Change in Faculty Senate makeup approved
Staff Writer
A proposed change in University governance was accepted and two were defeated yesterday by the University Council.
The Council accepted a proposal by the University Committee on Organization and Administration (O and A) to provide that Faculty Senate represents from at least three schools, or two schools and the libraries, be elected to serve on SenEx.
This year, for the first time, all except one of the faculty members on SenEx are from Australia.
THE AMENDMENT WAS proposed by O and A to provide better representation in SenEx.
Although the composition of SenEx will change, the University Council will remain
To insure greater representation on the University Council, O and A proposed an amendment to provide for at least two members from each school of the University on the Council. The amendment was defeated.
The Senate Code now states that at least one member from each school of the district must be a candidate.
ALSO DEFEATED WAS an amendment stating that schools with fewer than 40 faculty members would have one teacher per student, with fewer than 40 faculty members would have two.
However, Margaret Byrne, chairman of O and A, said that the Council was representative of all schools, and the larger ones are more important than the smaller ones.
She added that Council members were elected for three years, making it difficult to maintain a proportional number of representatives.
BEFORE THE DISCUSSION closed, Jacob Gordon, associate professor of African studies, said that representation of African women on the Council also should be examined.

The Faculty Council also met yesterday and discussed frime benefits.
Faculty Council members voted last week on a list of burgess benefit priorities. The
HIGH ON THE list of priorities was state payment of the group life insurance premium, liberalized long-term disability and a liberalized sabbatical leave policy.
results showed the first priorities to be an increased state contribution to faculty retirement plans and state coverage of full family medical insurance.
This year, because of a dim prospect for substantial faculty salary raises, fringe benefits have gained renewed interest among faculty members.
The Faculty Council then voted to let SenEx and the administration explore the feasibility of presenting these fringe benefits to the state legislature.
Sino-U.S. relations called unsure
The future of Sino-American relations, clouded by the political turmoil that has rocked China since the murder of Ma Tse-tung, may remain uncertain for some time. Allen Whiting, professor of political science at University of Michigan, said last night.
Whiting, who acted as a consultant to Henry Kissinger in the months before then-President Nixon's first trip to China in 1972, told about 100 people at a lecture in Wescow Hall that he didn't expect conflict with China. He cautioned, however, that many aspects of China's future foreign policy were still in doubt.

Whiting said recent developments in China might signify that radical forces were leaving the government. The radical ideology, he said, preached independence from foreign influence, bolder than from China's ex-communist allies and Russia in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Writing said that the October arrest of Chiang Ching-I, Mae's widow and a leading figure in the radical forces, could mean that the moderates were gaining the upper hand over the extremists. The moderates created by Mae's death. The moderates, formerly led by Premier Chou En-lai, who
"THE GAME, THE GAME of triangulation, could and should be played by the Chinese both ways as we have played it both ways," he said.
In any event, Whiting said, the United States shouldn't expect any concrete policy decisions from China in the near future. It is still too early to tell, he said, which of the United States' ideologies eventually would become the real determinant of Chinese foreign policy.
Committee members also will discuss mailing a general campus newsletter containing the document to all University members before the Senate meeting.
Soviet reviews U.S. revolt
The American Revolution was fought for the expansion of an already existing system, a leading Soviet historian said last night.
The document outlines procedures to be followed if a financial crisis forces the University to dismiss tenured faculty members.
Nikolai Bokhovitinov, a senior research scholar at the Institute of General History at the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences in Moscow, spoke to about 25 people at Wescoe Hall about "The Soviet View of the American Revolution."
He said that the French and English revolutions of the 17th and 18th centuries brought about a transition from feudalism to capitalism, but that the changes resulting from the American Revolution weren't as dramatic. The American Revolution was an "international" type of revolution, not a fight for transformation, he said.
He said that Marx and Lennin highly praised the American revolutionaries. Lennin called the American Revolution "one of the greatest liberating 'wars.'" Bolkhovinnov said.
Balkovitinov, who is teaching this semester at Portland State University, has been the subject of two American relations. Two of these books, which have recently appeared in English translations are "Russia and the American Relations," and "The Beginnings of Russian-American Relation."
The American Revolution dealt with freeing the obstacles to capitalist development.
The Graduate Student Council (GSC) will sponsor a get-together for graduate students and their friends from 3:30 to 6:30 PM on Friday, March 18, in Hewk Hawk's Nest. Free beer will be served.
Although many papers were published in the United States on the leaders of the
Ellen Reynolds executive director of the GSC, said yesterday that "I'd like to see this be the first in a number of things to bring from different departments together."
"We have to be patient about China," he said. "We should look not to 180 but to the year 2030."
The executive committee of the American Association of University Professors (AUAP) will meet this afternoon to discuss final plans for presenting a financial exigency document to the University Senate at its meeting Dec. 2.
Council to have a get-together in 'Hawks Nest
Writing said that the ascension of the moderates also could mean that China would soften its stance toward the Soviet Union, and it was possible to renew close relationship, which the two nations enjoyed in the 1950s. It could develop that China would play Russia and the United States against one another as the US would give a second chance after Nikon's first visit to China, he said.
Reynolds said that Frank Burge director of the Union, had donated the room and the first keg of beer. Because GSC is financed totally by student activity fees, she said, its funds can't be used to pay for social gatherings.
"Right now graduate students have no place to get together," she said. "If enough people show up, next time we might have to continue." The unlikely want to continue the get-together's.
died last January, advocated modernization of China through contacts with outside powers, even at the expense of Communist ideology.
If enough people are interested in the get-togetherst and if they're continued, Reynolds said, the problem of financing them will have to be solved.
AAUP group set to discuss exigency plan
American Revolution, he said, there wasn't much study of the "ordinary people" in the country. He told me that
Bolkotinovit said that "ordinary people" mustn't be excluded from taking part in a revolution because their role was sometimes large. A study of these people would enlarge the understanding of revolutionary events, he said.
Bolkovitinhov, whose visit was sponsored by the department of history and Slavic and Soviet area studies, will lead an informal discussion on "The Study of Early Russian-American Relations" at 2:30 p.m. today in 4001 Wescow.

