Faculty Senate To Deliberate Former Motions Four motions will be discussed and recommendations made by the Faculty Senate in their Wednes day meeting. The faculty will act on the motions at its meeting May 10. The first three motions were made by C. F. Weigle, chairman of the special committee for the study of academic requirements. The first would change resi dence requirements for the bachel or’s degree from 45 hours (nor mally the last 45) to 45 term hours of the last 60 presented for the de gree. This would make it possible to take up to 15 hours of the last 60 off-campus without petitioning the Academic Requirements Com mittee, Weigle explained. The second motion would make uniform requirements for, all stu dents by requiring a minimum of 62 hours in upper-division courses for the bachelor’s degree. In the ^jpast, only 45 such hours have been required for majors in the profes sional schools. Concerning the second bachel or’s degree, the third motion states that “a second bachelor’s degree may be granted, but an additional 86 term hours of credit shall be earned in residence beyond the re quirements for the first degree.” “This would be putting into leg islation procedure that has been followed previously, but was not an official rule,” Weigle stated. The final motion, to be present ed by R. T. Ellickson, chairman of the committee for faculty organi zation and procedure, would de cree that any faculty member hold ing the title of dean shall be in eligible for election to the Advi sory Council. Missing in Action: 'Queen of Siberia' If you see“Gloria, Queen of Siberia,” around the campus, Victor C, Strash, professor of Slavic languages, would like to know about it. “Gloria” is a poster that used to adorn the south hall of the first floor of Friendly. Mr. Strash said it turned up missing recently. He’d like to take a picture of it before it’s destroyed.

Each of the professional schools and the College of Liberal Arts will nominate one representative to the Board. The joint committee, consisting of four members of the present Student Union Board and four members of the Executive Coun cil, will review the petitions and interview approved candidates. Recommendations will then be re ferred to President Newburn around May 18 for final approval. The system of review by the joint committee is in keeping with the Board’s new perpetuation plan.

They in turn made final approval, subject to confirmation by Presi dent Newburn. In accordance with the plan, the Student Union Board will consist of eight student representatives— one from each of the six profes sional schools and two from the College of Liberal Arts.

The extension of the election, originally announced Wednes day, is being contested by the law school student body in a oeti 4-™, £1^,1 'EM._1 i * invu j- niu ouci > . Mountain based his petition on the grounds that according to the old constitution, only un dergraduate students are mem bers of the ASUO (Article III). He feels that the judiciary com mittee could rule that «t he approxi mately 2100 students who voted Wednesday constitute one-half of the registered undergraduate stu dents. The petition was intended as an open letter to the Judiciary Com mittee. Little Opposition The petition also states that sub stantial compliance with the 50 per cent rule is enough to make the election valid if it be shown that Today Last Chance For Kwama Petitions Today is the deadline for peti tions for membership in Kwama, sophomore women’s service honor ary. Petitions must be turned in to President Lorna Larson at Chi Omega by 5 p.m. Any freshman woman with a GPA of 2.00, both cumulative and last term, is eligible to petition. A clear snapshot or photograph must accompany each application. Membership is based on activi ties and scholarship. New mem bers will be tapped at the Mortar Board Ball, May 27. there was no appreciable opposi tion to the new constitution. Moun tain stated that as many students voted Wednesday as have ever voted in any similar election. Furthermore, Mountain contin ued, the Judiciary Committee is not bound by statutes such as affect cities and counties, since there are no such statutes respecting the AS UO. Plea to Committee “There are compelling reasons of policy why your committee should not declare the election Wednesday to be invalid. The constitution is the product of extended study by many students. It is agreed by all campus groups to be a great im provement over the old basic docu ment. "There was no appreciable oppo sition to the new constitution ex cept in the School of Law where a number of students protested, not the constitution, but the manner iri which the election was extended ov er three days. “Admitting the serious doubt that this procedure casts on the election, it is believed that this con stitution, which is the product of many months of hard work by in terested students, can be saved,’’ Mountain said. The petition has not yet been filed with the Judiciary committee, and does not contain the sworn af fidavits of five witnesses as did the tion of a person.
