Senate Asks ’Universal' Course Survey .. . (Continued from fmtir 1) booklet. “I know we haven’t got a very j good program here, but I think we’ve got a good start.” “It (the book) wasn’t designed to improve teaching. It was de signed to fill an information gap.” Senator^at-large Mike Dona hue, who is also chairman of the Senate’s Public Affairs Commit tee, was also critical, arguing that j the faculty had no idea of what the survey would be like this year. “How can the faculty adopt, on a universal basis, a survey they know nothing about?” “If you came up to me and asked me to co-operate with you on something, and I asked you what it is, and you say a Course Reaction Survey, and I asked you what it was, and you said We don’t have it yet,’ how could I cooperate?” More Objections And Nancy Holmes, women’s co-op representative, objected to the bill being passed by the Sen ate “simply to meet the faculty meeting in November — before they even see what they’ll be vot ing on.” But Leo pointed out that the faculty has seen the survey:! “It’ll probably be the same as last year.” he said, because he doubted that a completely new I JOBS ABROAD 6UARANTEED .. aabisi* rl-ticz: *-'**-■ ENGLAND BRUSSELS: The Int’l Student Information Service, non-profit, today announced that 1,000 GUARANTEED JOBS ABROAD are available to young people 17% to 40 .Year-Round and Sum mer.

"I think the motion and the booklet should stand as it is, recognizing that these things are in the works." Gary Feuerberg said he thought, like his brother, that the survey was “a pretty poor in strument,” and that the Senate was wasting its energy on some thing that wasn’t worth it. Second Thoughts ‘T’ve had some second thoughts about it, too," replied Dave Mc Closkey, chairman of the Sen ate's Academic Affairs Commit tee." But 1 think we should push for a wider sample." McCloskey argued that the only way to determine the value of the Survey was to try it on such a basis. "I can’t see how you can logic ally ask anybody to accept some thing they know nothing, about,” Donahue repeated. "The survey was designed for one goal—and that is informa tional," Leo repeated. Vice-President Lee Bollinger j then called a recess. A move by Marvin Feuerberg to table the bill, after the session resumed, failed, by a vote of 9 to 5, with one abstention. 12,1 nA|ka|A DZMD UUIIW The Senate uien voted, 10-2, three abstentions, to end the de bate. The Senate then voted on Leo’s motion and passed it, 11 to 4. In other business—and all oth er business was taken care of before Leo introduced his motion concerning the Course Reaction Survey—the Senate: • Unanimously passed a mo tion—also written by Leo—rec ommending that the University adopt a system of computer reg istration “as soon as possible, preferably beginning with fall term of the school year 1967 68.” “In the long run it will not only be more equitable and more efficient, but cheaper,” Leo said. Under the system, tested dur ing registration once during the 1963-64 year and during fall term of 1965. the registration packet would consist of whole sheets on which all class schedules and sup plementary information would be recorded, eliminating the bulky card packet.

The motion, presented by Sen j ator Jerry Norton, provid ed for two men’s and t w o worn en's off - campus represents tives, plus one representative; from the new College Inn. But it was smothered when! Dave McCloskey argued that it wasn’t strong enough because “60 per cent of the students live on campus,” and Roger Leo remark ed that off campus students were apathetic toward student gov ernment because the Senate spent too much time "chasing around amending the Constitution and not getting anything done.” Called Cnfuir And (Ircg Foote said he felt the motion was unfair, because no on-campus living units had in dividual representatives About 400 students live at the College Inn. • Unanimously approved a motion by Chuck Stout establish ing a Senate fiscal committee "to be concerned with any liscal prob iem*» nuiiiTriun* uir Kltidcrit body." und providing that ASUo .senators on the SU-EdAc Budget Committee be voting members of the comntittee. • Unanimously approved a mo tion by Dave McCioskey that the Senate require notices of motion to be giv.m on pending legislation at the meeting immediately prior to consideration.
