christmas vacation the board of managers decided to postpone its decision on the recom mendations made by the election committee for the alteration of the method of choosing board mem bers m the future this issue prob ably will be resolved at the next meeting which will be held on jan 28 at 7:30 m norton ' all board meetings are open to the public in proposing the new plan hen ry rose who headed the election committee and is the leading ex ponent of its suggested reforms stated that we are under no il lusions that this is a cure-all for all the ills at tj b however mr rose emphasized his belief that no group has any right to decide who the nominees for election to the board and though the system he is advocating might also be abused he prefers errors that might occur because of the exten sion of democracy rather than through its restriction a number of board members ex pressed their belief that the pres ent system which enables the old board of managers to scrutinize the list of those desirous of se curing election to that body offers the best method of securing a worthwhile membership and pre vents the degeneration of the elec tions into popularity contests among the students the group decided to postpone its final deci sion until a later meeting since a number of the student delegates were not present fred baines of the engineering school was chosen to fill the va cancy on the board created by the resignation of paul m dellinger whose occupation with other activ ities precluded his serving any longer in keeping with an un written law mr baines resigned his position as president of the junior class of the engineering school following his election to the board bob whelan chairman of the junior prom committee reported the progress of his group stating that no arrangements had been concluded with any band as yet since their present rates for per forming aren't definitely known at this time however it is virtually certain that the prom will feature a name band though the prohibi tive charges of some of the more famed performers will keep them out of the local picture two budgets were submitted by the committee one computed on the basis of a price of 5.70 per ticket and the other based on a 6.60 figure the committee rec ommended that the latter budget be adopted since it would be eas ier to scale down the budget if a cheaper band were obtained it was pointed out that last year 408 tickets were sold at 6.60 apiece while m 1947 only 6<jb jifkhth were dispensed al a winter carnival's festivities begin soon after exams when the student body
