Unless the Institute finds somenew sources of income, or unlessPrices come down considerably, theAdministration will have to starteconomizing seriously in two years,announced Dr. Karl T. Compton,President, in a "Report To Youl" onStation WMIT. Wednesday, March24.

At the present time, expansionis being financed by reserve en-dowment funds, which were ear-marked for special purposes. Sinceit was impossible to carry out theprojects for which these funds wereappropriated during the war, theincome has been accumulating forseveral years. However, declaredDr. Compton, this can be expectedto last only about two years.

Enrollment To DecreaseThere is a great deal of trouble

expected with the budget diulnfg

the next year, Dr. Compton con-tinued. This is because of theplanned decrease in enrollment,which will substantially reduce theInst;itute's income. At present,Technology is overcrowded to- anVa.UCi~t -W'LC-tL, Ceciared me Insti-tute's President, interferes with ed-ucation. The new stable enrollmentplan calls for a student body ofabout 4500. Enrollrernt now is5600. The maximum pre-war num-ber of students was 3100; next fallthere will be about 4000 men here.The increase in the student bodyover the pre-war figure is Justified.said Dr. Compton, by many newfacilities-classrooms, laboratories,etc.

Even though there will be a sub-stantial reduction in income, theAdministration dons not want toreduce the size of the teachingstaff, because of the heavy pro-grams of staff members as they nowstand, and because of the impor-tance of individual attention inclasses. All economies are to bemade, if possible, in the buildingequipment, and related lines. Nocuts will probably be made in any-thing related to education.

In his opening remarks, Dr.

Santillana SupportsJews In Palestine

Professor George de Santillanaand tBishop Alexander St. Ivanyiwere the speakers at a lecture spon-sored by the Hillel Society lastWednesday afternoon. The topic ofthe lecture was "A Plan for Peace."

Professor de Santillana, seakngfirst, took up the problem of peacein Palestine. He stated that an in-ternational legion would have keptpeace in Palestine, but the UnitedNations would not work because wewere not supporting it; he con-tinued that the people Of Palestinewere rapidly coming to the realia-tion that they must find an under-standing with the Arabs, "The firstword of sense spoken in two thou-sand years."

BWshop St. Ivanyi discussed peaceas a problem of going back to man.He illustrated his remarks by refer-ences to the Palestine problem andthe world situation in general, andsaid that he hoped the United Na-tions was not done for.

enrollment last fall of 5,662 stu-dents is down to 5,279, the under-

graduates numbering 3,795.The elimination of first term

classes in the freshman, sophomore

and junior years was mainly re-sponsible for the decrease. Thelarge number of graduating seniors(292) coupled with the decrease inthe freshman class (24) almostaccounts for the undergraduatedecrease.

The proportion of students ineach course has remained nearlyconstant. Leading the Institute

numerically is Course VI with

1,075 students. Somewhat behindis Course II with 693; and third

place goes to Course X's 553 schol-ars. The balance of the total is|sc~attered among the remaining

courses, and also 46 graduate stu-dents who are not attached to spe-cific courses.

The question of instructor ratingwas a major topic of discussion atthe meeting of the Student-FacultyCommittee held on Monday, March22. An attempt was made to bringto light allpossible information asto the purposes of the project, thesuccess or failure of past experi-ments with it, and the variousmethods and forms which might beused in the future.

Several guests were present tocontribute their views on the sub-ject, including Prof. Walter G.it, man o the Eth2 -ngi-

neering Department, Mark Camp-bell, 48, president of Pi Tau Sigma,the honorary mechanical engineer-.ing fraternity, Jim Adelstein, '48,president of Tau Beta Pi, and Peter ||uercio, '48, from the National Stu- Idents Association.

Ratings DesirableThe desirability of instructor rat-

ing in general was unanimouslyagreed upon. Several faculty mem-bers present said that instructorson the whole would like very muchto know what the students think oftheir teaching methods. It was feltthat the quality of Instruction atTech would improve if a systemwere set up to relay student opin-

ion to the instructors. It wasthought desirable that the individ-ual ratings be revealed only to theinstructors involved and that aver-ages for the department be sub-mitted to the department head.

