after noon at the february business meeting the board considered an amendment to the constitution which provided for this new office and also the advisability of chang ing the name of the brown and white the managing editor might be styled the news editor and will determine the news policy of the paper these duties which formerly were vested in the editor in-chief and assistant editors are now assumed by the new officer in the future the editor-in-chief will control the editorial policy of the paper and conduct competitions for editorial positions on the board he will retain his present duties as president of the board considering the duties of the edi tor-in-chief too weighty and also to give him more time to formulate the editorial policy this change was made heretofore he has been the assignment editor in combination with these other duties now at the last regular meeting in march when the election takes place the assistant editors are voted upon by members of the board to become editor-in-chief or managing edlitor by this method experienced men succeed to the highest editorial po sitions in the past one of the assistant editors has gone back to a position as reporter with the title of associate editor in this position his past experience is lost but by the new arrangement it is placed to some use by further developing it at the meeting held wednesday afternoon f w hukill 18 was elected editor-in-chief l c fen stermacher 18 to the new position of managing editor and f d nawrath 19 and r w ludlow 19 assistant editors , for some time the brown and white board has been considering the matter of changing the name of the paper although the name ' ' brown and white ' ' has prevailed since the founding of the paper in 1894 it is felt that lehigh's news paper along with other colleges should bear a name less indicative of a preparatory institution in addition it is urged that a name which of itself announces by what institution the paper is published is much to be preferred to one of which this is not true and to one which several high schools bear ex amples of a more specific name are suggested by the cornell sun tale new.s columbia spectator the pennsylvanian the princetonian and the buchnellian while the board thinks a step such as this advisable it would wel come any opinions or suggestions on the matter it believes that every subscriber every student and every alumnus feels an interest in this matter and the board is highly de sirous for their opinions and sug gestions in view of the approaching dances during junior week the prom committee wishes to call at tention to a detail which should be given attention the chaperones who attend the dance are doing a favor to the class and to every one who attends the function very of ten they are neglected not inten tionally but carelessly according ly the committee requests that special pains be taken by every one who attends the dance to arrange programs for the chaperones pre vious experiences have shown that this attention is very much appre ciated by the ladies the committee are you a square peg in a round hole is the title of an in teresting article appearing in the american magazine for april writ ten by herman schneider 94 mr j schneider is dean of the school of engineering at the university of \ cincinnati at which place he inau gurated the system of co-operative study in this article dean schnei der says in part : there is a new psychology of w r ork one of its most inspiring principles is that the man who makes a failure on one job is likely to make a success of the job of an opposite type assuming of course that he fails in the face of real effort this is the significance of failure ; it points the way to an oc cupation which means success fail ure at one job is not a calamity it is an indication every failure is a guide-post to success two boys came into our co-op erative course together they were of the same age both unusually bright both decidedly of a me chanical bent one of them was put to work in a railroad shop the other at a lathe in a manufacturing shop the duties of the first boy were ever varying he had to keep mind and body on the jump the duties of the other boy were uni form and repetitive both of them were dissatisfied and began to slump in their work the student in the railroad shop was slow in getting his mind adapted to new circumstances the one at the lathe on the contrary had the type of mind that grasps things quickly that revels in kaleidoscopic varia tion so we had them exchange jobs both then did excellent work for the rest of the course every individual has certain general traits every kind of work had certain general characteristics the problem is to interpret the traits of the individual classify the characteristics of the job and then guide the individual into the job for which he is supremely fitted this is the one real employment problem there are very many human characteristics but there are a few broad and general ones which fre quently make for success of failure there is a type of man who wants to get on the same car every morn ing get off at the same corner go to the same shop ring up at the same clock stow his lunch in the same locker go to the same machine and do the same class of work day after day another type of man would go crazy under this routine he wants to move about meet new people see and do things the first is settled the second is roving the first might make a good man for a shop manufacturing a standard product the second might make a good railroad man or a good out door carpenter certain men blend into any en vironment adapt themselves to any emergency set off against them is the man w t ho never gives to en vironment or emergency who is bound up in his own inflexible ways the first type produces ex cellent salesmen ; the second splen continued on fifth page the following men have been ap pointed in the respeetiye courses to collect the junior class dues
