Student Representation upon

November 25th 1968.

Senate

.

14733--PC -

The above coimnittee held what may best he described as an

interim final meeting on 16th November, and decided to make no

recommendations in respect of expanded student representation upon

Senate at this time. This decision was reached for the following

reasons;

a)

The Committee received no response whatever from any

individual or group within the. University to its request-

for info-rmation and suggestions on this question. Two

advertisements were run in The Peak

(2

and 16 Octobor)

the President of the Student Society was informed by letter

of our wish to solicit as

wide a range of views as possible.

b)

There is no direct or specific request for expanded student

representation upon Sonata in any of the documents finally

to emerge from the variety

,

of bodies constituted dui-incj

.

the

summer, viz, Interim Council, Student Implementation

Committee.

C)

The Committee felt that some might construe it as the

most offensive kind, of patronage were it to decide more

or. less arbitrarily upon increased representation. This

possibility the Committee wished to avoid.

:

Although th may go beyond its precise term of reference, the

Committee wishe

,

/to make the following recommenciat on as a procedure

Senate should

students who are not Se:oators

should be permitted to serve upon Senate Committees where Senate call

for, student representation. * . This should not violate Senate rules

of procedure.; the precedent in case of faculty representation is

already there, and the Committee felt this ought logically to he

extended to students. This would serve to relieve the three student

senators from what would become unduly time consuming obligations;

it would further serve to provide a broader sampling of student

opinion in areas where it may he valuable until such time as the

larger question of composition of Senate is agreed upon.

Finally, the Committee

would recommend that

rather than

disband, it lapse into a condition of limbo in order to be

ready to confront: the question again when it

next comes up.
