Faculty Senate urges
ASUO governance
of own office rules
By JOYCE ROUTSON
Of the Emerald
The Faculty Senate
unanimously recommended
Tuesday that students should be
responsible for their own
regulations regarding holding
elected office instead of the
faculty.
The Senate also considered
motions on other matters
students could be responsible for
but declined to act on them.
Passed were two motions. The
first stated the following:
—To be eligible for holding an
ASUO office, students must meet
the requirements “as are or shall
be set forth in the ASUO Con
stitution or By-Laws.”
—No student shall be eligible as
a candidate for office unless
certified by the EMU director.
—The ASUO shall notify the
President of the University of any
changes in eligibility
requirements.
The motion went on to make the
following points:
—A student who is suspended
or expelled from the University
or disqualified from enrolling is
denied all privileges of student
status.
—No student may participate
in intercollegiate athletic com
petition unless certified by the
faculty athletic representative. A
student is automatically
ineligible unless he is currently
enrolled as a regular student and
carrying at least 12 term hours of
work (a lighter load permitted
seniors and final term graduate
students).
The effect of the motion, ac
cording to Edward Price,
chairman of the ad hoc Com
mittee for examining
Regulations Regarding Student
Activities, is “providing the
ASUO with the power of decision
over student activities.”
He added that the ad hoc
committee was set up to clarify
some of the ambiguities existing
between student and faculty
legislation.
The recommended Senate
legislation (it must be passed by
the general faculty at their
meeting June 7 to become ef
fective) supercedes existing
faculty policy of April 1967 and
April 1971.
That policy required students
to be carrying at least 12 term
hours of work if an un
dergraduate and nine hours if a
graduate student. The same
number of respective hours were
required to have been completed
in the last previous term at the
University, counting in
completes.
If the motion is passed by the
faculty the following regulations
in the ASUO By-Laws shall go
into effect:
—Undergraduates shall be
registered for at least 12 hours

during each of at least three
terms during his term of office
—Graduate students shall be
registered for at least six hours
during each of at least three
terms during term of office.
—Graduating seniors may take
a lighter course load provided
degree conferment is not post
poned.
The question of clarifying of
fice holding requirements first
arose in January, 1971. At that
time, student body president Ron
Eachus was suspended from
office because he had not com
pleted the minimum of nine
credit hours for graduate studies
in business during fall term.
Eachus appealed the ruling,
saying that regulations published
in the University’s Ad
ministrative manual and those
set down by the ASUO were
different. He said he had met the
student-set requirements of a six
hour minimum.
The final decision on Eachus’
status was delegated to the
Student Administrative Board
(SAB) by President Robert
Clark. The board ruled that
Eachus could remain as student
body president and Clark set in
motion the April legislation to
erase the ambiguities.
The second motion passed
repealed legislation of 1939 which
authorized the now-defunct
Student Affairs Committee “to
refuse permission for all events
which in the opinion of the
committee are likely to interfere
with scholastic work."
Three other motions submitted
by Price were not acted upon by
the Faculty Senate. They dealt
with delegation of student
responsibilities regarding
recognizing student
organizations, scheduling rooms,
and fundraising activities.
Other legislation passed by the
Faculty Senate dealt with
transfer credit.
By a vote of 19-4 with two ab
stentions, the Senate passed a
motion putting the following
restrictions on transfer credit:
—credit earned in lower
division terminal (short term)
vocational courses will not be
accepted.
—credit earned in lower
division technological courseswill
not be accepted unless equivalent
courses are offered at the
University or its off-campus
schools of Medicine, Nursing, or
Dentistry.
James McWilliams, chairman
of the Admissions Policy Com
mittee which introduced the
motion, said the motion was
made to insure “the integrity of
the bachelor's degree would be
upheld.” He added that the
motions effect would be to
“legitimize practices followed
many years.”
Under the legislation, if passed
by the faculty, lower division
courses such as woodworking,
engineering technology and auto
mechanics could not be accepted
for transfer credit.
The motion was made in the
face of a recommendation by the
State Board of Higher Education
to liberalize transfer credit
policies on technological courses.
The Board pointed out that
Oregon State University' and
Oregon Technical Institute have
many such courses.
McWilliams was uncertain
whether the Senate action would
be overruled by the Board.
The Faculty Senate will meet
again Monday to consider motion
on the Status of Faculty Women
Committee and amendments to
the Student Conduct Code.
