ar. yrauwaxeu. in order to have the Ib4d La Vie
avaixadie by June, the deadline for the entire
book has been moved up into December for
this year becst- , - the uncertain printing
wubt students
g,caduating in their seventh semester, must be pho
tographed between now and December. 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.

Letters
Missing Memento
'lO .".e German department, and
especially those memueis who have sacrificed much
valuable time to arrang e the current Pennsylvania
German exhibition in tne Library, are grateful that
the results of their labors have been so greatly
appreciated that the poster describing the exhibi
tion was removed as a memento.
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.

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.

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.