Prof. James Holt of the Mechan-ical Engineering Department de-scribed the instructor rating pro-grams conducted by Tau Beta Piand Pi Tau Sigma in his depart-ment, Both experiments were con-sidered successful and met withconsiderable favor in the depart-ment. Prof. fhit-m9.n told aCutTau Beta Pi's rating of Course xprofessors, among whom sentimentran "from mild enthusiasm to highenthusiasm." Most of them feltthat the students' evaluations werefair and that the -program resultedin improved teaching in the de-partment. Three different ratingsystems were then discussed butno decision was reached.

Coordination NeededConceding the advantages -to be

gained from such a program, themeeting attempted to decide upona method by which the efforts ofthe interested organizations mightbe correlated. Dean Pitre empha-sized the importance of having an

Final arrangements concerningthe amendments to the constitutionof the Elections Committee weremade during the Wednesday meet-ing of the Institute Committee,when the governing body passedthe "compromise" amendment sub-mitted by Ithe Eleclons Committee.

Originally, the amendment was tothe effect that almost all of thestudent electionslbe held under apreferential - proportional system.

Compromise FormulatedHowever, during a special meet-

ing of the Institute Committee heldon Mon-day, the -proposed amend-ment was Discussed, and it was de-cided that the preferential-propor-tiona1 system would prove both in-equitable and impracticable in somec ases. As -a Tesuit Of this discussion,}a compromise amendment was for-mulated having the followingIpoints

Several important announce-ments have been made by ProfessorLeicester F. Hamilton, Chairman ofthe Dormitory Board. In present-ing the new program for dornitoryaccommodations for the summerand fall terms of 1948, ProfessorHamilton announced that rates forall occupants have been increasedby $10. Circulars have been sent toall members of Building 22, theGraduate House and Undergradu-ate dormitories explaining the in-crease and other items.

Speaking about the increase,Professor Hamilton said this wasduie to a general rise in the cost ofsuch items as laundry, furnishingsand an increase in wages paid todormitory employees. The M.I.T,Dormitory -qvstem dne.s not, enmpunder the Jurisdiction of rent con-trols.

Professor Hamilton stated thatthe rents at Technology were notunduly high and added that Har-vard University charges approxi-mately the same rates. Harvard hasrecently experienced increases intheir rents.

REPORT TO INSTITUTE COMMITTEEOne of the items on the agenda of W~ednesday's Institute

Committee meeting was to have been a written report sub-rrtted by the Athnletic Associa-tion cffoncerning their organiza-tion and procurement of personnel. This written report wasnot submitted and in its stead Institute Committee receivedan oral report from the present and past president of the A.A.This oral report is singularly noted because of its lack lof spe-cific information.

It is quite evident from the present A.A. constitution andJim Veras' explanation to the Institute Committee that theAthletic Association lacks an efficient organization below theExecutive Comm~rittee level. It was this lack of organizationand seeming confusion in the lower strata of the A.A. that hasled to its present positions The present executive committee,could make a great contribution to the A.A. if it undertookto correct this situation.

CLASS ELECTIONSOver: the past several weeks both the institute Committee

andi the Elections Study Committee have spent a great deal-of time and eff ort attempting to reach a solution to the problemofL clbQACLols. Thl mnelfhod of electilonn 4,Lfinall- Passed vy the1Institute Committee was a compromise between the variousplansloffered-the preferential, the preferential-proportional,and the point system. The -fnal compromise should go far togiving the students the best system for elections they have hadin years.

SPEAK UP]Several times in the past we have invited comments and]

other people s opinions upon anything which has appeared inThe Tech. Usually it doesn't happen that way though, andpeople are always either stopping us or someone else on thestaff to relate how The Tech was very wrong and unfair in itslast editorial,

Specifically, we have been privately briefed several timeson what is supposedly wrong with the "point counting?' in elec-tions. Yet, despite the fact that we solicited the opposition'sviewpoint from three separate sources, they did not see fLitto make it public in writing.
