llllnois institute at technology, Mileage 10, lllinols Findings of the ITSA committee on student activity reports were released this week by committee chairman Ed Michelle. Fred Wright, Bob Shuldes and Michelle studied the system of reports presently in effect. In their findings they submitted an outline of revisions in the method, placing the Advisory Committee for Students Activities in charge of a new two-report system. Provisions empowering ITSA to enforce the new system were also suggested. 01' the two reports making up the proposed system, an Organ- ization Report will be asked for a month prior to the close of each semester and a Supplementary Re- port at the beginning of. the suc» ceeding semester. Though reports are now asked of student organizations by the Office of the Dean of Students each semester, many organizations do not submit them until the closing weeks of the term. Two deadlines, preliminary and final, are provided for the Organ— ization Report. The two deadlines are set up to allow for revisions in the reports if not at first accept- able and for emergencies, the com- mittee stated. Listing of members, organization objectives, accom- plishments and plans are asked . for in this report. Briefer than the first report, the Supplementary Report asks mainly for information not available at the time the Organization Report Drive home My Fae?! . . .

ACSA will have the authority to accept or reject the reports on the grounds of completeness. Organizations neglecting to ob» serve the deadlines face the loss of privileges to collect dues, to meet as a group on the campus, or to draw l’l‘SA funds. As listed in the committee find- ings, the purposes of the revisions are: to renew the privileges of student activities upon receipt and acceptance of the reports by ITSA; to promote self-appraisal of or- ganizations by their leaders and membership in the process of pre- paring their reports; to give pros- pective members of the organiza~ tion an indication of the purposes and program of the organization; to serve as a source of official in- formation on each student organ- ization. Committee chairman Michelic stated that it would be a good idea if the contents of the committee findings were made known to all campus groups well in advance of the start of the new system to al» low further refinements before it is made a permanent practice. «Winsome mm .y, ~- llrlvo homo m loci! . . .

Unless the percentage of high— school graduates entering“ engi— neering college is increased, there is a strong probability that instead of the widely prophesied surplus of engineering graduates, there 'will soon be fewer available than are needed annually by our national economy. Freshman engineering enroll~ ment in U. S. engineering colleges listed by the Federal Security agency was about 93,000; this was 8.6 per cent of high~school grad- uates of the preceding June. The prewar average was an enrollment of only 3.2 per cent of high-school grads. Since 1940, freshman “enroll- ments have declined through 041,000 in 1047, ll0,000 'in 1048 and ll2,000 in 1049. The present fresh- man engineering class is only 3 per cent of lost June’s high school graduates, or slightly smaller than the prewar aver- age had the prewar trend con; tinned. Fifty—one-thousand of the 1946 freshmen are now seniors in col~ leges accredited by the Engineers’ Council for Professional Develop— ment (ECPD), according; to statis— tics assembled jointly by the American Society for Engineering Step into our showroom; . . step out in a new Chevrolet . . . and you’ll enjoy motoring pleasures and thrills “stepped up” be— yond anything you have ever experienced in any low—priced car!

According to the same “survival ratio” .1950 grad- uates will number 47,000, plus 4,000 graduates from schools not accredited 'by EPCD. if there is a gradual return to prewar “survival ratios”, over. the next three years, both groups of institutions combined will graduate 35,000 in 1951, 25,000 in 1952 and 19,000 in 1953. Office of Education estimates indicate a steady decline beyond 1953 to 15,000 engineering grads in 1957, with a slow rise to 21,000 in 1965. A report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates an average an~ nual need of between 17,000 and 18,000 in the 1950-60 decade, rising to a peak of 22,000 by 1960. This estimate is based on the number of engineers needed for actual engi- neering jobs to account for expan- sion, deaths and retirements. The Engineers” Joint council has found that 35,000 of last year’s class are already in jobs which utilize their engineering training, a figure twice as large as the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimate. Reports of the manpower com- mittee of the ASEE emphasize the growth and expansion of engineer- ing- as a profession. Many factors operate toward» the continuation of this growth: increasing need for engineering and research in indus- try and government; the tendency for engineers to develop new proc- esses and services which create needs for new kinds of engineers and technicians; and the growing tendency of employers to recruit men with engineering training for non-engineering jobs but for which an engineering background is be— coming more and more useful. The small excess of engineer- ing graduates over engineering employment in 1950 and 1951 will undoubtedly be absorbed in non-engineering work, especially administrative, application, and technical sales positions, for which engineering training has been found to be an excellent preparation. The indicated number of engi- neering graduates in 1952 will be much smaller than the number placed in 1949, and by 1953 engi- neering graduates are expected to be fewer in number than the esti- mates of those needed for actual engineering jobs. From 1954 to 1965 or later-there will develop a serious shortage of engineers, un- less the ratio of freshman engi— neers to high—school graduates is increased. This indicated need can be filled either by an increase in the per- centage of college freshmen who enroll in engineering or by an in— crease in the ratio of high-school graduates who go to college, with little or no change ,in the percent- age of freshmen enrolled in engi« neering. In view of the increasing opportunities for college graduates in all fields, and of the small per- centage of well—qualified high» school graduates who now enter college, the latter seems the more promising. fl , fission students 0 69 wm notional . m l hostel“ overseas Top prizes in a nation—wide post- er competition sponsored by the Society of Typographic Arts were awarded to two students of the In‘ stitute of Design of Illinois Insti- tute of Technology.
