5 INSTITUTK COMMITTEE rm CJIMMUMMUI ! « JimUSlWKY ir» iMritrw wiN INSTITUTE COMMITTEE J. .1. Waxxerman, President IV. E. 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.

Jonssun ELECTIONS COMMITTEE Not much is heard about the elections committee for the greater part of the year: however, there are two days when its functions are in view of the public eye: The first occurs on the first Tuesday in November when the fall elections are held: the second occurs on the first Tues- day in April for the spring elections. The fall elections include the Senior Week Committee, the Junior Prom Committee, and the Senior Ring Chairman. The major elections of the year occur in the spring when the class officers are elected. Along with the class officers the Senior Class Day ]Marshals are also elected. Two weeks after the start of the term the elections committee conducts the fresh- man elections, one section leader and an alternate from each section. The duties of the elections committee are not restricted solely to conducting the elections. It is up to the committee to promote interest in the elections both from the point of view of the candidate and the voters. FINANCE COMMITTEE The Finance Committee, one of the standing sul)-committees of the Institute Committee, controls and accounts for the funds received by the I ' ndergraduate Association each year from the Under- graduate Budget Board. In accomplishing these aims, the Fi- nance Board, composed of five members of the Institute Committee, makes major policy decisions which are executed by the four members of the Junior Board with the help of six Assistant Members. The chairman of the committee, Fred Lehmann. is also the Treasurer of the Institute Committee and a member of the executive committee of that body. The responsi})ilities of the Junior Board are presently divided into the categories of accounting, purchasing, publications, and activity relations, which are periodically rotated among the Board members; Bob Arl)uckle, Dana Ferguson, Stan Sydney, and Andy Wessel.
