Faculty W Engineerin Plans for changes in the humani ties program in the school of En gineering is scheduled for con sideration by the faculty at their meeting next Wednesday. Changes in course requirements for the school are to become effec tive September, 1956. The proposed program of humanities is designed to afford engineering students broadened cultural training. The revised program will not affect students now enrolled in the En gineering School. Math Stressed The revised curriculum also stresses physics and mathematics. Students who lack adequate back ground for these subjects can not be admitted to the School of Engi neering, but will be enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences until they have made up deficiencies. The engineering curriculum and departmental organization will he revised as the result of a year's study made by a team of special ists from the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology. Course D)istribution D)istribution of cou rses will con form to the recommendations of the A merican Society of Engineering Education. Students wvill spend ap proximately 19 per cenit of their time in humanistic and social studlies; 27 per cent in mathematics and basic science; 22 per cent in engrineering science; 24 per cent in engineering analyses and systems; and 8 per cent in approved elec tives. In the humanities requirements. students will take a one-year world civilization course and basic courses in English grammar and composi tion. Students will have an option in American history, political science, economics, literature, or phlilosophy. In addition, a student will elect an advanced course in a fieldl related to his major interest. In And Out Cards Gone In and out cards taken from Wade Hamnpton' lobby Tuesday night had not been recovered as this paper went to press. A directive to residents of the dormitory for the return of the cardls by 5 p. m. Wednesday failed to bring results. No other action has been taken concerning the cards.
