Teaching proposals . . .

tional to our goal of a quiet inquiry into the report and its research methods." Knapper
Joel Gold, professor of English, said that if a meeting was held in which faculty challenged the report. "We will be seen in the ogre role in which we have been cast. We are being pushed into a corner in a way that seems very political."
After yesterday's meeting, Iliff said, "I have to emphasize that this was done in an atmosphere of good will. There were no antagonists."
He said the proposals that dealt with assistant instructors and teaching assistants were "well-received." Hiff said that Zather told the meeting that the English department was already complying with most of the report's recommendations.
The commission also recommended that assistant instructors be evaluated twice a semester by three faculty members selected at random from his department. The assistant instructors must attend every lecture of the course they help teach that is given during the first eight weeks of his first semester of assistant teaching.
The report suggested that assistant instructors be required to maintain a "IP" average, and that a uniform removal policy be established. It also suggested that tuition fee waivers and other benefits be sought for assistant instructors.
ROLFS SAID THAT many of the concerns of Senix centered on definitions of words used in communication.
Five homes still sought
Only five students still are living in temporary housing in the University of Kansas residence halls, J. J. Wilson, housing director, said yesterday.
the on-empus house shortage eased during the Labor Day weekend because the government was slowing.
A list of temporary housing spaces is available at the University Information Center and at the office of the Dean of Foreign Students for students arriving during the weekend, Fred McEhlenie, associate dean of men, said.
One or two spaces may be available in the scholarship halls, Wilson said, but Stouffer Place, the University-owned housing for married students. is full.
Wilson said all students living in residence rooms would move home for dorm room accommodations便宜 housi
One point that SenEx made was that
it couldn't be manipulated at the top. Rofs said,
couldn't be manipulated at the top. Rofs said,
As many as 30 students had been living in iron rooms, while waiting to be offered a place in college.
The commission's suggestion that sabbatical leave be given for improvement of classroom teaching was an example of such a proposal, Rolfs said, because sabbatical leave was dictated by the limitations that the state legislature put on the University.
SenEx recommended the deletion of the report's proposal that asked the faculty to promote tenure at KU. The proposal said clear-cut definitions were needed, and SenEx members said that evaluation criteria couldn't be defined explicitly. Hiff et al.
The report also suggested the establishment of an ambuschman, to hear student grievances, which would operate out of the Office of Academic Affairs.
THE REPORT CONTAINED a proposal that all teaching rewards should carry a five to 10 per cent increase in pay in addition to an honourarium of $1,000.
SenEx responded to the idea of five new teaching chairs by saying that their establishment would result in an unnatural connection between faculty members, Roila said.
The report also recommended that the Office of Instructional Research be
enlarged into a vice-chancellor's office that would work with methods of improving teaching. It also suggested that new classroom construction and rework of classrooms in older buildings be directed towards creating an atmosphere conductive to teaching.
SenEx suggested that the commission include a statement in its report that outlined what kind of research the commission had done.
One general criticism made by SenEx was its concern that a cross section of faculty members was not contacted by the department, gathering data for its report. Roffs said.
In other action Friday, ExenEx reappointed the Financial Exigency Committee to consider objections to the committee's report raised by Dei Shank, executive vice
Last spring the committee drew up guidelines for when the University should declare exigency, defined as the financial condition of the university, to tenure faculty to stay within its budget.
SenEx accepted the motion of Arthur Breiphol, member of SenEx, that the committee study Shankel's objections, negotiate with the administration and bring a compromise to SenEx, the University Council and the University Senate.

SENEXE referred the investigation of purchasing group liability insurance for KU faculty to the Committee on Faculty Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities.
Horowitz, said she paid $3 a year for a group liability policy while a single policy with less coverage would be better.
A June decision of the Kansas Supreme Court ruled laws保护 state agencies from liability suits unconstitutional, leaving University and its employees open to suits.
STUDEX ALSO recommended four persons for KU's committee to coordinate a study of the requirements of Tule IX of the College to the Federal Higher Education Act.
SenEx agreed that a group policy for most faculty could be beneficial, but that personnel at the KU Medical Center, law school and engineering school might be excluded in a group policy, because they would be required to law suits. SenEx members said.
Zuber said Shankel would select two of Zuber's four recommendations, whose names are shown in the table.
