Council Gives Report on GE Value Tonight

The Student Council's big production for 1951-52, its opulent report on General Education, will be presented to the Council tonight.

Robert H. Cole '52, Chairman of the Student Council committee on G.E. announced yesterday that tonight's debut winds up more than a year of world. The report, according to Cole, is the fattest in Council history.

"This is the first year," Cole said, "that G.E. is going into full effect. We thought it was time for an evaluation."

Cole's committee sent out 674 questionnaires last fall to students, section men, and professors. After the first returns came in, the committee kept after 50 of the students who had not handed back the questionnaire, and reported their conclusions as a unit.

Seventy-three percent of the undergraduates, Cole said, returned their polls, while only half of the section men returned theirs.

Despite the length of the 73 page report, Cole said that "We had a lot more facts than we could use. We are turning over all the material, tabulated on the I.B.M. machine, to the Faculty Committee on General Education."

Working with Cole on the committee were Hugh Amory '52, Robert Fain '52, David Lattimore '52, and Richard W. Weiskopf '52.

The last Council report, that on the Student Porter System, was praised by the administration. Many of the changes it advocated were made under the recent revision of the system.
