    REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
    1. Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies
    Paper S.71-122 - Curriculum Changes: New Undergraduate Course,
    Kinesiology 344-3
    Moved by S. Aronoff, seconded by R. Carlson,
    "That Senate approve the new course proposal
    from the Senate Interdisciplinary Committee
    on Kinesiology'- Kinesiology 344-3 - Theory
    of Creative Movement - as set forth in Paper
    S.71-122."
    Several Senators questioned the rationale for the numbering of
    the course, and R. Brown advised that all undergraduate offerings in
    Kinesiology were undergoing review and the lower level numbers were
    being revised. D. Sullivan was of the opinion that care should be
    taken in the numerical designations and that there appeared to be no
    reason for the course signifying the upper division. S. Aronoff
    stated that the course number indicated there was sophistication of
    upper division scholastic knowledge and that there was also conven-
    ience of scheduling involved.
    Amendment was moved by D. Sullivan, seconded by K. Rieckhoff,
    "That Senate approve the course as stated,
    but not approve the numerical designation,
    with a number at the 100 or 200 level to
    be worked out with the Registrar."

    Program in Kinesiology for more informa-
    tion."
    Question was called on the motion to refer, and a vote taken.

    MAIN MOTION CARRIED
    2. Senate Committee on Rules and Procedures Pertaining to Professional
    Conduct
    •
    Paper S.71-123 - A Report of the Senate Committee on Rules and
    Procedures Pertaining to Professional Conduct
    The Chairman noted that this paper was before Senate for informal
    discussion only, and he introduced the Chairman of the Committee, C. R.
    Day, who in turn introduced the members of the Committee, J. S. Barlow,
    R.J.C. Harper, L. M. Prock, M. S. O'Connell and P. L. Wagner.
    R. Day outlined the historyof the organization of the Committee
    and the motion approved by Senate at its meeting of September 23, 1968,
    which was "That Senate appoint an ad hoc Committee consisting of
    six
    members and charge it with bringing before Senate recommendations with
    regard to rules and procedures for considering allegations of non-
    professional conduct of faculty members." He stated that the purpose
    of the report was to provide a means by which faculty can deal with
    complaints of faculty and students and in so doing to police itself
    and to regulate its own affairs in a fair and democratic spirit.
    A number of clerical errors in the document were pointed out by
    the Committee Chairman, and it was made clear that a further draft
    would be prepared, taking into consideration the comments and criti-
    cisms of Senate and the legal opinion of the University counsel.
    The paper was discussed point by point, with numerous questions
    being satisfactorily answered by the Committee Chairman. In general
    the report of the Committee was favorably received, but many issues
    were noted for further consideration.
