Request Up
For Hearing
' The Faculty Senate Committee
-on Committees will discuss a Stu
dent Council resolution asking that
the Faculty Senate restore voting
privileges to student representa
tives on faculty committees at
their meeting next . Monday, ac
cording to Donald Dysinger, chair
man. Dean of Student Affairs, J. P.
Colbert in a formal letter to fac
ulty committees with student rep
resentation dated Jan. 17 pointed
out that a Senate resolution of
Dec. 13, 1955, removed the right
for students to vote on faculty
committees.
Colbert said in an interview
last January that he thought sup
port could be found on the Faculty
Senate to return voting privileges
to student representatives.
"The action taken was no re
flection on the help given by the
student representatives. We have
welcomed their opinions and sug
gestions and hope they keep giving
them," Colbert said.
Marvin Breslow, member of the
Publications Board, one of the
committees affected by the Senate
directive, and Vice President of
the Student Council, said, "I hope
the vote is restored especially on
the Publications Board which con
trols student publications that are
supported by student sales and
student fees."
Student YM
Plans 'Chats'
With Nil Profs
The student YMCA is planning
a series of "fireside chats" with
University professors, according
to Bob Martel, cabinet member.
The "chats would probably en
tail students visiting professors
at their homes for an evening and
discussing not only school sub
jects, but any topics of general
interest," Martel said.
"The purpose of the sessions
would be to bring the students
cloer to the faculty and let them
realize that professors are not
there just to give them down
slips but are actually interested
in them and their problems," Mar
tel explained.
He went on to say that such
"chats" had proven successful on
other campuses and the YMCA
was interested in trying them out
at the University.
Anyone interested may attend
the YMCA meeting Wednesday at
4:30 p.m. in the Union, he said.
