is
P. Brantinghatn was in attendance and was invited to join the
assembly to contribute to the discussion of the Report of the Senate
Committee to Consider Student Academic Discipline and Conduct.

with in the following manner:
SADC 85 - to be considered in total
SADC 87 - to be considered seriatim

"That S.81-34B be referred back to the Committee,

L. Hale suggested that it would be more expedient than engaging in
lengthy debate to refer the matter back to the Committee for its recon-
sideration in the light of the proposals for amendment prepared by the
student caucus. W. Litwin felt that recent revisions to the proposal,
following the January open forum, had not been circulated in sufficient
time for members to be prepared to consider the report formally. K.
Rieckhoff and J. Munro urged that the matter be dealt with at the current
meeting, as the essential thread of most of the caucus amendments had
been considered previously at great length, with legal advice, by the
Committee in the course of its deliberations. There is need to obtain
some sense of feel of what Senate desires. J. Crawley felt referral
would satisfy most of the questions students are concerned about.
Question was called on the motion to refer, and a vote taken.
