Senate Asks ’Universal' Course Survey .. .

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 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.

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.

These sheets would be fed
through computers, the informa

the cards used to record the data

“The procedure might only by
80 per cent effective,” Leo admit
ted.. “But the present system is
at least that bad.”
• Unanimously passed a mo
tion by Governing Committee
Chairman Mike Donahue that the
ASUO hold a mock election on
the Oregon gubernatorial and U.S.
Senate races, the California gu

• Tabled a proposed consti
tutional amendment which would
have increased the number of
off-campus student represents
tives in the Senate from two to |
five.
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.”

the motion was unfair, because
