Opposition to Proposals

Mr. Flaherty also asserted that there seemed
to be considerable opposition to the proposals
among several faculty members. Some members
proposed that students be allowed in the Senate
without a vote while others completely
excluded students from representation.
Percentage representation and the overall
purpose of such a senate were also questioned
by various faculty members.

The general faculty has yet to vote as a
group on the proposals for the new Senate but
already sentiments run high on both sides.

"We'll take it to the faculty at the next
meeting in October," said Mr. Flaherty, "when
we'll find out exactly what everybody thinks."
