The La Vie photo staff has worked out a schedule of from 60 to 70 students a day to be photographed. Only in this way, and with the cooperation of all seniors, can this job be accomplished - - In selecting me .‘ii Wiwin to con tract for this wolit, La Vie otiose the Penn State Photo Shop . . . the only stut.lo in State College equipped to handle the assignment. Senior photo graphs must be taken in 3 by 5 - size, retouched, and printed with a glossy finish for the yearbook. This is the work for which the student pays his $1.50. The only way to cut the cost o f this work would be to cut the quality. No photographer can provide the equipment and time to take four proofs of the specified size, retouch them, and print a glossy copy for any less cost. In addition to this, the La Vie photographer arranges the graduating seniors in their respective schools, and then further divides them int o the page panels To clarify another point . . . it is necessary that one shop do the entire book. No photog rapher can duplicate the style and work of an other. To put out a panel of 21 seniors, as is done on the La Vie page, containing the work of two men would detract greatly from the book. Consequently, in view of the record of five All American awards with the work of the Photo Shop, and their available equipment to do the job, the La Vie has contracted with the Penn State Photo Shop for the pictures of all seniors in the 19411 La Vie is paid tot uy student in his fees during his eight semesters. The proof charge, al though paid directly to the photographer, should properly be considered a part of the student's price for the book. It is the aim of the La Vie staff to put out the best possible La Vie at a reasonable cost to the student. We have made the present arrange ments in an attempt t o fulfill this aim. —A.

A second poster, repeating the information that the exhibition is designed as a friendly gesture to the Pennsylvania German Society, which is holding its annual meeting in Huntingdon, will be placed out on Friday, in the hope that it will remain at least throughout the weekend, when the Board of Directors and perhaps other members of the Society will visit the campus and view the exhibition. —Phillip A.

Lannen, All-College President One Man's Meat Life With Pigeons kly Aaen French Unce again Penn State has hit the pages of the national magazines. Last year it was Professor of Fishology George Harvey's introduction of a course in fly-tying and casting for college credit. Now Physics Professor Henry L. Yeagley has come up with a solution to how pigeons navigate and return home. Realizing how important this discovery is (at least to the pigeons), Collegian sent its feline authority on pigeon culture and bird lore, Phineus T. Glock enspiel, to fin.:; out the inside story of this startling discovery. Mr. Glockenspiel returned with the fol lowing report: Question: How do pigeons find their way home? Answer—That is a good question. Dr. Yeagley's theory is that a pigeon can recognize its home by its characteristic "feel." The "feel" is caused by two forces—magnetic and rotational—which com bine to give a specific effect at any spot on earth. In other words, each pigeon is equipped with a navi gational aid similar to radar. o.—That sounds reasonable but how d o the pigeons feel about Dr. Yeagley's discovery? A.—They're not too happy about it. For years the pigeons had the message-carrying business sewed up but now there's a chance that radar-equipped hawks art:, starlings may muscle in on their trade. "Speedy" Homer, veteran war carrier and president of the American Brotherhood of Pigeon Carriers (CIO) Local 301, told me yesterday as I interviewed him in Old Main Tower that his union was plan ning to prosecute Yeagley as a restraint of trade. "There must be something in the Taft-Hartley Bill to take care of this," he muttered. "FOr years our members have carried messages both in the army and civilian life with very few complaints on our service. So what if we did have trick devices for finding o ur way? That's our busi ness, not Yeagley's. Why pick on us? That's what we want to know!" he exclaimed in disgust. "He's probably a Republican finances by the NAM. Don't worry, John L. and Little Caesar will hear of this!" o.—What does Dr. Yeaaley have to say in defense? A.—Hank claims that his findings will open a completely new field for the pigeons. If they can carry radar sets, why not radios so they can listen to Jim and Jane while they carry their messages? polls have indicated that J and J is - by far the most • - ailar program among the pigeon set.) Then too, ..ders can be received while in flicht, saving many miles of useless flying. Dr. Yeaeley also assured the pigeon lobby that he would do his best to in fluence Washincton to renew the message contract ncteber 31 this satisfy the oicteons? A .--Prirtly. but they still distrust Dr Yetieley for nryina their buciness. Rumor says they will , iron their lawsuit if Yeaeley will auarantee shorter hours nnel more pay (corn) T" , “ , also ask for jet ermiomerit. when available. Edit Shorts HE WHO SEWS ALSO REAPS The Federal government has now stepped into the low hemline controversy with an investigation of that group within the clothing industry which is allegedly conspiring to make long skirts the mode. Seems anti-trust legislation is involved. Something the curb-scraper clique didn't bargain for is taking place. Meanwhile, Penn State women are trending downward to the shoe tops.
