C ' asei , I ' ice-President f L One of the greatest needs of a student is to gain training and experience in the management of his own affairs. In college a part of this need is satisfied by participa- tion in student government. But, since student government exists only at the pleasure of the administratit)n of the college, it must conduct itself in a mature and responsible manner if it wishes to exist at all. The fact that MAT. has, perhaps, the most autonomous student government in the country attests that the Institute Committee, our major organ of student government, has been outstanding in its ability to organize, cooi ' dinate, and regu- late all student activities at the Institute. The Institute Committee has accom- plished these functions through a repre- sentative body consisting of the president and two elected representatives from each of the classes, the chairman of the stand- ing sub-committees and the heads of the major activitie s on the campus. Due to the growth of the nvnnber of activities at the Institute, the inade(|ua- cies of our present organization have be- come more and more obvious. However, this year the ( mimittee has taken the more realistic and long-range view that a rather extensive reorganization is needed in order to provide good and fair govern- K.reriitire Committee: .1. .1.
