    NOTICES OF MOTION
    Paner S.74-132 - Universities Act - Elections - Motion to Suspend Rule VIII
    Moved by R. Brown, seconded by K. Rieckhoff,
    1.
    "That for the regular November meeting to permit
    of discussion and adoption of items pertaining to
    elections under Paper S.74--132, Senate suspend the
    'Rule VIII - Method of Amending - Alteration of
    these Rules of Senate shall require written notice
    at a regular meeting of Senate-prior to the meeting
    at which a vote on the proposed alteration is taken,
    which vote shall require an affirmative vote by two-
    thirds of the voting members present to carry.
    Question was called on Motion 1, and a vote taken.
    MOTION 1 TO SUSPEND
    RULES CARRIED
    Moved by K. Rieckhoff, seconded by R. Brown,
    2.
    "That Senate approve, as set forth in Paper S.74-132,
    the Rules of Senate under Rule IV - ELECTIONS."
    At this point formal
    voLe
    on the proposal was undertaken and it was
    carried, but because of its :importance the Chairman considered that

    although Motion 2 had received approval, it was desirable to provide
    opportunity for further discussion of the Rules with the possibility
    of introducing changes if desired. There being no objection from the
    assembly, Section IV of the Rules of Senate was considered subsection
    by subsection with opportunity for amendment.
    Section IV, A 1 a) and 1. b) were automatically adjusted on the
    basis of earlier agreed changes to the minutes to replace "by the end
    of April" with "by April 15th."
    Responding to a point of informati
    on,
    P. Jewett considered this
    University's definition of a student to be acceptable for the purpose
    of the Universities Act for the particular purposes described, noting
    the special use of full time.
    E. Burkie asked that "he/she" replace the masculine pronouns in
    Sections D. 7 and D. 8. P. Jewett suggested that there be included
    at the beginning of the Rules of Senate the usual phraseology covering
    the use of the masculine/feminine terminology as referring to either
    or both, as appropriate. As there was indication that the terminology
    appeared only in these two clauses, the "he/she" form was accepted.
    A motion was proposed by E. Burkle, "That student tepresentatiVeS
    ?
    on the Board and on the Senate receive academic credit for work done
    on these bodies," but the Chairman suggested the question should be
    considered by other appropriate bodies before presentation to Senate.
    The Dean of Arts agreed to plhce the matter on the agenda of the
    Faculty of Arts curriculum committee for consideration. The proposed
    motion was withdrawn by the mover.
    An amendment was moved by B. Wilson, seconded by I. Allen,
    "That Section C. 2. g) be altered to delete
    the word 'not."'
    The Chairman noted the proposal would necessitate the insertion
    of the word "not" in Section C. 3. b), and both items were before
    Senate.
    B. Wilson compared the duties and responsibiliti
    es
    of lecturers
    to those assigned to demonstrators. He noted that, in accordance with
    the Universities Act, lecturers had faculty status and recommended
    that, due to the parallelism that exists, demonstrators and senior
    demonstrators should be entitle
    d
    to faculty status for the purposes
    of nominations and elections. Considerable debate ensued comparing
    appointment procedures duties and responsibilities of demonstrators
    to lecturers.
    Question was called on the amendment involving changes to C. 2. g)
    and to C. 3. b) , and a vote taken

    An amendment was moved by B. Wilson, seconded by
    J.
    Ellis,
    "That Section G. 2. h) be altered to delete
    the word 'not' And Section.G. 3. c) be
    altered to include the word 'not.'"
    K. Rieckhoff spoke in opposition to the amendment, expressing
    his opinion that any alteration to the categorization of faculty
    should receive prior consideration by faculty, with opportunity to
    submit a recommendation. I. Allen, speaking in favor of the amendment,
    Provided information related to the duties, responsibilities and
    appointment procedures for the two categories of Faculty Associates.
    S. Dawson considered the responsibility of the Associates was primarily
    of an administrative nature and that within the Faculty there earlier
    had not been acceptance.
    Question was called on the amendment, and a vote taken.
    AMENDMENT FAILED
    An amendment was moved by B. Burkl.e, seconded by A. Ilollibaugh,
    to add a paragraph to Section K,
    "Campaign spending of students competing for
    positions on the Board and/or Senate shall
    be limited to $25.00 per candidate. A
    detailed list of expenditures must be sub-
    mitted to the Registrar prior to the counting
    of ballots."
    Question was called on the amendment, and a vote taken.
    AMENDMENT FAILED