"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
In the second Psalm God asks this question, and then answers it. He tells who the heathen are, why they rage, and the consequences. Webster says "a heathen is one who does not believe in the God of The Bible." This definition fits in with what God says in this Psalm. The consequences are that God laughs at man's rebellion, speaks in his wrath, holds them in dexterity and veins in his sore diaplex — is there a reason for this? How should we answer? "Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, Thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel!" Think of the broken pieces of the Jewish people scattered over about the face of the earth, the nation to whom this message first came! About six million of them have been broken and perished within recent years. Instead of raging and railing at poor old Hilt it may be wise for us all to consider how much our rage against God's Law may have been a cause, remembering what Christ said to Pilate: "Thou must have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above." "Not one sparrow falls to the ground without your heavenly Father." "The cursue causes shall not come!"
Psalms 2 and Acts 4:25
It is the indefentil men that cause them to rage against God's Moral Law His Ten Commandment! The devil, God and man's enemy. Christians are not immune from the devil entering into them. This statement is based on the experience of the Apostle Peter whom Christ declared before him, "God hath given unto you the angel in the context of the same passage Jesus said to Peter: 'Gee be behind me Satan; thou art an offense unto Me; for thou favorsest not of the things that be of God, but those that be of man.' Mat. 16:13-28. Peter was saved through the Inferiority of Christ who after whilting his sword at his brother, he became the devil gained entrance into Peter because of his ignorance and unbelief of God's judgment that was to come upon Christ for the sins of mankind, their substitute, Peter was not seeking his own selfish ends when he left all to follow Christ. He had gotten a vision of himself and had said to Him: "Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, Lord I was given by him, but even then he was in great danger when the devil got in him."
(Today the church is lousy with those "who loseest not of the things of God, but that he be of men," rejecting the plain teachings and truth
of The Bible that God's wrath fell on Christ to atone for the sins of all mankind, provided they so accept Him, and it is to be feared that they have no spiritual kinship all at with Peter. "He that despised Moses' laws died without mercy under two or three witnesses; of how much sorrow he endured to suffer those who shall be hallowed trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the Spirit of grace? For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me! I will recompense, the Lord And. Again, The Lord shall judge His people. It is a fearful thing to fall into sin, and then he shall be hallowed to a suggestion to those whose eyes are open and are horrified at the awful apophasy in high church circles: if you are not in a position to make an "ovverture" somewhere or other, then hasten and make a "detour" to your prayer closet, shut the door, and in secret lay the matter before your Father which sees in secret, and then he will make a detour, and he has made oath "That the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea."
The devil also entered into another of Christ's disciples, held his ground, and finally carried him off to persecution a traitor and suicidel he got into Judas because he was self-skeeling, coveteous, a hop, a hief stealing from the meager means of the little "splinter band" of Christ and His disciples. (have you stolen someone else? How did you get yourself as off as a Christian?) The devil knows he has a buddy, a friend and partner in a coveteous, hoggish thief. That may account for the fact that the legion of devils about to be cast out of one poor man prayed Christ to let them go into the hood of hogs. Beware of coveting that which is another's; for Christ gave the devils permission to attack the poor man who drowned in those four-legged hogs when they ran wild and drowned in the sea, and seemed to say by their action "we had rather be dead than red' devil!
