As has been customary in the past, the news directorate of the Daily Dartmouth changed hands with the last issue before
first semester examinations. The men, all of the Class of 1936, who will be at the helm of the "Oldest College Newspaper in America" for the next year, have survived one of the closest and most able News Board competitions in years. Budd Schulberg, of Los Angeles, Calif., becomes the new Editor-in-Chief. In the editorial department his associates will be Joseph Millimet, of East Orange, N. J., Editorial Chairman; and William J. Minsch Jr., of Montclair, N. J., Editorial Director. The news functions of the paper will be under the direction of S. Dick Dorrance, of New York City, the new Managing Editor, with Frank K. Kappler, of Brooklyn, as News Editor and David E. Scherman, of New Rochelle, N. Y., City Editor.
The outgoing directorate leaves, behind a paper that is considerably different than the sheet they took over a year past. An entire new organization, planned with a view towards more efficiency and yet less arduous work on the part of a few men has been inaugurated in both the editorial and news departments. The editorial column has been enlarged and strengthened, while extensive changes in make-up and headlines have improved the paper's appearance. Most of the credit for the trenchant, yet conservative, editorial policy, as well as for other innovations made during the past year, is due to the retiring Editor, Thomas H. Lane Jr., of Hartford, Conn.
