For the duration, it is to be regarded as a normal and not a special program of study. Saturday, May 2, 1942 Match It If Yon Can Receiving high acclaim after being reviewed by prominent Eastern publishers, Penn State’s 1942 La Vie will be distributed to seniors on Monday. “It’s the best one I’ve ever seen,” re marked one well-known critic, “and I’ve been around to watch 35 of them roll off the presses.” In keeping with general trends, this year’s La Vie strikes an informal tone that will probably Bet a precedent for the style of La Vie during the next few years. Not only is it to be com mended for its informality, but also for its ex tensive treatment of the School sections. But, the 1942 La Vie will speak for itself. It is not necessary to say that the five full-color pages will bring back a striking, yet true, picture of Penn State as you knew it in the Spring of 1942. Again, there is no need to say that the cover, which portrays a group of white Nittany Lions on a bright blue background, is among the best because of artistic simplicity. Despite its excellence in simplicity, informal ity, and color, the 1942 La Vie will mean no more to each senior than it did in past years. Instead, the real Value of every La Vie may be summed up in a little incident as told recently by the publisher. A number of years ago, a student was forced to discontinue his college education during the senior year, and although he received a La Vie, bis picture was not included in the senior section along with all the classmates he had known for more than three years. Naturally, the student was disappointed; but bis disappointment was small in comparison with ■that of his parents, who had hoped to see their son graduate. Several years later-, the La Vie was returned to the publishing house with an unusual request to reprint one of the pages in order to include a certain picture in the senior section. This was done, and the book was mail ed to the parents with “sincerest regards from a son who almost graduated.” For The Navy Realizing that many college students are now affiliated with some branch of the Naval service, 'the Navy Relief Society is launching plans to conduct a fund campaign which will be directed toward all parts of the nation, including Penn Side. Paced with a great emergency, and convinced that the needs will be larger and more urgent in the months to come, this Society has authorized ii national appeal for funds for the first time in its history. The goal is $5,000,000 and all funds are being administered.by the Board of the So 'icicty. The purpose behind the Society is this: no Navy man, no widow, no orphaned children, no mother or other member of a Navy man’s family jsh.all suffer hardship if it can be prevented. “This country is now engaged in the greatest .naval war in its history,” according to Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, “and in one day at Pearl Harbbr, more Naval casualties were inflict ed than were suffered by the Navy during tire Hp mish-American War and the World War com bined.” Scores of Penn State students, including Wing lof the “Flying Nittanv Lions." will soon’be ac tively involved in the nation's naval war with ■the Axis. Here’s a real chance for Pena State •to help its men in tbs service. Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St. Phone 4372 Paul I. Woodland .Milton Dolinnet June H. Murphy Seymour Rosenberg Louia* H.
