The senate first passed an amendment Introduced by Walter Militzer, professor of chemistry, which would have barred classrooms from being used "for the political ambi tions of any party or persons," and further barring the classroom from being used as a vehicle for personal attacks. Then by a vote of 74 to 61, the Senate rescinded the part of Militzer's amendment dealing with politics in the classroom. Desmond Wheeler, professor of chemistry, argued suc cessfully that the part of Militzer's amendment dealing with politics in the classroom (a provision appearing in the handbook of the College of Arts Authority Sandie Springer, chairman of a newly-formed tenant advisory board which will discuss prob lems with LHA, agreed with Malloy. "Married students are more respectable than other low-income families. They give the housing authority a better name with landlords," she said. Hamilton explained students and also elderly couples may seem to be favored, but this is due to the type of housing available to the authority. Of 1350 units available, 640 are either efficiency or one bedroom apartments, ac cording to Hamilton.

Members Of the Faculty Senate also disagreed on an amendment proposed by Frederick M. Link, professor of English, which read, "Each faculty member is expected to inform his students in writing of the standards, objectives, requirements, and evaluation procedures at the beginning of a course'.' Link argued that in the past some students not enrolled in a course on its first day of meeting have missed important instructions. He said a written statement on policy for each class would preclude later possible difficulties over grade changes. Although Link met little op position in discussion of his amendment, faculty members resoundingly defeated the pro posal in a voice vote. helpless have three or more bedrooms. "More units are available for small families," said Hamilton, "so low-income students and elderly families are more likely to find suitable housing." Hamilton noted that 77 per cent of LHA units are rented by these two groups. Meanwhile, Joan Wooten, who receives Aid for Dependent Children (ADC) welfare payments, said ADC mothers "automatically get a hard time" from LHA. She cited frequent inspections Turn to page 3 by Dean Robert Gibson ,rv -J - -- The result was that the faculty accepted the original statement prepared by the Committee on Academic Privilege and Tenure which said teachers must inform students of class policies, but they do not have to do it in writing. Further disagreement developed over Professor of English, Paul A. Olson's, question, "Does this statement apply to the administration and Board of Regents, as well as the faculty?" Assistant Professor of English James A. McShane moved to replace "faculty members" with "all members of the academic community." His amendment failed. The concensus was with Wallace M. Rudolph, professor of law, who said the statement on faculty responsibility should apply only to the faculty and not members of the Board of Regents, or graduate and undergraduate students. The final draft included statements that each faculty member is expected: "To treat all students with dignity and respect." ''To meet all regularly scheduled classes or provide a reasonable alternative related to the educational objectives of the course." "To maintain an at mosphere of free and open in quiry in the classroom." The Faculty Senate will resume Tuesday's meeting (which lasted the alloted one hour) on Thursday, November 12, 4 p.m. at Love Library. Included in the business for the resumed meeting will be the report to recommend changes in the structure and operation of the Senate. - -I I? ll- fi t. it I 5 V pi
