Seniors on Plan B Tutorial Work Fewer in Second Year of Program

Instead of reducing the number of students in the Senior Class receiving Plan A tutorial instruction, the second year of the University's Plan B policy has increased the number of men on Plan A, figures released yesterday show.

An official in the Dean's Office points out that the reason there are more Plan A students this year than last can be found in the reduced size of the Senior Class and in the move made by the Economics Department abolishing Plan B.

The Division of History, Government, and Economics carries most of the tutorial burden as almost half the Senior Class concentrates in the Social Sciences. Of the 324 Seniors in the Division only 66 are now on Plan B.

The Economics Department has abolished Plan B, contradicting runners of an inadequate number of tutors in the department. Professor Harold H. Burbank, Chairman of the Board of Tutors in Economics, said that the department had taken no unusual action.

"The opportunity was there to restore the previous Plan A system, if it could be done within the Department's budget, I was able to do this and it has been accepted by the Dean and the President." Burbank stated.

Students recommended by their tutors are placed on Plan B in their Junior or Senior years. The Dean's Office has not record of the Junior Class figures, but it is presumed that there has been a similar reduction in the number of Plan B students in the class of 1941.
