Last week the faculty debated a proposal to impose a writing requirement upon MIT undergraduates; at next month's faculty meeting this issue will probably come to a vote. In addition to deliberating on the substantive issues, the faculty should con- sider the effect additional work will have upon the student body. If, as the Committee on Educational Policy (CEP) claims, "a substantial number of MIT students do not achieve a level of writing proficiency adequate for either their course work at MIT or their professional careers later on," many students will have to take additional courses or perform additional labor to bring their writing skills up to M IT's par. The CEP estimates that fifty percent of MIT students will not satisfy the requirement on their First attempt. Though the end, increased competence in writing for MIT students, may be desirable, the Institute already imposes many requirements upon undergraduates. A writing requirement will be an extra burden added to an already cluttered melange of freshman, humanities, science distribution, laboratory, and course requirements demanded for an MIT degree. Four years of lectures, recitations, problems sets, and papers should provide MIT students with a superior education: it should not be a continual process of required drudgery. MIT currently has a Humanities Distribution requirement that mandates a con-: siderable amount of writing; imposing an additional writing re-, quirement may be duplicating an already existing responsibility. . As the faculty and the CEP consider changing the Institute re-: quirements, they should bear in mind Paul Grey's inaugural ad- monition on MIT's pace.
