Closer Faculty Cooperation
Goal Set by ASUO Senate
In a move to reduce overlapping
student activities and settle the
question of jurisdiction in student
affairs, the ASUO senate Thurs
day night passed a resolution call
ing for closer cooperation with the
faculty student affairs committee.
The resolution was proposed by
Tom Shepherd, chairman of the
student activities evaluation com
mittee. His committee has been
investigating action of the faculty
committee in abolishing the Mortar
Board and Military balls last term.
Shepherd said the "heart of the
problem” was: 1) the senate should
be more influential, and 2) the stu
dent affairs committee should be
more representative of the student
body.
Donald M. DuShane, director of
student affairs, outlined the his
tory of the student affairs com
mittee. He pointed out that it is
primarily a faculty committee on
which students served only through
faculty consent.
It was a sub-committee com
posed of student members that
recommended the abolishment of
the two dances, he said.
“The office of student affairs
and the ASUO senate, in no way,
are in disagreement over the prob
lem of student activities,” Du
Shane remarked.
Charges against the rally board
were leveled by Bob McCracken,
chairman of a temporary senate
committee investigating that body.
According to McCracken the board
minutes have been poorly kept and
finances carelessly handled.
Recommendation of the commit
tee was that a new rally board
charter be adopted by the senate.
Suggested changes were a reduc
tion in membership and an increase
