SENATE VOTES DOWN STEERING COMMITTEE
NUMBER 45
Resolutions for Committee Consider General University Policies is Defeated
Voting Stands 47 to 44
Ninety-One Senate Members Spend Hectic Hour in Poorly-Ventilated Room
Ninety-one members of the University Senate crowd themselves and a hectic hour of argument into a poorly ventilated room. Fraser Hall last Friday and defended a resolution in committee, by a of 47 to 43.
The Senate assemble *d* Friday in adjourned meeting to consider further the resolution proposed by Prof. F. H. Hodder at the regular meeting on Wednesday. The Senate should have a committee to consider general and important questions affecting the entire University and not within the province of separate schools. It was one of the best attended meetings of the Senate in 1967, and it has since grown a large representation from the faculties of technical and professional schools and it was this vote that defeated the resolution. The faculty members from the technical and professional schools would control the committee would control the Senate and that the College faculty, having nearly so large a representation in the Senate, might elect this committee and leave the professional and technical schools without representation on the committee.
Frank explanations by College faculty men, who championed the resolution, and protestations that such design could not by any quirk of reasoning be read into the purpose of the decision, failed to win over the opposition.
The discussion of the resolution brought out a variety of opinions as to University needs and while theories were being spun, and logic and facts drawn out these ninety-one experts on one thing or another in a room with every window turned up and with a need for a SRO. sign on the door. The medical authorities and other scientists sat enthralled by the arguments and it remained for a professor of Greek to signal frantically to a professor of ontology to open a window. The professor of ontology, a subject that seems to deal largely with a form of animal life that doesn't care whether it breathes secondhand air or not, was opened a window one (1) foot. The meeting proceeded without interruption.
