Ed Polity, comoittee,
Explgined by Schimi,
This is the third article in a eerier explaining the constitution
and functions of the University Senate and the major Senate
committees.
The Senate Committee on Educational Policy is charged
by the Senate with making all recommendations concerning
broad, University-wide policy. The committee's duties cover
such areas as compulsory ROTC attendance and course
numbering, John J. Schanz, chairman, said yesterday._
Constitution-
.(continued from bane •one)
maned; Foisaini said.
"We must modify the constitu
tion -so it becomes logical," he
said.
Lattman said that members of
the committee agreed with the
feeling that the constitution• had
become cumbersome and was
worthy of reconsideration by the
students.
David McKinley. associate
dean of the College of Business
Administration, said lest night
that he feels the constitution
is too complex and reflects too
much influence of . pressure
groups. •
"There has been too much
emphasis on detail in the consti
tution, he said, "and now students
must get down to bedrock."
The main objective of students
at the Univesrity is scholarship
and all possible steps should be
taken to insure that SGA doesn't
become a place for "wrangling."
This is time consuming and ac
complishes nothing, McKinley
said.
"The committee made a strong
point of allowing the student
to consider their constitution.
If stuednis are not satisfied, it
is the moral obligation of the
committee to let them work
until they are satisfied." Latt.
man said:
Foianini said the officers of SGA
and certain faculty members who
have -shown interest in the pro
ject will rework the constitution,
"trying to eliminate the influence
of outside groups."
Foianini will work to determine
student opinion on the controver
sial topics and will use the stu
dent consensus as the basis for
his recommendations to the joint
committee.

of administrative opinion," Miss
Williams said.
"It is obvious that certain mem
bers of the committee had pre
conceived ideas that couldn't be
changed by any amount of ergu
ment," Dennis Eisman, Campus
party chairman and a member of
the Senate sub-committee on
organizational control, said. "The
students' views don't seem im
portant to them."
Er SARALEE ORTON
Currently, the committee has
been concerned with a statement
of policy concerning the defini- ;
tion, credit limits and adrnissionsj
standards_ of the associate degree'
programs. Schanz said. -
A year's
work on this is now' completed
and the committee - will present',
its policy for approval at the Sen
ate's Nov. 7. meeting.
Schanz 'said that the corn
mittee's future plans include
work on the Senate Regula
tion F.-3.. which stales that a
student must earn at bast ITO
of the last 75 credits at the Usti
versity Park campus in order
to receive? his degree. Schein
said that this rule is being in
, vositgated because of its effect
on Commonwealth Campus stu
dents and those attending medi
cal school.
It is possible that the committee
will also become involved in an
levaluation
_of the four-term sys
tem, since this is the 'first year
it has been in effect; he said. A
need may arise to change certain
aspects to smooth out its opera
tion, he said.
A special sub-committee of the
educational policy committee is
also working on a new statement
of the purposes, and objectives of
the University, Schanz said. This ,
is being done in preparation for'
a visit by the Middle States As-,
sedation accrediting team in . l9frb.
The committee consists of one
member from each of the col
loge:. and the Graduate School,
with Howard A. Cutler, assistant
to the persident for academic
affairs, acting as an ex-officio
member.
The faculty members are Rob
ert K. Murray, head of the De
partment of History; Franklin H.
Cook, professor of business law;
Merrell R. Fenske, director of the
petroleum refining laboratory;
Winona Morgan, head of the
Department of Child Development
and Family Relations.
Howard B. Sprague, head of the
Department of Agronomy; Glenn
N. Thiel, professor of physical
education; Abram W. Vander
meer, associate dean of education;
Merritt A. Williamson, dean of the
College of Engineering and Archi
tecture; and -Harry D. Zook, pro
