at ufltceot'tiie south bediicheiti tar by robert f herrick it was tuesday and it was jan 16 as a matter of fact it must have been about this hour . . . but it was 40 years ago that the first brown and white appeared on the lehigh campus conceived after months of secret sessions published with painstaking effort the first four-page issue was launched in the hope of serving a new purpose that of giving all the lehigh news — first forty years to the day have passed reflecting progressive im provement over that period the an niversary issue of the brown and white is published in honor of those first editors and their successors through the years presented after several weeks of cooperative effort published with modern methods this 24-page edi tion marks the success of the brown and white in bringing the lehigh news first through a period of four decades no small amount of the progress made by the brown and white through the years may be credited to improvements in the mechanical field of publishing first issues set by hand set by hand in a small printing shop the first issues were typical of days when the editors rushed to the shop on the morning of publication and dictated to the printer the news of the day even news prepared in advance was written in long hand subject to the interpretation of the type-setter today the brown and white is organized into classes where ma terial is properly edited and copy read in a modern laboratory under professional guidance thirty type writers serve reporters in prepar ing legible accounts of the news in their districts final preparation of the news for printing is completed by use of the linotype incorporat ing speed into the process of pub lication on the original staff of 14 rested the preparation of the early issues of the brown and white every task from the soliciting of advertis ing to the gathering of news was their problem competitors for po sitions on the paper tried their skill in a year-round try-out articles signed with names ranging from chrysanthemum to uncas bear witness to their efforts present staff numbers 96 the present staff of the brown and white numbering 96 includes 70 men whose task is the gathering and editing of the news in place of anonymous and lengthy competi tions for staff positions the brown and white man of today works to successively higher positions through a system of written and practical examinations almost scientific in character the appearance of the brown and white as it was published for the first time featuring small headlines no pictures and few display adver tisements was quite correct accord ing to the newspaper dictates of the late 19th century it was not until the spanish-american war that the metropolitan dailies themselves continued on page twenty-four dawn to dusk flights without loss in time or money to business concerns is our goal stated t park hay in his talk on air trans portation in the new era last night in packard laboratory the talk was sponsored by sigma xi national honorary research society mr hay who is affiliated with the transcontinental western air way corporation pointed out the remarkable headway made in air transportation in both commercial and passenger service in the past ten years he stated that 40 per cent of modern air transportation is carried on at night this fact enables the business man to leave his office aft er closing time take a plane and ar rive at his destination before the next morning airways have done more to pro mote good will among foreign countries than any other means of transportation a plane can leave new york city and will be in the northern part of venezuela within 24 hours this tends to do away with correspondents and allows di rect communication between bus iness concerns in foreign countries he continued it will be a tremen dous stimulus to trade first attempt in 1911 in 1911 continued mr hay c p rodgers made the first attempt at a transcontinental flight it took him three days and ten hours to fly 4,321 miles today regular flights are made on 17 and 18 hour schedules he said that the average cruising speed of these planes is between 180 and 190 miles per hour and that the fine network of flying fields enables these planes to run between cities in a short time the mortality in passenger ser vice has greatly decreased in the past ten years he stated in 1927 the planes flew two million passeng er miles for each mortality while in 1933 they flew 39 million miles for each mortality air service he con tinued is becoming much safer with the advent into aviation of new stormy weather instruments and series of beacon lights between landing fields the speed and danger elements have been decreased mr hay pointed out the relation between peacetime aviation and aviation as a national defense the whole country he went on to say is surrounded by landing fields there are over 800 commercial planes that can be immediately converted into war crafts in case of emergency and the fields which are both privately and commer cially owned can be used as air plane bases in an instant's notice u s lags in transportation the united states is far in ad vance of the leading european countries in all but the transporta tion of merchandise mr hay cited this is due he said mainly to the fact that these countries carry on most of their flying in the daytime and do not put emphasis on trans portation at night during the past year he said mail planes in this country flew 33 million miles congress feels that air mail ser vice in this country is highly subsi dized stated mr hay he proved by means of a diagram that of the total expenditure on mail service only 2.5 cents out of every dollar spent by the government for the upkeep of the mail service is used for air mail he said that the com panies are trying to set a rate for commercial transportation that will not be restricted but will be small enough to suit the needs of every one money he said is the one thing continued on page twenty-four in one of the most clearcut cases of plagarism uncovered here in re cent years the university disciplin ary committee convicted an un named sophomore last friday and sentenced him to one year's suspen sion from school and permanent disciplinary probation when and if he returns the student had been caught copying magazine article material into his impromptu themes by an instructor in english 1 according to dean c m mcconn he had re served an entire notebook for the clippings from which he copied and used copious sections of it in his own writings the dean said after being apprehended the plagiarist made a complete confes sion the dean's statement contin ued and admitted having stolen the published opinions of promient men for several articles in addition to the one which led to his discovery his motive was probably based on laziness according to the dean who quotes the student as saying i did it because it saved me a lot of thinking when the disciplinary committee had heard the case in dean mcconn's office and present ed a decision the student left school this is the third case of dishon esty to come before the committee on discipline since the attempted robbery in the alumni memorial building in november the other two which involved cheating in 15 minute quizzes given by the biology and education departments were dismissed with the imposition of forced withdrawal from the course in commenting on these cases of dishonesty dean mcconn stated although they still turn up at in tervals i believe practices of the sort are being carried on much less at present than in past years at any rate whenever we learn stu dents are cheating we deal with them to the limit of the school's policy in such matters where punishment for malfeas ance is concerned lehigh holds to middle ground the dean says in some schools expulsion would im mediately follow discovery of a cheat in others it would be treat ed lightly the above
