PAdxE SIX Alumnus Receives Acclaim For Book on Pacific 'Peace' By FRANCES KEENEY “The Leftovers,” a forthcoming hard-hitting, witty report on the Pacilic AFTER the war and on the men who have been waging the peace, by Larry Chervenak, class of ’43, has received wide acclaim among newspaper columnists and writers, reported Marion Publica tions, publishers of the book. Eleanor Roosevelt said of the book, “I think Mr. Chervenak has done a very interesting piece of writing. He has portrayed his characters we 11... .1 feel it should have a wide appeal.” “The Leftovers,” said the pub lishers, is a dynamic report on the first year and a half of “peace” in the Pacific. The book includes 40 stories in which the scene shifts from lonely Tubabao Island to the drunken honky-tonk towns of the Philippines, from a Cavite religi ous festival to an army hospital in Okinawa to the headquarters of the French Indo-Chinese revolu tionists. Chervenak, a former Daily Col legian news editor, refers to the College and its students through out his book. A former Penn State student is the central figure in three yarns written from a Shang hai night club. An article written aboard a destroyer tells the story of a Navy doctor whose decision to practice medicine came while attending the College.
