Text of student faculty committee report
(Continued from page 5) stituted Committee on Student Rights, Privileges, and Responsibilities and the University Senate Committee on Human Relations, as appropriate.
B. The Council Committee on Faculty Affairs be renamed the Committee on Faculty Rights, Privileges, and Responsibilities and made responsible to the new Faculty Senate.
C. University Senate Committees on Research, Tenure and Related Problems, Scholarly Publications, Cooperation Among Institutions of Higher Learning, and Cooperation with Junior Colleges be made responsible to the Faculty Senate.
D. The present University Senate Disciplinary Board be redesignated the Disciplinary Committee and made a standing committee of the new Student Senate.
E. A Faculty Executive Committee of the new Faculty Senate be established to consist of faculty members of the Senate Executive Committee (SENEX) to function in those areas which are of primary concern to students.
F. A student Executive Committee of the new Student Senate be established to consist of student members of the Senate Executive Committee (SENEX) plus four students elected by the Student Senate from that body to function in those areas which are of primary concern to students.
In addition to this basic reorganization, the major mechanism for increasing student participation in governance of the University has been the addition of students on some committees and the increase of students on others. Listed below are the proposed changes in student representation.
2. Recommendations Affecting Student Government
The major change in student government recommended by the Committee is the establishment of a Student Senate whose powers are expanded and whose elected members primarily represent academic constituencies rather than living groups. The new Student Senate will initially be composed of approximately
98 persons of whom 85 are elected and 13 ex officio, including the Dean of Student Affairs, the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women. The Dean of Student Affairs will preside over the Student Senate meetings and it will be administered by a Student Executive Committee. The recommended membership and constituencies of the Student Senate are indicated below (number of representatives from each School to be the nearest whole number to the number obtained by dividing the total enrollment in the school by 200):

The complete report of the Sub-Committee on Student Government, approved unanimously by the Committee, is available for those interested in the specific recommendations concerning the scope of responsibilities of the Student Senate, the procedures for the election of its membership and their appointment to the Student Council, SENEX, and the Senate Committees upon which they have representation. (Two members of the Committee later expressed disagreement with that portion of the Sub-Committee's report dealing with the number of student representatives on the Senate Council and its committees.)

A. Non-tenured Faculty
1 Mi. South of Holiday Inn
On a few matters, because of lack of time or lack of conviction that its charges properly embraced them, the Committee does not offer specific recommendations. On these points e.g., non-tenured faculty, school and departmental organization, Chancellor's Committees, the role of the University in the community, and academic misconduct—it can only express its opinion and submit general recommendations for future action. These matters are of crucial importance and need the careful attention of appropriate individuals and groups in order to further the improvements in the University which we seek. The Committee makes the following general recommendations:
The Committee believes that non-tenured faculty should be represented in the Faculty Senate and in the University Senate and that a joint committee comprised of present members of the University Senate and certain non-tenured faculty members consider the membership of non-tenured faculty in the Faculty Senate.
B. Chancellor's Committees
The Committee recommends to the Chancellor and the Chairmen of the Chancellor's Committees that there be appropriate student membership on most Committees. Of particular concern are the Academic Programs Development Committee (APDC) and the University Planning Council, both of which should have adequate student representation.
At the present time, this Committee sees no advantage in adding students to the following Chancellor's Committees: Animal Care, Radiation Sources, Veteran's Credit Appraisal, MASUA, MURA, OTS, Inter-University Committee on Travel Grants, University Council on Water Resources, Water Resources Committee, Policy Committee for Kansas Water Resources, Space Sciences Executive Committee, NASA Advisory Committee, and the Committee
Careful study of other committees should be carried forward expeditiously in consultation with student representatives in order to ascertain the appropriateness of adding student members to them.