    An amendment to add Item 6 to Section L was proposed by E. Burkie,
    "Where both student positions on the Board become vacant and less than
    four months remain in the unexpired terms at the time for call for
    nominations, the designate of the Student Council shall be appointed
    to the Board for time remainder of the term" The proposal was ruled to
    contravene the Universities Act, and was withdrawn with a request that
    a legal opinion he sought and report made to Senate.
    The Chairman commented that the matter would be included in time
    list of proposals to the government, along with a previously recorded
    suggos tion regarding the selection of Alumni appointees.

    B. Wilson asked that I. Whitaker, Chairman of the Sociology and
    Anthropology Department, be granted permission to be seated to respond
    to any questionsrais
    ed
    in connection with the proposal. I. Whitaker
    joined the assembly.
    B. Wilson stated that the curriculum had been developed from a
    draft which had been presented a year ago to Senate, and it had been
    validated by the Faculty of Arts curriculum committee, by referendum
    ballot of the Faculty, the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies,
    and the Academic Planning Committee prior to its presentation to Senate,
    and he recommended Senate's approval.
    S
    K. Rieckhoff expressed his disappointment in thelack of require-
    ments'for electives in other disciplines to complete the degree. He
    was not inclined to approve courses for which faculty is not yet avail-
    able and suggested that the curriculum was without a clear identifiable
    solid core. He felt the curriculum left out certain areas of thought.
    B. Wilson defended the proposal, stating that it was appropriate to
    advertise courses to delineate areas and expertise would be available
    within the next several years to teach the entire curriculum. R. Brown
    added that the presentation was in response to a Senate chaige for an
    academically viable program. E. Burkle commented that the curriculum
    was well grounded although conventional in comparison to programs in
    other universities, and he felt it deserved the support of Senate to
    replace what he called negative and stagnant offerings of the PSA.
    Department. M. Wideen stated he was unable to identify a clear struc-
    ture of the program and questioned how the program differed from
    existing programs across the country. I. Whitaker advised that the
    program was conventional in comparison with other universities and he
    drew attention to the fact that some areas had been deliberately
    .excludd because of the existence of adequate coverage in British
    Columbia.

    proposer, provided limited latitude for requiring students to take
    courses outside their own indigenous areas. T. Sterling considered
    the proposal was well founded, researched and flexible. S. Dawson
    suggested additional documentation verifying the details of the
    various deliberations since the original initiation should be before
    Senate for its scrutiny. P. Copes noted that the Department has two
    disciplines and that students have opportunity to take courses from
    a wide variety of other disciplines. He also considered it would be
    unfair discrimination to expect this Department to specify inter-
    disciplinary prerequisites when this has not been required of other
    disciplines.
    J. D'Auria suggested that the motion to refer be amended to refer
    the document to the Academic 'Planning Committee rather than the
    Department, with an expanded. charge to include consideration of
    individual courses and staffing requirements. As the mover and
    seconder were agreeable, the motion was amended accordingly.
    Question was called on this motion to refer, as amended, and a
    vote taken.
    MOTION TO REFER FAILED

    Amendment was moved by A. Curzon, seconded by A. Hollibaugh,
    "For those courses for which there are not
    faculty available they will not be included
    in the calendar until there are faculty
    available."
    A. Curzon emphasized the motion was not to prevent approval of
    the courses but only to avoid having courses listed in the calendar
    when resources do not exist to teach them. I. Whitaker responded
    that only 11 of 70 courses were in that category, and the time lag
    requirement necessitated early approval of courses to take advantage
    of possible visiting appointments. D. Janssen asked that for the
    guidance of students, riders be attached to all courses which are
    not confirmed for offering. It was acknowledged that the trimester
    system presents unique difficulties but that the course guide provides
    accurate information being distributed to students on courses offered
    each semester.
