On personnel committees
Faculty Senate favors students
By JOYCE ROUTSON
Of the Emerald
A motion recommending
students serve in two University
personnel committees passed the
Faculty Senate by one vote
Wednesday.
The motion was introduced by
ASUO Senate President
Stephanie Larsen and will go
before the general faculty March
10. It stipulates three members
each sit on the Professional
School Personnel Committee and
the College of Liberal Arts
Personnel Committee.
(The personnel committees,
which deal with matters of
promotion and tenure, were
established by the faculty in
January. Previously, the Ad

job fair
A job fair for veterans will be
held from 10a.m. to 4p.m. March
1 at the Lane County
Fairgrounds. The job fair is being
sponsored by the National
Alliance of Businessmen (NAB)
and the Eugene Chamber of
Commerce.
NAB Metropolitan Chairman
Bob Booth said, “There are
approximately 1,400 unemployed
veterans in Lane County of which
we anticipate upwards of 500 to
be in attendance at this fair. We
are asking employers to come
with available jobs or to come
with applications with an eye
toward hiring a vet as job slots
open up.”
Booth said he hoped the fair
would yield 60 to 100 jobs within
90 days after the event. About 75
employers have already agreed
to participate Booth said.
EMU request heard
The Fiscal Committee met
Wednesday night and heard the
first half of the EMU budget
request. The second portion will
be presented to the Fiscal
Committee tonight. The EMU
budget request will be reported in
Friday’s paper.
visory Council had been handling
the investigation.)
The 12-11 with three ab
stentions vote inspired much
discussion among Faculty Senate
members.
One, Wendell Bayse, chairman
of the Professional School Per
sonnel Committee, opposed it. He
said, “I feel there are no par
ticular reasons students wili be
able to investigate a case any
better than faculty members.
Other adverse considerations
Bayse brought up were that
“Adding three students gives no
assurance different con
sideration will go toward the
quality of teaching,” the dif
ficulty of students measuring
professional criteria such as
publications and credentials and
the unwieldiness if the committee
is enlarged.
Ms. Larsen, in arguing for the
motion, said she saw students on
the committee “as an asset to the
committee so better judgments
can be made of teaching
evaluation.”
She stressed the importance of
having students, who are
familiar with faculty members’
teaching, on the committee
because quality of teaching is
one of the criteria by which an
eligible faculty member is
judged. “Although we have
different considerations, we’re
still worried about Teaching
quality—we are the recipients.”
Supporting Ms. Larsen’s
contentions was Herb Titus,
professor of law. He said, since
the State Board of Higher
Education Academic Affairs
Committee turned down a
proposal for student participation
on their committees, perhaps this
is the place student participation
should be.
“I look at this proposal as the
only way students have an op
portunity to meaningfully par
ticipate in matters affecting their
lives,” he said. "Of all the issues
students have to have the op
portunity to participate in, it is
here.” Titus also suggested that
students be allowed to participate
in appointment of new faculty.
Two other arguments against
the motion were raised by
Faculty Senate members.
Ron Rousseve, CSPA
professor, said he was “am
bivalent” about the motion but
said students may have had no
contact with the faculty they

were being asked to investigate.
George Struble, director of the
Computer Center, said the risks
are large because students may
not give due consideration to
departmental findings.
Trials set
at center
Proceedings in the case of
Doris Clark vs. Greyhound Bus
Lines will continue in the United
States District Court at the Law
Center today.
The case, which is expected to
go to the jury today, is one of
several that is being tried at the
Law Center while the court is in
residence in Eugene.
Proceedings in the V. L.
Wilkerson vs. Standard Oil
Company are expected to start
shortly after the conclusion of the
Clark case.
Ms. Clark contends that
Greyhound Bus Lines was
negligent when she was struck by
a truck in the early morning
hours on Sept. 18, 1969, in Elkton,
Ore.
She claims that while she was a
passenger on Greyhound Bus
Lines a rest stop was made at
Elkton. At Elkton, she says she
exited the bus and proceeded to
cross Highway 38 and was struck
by the truck. Ms. Clark contends
Greyhound should have either not
allowed her to cross or provided
an area where she could have
crossed safely.
