Organizations at the Institute per- form a very vital part in the hfe of the undergraduate. Because the student affairs are run entirely by the students with no assist- ance from counselors or advisors, the undergrad- uate learns the important job of self-administration. This applies to class officers as well as the publications and other activities. It is this policy that tends to develop character, leadership, and initiative which so characterize a graduate of Technology. . . . 6Ai4iXf. toKfetUe 4fte

stitute Committee... a working The Institute is one of the few major colleges in the country in which the various activities are handled entirely by the undergraduates. The controlling hand for all these activities is the Institute Committee. In its members are vested many powers that few in other colleges have. In order to meet any problems that might con- front it, the Institute Committee has been designed to be both efficient and thorough in its work. In order to obtain a genuine cross-section of the stu- dent body ' s opinion and yet not be awkward, the Institute Committee is composed of representatives of the four undergraduate classes and of the major activities. Each class is represented by the president and two members-at-large. In addition there are four standing sub-committees — the Walker Memo- rial Committee, Budget Committee, Elections Committee, and Student-Faculty Committee. The residential groups are represented by the Chairman of the Inter-Fraternity Council, the Chairman of the Dormitory Committee, and the President of the 5:15 Club, in the organization of the committees. The Class A activities, such as the publications, are represented by their respective president or chair- man. KIRK DRUMHELLER President D.WID A. TRAGESER Vice President JAMES S.
