The Minutes of the Open Session of October 4, 1982 were amended and

Item #4(a), last line of the quoted 

motion, the word 'solely' amended to 

sorely' 

3. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES 

There was no business arising from the Minutes. 

4. REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN 

a) Senate was informed that although the amount of financial aid 

per individual had remained the same as last year, the overall 

amount of financial aid available to students in general had 

increased substantially this year. 

b)

The Chairman expressed the concerns the University had at the 

present time about the budget situation and the difficulty of cutting 

back 

2.7

million dollars in the middle of a fiscal year but indicated 

that the University would be doing well if able to retain its 1982-83 

budget in 1983-84. 

c)

Thanks and appreciation were expressed by the Chairman to L. Hale 

for his comments and contributions to the memorial service for 

S. Hinchcliffe who was a student at Simon Fraser University and a 

former member of Senate. 

d) Reporting briefly on his recent visit to Japan, the Chairman 

informed Senate that the purpose of the trip had been two-fold. 

Firstly, to explore the possibility of developing a faculty and 

student exchange program and, secondly, to gain a better under- 

standing of the role played by universities in the area of high 

technological developments, particularly with regard to Engineering 

and Applied Sciences. The visit had proved to be very successful 

and the matter of an exchange program would be given consideration 

in the forthcoming months.
