Duff '43, present editor of the College's yearbook. .Edited by Joseph T. Reichwein '42, the 1942 LaVie was one of_six college yearbooks to be selected for the outstanding honor from the class of colleges and univer sities which have 5,000 or more students enrolled. This is the second time in a period of eight years that LaVie has been awarded the rating, the first honors being won by the 1934 LaVie, which was edited by William Steigtneier. Rated on a basis of a possible 1,380 points, which were applied to various factors including cover design, page design, selection of print, feature sections, color ef fects and the like, the 1942 LaVie scored 1,300 points, one of . the highest scores given by the press association. This year's LaVie has almost been completed, most of it already sent to the printers in Williams port. However, Duff said, stu dents should not expect to receive their copies of the yearhook until December ...as the printing process is one that requires much time.

Army Refuses Lion Unit Symbol _ Penn State flying units in the Army Air .Corps are out. Word from Lieut. Col. A. S. :Barnhart yesterday stated that such units could npt be made part of the Air Force plan. The letter, which .came .to Prof. Robert E. Galbraith; faculty serv ice advisor,' was the answer to a request that a streamlined form of the mythologiCal half-eagle half-lion being, the• griffin, be used as the insigniaS of such units if they could be formed. The streamlined griffin was de signed by Heinz Warneke while he was on the campus carving the Lion Shrine. Colonel Barnhart stated, "I am sure that you will agree with me that if the Air Forces were com posed of a Penn State Flyers Unit, a Bu'clsnell Unit, a Pitt Unit, and a Penn Unit, there would be a local fight before we ever got into the big one." He added that the matter had been forwarded to General Ar mild who had turned down several former requests of the same kind. He also pointed out that the sys tem of squadrons, wings, and gfoups makes things complicated without addition of others. Weather PRICE: THREE CENTS Officers.
