Some of these records were typed on what seems to have been an old, badly adjusted, manual typewriter with a defective ribbon. These pages did not scan well and are therefore garbled. This is deeply regretted and these will have to be typed manually probably. E. K.
REGVLAR MEETING OF THE PACULTY October 6, 1965
The meeting was called to order by President Flemming.
NORMAN OSWALD MEMORIAL. Mr. Kester Svendsen presented the following memorial:
'`Norman Hubert Oswald was a member of the Department of English for twenty years. A native Oregonian, he received his baccalaureate degree from Reed and his advanced degrees from the University of California at Berkeley. His special interest in recent years was English and American satire; and the increased enrollment in those courses since 1960 confirmed the success he already enjoyed as a teacher of the undergraduate Shakespeare sequence. Earlier Norman Oswald represented the department and the University in liaison with high-school English teachers; and until his death he was departmental adviser to master's candidates in interdisciplinary studies. Ris whole heart was in teaching and teacher training; no man served the department more faithfully and, in the months of declining health, more courageously. It is a tribute to this gentle and good man that he compensated most ingeniously and effectively for his failing eyesight by the use of readers and tape recorders, stubbornly determined to teach as long as he could give something to his students, which is to say, teach until he dropped. Such men as Norman Oswald, quietly carrying out their duties, are the backbone of a faculty. The true measure of their contribution is obscured from notice by the large affairs of a growing University; but their colleagues know it early and they respect the devotion to duty of one who asks, and often receives, little in the way of reward and general recognition. So it was with Norman Oswald; and at his death September 1, 1965, the Department of English and the University of Oregon lost a good man."
At Mr. Svendsen's request, President Flemming instructed the Secretary to inclu4e the memorial in the minutes of this meeting of the faculty and to send a copy to Mr. Oswald's family.
INTRODUCTIONS. One hundred and seven new faculty members and thirty-one members returning from leaves were introduced by deans and division heads. Dean Jones, who took the chair during the introductions when President Flemming was called from the room. welcomed the new and returning faculty members.
MINUTES OF JUNE MEETING. The minutes of the June 2, 1965 meeting of the faculty were read and approved. President Flemming returned to the rostrum.
ACADEMIC FREEDOM IN COMMUNITY COLLEGES. The secretary read letters of July 8, 1965 from Chancellor Lieuallen to President Flemming and to Mr. M. C. Romney, ViceChancellor for Academic Affairs, related to the resolution adopted at the June 1965 faculty meeting concerning academic freedom and tenure in Oregon community colleges. The Cha~cellor stated, in part, that he shares "the conviction of the faculty of the University of Oregon that conditions of academic freedom and tenure existing at a college or university affect the quality of faculty which an institution is able to acquire and retain; and that these conditions, if negative, may even hamper an otherwise competent teacher in discharging his teaching responsibilities." The President reported that he had also received a copy of a September 20, 1965 memorandum from Vice-Chancellor Romney to the presidents of Oregon community colleges on "Conditions of Oevelopment of Policies Governing Academic Freedom and Tenure," with which the Vice-Chancellor had enclosed a copy of the 1940 Statement of Principles adopted by the American Association of University Professors and the Aseciation of American Colleges. The three documents are filed in the office of the secretary of the faculty as a part of these minutes.
-
STATE OF TRE UNIVERSITY. Tbe President stated that, at his request, the Advisory Council has undertaken to formulate criteria for the s~ection of University recipients of awards for superior undergraduate teaching, established by act of the 1965 Oregon Legislature, and that the Council has appointed and ad hoc committee to assist it. The members of the committee are: Bernd Crasaman, chairman; Roland Bartel, D. R. Truax. The Council will present a draft of recommended criteria to the Facul£y Senate for consideration at its October meeting and to the University faculty at its November meeting.
Speaking in particular to new faculty members, the President pointed out that at the University of Oregon the organized faculty plays a major role in the government of the institution, and constitutes one of the University's most important sources of stength. He urged that new members become active participants in faculty business.
In conclusion, the President stated that, in accordance with past custom, t
he plans this year to call several informal meetings of the faculty for the
discussion of University affairs and problems under less time pressure than
is possible at formal faculty meetings. He indicated that he would call the
first of these meetings late in October or early in November,
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

REGULAR MEETING OP TRE FACULTY
November 3, 1965
The meeting was called to order by President Flemming. The minutes of the
meeting of October 6, 1965 were read and approved.
MERIT AWARD FOR UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING. Mr. Keith Goldhammer, secretary

posed plan for the distribution of merit awards for undergraduate teaching:
(1) (a) An Eligibility Committee will compile the list of persons who are jr=`
eligible for merit awards.
(b) The Eligibility Committee will consist of a representative from the

the University of Oregon (ASUO) and two faculty members.
(c) Faculty members of the Eligibility Committee will be appointed by the
University Committee on Committees.
(d) In addition to determining the eligibility of faculty members, the
Eligibility Committee shall give consideration to the eligibility of graduate
assistants (teaching assistants).
(e) The principles of eligibility proposed by the Eligibility Committee
will be submitted to the Faculty Senate for approval.
(2) (a3 A Merit Awards Committee will be established.
(b) The Awards Committee will consist of five faculty members and five

