"The fate of a nation has often depended on the good or bad di gestion of a prime minister.' — r Voltaire By PAT NUTTER tographer, works nine hours a day on the Yearbook. He uses 3000 sheets of film. for LaVie each year. The dark-haired veteran said that a person with a well rounded face, straight nose, and high cheek bones photographs best. He added that women are much harder to photograph than men. "Women are less 'relaxed be fore the camera than men," he said. He added that their hair is harder to pliotograph and they require a variety of poses. There are only a few good \ poses for men. Breon said that coeds ask for more resittings than male stu dents. Of this year's 2210 seniors, 84 students asked for resittings. Sixty of the second sittings were for women. LaVie pictures would be quite different if it weren't for retouch ing, he said. The Penn State Photo -Shop has five retouchers removing blemishes, hair tha- t sticks up, and other unwanted elements that would spoil an otherwise good picture. -' Every photo for LaVie is re touched unless the student misses his deadline or wishes his picture entirely natural. Each retoucher averages 100 negatives a week. • Likes Baby Pictures Breon said that group pictures are not as difficult to take as photographs. This is because groups do not have to be posed and the lighting doesn't have to be changed.• The photographer, who thinks baby pictures are the most fun to - take, became a camera en thusiast wherf: he was 12. The State College native went_ to photography school and then en listed in the Navy during the la§t war: When he was released, he had advanced to chief photog rapher. He returned to State Col lege and bought half of the Penn State Photo Shop. - "We have a tradition for fine Penn State yearbooks and I want to continue it," Breon said.

Annual Carol Sing Will Not Be Held The annual Christmas carol sing sponsored by the Penn State Christian Association and the Music department will not be held this year. Hummel Fishburn, head of the Music department, an d Luther Harshbarger, executive secretary of PSCA, said that a multiplicity of groups had organized carol sings since the time that the orig inal carol sing had been the only one on campus. This led fo the feeling that it was just a "sur plus" program, they said. Harshbarger and Fishburn al so said that since pep rallies had been held in front of Old Main, some of the "pep-rally atmo sphere" had seeped into the au diences at the sings which was "definitely undesirable." Harshbarger said that he would "be happy to' continue the pro gram next year if a desire for that is expressed by the student body."
