Committee
Calls RILW
'Successful'
This year's Religion-in-Life
Week program was called suc
cessful at an ,evaluation meeting
of the RILW general committee
Saturday afterncron.
Jane Montgomery, student co

to interest students most, accord
ing to Miss Montgomery, and she
said she wished there might have
been more of them.
'The 55 fireside discussions sche
duled in dormitory lounges and
fraternities were praised by oth
ers and the committee discussed
the possibility of having a series
of such discussions periodically
throughout the year, led either
by local religious leaders or_ by
Chapel speakers who might con
sent to remain at the College to
take part in such a program. ,
The general committee i voted to
permit Inter-Religious Council,
sponsor of RILW, to use •the bal
ance of approximately $2OO re
maining from this year's RILW
budget to carry on, such a pro
gram.
In addition to fireside discus
sions, evening speakers, and noon
worship services, the week's pro
gram included morning_ devotions
over WMAJ, two Chapel ad
dresses, a dramatic presentation

Survey Shows
Trend Toward
Scienee Work
Students in American 'colleges
and universities are gradually
swinging away from the liberal
arts and' humanities
,in favor of
scientific and professional' 'sub
jects.
This trend was announced by
the New York Times after a re
cent survey of 100 representative
institutions.
The survey indicated that; col
leges and 'universities expect in
1952-55 to have 19 per cent fewer
students in the humanities, social
studies, and liberal arts. They an
ticipate a _decrease of only 5 'per
cent in the natural and applied
sciences. •
Some of the reasons given for
the lessening of interest in the
liberal arts were that large num
bers of World War II veterans
flocked to the practical or tech
nical courses - that might help
them to make a- living mo r e
quickly and that the Korean con
flict reemphasized , the need for
technically trained men.
Technical.subjects are also em
phasized by the military services,
by war-related industries, and by
the government's research divis
ion. Many students consider most
significant "getting a job that
pays a lot of money," the survey
showed.
The trend is affecting faculty
rolls, which are being reduced
because of the decline in over
all enrollment during the past two
years. Some institutions report
that they--will be forced to reduce
the number of professors 20 to 30
per cent. The most dr4stic cuts
will be in the humanities and lib=
eral arts, the report said.
- The average height of men in
this country is 5' 5 1 / 2 '?, the weight
is 155 pounds. ' •

Group to Offer
Constitutional
Amendment
The Liberal Arts Student Coun
cil last night favored a proposal
to make it compulsory' for repre
sentatives on All-College Cabinet
to respond to the will of their
groups.
Edward Shanken, couneil.presi
dent, and Leonard Goodman will
work on wording the proposal as
an amendment to the All-College
Constitution.
The proposal would assuie the
group that its views, and not
just the personal views of its
representative, are expressed on
cabinet, Shanken said.
William Slepin pointed out that
representatives are usually credit
ed with having common sense and
are permitted to vote on issues
at their own discretion.
The council unanimously voted
to drop the investigation of night
blue books. Thomas Farrell said
plans were being ‘ made for the
student-faculty mixer April 27 at
the TUB.
Shanken was elected as - the
council's representative for the
Ugly Man contest.
