Quiz answers
1. The Senate Code is the document which contains the recommendations made in the Majority Report of the student-faculty committee's majority report on University Governance. It proposes student membership on the University Senate for the first time in the University's history.
Basically, the Senate Code calls for a tri-partite form of government at the University. There will be a Student Senate, a Faculty Senate and a University Senate.
2. A group of KU students last fall, including Voice members, outlined a demand for student representation and a re-structuring in student government, causing the ASC to propose the Senate Code.
3. The proposed Senate Code was worked out this summer and presented to members of the ASC early this fall where the ASC discussed and altered the Code to its present state.
4. Six students and six faculty members formed the Student Faculty Committee on University Governance.
5. Elizabeth Atkinson, Lawrence senior, and Bill Berkowitz, New York senior, broke away from the Senate Code (or Majority Report) and proposed a different type of student government, outlined in the Minority Report.
6. The recommendations in the dissenting report were rejected by both the All-Student Council and the Senate Council.
7. The University Senate, now made up of faculty, would be composed of faculty and students.
It has governing powers over the organization, administration of the University, academic work and its evaluation, requirements for graduation and degrees, class and examination schedules, the school calendar, student financial aid, school activities, and human relations, among others.
The Faculty Senate has powers over faculty rights, privileges, and responsibilities, research, scholarly publications, admissions and transfer requirements, credit for resident and non-resident study, and co-operation with other institutions.
The Student Senate's jurisdiction is in matters of student rights, privileges, and responsibilities, student disciplinary matters, student organizations and activities, student publications, and student housing and health.
8. Most students are under the impression that the Senate Code gives students 15 per cent representation and faculty 85 per cent. This is true in only the whole University Senate, which is the combined student faculty body. In the Senate Council-with a proposed membership of 42 faculty and 11 students-the student percentage would be 24 per cent.
The Senate Executive Committee—with a proposed membership of 6 faculty and 3 students—would have 33 per cent student membership.
9. The ASC approved the Senate Code Nov. 6. The University Senate is still considering its version of the Senate Code. After passage, a joint committee will meet to iron out differences and the final version must then be passed by both bodies.
10. As soon as the ASC and University Senate joint committee reach agreement on the amended portions of the bill. The vote is expected before the spring semester.
"At least half the kids here could go to college," says Gwen. "But they come here because they have cousins or friends here and they feel they'll be treated better."

One former student believes the Haskell curriculum should be updated.
Miss Hoffman didn't seem to think the students would want it that way.
Galluzzi contends the students are not interested in KU. He says the students are somewhat frightened by a large school—that's why they come to Haskell.
Indians criticize
"I'm not opposed to a college program," says Naylor. "The problem is to work it into our schedule."
"Their biggest problem is meeting the public," says John Mousseau, operator of a local service station. He believes the students should be more involved with KU.
Miss Hoffman cited a letter from a graduate:
But the Haskell faculty is hesitant to agree. Their general attitude seems to be that an education program with KU or more social contacts with KU students might be fine but that really the students either do not need it, or aren't capable of taking advantage of it.
"I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for all the things you did for me... I never dreamed I would get such a job as the one I have now."
Browning Pipestem, an Oklahoma Indian lawyer practicing in Washington, D.C., who is on the National Indian Youth Council, criticizes the BIA schools in general. He said the BLA contends:

Kyra Reed, also a social worker.
Mrs. Reed explained she asked three Lawrence lawyers to help,
but claimed none would aid the charged girls.
Walker Miller, a KU professor of law, said at the meeting, poverty victims are severely handicapped in legal disputes in the Lawrence area.'He said many communities have legal aid societies to defend clients during the first such important hours after their arrest, but no such society exists in Lawrence.
"I finally was able to get help from a Negro lawyer in Topeka," she said. With the aid of the lawyer, Mrs. Reed said, the charges were dropped in the second hearing.
"The Indian student should preserve his culture—like basket weaving, art, singing and dances—tangible things you can hang around in your room."
Middle and upper income families many times have a family lawyer to give assistance, Miller said. Lower income persons, he explained, must wait until they are given a court appointed lawyer.
Discrimination-
He believes, too, the BIA tries to make white men out of Indians“Anglo conformity with plastic feathers."
Miller said, "Until that time he sees no attorney and receives no legal advice." The lawyer suggested that a group of attorneys be placed on call to assist in such cases.
