discussion of controversial issues, such as the Gary Jackson case.
Scott's position as presiding officer, previously held by Frank Loeis senator, involves presiding Senate meetings and making suggestions for agenda items. To be a presiding senator is to run the University when the Senate does not meet or when the Senate cannot problem the Senate can't handle.
THE COUNCIL is composed of 39 Faculty Senate members, 10 Student Senate members, the faculty and the student body president.
Scott said the proposal to enlarge the Council to approximately 100 members was made to students to attend the meetings. "Being interested enough to come and listen for two hours is enough to convince the faculty that the project is wild-eyed and radical," he said.
Scoff said he was more interested in the business conducted at the University Senate because this group shaped the university Senate. The University Senate is a combination of the Faculty and Student Senates.
HE SAID THAT although the presiding officer couldn't make meetings more interesting, he would try to be fair in recognizing members to speak. Scott added that as a student he could make that students as well as faculty who were recognized to speak.
He said he thought the Senate would be more conservative this year than last year because of its members.

An aborted and bloodless revolt of some 30 Ecuadorian War College faculty members and a group of students occurred a week ago. The leaders were demanding the ouster of Acosta Velasca and Sacoto. However government troops backed off quickly subdued the revolt.

NEW YORK (UPI) - Composer Igor Stravinsky, a towering genius who changed the course of music, died at his apartment at 88, mounted even in his native Russia, where Stravinsky was long abashed as decadent

A memorial service was scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday at Frank E. Campbell's Funeral Church in Manhattan.
The consensus of experts was that Stravinsky's place in musical history will rest mainly on the songs "Firebird," "Petrochka," and "The Rite of Spring"—rather than those composed after World War I, although the 1931 opera, "The Rake's Progress," has been a focus.
"The works he composed before he was 30 are the ones that changed the course of music," said fellow composer, Virgil Thomson. "Those are the crucial compositions of the 20th cent.
French composer Henri Sauget said Stravinsky was "the equivalent of Picasso to music."
Sir Arthur Bliss, England's most honored composer, describes him as 'one of those who have lived along once or twice in a century.
Canadian conductor Wilfrid Pelletier linked him with Richard Strauss as "the two greatest composers of our century."
