Other Changes PossibleLast month, at the regular faculty

meeting, a committee under DeanHarrison was appointed to studyand recommend changes to thefaculty. Last Wednesday at thismonth's regular meeting, the fac-ulty discussed the recommendationsof the committee. According to Mr.MacKinnoxn, registrar, the recom-mendations of that committee werecomprised mainly of the alreadystated changes. However, manyother courses of action were pro-posed for further study and possibleadoption next year. Possibly nextyear fewer quizzes will be given incalculus, physics and chemistry.Other possibilities include changesin athletics, the total freshmanload, and fewer homework hours.

Saturday Classes

The question of Saturday classesfor the freshman and sophomoreclasses was discussed, and it was de-cided that no changes were possiblein this respect. It was agreed, how-ever, that junior, senior and grad-uate schedules would contain asfew Saturday classes in the sched-ule as is possible.

Although only a few changes arebeing made at the present time int~hp frpOhmnn emhdllv cro

members of the faculty still ex-pressed dissatisfaction with thefreshman load, and more changesmay be imminent next year.

For Judiciary Com.Students for StassenConstitution Tabled

Recommendation that a studentJudiciary Committee be set up toact on matters such as Harvard raidlast fall was made to the InstituteCommittee Wednesday.

It was further recommended thatall old regulations concerning off-campus conduct be rescinded andbe replaced by one all-inclusive reg-ulation such as: Each student isexpected to maintain himself in amanner which is in good taste withaccepted standards and whichshows good Judgment.

The M.I.T. Students for StassenConstitution was tabled ri Flninogfurther investigation to see whetherit resembled the Students for Wal-lace Constitution. As such politicalactivities are setting a precedent atTechnology, the further stipulationthat the officers be undergraduateswas desired.

The following officers for theBeawver Key Society have beenelected by the Society and approvedby the Institute Committee: Presi-dent, Eugene M. Wroblewski, '49;Vice President, William P.

Newsprint was literally worth itsweight in gold in the E-22 class ofInstructor C. Conrad Wright lastWednesday. At that time, 11 Copiesof a reprint of a November, 1947,issue of the newspaper PM devotedto a report of the President's com-mittee on Civil Rights sold for anaverage of 40 cents per copy.

After Mr. Wright saw that thedemand for copies of the article farexceeded the sulpply of them, Doug-las Portler, '50, suggested that the11 available copies be auctioned off,the profits going to the Foreign Stu-dent sSummer Projec-c of the localNSA.

Ten copies were auctioned off inSshurlt order, selling for 301 or 35 centseach. Then some tense momentswere shared by the class as HenryH. Kolm, '50, and Bextram E. :Eakin,'50, battled for the final copy. Thelatter won at a cost of four bits.

~Letters- to the EditorTIME TO CLEAR UPDe'ar Sirs:

We feel that it would be desirableat this time to clear up some mis-coneepltions about the UnificationParty that have been gaining widecirculation in the Sophomore Classrecentbly. Apparently many peopleare either ig-norant of the originaif the party or naive in mattersof -politics.

The Unification Party was organ-ized by a convention of sophomoreswho felt that the traditionalmethod of nominating candidatesby living gr'oups did not serve topresent the best men to the elec-torate. It is true that this meetingwas held by a restricted group,but this was the only realisticcourse that could be taken to insurethat the delegates would be ofgood faith and no living groupwould try to stack the meeting.Later events have shown that theserestrictive steps might not havebeen necessary; however, at thetime of the convention this wasnot evident.

Furthermore, we wish to protestthe implication that the settingup of the Unification Party meansin any way that nominatios shouldnot be open to all who weant torun. On the contrary, the primeobjective and original purpose ofthe party has been to do away withan "official frat candidate" or an",official dorm candidate" underwhich syszems it was virtually im-possible for an independentnominee to hope for election.

We welcome the entrance of a'second party into the election race,especially since it is an indicationthat our goal of doing away withlivffll agroup considerations in the

I,'ass elections has every possibilityof being achieved.

Another item of interest is the"Balance . . . $22,506.82" on1 theaccount of the Undergraduate Dor-mnitory Operation, Schedule B-15B.To reconcile this with the recentrent raise, we called on ProfessorL.

