The report, presented at the meeting by Paul R. Burton, associate professor of biology and physiology, suggested that the following changes be made in the current structure of college faculty and student representation: that there be expansion in the number of elected committees within the College; that the constitution of the college assembly be all college faculty of the rank of instructor, elected part time faculty (teaching assistants and assistant instructors) and elected undergraduate student representatives; that there be five elected committees, with membership on these consisting of nine regular faculty representatives, two teaching assistants and assistant instructors and three undergraduate representatives; that all members of the afore mentioned committees be accorded voting rights; and that to insure minority group representation on the committees an "enabling clause" be adopted, which would allow the various committees, if they desired, to augment their committee membership by seeking out minority group mem-
A subcommittee report on bylaws and legislation generated a certain amount of debate at the College Faculty Meeting Tuesday in Woodruff Auditorium of the Kansas Union.
Report prompts debate
Upon completion of his report Burton was asked by William L. Silvert, associate professor of physics, why there should be an established delineation between minority group members and students. He said he considered minority group members simply as students and not as members of a certain minority. He suggested that all student representatives be elected through normal channels and that a recourse be provided for minority groups in case they did not feel they had received proper representation.
He said he did not feel that the "enabling clause" did anyone justice in that it amounted to revolution by fiat by the Faculty Council, which is to be comprised of the five elected committees.
Several faculty members questioned the need for establishing a Faculty Council. This group suggested that the present faculty meetings served the purposes that the committee meetings would serve and allowed a greater number of faculty members to be heard. In response to these comments, Burton pointed out the poor attendance of the College faculty meetings and said he felt the committees, being a smaller group, would be more efficient than the potential membership of the entire College faculty.
A question about the value of greater student representation
was brought up by Howard Kahane, associate professor of philosophy. Kahane commented that he wondered if greater student representation in the areas of degree requirements would not somehow negate the value of the degree.
Kansas City quarterback Len Dawson is one of the few players to qualify for a pension in both the National and American football leagues.
A counter to this remark came from another faculty member who said he felt that in the area of student-faculty relations, an ideal situation should be a community of interests between the two parties and, in this respect, student representation was necessary.
Adding to the comments on this subject, Herbert Galton, associate professor of Slavic languages, said if student desires to abolish the language requirement were any indication of students' thoughts on degrees, then he felt the degree could be damaged internationally. He said that taking into consideration the average American student's lack of knowledge of other cultures and languages, the American degree would be of less value internationally if the language requirement were abolished.
