Top administrators offer
opinions of co-governance
Co-governance. 'Hie idea is making the
rounds, being discussed by both students and
| faculty, but the three top men in University
President Robert Clark’s administration say
they think the University already has too
| much co-governance
Gerald Bogen, vice president for student
services; Harry Alpert, vice president for
i academic affairs and provost, and Ray Hawk,
•: vice president for administration and finance
| expressed their views on eo-govemanee
recently in Emerald interviews.
Bogen said, “The form of that govern
ment and the form of participation and
determ ination if there are issues which are
•: properly retained by the University president
or faculty executive is still under discussion
::: and will have to evolve.”
Bogen said students already play a
| significant role in University affairs, pointing
out that students serve on faculty
administrative and ad hoc committees and
that the ASUO executive, or his represen
j: tative, may meet with the Administrative
Committee.
“These kinds of things other universities
never even thought about,” Bogen said.
Out of 57 standing faculty and ad
ministrative committees (including Faculty
Senate), students have positions on 36.
Students also have input on search
committees appointed by Harry Alpert, vice
president for academic affairs and provost.
Alpert said, “I’ve been very much im
pressed with the quality of student par
i ticipation.”
Alpert said he would subscribe to
5 President Clark’s proposal regarding co
governance as a “reasonable basis’’ for
discussion.
Clark, in a recent Emerald commentary,
indicated that a ten percent student
representation in a University Senate would
be acceptable.
The problem with equal co-governance,
said Alpert, is “if students outvoted the
faculty, I don’t think it would be legal.”
He said that under the basic law which
created the university, the curricula is
founded in the faculty.
Ray Hawk, vice president for ad
ministration and finance, had a stronger
viewpoint regarding equal co-governance
“I have certainly no objection to student
input or interpretation, but I think it
ridiculous to have co-equality,” he said.
Hawk said there was no way to buy the
kind of experience that faculty members have
and while faculties are more mobile than
other professions, students were transitory.
“Students’ lives are wrapped up in many
things,” he said. “Normally, they don’t get
into things until a sophomore or junior and by
the time they’ve learned something, they are
gone.”
Hawk said when people got angry at the
University, “one who’s going to be cussed is
the President Accountability can never be
placed on students.”
Also pointing out student participation on
faculty and administrative committees,
Hawk said, “There’s probably more par
ticipation offered here than any other in
stitution. I think we are well ahead of what’s
happening most places.”

Elections rescheduled
because of ‘complaints’
The ASUO general elections, formerly scheduled for
Monday and Tuesday, have been rescheduled for Wednesday
and Thursday, according to Fred Loveys, ASUO vice-president.
Complications during the primary elections necessitated
the postponement of the generals, when three complaints were
filed against one of the two qualifying tickets.
The Elections Court will hear complaints filed against Doug
Marshall and Cathy Fitzpatrick today.
Whether the court decides to invalidate the candidacy of
Marshall-Fitzpatrick or not, Loveys said the candidates will
need more time to campaign for the general elections.
