BUSY PSYCHOLOGIST:
'U' Professor Named Head
Of National Association
By DEBRA DURCHSLAG
The American Psychological As-
sociation comes to Michigan for
the second consecutive year by
choosing as its new president-elect
Prof. Theodore M. Newcomb.
The easy-mannered psychologist
will be the first president of the
Association who is also a sociolo-
gist. He teaches classes in both the
psychology and sociology depart-
ments; and directs the doctoral
program in social psychology.
Crowded Schedule
Despite a busy schedule which
often forces him to sandwich ap-
pointments in on Saturday after-
noons or during his walk home,
Prof. Newcomb remains one of the
friendliest people on campus. Part
of this may be due to a keen sense
of humor, which is likely to pop
out at any time.
When talking about the APA,
however, Prof. Newcomb becomes
*,quite serious. He will not assume
office until 1955, giving him a year
"'as an apprentice president." Un-
til that time, he will be in close
contact with Prof. E. Lowell Kelly,
director of the Bureau of Psycho-
logical Services here and= current
president of the Association.
Psychology Broadens Aims
The scope of the APA, Prof.
Newcomb explained, has been
° broadened considerably in the di-
rection of practical psychology
since the Association's formation
in 1892, when interest was pri-
marily theoretical.
At that time its constitution put
the APA on record as an associa-
tion to "advance psychology as a
science" period. "Now," said Prof.
Newcomb turning to the APA di-
rectory," the period has been
' changed to a comma and we in-
clude the aims of 'advancement
as a profession and as a means
of promoting human welfare.' "
Today the American Psychologi-
PROF. THEODORE NEWCOMB
cal Association numbers some 13,-
000 and is growing at the rate of
about 1,500 a year. It has come a
long way from the initial group of
about thirty professors who
thought of the field as limited to
theory and research.
Active Career
Prof. Newcomb's own career,
like that of the APA, indicates the
place of psychology among the
practical sciences. Graduating
from Oberlin College in Ohio, he
went on to Columbia for his PhD.
The next years found Prof.
Newcomb teaching psychology. At
Bennington he conducted a much
quoted study of changes in student
political attitudes, and during the
war he was chief of the Analysis
Division of the Foreign Broadcast
Intelligence Service.
This is by no means a complete
list of his accomplishments, which
should include a widely-used text-
book on social psychology and at
the present time work on an ex-
perimental house.
Editors Set
Free Press
Association
Twenty-four college editors from
all parts of the country, meeting
at the National Student Congress
this summer, have organized an
independent national group to
meet the problem of censorship in
the student press.
Called the National Association
for a Free College Press, the new
group hopes to provide a mechan-
ism for investigation of alleged
breaches of editorial freedom in
the college press, and for report-
ing its findings thorughout the
country.
The group has been organized
with a ten-member national exec-
utive committee, representing
wide geographic distribution of
college weeklies and dailies. Daily
Managing Editor, Gene Hartwig,
'55, was named chairman of ,the
new group at the August 22-31
meeting.
Plans call for the Association to
enlist a group of leading profes-
sional editors and publishers
throughout the country as an ad-
visory board to the national or-1
ganization.
Emphasis of the Association's'
investigating procedure would be
on a quick, thorough and objective
examination of the alleged viola-
tion.
The new group believes that the
censoring agency, whether it be
student government, university ad-
ministration or some outside group
directly influencing an adminis-
tration, would be highly sensitive
to the prospect of having its ac-
tivity reported throughout the
country with resultant national
publicity.
General aim of the Association+
is to impose higher standards of
integrity and good taste on the!
student press by making it more
keenly aware of its grave respon-
sibilities.

SL Exchange
Exceeds '53
Sales Record
The Student Legislature Book
Exchange passed the $6700 mark
in sales yesterday to surpass by
over $1200 the fall semester rec-
ord set one year ago.
The Exchange, located in the
quonset hut near Waterman gym,
is expected to break the all-time
mark of $7300 reached last Feb-
ruary.
According to Harvey F reed, as-
sistant director of the Exchange,
there are still plenty of books re-
maining on the shelves. He also
emphasized that books are still
being accepted at the quonset hut
tory and a $1,000,000
nuclear re-I
actor before the year is out, fur-
ther enlarging North Campus.
The new campus already houses
the Mortimer E. Cooley Memorial
Laboratory, erected at a cost of
$1,000,000 and now in operation,
and the Phoenix Memorial Lab-
oratory, now under construction,
a building estimated to be worth
$1,200,000.
Proposal Made
A proposal was made last fall
by Michigan industries to supply
a large number of research pro-
jects if the University's present
engineering facilities were expand-
ed. The automotive industry was
primarily interested in the devel-
opment of a modern automotive
laboratory to replace the one
which is now used.
Although the University was
one of the first Midwestern insti-
tutions to grant a degree in engi-
neering, the physical growth of
the Engineering College drew no
special attention until the recent
north campus.construction.
The University's West Engineer-
ing Building was constructed in'
1902, and the East Engineering
Building in 1923. One of the oldest
buildings on campus, a small build-
ing constructed in 1885 near the
West Engineering Building is used
fo ran automotive laboratory.
Rapid Progress
Despite the lack of physical fa-
cilities, the University's research
program in engineering has pro-
gressed rapidly. In 1920 the En-
gineering Research Institute was
started under the direction of Prof.
See NEW 'U' BUILDINGS, pg. 23
Albert E. White. Last year the in-
stitute did more than $8,000,000
worth of business, with its pro-
gram being carried out largely in
buildings hurriedly erected during
the war near the Willow Run Air-
port.
With the construction on North
Campus, the College of Engineer-
ing's present physical plant on the
main campus will be almost doub-
led.
Engineers Needed
As engineers are in great de-
mand today, industry is ready to
take in the nation's college engi-
neering graduates with tempting
offers. A starting salary of be-
tween $350 and $400 a month on
a training program is not unusual.
Some students are known to get
jobs paying up to $600 monthly,
immediately after graduation.
Jet propulsion and nuclear sci-
ence have opened up further fields
in engineering when vast horizons
were arising in areas of engineer-
ing already well known.
The University's present enroll-
ment in the College of Engineer-
ing is about 2,000. As future stu-
dents become aware of the oppor-.
tunities in engineering and as the
University's physical facilities ex-
pand, a future enrollment of 5,000
is expected.
