Government Revision Plan

The text of the proposal
pears on page 13.

ap-

Five campus leaders have submitted a proposal to the interim
committee studying student
government organization.
The five include the present
president of Student Congress,
the cochairmen of the Student
Centennial Committee, and the
presidents of Panhellenic and the
Interfraternity Council.
The interim committee will
study the various proposals for reorganizing student government
through the summer and will present a plan to Student Congress
in the fall.
Assuming the plan gains approval, it will be presented to a
campus referendum.
The only other plan officially
before the committee is one that
came out of the second Conference on Organizations
and
was proposed by a subcommittee
of the Student Centennial Committee.
The plan was basically designed to coordinate the activities
of existing campus organizations.
The plan presented Wednesday was structured to "serve

student needs" as opposed to
coordinating existing activities.
The proposal states seven
"uniquely student needs" which
need student government attention:
1. Filtering student opinion of
various subjects to the Administration.
2. The evaluation of classes
and faculty.
3. Student committee to study
housing plans and present student views.
4. Committee to evaluate the
physical environment of the University.
5. A central committee to sustain the intellectual atmosphere
through the planning of lectures,
acting as a consultant to the Concert and Lecture series, and providing money for campus groups
who wish to bring in speakers.
6. Furnishing new ideas and
prorams.
7. The judication of student
misconduct.
The new proposal suggests
that a structure seeking only to
coordinate will have "come much
closer than the present arrangement" but still falls short.
The plan provides for an administrative body called the executive board to oversee the
government. This board would be
an appointive group.
The legislature would be a

housing units.
The present form of judicial
system would be retained.
The appointive administrative body would be the major
departure from former organizational plans.
The proposal points out, however, that is the normal way
most campus groups are presently organized.
This board would be composed of the elected president

spirit through special events and
acitivities.
Area one of the program is a
committee headed by Frank Bailey, the Student Subcommittee on
Evaluation of Teaching. The
committee's purpose, as Bailey
described it, is "to aid in bringing about better understanding of
what the faculty member' work
entails." Organized in a three-paprogram, the committee is
now trying to form an "instrument" to be used in the actual
evaluation. Once the "instrument" materializes, the next two
steps will be determining the
means by which it can be put
into action and the actual evaluation.

"The Centennial year was a

That is Sandy Brock's evaluation of the first Student Centennial Committee of which she
was cochairman. The committee,

alumni and faculty committees,

with the students whom he has
in his classes," Bailey explained.
Like many of the other committees, Bailey's will probably
last well beyond the official Centennial year. The Administration
may make whatever use of the
evaluations it chooses.
The second set of projects
which the committee organized
were aimed at increasing student participation in the Centennial year.
"I think we knew we could
not involve every student in every
activity, but we could hit every
activity so that each student
could have at least one thing
in which he was interested," Miss
Brock said.
This phase of the committee's
program has been divided among
four projects under the Forum on
Political and Current Affairs,
Freshman Colloquium, Student
Research and Creative Work, and
the High School Leadership Conference. However, there was an
