Sun-tanning while waiting for their turn in the air tin Organization of numerous courses connected with Civilian Defense and the national war effort has just begun on the Normal campus. One course, however, has been offered for two years and, to show the degree to which the college has entered the world conflict, we have selected this course for explanation. Not including the seventh class of the Aviation course (now in session), one hundred and fifty students have completed primary training at the Municipal Airport of t • 1 u r ♦ • . • the city of Natchitoches, and, of the number that have completed the semester-long course, seventy percent have volunteered for the air forces of the nation. Of that seventy percent, nine out of ten are now active in the Air Corps of the armed forces. The percentage that has been set by this one course should be a goal for other units in their work on the campus. [20]

Brothers Charles and Paul Stahls, Current Sauce Editor and Business Manager. The 1942 Pctpvurri The yearbook of Louisiana State Normal, carrying the title The Potpourri, is issued to the students shortly before the end of the Spring semester, and, in each issue, attempts to place before the students a recount of that particular year, so that they may in later years refresh the memories of the college at which they pre- pared for their life ' s work. We, the editor and staff of the 1942 Potpourri, hope that when each student reviews this annual in later times he will offer to himself the decision that a success- fully complete pictorial story appears before him. Tke Current Sauce The Current Sauce, official publication of the stu- dent body and of the Alumni Association, is a weekly four-page newspaper edited on the campus and oper- ating under the motto: Here shall the press the stu- dents ' rights maintain, unawed by influence and unbribed by gain. Editor Stahls, after completing half his term in office, appointed Sam Kendrick and Louise Hawkins co-editors, since his resignation to join the armed forces left that position vacant. With the opening of the Fall semester, the paper ' s format was changed from its customary seven-column size to the more modern five-column tab- loid style. Editor Kent Buckingham 121 1
