The Chairman reported that within the past week the secretary in the office
of the Senate Council had been verbally attacked for Council business, that
neither he nor the Senate Council appreciated such tactics and that in the future
the faculty should restrain themselves and if they disagreed in any way with
Senate Council actions they were to vent their disagreements with him, as
Chairman, not the office secretary.

The Chairman stated that the primary item of business would be the degree
proposals from the College of Arts and Sciences; that it had been determined
as a matter of courtesy to forward any action on the College's proposals, if
amended by the Senate, back to the College for its concurrence. He stated
further that the College had requested that the two proposals — the proposal
creating a new degree which involves a recommendation on the part of the
Senate to the Board of Trustees — and the changes for the Bachelor of Arts and
Bachelor of Science degrees on which final action is taken by the Senate —
be lumped together in one total package for voting purposes. He reported that
this would need a waiver of the Rules, concurred in by the Parliamentarian.

By the required two—thirds vote the Senate voted to approve a waiver of the
Rules in order to consider the Bachelor of General Studies and the Bachelor
of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in one package. The vote was 81 to 17.

The official position of the Senate Council on the proposal from the College
of Arts and Sciences to establish the new degree and to change the existing
degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science was handed to the Senators
as they entered the meeting. This document is dated April 7, 1972.
