rector of placement, over 200 re
presentatives of business and industry-
visited the campus to in
terview students for employment
during' the school year 1950-51. In
addition, .547 job opportunities
were reported to his office by
mail or telephone.
For students who registered
with the Placement Service last
year, approximately 1900 employ
er interviews were arranged and
over 1200 personnel records were
mailed to prospective employers.
Only 9 of last year's grad
uates' who registered with the
Placement Service entered mili
tary service immediately follow
ing graduation. Since many or
ganizations are interviewing
promising college graduates re
gardless of draft status, non-veterans
are urged to complete regis
tration for placement while in
school.
In order of greatest demand,
employer requests (10 or more)
last year were as follows: sales
and retailing, general business,
accounting, chemistry physics,
production, personnel, mathema
tics, banking, and statistics. Sev
eral of these fields required grad
uate study or experience.
Mr. Galloway emphasizes that
the Placement Survey card sub
mitted by seniors during the fall
quarter does not constitute regis
tration with his office. To be
registered for Placement, a stu
dent must complete a set of forms
requiring, in addition to personal
data, confidential faculty ratings,
transcript of courses and grades,
and 'photographs. "This file is
permanent," Mr. .Galloway ex
plained. "It is the basis for sup

Coeds have more room, this
quarter than in the fall. Many
three occupant rooms have been
converted to ;two. The housing
situation is described as good by
the dean of students office. Ac
cording to Wadsworth, however,
coed enrollment is limited because
of dormitory space. Undergrad
uate coeds must live on campus.
A new address form Jhas been
adopted for students changing
their address. These should be
turned in to the Housing office
second floor, New East annex,' as
soon as the new address is known.
For emergency purposes "a record
of student addresses is kept in
the Housing office, the YMCA, or

To End Puzzle
St. Louis, Mo.-(IP) The typical
graduate of many universities to
day is completely confused be
cause most institutions of higher
learning have either a very vague
philosophy of education or else
admit they do not know their ob
jectives and are seeking a phil
osophy of education by the trial-and-error
process, according to
the Very Rev. Paul C. Reinert,
S J., president of St. Louis Uni
versity. "The graduates may Jiave a
mind filled with facts of all kinds, .
but he has no norms, no means by
which he can evaluate his own
actions and those of his fellow
men," he said. "Only a univer
sity which has a correct evalua
tion of the nature and purpose of
the individual and his place in
society can offer any solution to
the momentous problems which
face us today."

Jordan Is Author Of Book He
Gairf"
A University of North Caro
lina professor is the author of a
book he can't read.
He is Dr. A. M. Jordan, pro
fessor of educational psychology
in the University of North Caro
lina, and the latest edition of one
of his books, "Educational Psy
chology," is written in Japanese.
The volume is concerned with
the principles of psychology as
applied to teacher-training.
Dr. Jordan has just received a
copy of the new edition published
in Japan for use in schools in
that country. No student of
Japanese but aware that reading
is up and down and from right to
left, Dr. Jordon soon found his
photograph printed irf the back
instead of the front of the book.
His introductory statement came
before his photograph on the next
to the last page.
The Japanese characters take
so much more space to print that
"Educational Psychology' took
two volumes in Japan instead of
Dr. Jordan's modest one volumei
His signature was printed ver
tically, with the capital "M." be
low the capital "A. But Jordan
was written in Japanese. In most
of the charters the numerals were
written in Arabic.
Dr. Jordan in his introductory
statement said it was his wish
"that the teachers of Japan, in
realizing that the learning pro
cess is the same everywhere, will
recognize more clearly that the
problems of education are uni
versal and be imbued with the
ideal that men of good will in
all places are embarked on the
same undertaking."
Explaining the purpose of his
book, he said that "educational
psychology has as its major goals
the understanding and motiva
tion of children . . . By emphasiz
ing the discovery of children's
interests and by aiding these
capacities to grow and expand
into desirable habits, attitudes
and.-' ideals, educational psycho
logy points the way to the deve
lopment of well-rounded person
alities." " .
"Educational Psychology," an
outstandingly successful textbook,
was first printed by Henry Holt
company, in 1928 and revised in
1942. Dr. Jordan is now at work
on another revision. Ten thou
sand copies were sold the first
year, and 12,000 in the third
edition. ' -
It was published in Tokyo this
fall by Chukyo Shuppan Sha,
publishing company of which Ken
Inaba is managing editor. The
book was translated by Takayuki
Shirane, a graduate of Kyusha
University and now executive
director of the Japan Maritime
Boy Scouts. Mr. Shirane has also
translated such works as "History
of German Educational Philoso
phy" and "Introduction to Ed
ucational Philosophy
Among some of the Japanese
company's other published works
are "Industrial Research," by
F. Russell Bichowsky; "The- Life
of Science," by George Sarton;
"Lives," by Gustav Eckstein, and
"Little House on the Prairie," by
Laura Ingalls Wilder. It specia
lizes in textbooks for elementary
and junior high school pupils.
A native of Somerton, Va., Dr.
Jordan took his A. B. at Ran
dolph Macon, his A. M. 'at Duke,
and his Ph. D. at Columbia. He,
was a member of the faculty of
the University of Arkansas from
1914-23 and has served here at
North Carolina since then. He also
taught at the Columbia ari&l
Northwestern summer sessions.
His other books incliide
"Children's Interest in Reading,
"Manual of Experiments in Ed
ucational Psychology," "Objective
Tests in Education and Psycho
logy," and "How to Study."
