PENNSYLVANIA LA Council To Revise 'Lantern' Liberal Arts Student Council decided Monday night to revise the format of The LA Lantern, a publication for Liberal Arts stu dents. Jacqueline Hudgins, editor of the magazine, suggested to the council that the publication be made a literary magazine since student interest in the magazine within the college was at a low ebb last year.
