of the junior La Vie. Hereto fore, Students desiring their entire col lege record were obliged to purchase two copies. Under the new plan, one 14 Vie will suffice. With elections -in the sophomore Year, the staff will be given twice as long to make up,the book. This will enable a more deliberate Compilation, and permit more timely accounts. The newly-elected staff will be aided by,the ;Seceding staff acting in an advisory capacity. The plan adopted Tuesday night was first proposed last spring by Charles C. Berryhill, editor of the 1928 year book, and John W, Brandt, editor of the - fa Vie of the . present senior class. At the beginning of last semester it was endorsed by Graduate Manager of Athletics Nell M. Fleming and .1. Neil Stabley, junior class president. Hr. Fleming declared that it would not prove detrimental from a financial standpoint. Publish Senior Reeord The plan was proposed to Student Board 'shortly afterward.' The lone objection this group raised was that II would interrupt the class histories Which had been continuous since the Oat La Vie was published in 1889. Mils objection was removed when the luggestion was advanced that a book let containing senior year records of the class of 1930 could be published in addition to the La Vie. Student Council voted unanimously to retain the 1930 La Vic but recom mended that an investigation be con digtal to determine the advisability 6t a senior yearbook.
