Strong

University Faculty Senators took the first
steps toward strengthening their role in
University decision-making at their meeting
Nov. 12. •
The Senate's Committee on Committees
and Rules presented a package of proposals
for reorganizing the Senate to give it a
stronger voice and a closer working
relationship with the administration,
especially with University President John W.
Oswald.
One proposal would set up a faculty ad
visory committee to represent the Senate
and the faculty at-large. Tile committee
ould advise
_Oswald on University-wide
issues ikvolving the faculty.
Another proposal calls for the Senate
chairman to be relieved of teaching 'and
research duties during his term of, office.
The proposals will take the form of changes
in the Senate's constitution, rules and by
laws. As such, no action can be taken on them
until the meeting following their introduction
to the full Senate. That will be done at the
next Senate meeting on Tuesday.
The proposed changes had their beginnings
in the report of the Joint . Senate Ad
ministrative Select Committee on Faculty
Participation in University Governance.
That report contained 35 recommendations

made at Penn State. It was accepted by the
Senate at its May meeting.
Several of the recommendations made by
the Select Committee require action by
Oswald, and he gave the senators a report on
what progress he has made in putting them
into effect.
Oswald told the senators the recom
mendations under his control fall into three
categories those already in effect, those in
draft form and almost ready for presentation
to the Seante, and those on which no ction
has yet been taken.
He said recommendations calling for
Senate leaders to sit in on meetings of the
Board of Trustees were taken care of by the
Board's opening its meetings to the public.
Also in effect are the recommendations for
an annual meeting between himself and the
faculty and for better communication be
tween the faculty and administration ; ie said.
The recommendations being prepared for
presentation to, the Senate include policy
statements on faculty participation in all
decision-making , bodies in each academic
unit and throughout the university, as wellas
participation in the selection of department
heads and other academic administrators.
Oswald said he is considering but has not
acted on recommendations for changing the
University Coun6.il, which requires action by
the Board of Trustees, or for faculty review
of academic administrators.

Pioneer 11 headed for Saturn
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.
( UPI) Space agency scien
tists decided yesterday to
angle the Pioneer 11
spacecraft inside the in
nermost ring of Saturn, less
than 6,000 miles from the 1
mysterious planet's surface.
Saturn's unique three rings,
which are 81,000 miles wide,
are only one mile thick but
they may be composed of
flying rocks the size of the
Empire State Building.
John H. Wolfe, chief project
scientist, said the entire
region around Saturn may
contain flying rocks. At its
high speed, Pioneer could be,
,destroyed by a collision with a
fleck of.dust.
Pioneer would flash through ,
the plane of the rings in a frac-'
tion of a second. too fast at'
that point to take pictures. The
distance from the planet to the
idnermost ring is 15,500 miles.

Vet's benefits to join welfare?
WASHINGTON (UPI) A privately financed
study of the nation's veterans programs
recommended Tuesday that many of the $l5
billion in benefits be integrated into the general
social welfare
,system of the United States.
But the study, prepared by the 20th Century
Fund Task Force on Policies Toward Veterans,
drew back from recommending immediate
dismantling of the Veterans Administration,
although one task force member recommended
such a course and another indicated that could
be the result of the group's recommendations.
The panel did not estimate the cost of its
proposals nor did it make any comparison with
costs of present programs.
In one of its key recommendations, the task
force said it believes "as a general principle,
society should rely on benefits 'from,general
social welfare programs to meet the non-service
connected needs of veterans."
Jupiter. computers have been
recalculating the spacecraft's
position. Project manager
Charles Hall said, "Right now,
I don't know where we are,
precisely."
The Saturn course decision,
subject to change, was
reached at a meeting of scien
tists who considered several
options.
The closest approach was
considered the safest.
The earth, the sun and
Saturn will be nearly in a
straight line in September,
1979,: when Pioneer makes the
first visit to Saturn.

It said the ,two most important non-service
connected benefits ,were pensions for wartime
veterans and their survivors and medical care
for non-service connected health problems.
On pensions, which involve some one million
veterans and two million widows and surviving
children, the task force said it believed "non
service pensions should be paid only to wartime
veterans and their survivors with incomes below
the poverty level not as a supplement to
adequate Social Security benefits or other
government retirement system benefits."
It said it believed it was necessary to maintain
an "income test for pensions" and that if this
was done the pension program will, in the future
"pay benefits to only a very small number of
needy veterans and survivor beneficiaries."

that it be used "in every reasonable way possible
to support, augment and improve the general
health care system of the nation."
Other recommendations included:
Creation of a Veterans Educational and
Training Fund within the present GI Bill which
would give the veteran greater flexibility in the
use of his benefits.
The government act "as an employer of last
resort atileast for all Vietnam r era veterans for a
limited i)eriod after discharge."
In 'the future, "eligibility for veterans'
benefits should bear norelationship to the nature
of the military discharge." It noted that some
200,000 Vietnam-era veterans have had
discharges which inhibit both employment and
access to veterans' benefits.
