INext Year's Senate to Decide
(Decision of Abolishing Offices Tabled
By Neil Hdpp
Life News Editor
Student Senate has decided
[to wait for one year before
homing to a final decision on
■the resolution to recommend
[that class offices here be abolished.
I After an hour of debate on
■the measure, Seriate voted
119-14 to postpone action to the
(first Senate meeting of May
11966.
The resolution, tabled at
ast week's meeting, was re-in-
[feodxxced and brought to the
[floor of the Senate^ by Thomas
tFope, Barnard senator. Topa
land Gregg Lint, Merrill senator co-sponsored the bill.
I After taking the measure off
|he table, Tope gave. evidence
ps to the inadequacy of class
[officers. Questioning the legality of class officers, Tope
laid, "Every class is flagrant-
|ly violating their own constitutions."
| He then pointed to the past
Ifailures of class officers, saying
(the freshman class of 1962 had
psked Student Senate to go inactive.   Questioning the financial  structure,   Tope   pointed
I to this   same class   and   said •
fthey gave the   Booster   Club
p800 to buy the wooden indi- •
|an which is now placed on the
[Wall of the fieldhouse.
Admitting   his .points   were ■
trivial, Tope proposed an al-
|tornative to class officers, one
t idea being an all-class coun-
V oil.
,'!ls CMU going to be a Uni-
feVersity in reality or just in
I name?    If CMU   is going   to'
;*nove into new  frontiers,  it
I foust rid itself of archaic institutions," Tope said.        .
• The Tope-Lint bill drew sup*
I Port from senator Bandy. Gin-
f ter.   Ginter   commented,   "In
% estimation, the students of
rthe senior class showed .they ;
[*jn*t care about class officers
: w«en they elected the present
• senior class   president,   who
l Said is elected, he Would do
i^thing."
-   However, the bill drew op-
| Position   from   senators   John
*°ungman, Nancy Noble and
I fiaul Huxley.
* Youngman said, "I think the
i I *ses are sovepigau   You can
[not go on the   past, we   are.
here now—we must go on the
future." Noble added that "we-
are attacking something instead of supporting it."
Huxley attacked Tope's reasoning by saying, "As Mr.
Tope said,, the points brought
up were trivial, however, a recount of the votes in the Barnard Hall senatorial election
will show that Mr. Tope, present Barnard senator, was elected by a plurality, not a majority as the Barnard constitution says. Therefore, his
right to sit in Senate could be
challenged. However, I will
not challenge his right at this
time."
In other Senate action, another step was taken to fulfill
the student bill of rights. An
amendment by substitution to
the ordinance on further definition in the bill of student
rights and responsibilites was
passed.
The resoluton read, "The
students of CMU ordain, the
President or his representative
concurring, that all rights and
responsibilities in the Student
Bill of Rights and Responsibilities are accorded to all students of CMU. It is understood
that all ordinances as defined
diider the Student Bill ot
Rights and Responsibilities
may be redefined, limited, and
expanded, with the joint approval of Student Senate, the
President of the University
and the Board of Trustees.
Such action may be initiated
by one or more of the aforementioned University organs."
to  appear before the special
Senate  committee,   said   that
AAUP OK's
Policy Bourd
The proposed Student Academic Policy Board was endorsed Tuesday, by Central's
chapter of the American Association of University Professors.
The endorsement reads, "Believing that CMU students
should have the right to recommend changes in University policies' and regulations,
the CMU chapter of AAUP
endorses the establishment
by the Student Senate of an
Academic Policy Board for
the purpose of making formal
recommendations to the University Senate."
"In the interest of communication between the two organizations, the Chapter recommends that the University
Senate designate two elected
senators and one appointed
senator to confer with the
Policy Board whenever it requests such a meeting."

"Students and townspeople

Don Carr, alumni director
and committee member of the
homecoming, said the first of
these events on campus has an.
underlying theme which was
included in the over 15,000 invitations sent out "You are
urged to return—not so much
to renew your youth as to en-
• rich your age."
Carr also expressed hope
that students here would receive the opportunity to participate in the day's activities.
the real problem at Central
is the "press by the faculty for
more authority, not to recommend, but to make final decisions."
In regard to the many allegations which have been placed upon him, Dr. Foust said,
"I have not been furnished a
list of allegations. I have read
many things that are not true.
I read that 1 changed a student's grades! That is not
true. I defy anyone to prove
it. I have never brought
pressure to bear."
i In an hour and a half testimony, Dr. Fp.ust traced the history of the school and particularly the development of the
faculty senate. He contended
that avenues are open for participation, by "the faculty in
university decisions but that
the final decision must b e
made by the president.
"The hoard of   control   has
given me this   authority   and
they have not told me to give
it to anyone else. Unless they

and applied arts and organizations editors. These editors
would be directly, responsible

The re-organization of editors was planned to give more
adequate coverage to all departments of the university. It
is also hoped that a closer
contact between editors and
reporters can be established
by this plan.

MacPeek for the fall semester
include Neil Hopp, Rogers
City junior, news editor;
James Wojcik,.. Clio senior,
sports editor;. Linda Cross,
Mount Pleasant sophomore,
