DAAND....RDLES 

The report of the Senate Committee on Alternative Academic 

Philosophies and Objectives for Simon Fraser University was received 

earlier and distributed with the Senate agenda for April 1975, with 

indication that the report would be placed on the agenda for discussion 

at the May 1975 and subsequent meetings. (The report on original 

distribution was identified as S.75-A, and now is S.75-73.) 

In view of the importance of the topics contained therein, 

it is envisaged that the report will appear on the agenda for more 

than one meeting. In addition, with the current changes in Senate 

membership, it is desirable that both present members of Senate and 

new members have opportunity to express views. To this end newly 

elected members of Senate have been invited to attend the May meeting 

as observers of the discussion with expectation that the item will be 

on the agenda for June or later meetings at which they would be full 

participants. 

The Senate Committee on Agenda and Rules proposes that at 

the May meeting (i) this item be dealt with through "informal consideration 

of the question," (ii) that in particular retiring members of Senate have 

opportunity to express views, (iii) that the period for informal 

consideration be one half hour which, by majority vote, may be extended 

for a further period of up to one-half hour, (iv) that following the 

informal consideration further discussion on the report be postponed 

until the June meeting of Senate.
