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. The au
