Committee starts code implementation
After nearly 10 months of paper work, practical implementation of the new Senate Code will begin next week when three ASC-designated students begin regular meetings with the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, Ambrose Saricks, associate graduate school dean, announced last night.
The announcement came after the final formal step in the approval procedures, yesterday, the acceptance by the State Board of Regents.

for campuses across the nation where students intend to get involved and take part in their educational processes.
"To put student-faculty relations on a formal basis is important," Wescoe said, "because now the University's governing structure will be apparent to all and no one person will appear as the be-all and end-all in power."
Wescoe emphasized that to have the document is one thing, but to effectively implement it will take a lot more effort and hard work.
