Brooks Announces
New, Final LaVie
Arrive Soon
Post-War Volume Will
Include Duration Grads
"Some time in September" is
the approximate time when' the
n , v.r and final LaVie is scheduled
to arrive, Rozanne Brooks, editor
iu chief, announced yesterday.
Wartime business at the printers
leas postponed the dates of pub
lication several times, she ex
plained.
Information and material for the
yearbook was gathered and assem
bled before the close of last semes
ter in order that members Of the
class who were graduated early
, and those who left for the armed
forces might be included in the
book.
Rounding out 57 years of publi
cation, the next LaVie will not
tome out until after the war be
cause of the price and scarcity of
materials, such as paper and film,
that are needed for the book.
For the duration, staff members
will keep a card catalogue of in
:formation about each graduate and
with the first post-war volume of
the book will be printed a supple
mentary issue containing all dura
tion graduates and activities, Miss
Brooks announced.
Miss Brooks explained yesterday
that this year's book will be given
to all those students whose pic
tures appear in the volume. Those
graduating in February will be in
cluded in the wartime publication.
Coincident with the first post
ponement of its publication over a
)ong period was the election of
LaVie's first woman editor.
Good Sight Becomes
Mental Matter, Ewalt
Tells Vision Specialists
• To adapt our vision to the• tasks
of present-day civilization, new
concepts of• seeing • must be de
veloped, Dr. H. Ward Ewalt, Jr.,
of Pittsburgh today told vision
specialists who have registered at
the College for a special two
weeks' short course on new tech
niques of visual re-education:
• This is the first time that such
a course has ever been offered
- anywhere in the United States.
"We must give people a.differ-•
ent conception of vision than in
the past," Dr. Ewalt said. "The
old idea of eye defects or weak
muscles as the callse of poor vi
sion in the healthy eye is out.
"Most people have normal
eyes," he said. "They can't see
well because they have never
learned to see well. "The skill
with which they use their eyes
determines how well they see, he
stated.
"We really see with our brain,"
Dr. Ewalt emphasized. "The eye
merely transforms light waves
into nerve impulses so that the
brain can use them," he added.
Dr. Ewalt believes that we
learn to see much as we learn to
play the piano. In order to im
prove vision, the brain must be
re-educated and taught better
seeing patterns, just as, in piano
playing, the brain must be taught
the proper way to activate the
lingers in complicated musical
Patterns.
It is the job of the brain to in
nervate the muscles in such a way
that they will work properly to
gether. Better seeing comes when
the brain is taught how to do this
Dr. Ewalt stressed.

resentatives have expressed the
desire of the coeds they represent
once more. These coeds have
agreed to a suggestion that a Red
Cross chapter be organized on
campus.
The work of this chapter will
supplement duties done by the
women involved in town Red
Cross activities. In. this manner,
coeds can take care of minor de
tails • which would consume time
needed by town women who are
active in Red Cross work.
However, the act and the 'word
are two entirely different, and
sometimes incompatible, things.
Coeds have gone all out for many
activities in word, and the pro
jects have been empty boxes in
sofar as actual effort has been con
cerned.
Penn State women pledged their
wholehearted cooperation when
surgical dressings classes were
started on campus. Every Wednes
day night finds a skeleton crew

Penn State women 'have criti

voting time is nigh, a substantial
minority trots up to the polls. In
fact, their laxity is so consistent
and so obvious that instance after

THE COLLEGIA:g
instance could be quoted to prove
a point that needs no clarification.
The Red Cross unit should be
one of the' biggest undertakings
that has hit coeds in a long time.
What will their attitude be?
Will they stand by what they
have said and lend a little support
to a worthy cause? Or will the
Red Cross chapter die the death
of an outmoded speech expression?
The course of action is so very
clear. Other colleges have success
fully sponsored programs of this
sort. Other colleges have entered
enthusiastically into many war
programs. Other schools have had
tightly organized cooperation.
Of one thing we can all be sure.
With the accelerated program,
women can say, and rightly so,
that they are more busy with less
hours and credits on their study
schedules.
But, a one hundred per cent
effort will cut the work of every
woman interested in this Red
Cross work into an insignificant
fraction of what it would be if the
usual response is 'the result of the
Red Cross call. And the finished
product will be much more im
pressive.
