Dean Robert Jahn of Princeton's school of is quoted as saying that he expects enrollments to increase this fall for the first time in the past few years. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute reported a sudden 25-per-cent increase in engineering enrollment for 1972-73, up to 1,020 from last year's disappointing 820 and a normal enrollment of new WASHINGTON (AP) Mass layoffs in the aerospace and electronics Industries in 1969-70 had a severe impact on enrollment in engineering schools this past year, and it could add up to a shortage of engineers in 1975. There are signs that freshmen enrollments will bounce back somewhat this fall, but educators are not looking for complete recovery from the 18-to-25-per-cent decline registered in the fall of 1971.

Paradoxically, at a time many advance-degree graduates are finding job-hunting tough, engineer graduates are faring much better, according to Dr. N.J. Palladino, dean of the College of Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. "Engineering will never become obsolete," said Palladino. "National statistics indicate there will be a shortage of new engineers in four years if high school graduates do not show a renewed interest." Seriousness of the situation was underscored by a survey by the Engineers Joint Council which showed there were 26,000 fewer engineering students in 1971 than a year earlier.

Dr. Chauncy Starr, dean of the UCLA school of engineering and applied science, had this prediction for aspiring engineers: by the mid-70s, engineers will be as scarce and as courted ty employers as they were in the heydays of the 60s. He said best estimates show that engineering emplci) inent by 1975 will be 20 per cent higher than in the banner year of 1969. That means between now and 1975 the country will need 60,000 to 70,000 new engineers each year, he said. Only about half that number is expected to graduate.

A great deal of the engineer unemployment, according to L.B. Williams, executive director of the American Society for Engineering Education, has been in highly specialized and narrow fields. He insists that a four-year baccalaureate degree in engi period of the 50s no longer worked by the end of the 60s. "This is behind the reorganization that is taking place in nearly every denomination." He said the Jesus movement among youth is "part of a new personalism, a new dynamism, that is not interested in organizations, a resurgence of personalism." "The high degree of organization in society became too weighty for the individual to tolerate, so emotionalism, personalism have broken out," Dr. Marshall added.

racism in America and for development of church strategies to fight drug abuse. As delegates went through final actions to initiate a sweeping overhaul in the church's structure, Dr. Marshall noted that most church bodies are undergoing similar reorganizations as a result of pervasive cultural changes. In the last decade, the changes have been "almost revolutionary," he told a news conference.

The matter is in God's hands." The denomination ordained its first woman minister only last year, and now has two of them out of 7,328 clergy the Rev. Judith Hird, a Toms River, N.J., pastor, and the Rev. Elizabeth Platz, campus pastor at the University of Maryland. In making the move to upgrade the place of women at points of church power, Mrs. Shoemaker noted that among convention nominees for elective church offices, 164 were men and only 18 women.

Among the convention's 681 delegates, 90 are women. The weeklong convention, which runs through Thursday, also approved resolutions calling for intensified efforts to end DALLAS (AP) The Lutheran Church in America has ordered steps "toward securing proportionate representation of women in decision-making bodies and staff in all parts of the church." Its president, the Rev. Dr. Robert J. Marshall, was directed to set up a predominantly female committee to work with church agencies to attain "equal status of women" in them.

The action came Tuesday at the 3.2-million-member denomination's biennial governing convention on a motion by a Philadelphia woman, Louise Shoemaker. Some delegates sought to change the objective of "proportionate" representation to "adequate," arguing that since most clergy are men and clergy fill about half the offices, giving women a proportionate number would crowd out lay men. A woman delegate responded that this situation may be over Fischer apologizes to Russian champ "r3il THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY ZPX gjJS OUTDOOR LIVING jggjfp ffllljR I 97 TPS 9xl2'lNDOOR-OUTDOOR RUG fr V.

BATH MATS f1 REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) Bobby Fischer made a full and penitent apology to Boris Spassky today, and organizers of the world chess championship match said the two would meet for their first game Sunday night.

The organizers said it had been agreed in principle to hold the drawing tonight to determine which player would have the white pieces and with them the first move. The young American, in a letter delivered by hand this morning to the world chess champion from the Soviet Union, apologized for his "disrespectful behavior." Fischer, whose delayed arrival doubled the prize money for both him and Spassky but also started an avalanche of confusion, asked the Russian to "accept my sincerest apology." "I simply became carried away by my petty dispute over money with the Icelandic chess organizers," he wrote. The written apology from the American challenger was one of the chief conditions posed by the Russians before Spassky would sit down at the chess board with Fischer. Fischer told Spassky: "I have offended you and your country, the Soviet Union, where chess has a prestigious position." The temperamental American also apologized to Dr. Max Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, the Icelanders, "the thousands of fans around the world and especially to the millions of fans and the many friends I have in the United States." However, Fischer brushed aside a demand from the Soviet Chess Federation that he forfeit the first match because of his tardy arrival.

He said this "would place me at a tremendous handicap" and he didn't believe the "world's champion desires such an advantage in order to play me." "I know you to be a sportsman and a gentleman, and I am looking forward to some exciting chess games with you," Fischer concluded. Earlier Euwe had met other demands the Russians made on him and suggested that the start of the match be delayed further. Euwe, president of the International Chess Federation, said he didn't penalize Fischer for his late arrival in Iceland because the American challenger is "livingun another world." He said Spassky, the Russian world title holder, was "very upset" and that he would like to give him another week before the first game. Euwe also admitted he had violated the rules in allowing two previous postponements in the start of the match. He promised strict rule enforcement in the future.

The 24-game series between Fischer and Spassky had been scheduled to start Sunday. Fischer stayed in New York, holding out for more money, and Euwe postponed the start of the match until Tuesday. Fischer arrived that day, but the Russians objected to his conduct and Euwe put the start off until today. Fischer apologized Wednesday for delaying the start of the match, but the Russians demanded apologies in writing. Then they demanded that Fischer forfeit the first game.

The American's apology, read by a spokesman at a news conference, said: "We are sorry the world championship was delayed. The problems causing the delays were not with world champion Spassky whom I respect as a man and admire as a player." Later Yefim Geller, the Soviet grandmaster acting as Spassky's second, told another news conference the Russians wanted Euwe to condemn the American's conduct and accept blame himself for violating the federation's rules. Euwe came forward and condemned Fischer, conceded he himself had broken the rules and added: "I apologize." Asked if the Russians were satisfied, Geller said they wanted it all in writing. Euwe took a pen from his pocket and said, "I can write it now," and began drafting a letter. Geller then said the Soviet Chess Federation had told Euwe he should award the first game to Spassky by forfeit.