As the Dorms were built the In-stitute paid out $1,529,313.14 withthe expectation of an annual returnof three per cent. Tllis return rep-resented the income that could berNIt-i-edr fr- omo -thc r>r~

The In-stitute would have been better offwith U. S. Bonds, but one-third'ofthe students would have gone ill-housed. Meanwhile, the cost ofoperations has gone up, therefore,the rent rise. Furthermore, theDormito'ries carrel no depreciation.As Professor 'Hamilton put it,"When these dorms fall down, wejust hope someone will give us newones."

COMPREHENSIVESThe Technlology senior is a has-been. He is a man who

has known quite a lot. about a surprising number of differentsubjects, but the usefulness of a great deal of that knowledge isgone. He was too busy trying to discover how to use that lastlong formula to take time to correlate it with his fuzzy reco'llec-tion of the fundamentals upon which it depended. He neverlearned to see exactly where it belonged in the more generalpicture of science.

All of us, presumably, came here as freshmen with thesame intention, the gathering together of a scientific educationso that we would be qualified because of that training to solvea variety of scientific or engineering problems. What happens?

By the time a man is a senior he has been exposed to afrayed rope's-enld of information accumulated strand by strandin the f orty-odd courses he has sulrvived on his way to a degree.In far too mapy cases involving even. th~ose students who xveremost sincere as freshmen, the passi-ng of the barrier presented by a final examination is a signal to put that particular text|on the shelf and to rid the mind of its contents, if only to clearIit for the next assault of information.|

The benefit which could be gained by correlating one sub-lject with lathers studied later is lost. Rleal advantage couldresult for the student if we ha~d some system which would re-quire him to retain considerable amounts of the subject of eachcourse, some system under which he whould realize that he had-not seen the last of that textbook and therefore couldn't affordlto for get its contents, but should conduct some sort of a periodicr eview.

The entire argument which follows hangs upon two facts:The mind can only carrelate facts w hich are remembered andthe mind can hold accurately the broad outlines of anythingonce seen much longer than it can hold the details.

Other schools such as ours seem to consider the gainingof unified image of a subject studied anid the correlation whichcomes with this unification to be of real importance. They re-quire that a senior, before he graduates, demonstrate that hellhas gained at least the block-diagramn of the entire field of hisspecializations. Further, that he knows the relation betweenthe parts and that he be able to reconstruct any -of them in alogical step-by-step process to a reasonable degree of complete-ness.

These are the famous, d~readed 15 and 18 hour conalpre-hensive examinations. There is probably no step in a stuldent'seducational career faced 'with greater apprehension or onelo~oked back upon as having contributed so much to his educa-tion. Comprehensives of facts require him to gain a picture,which, much to his surprise, is still with him long after gradua-tion. If small facts alone had been required, they would soonbe forgotten, as they are anyway, and the graduate's educationwould be like a cenotaph.

in some departments the need for cornprehensives is muchgreater than in others, but it seems unlikely that there would'De many in which the required effortS would 'De wasted. Is itentirely u-nreasonable to wasutme that a trained engineer ought.Iupon graduation, to be able to answer fundamental questionsin his mind and related fields without having to wait fair hisportable library of books and bible to b~e brought up from therear? Comprehensives would unquestionably enhance the rep-utation of our school. It seems a small praice.

The direct proposal is this: Have modified comprehensiveexaminations for seniors in all departments. Excuse all seniorsfrom classes three weeks before the close of term and eliminatecourse finals. Give all seniors in any depar-tmellt the samne ex-amination (6 hours lonig) . These need not be difficult but wouldrequire a grasp ofwthe fundamentals of the related courses.

By SANDER RUBINif everyone has his copy of the

Institute's financial report, we willcontinue our analysis of Technol-ogy's sad fiscal condition. Turningto schedule B-15C we find the re-pOl't of the Walker Memorial DiningService.

Everything appears to be in good|order except an item of $12,000 forI"Occupancy." To Lfind out what thisis for, we visited Mr. Malcolm G.Kispert of the Institute adminis-tration. It seems that this $12,000expenditure towards a total diningservice deficit of $20,376.74 is paidIto the Institute as rent for spacein Walker. This is considered to bea small amount for the value of theproperty used (Walker Memorial islisted as an asset of $714,587.02).If the Institute were making moneyhand over fist, this arrangementmight be thought of as an ingeniousmethod for rooking the students foranother few dollars. Such, how-ever, is not the case; since, as we'showed last week, the Institutelost about $5 thousand last yearand is expected to run a half mil-lion dollars deficit next year, itbecomes a matter of six-of-one,half-a-dozen-of-another whetherthe deficit is carried bay the WalkerDining Service or by the Instituteas a whole.
