A. Wotherspoon spoke against the motion, stating that a cost
effectiveness basis had been taken over the democratic process. He
mentioned a procedural matter in that there had been no student represen-
tation on SCAR when the material had been considered by that body.
Moved by A. Wotherspoon, seconded by L. Hale,
"That Paper S.82-65 be referred back to SCAR
for further consideration."
L.
Hale stated that although he supported the principle of the
presentation and congratulated the author in putting together a timely
document, he would prefer that voting not be restricted to students
taking courses on the Burnaby campus.
J.
Munro enquired if there were any elections in the immediate future
which could be affected by referral, and the Secretary replied that one of
the seats currently held could be contested and there were rumors of at
least two and possibly three impending vacancies.
A. Wotherspoon contended that the Student Society would have an
alternative proposal for consideration by SCAR at its next meeting.
N. Swartz offered a friendly amendment that the motion to refer include
• ?
a time frame, and A. Wotherspoon expressed willingnesstobring the matter
back to the next meeting of Senate.
Question was called on the motion to refer, and a vote taken.

by in-person secret ballot at the Office of the

leave, are on campus and the issues are quite different from those
pertaining to the election of students to Senate and to the Board of
Governors.