(c) Faculty members will be appointed to the Awards Committee by the Univer-
sity Committee on Committees. Student members of the Award Committee will be
appointed by the president of the ASUO. '~
(d) Only persons who are ineligible for the merit awards can be memtbers of the Awards Committee. No member of the University administration can be a member of the Awards Committee.
(3) (a) The Awards Committee in consultation with experts on student attitude and opinion surveys and on teacher ratings will design, distribute, collect, and evaluate rating forms, on which all students may rate eligible faculty members .
(4) (a) The Awards Committee will select persons from the list of eligible faculty mem~ers for $1,000 merit awards for teaching excellence in undergraduate courses.
(b) In making the selection, the Award~ Committee will be guided by the evaluations forms returned by students and may consider any other information if this appears desirable.
(c) The Awards Committee's records and transactions will be kept confidential, and rating forms will be destroyed immediately after the selection process has been completed.
Mr. O. J. Hollis, chairman of the Faculty Senate, moved on behalf of the Senate the adoption of the plan proposed by the Advisory Council. He then informed the faculty that, at the proper time, he would move certain amendments on behalf of the Senate. Mr. Hollis' motion was seconded.
Mr. Goldhammer stated that at the proper time he would move, on behalf of the Advisory Council, the adoption of a resolution expressing the concern of the University of Oregon faculty over certain implications of the establishment of the teaching award program through the budget report of a subcommittee of the Ways and Means Committee of the 1965 Oregon Legislature.
Mr. G. W. Struble rose to a point of order, questioning whether Mr. Hollis' motion required notice. President Plemming reminded the faculty that, under its rules, any motion involving a change in policy requires notice either at a meeting of the faculty preceding the meeting at which it is presented for consideration and action or through the campus mail at least three weeks before it Ls presented, and stated that he was inclined to rule that Mr. Hollis' motion required notice.
Mr. Goldhammer expressed the view that faculty action on the proposed plan would be only advisory to the President and that a change in policy was therefore not involved. The President called attention to the following sentence in the report of the legislative subcommittee: "The subcommittee anticipates that faculty members will be asked to propose plans for selecting grant winners, the plans to be approved by the Board of Higher Education . . ."; and to the following sentence in the guidelines approved by the Board of Higher Education: "Faculty acceptance of the plan is dependent in large measure upon the extent to which the faculty has participated in the development of the plan and the extent to which the final plan adopted by the institution is seen by the faculty to reflect the vie~sof the faculty."
After further discussion the President ruled that Mr. Hollis' motion required notice. Mr. Goldhammer appealed from the ruling of the chair. The appeal was put to a vote and the chair sustained.
Mr. C. P. Schleicher inquired whether a motion to suspend the rules would be in order. The President stated that, under Robert's Rules of Order, which govern faculty business, a rule requiring notice of motion cannot be suspended.
Mr. Schleicher then moved that the faculty resolve itself into a committee of the whole. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried,
While the faculty sat as a committee of the whole, the President remained in the chair and Mr. Belknap served as secretary. Discussion of the motion for a plan fot the distribution of merit awards for undergraduate teaching continued, together with discussion of a substitute motion proposed in the committee of the whole. When the committee of the whole rose and the faculty resumed its meeting, there was no report from the committee.
Mr. D. W. Swinehart moved that the meeting be adjourned. The motion W25 seconded, put to a vote, and defeated.
Mr. Goldhammer moved to suspend the rules and oontinue the consideration of the business before the faculty. The President ruled that the motion was out of order.
Mr, Goldhammer then gave notice that at the December 1965 meeting of the faculty he would move, on behalf of the Advisory Council, the adoption of the following resolution:
The faculty of the University of Oregon views with considerable concern the establishment of the so-called "Merit Award Program for Teaching Excellence" specified in the Budget Beport of Subcommittee No. 4 of the Ways and Means Subcommittee to the 53rd Legislative Assembly. The concern of the faculty is based upon the belief that, (1) the program arises out of several misleading or false assumptions, (2) the program constitutes a legislative interference with the academic decision-making of the State System of HLgher Education, and (3) the program gives false assurance of solving a continuous and ever-pressing problem of higher education.
(1) The assumptions upon which the program is based include the following:
(a) That the State System of Higher Education has made no provision for rewardLng meritorious teaching. The quality of teaching has long been one of the basic criteria for the promotion of faculty members. Merit salary increases have been the rule rather than the exception, and the quality of teaching has been one of the primary considerations in the granting of s~ary increases.
(b) That there is a distinction between scholarship (the search for knowledge) and teaching (the imparting of knowledge). There is considerable evidence to suggest that the most able teacher is also a life-long scholar who is constantly involved in the search for new knowledge, the organization and synthesis of existing knowledge, and the refinement of theory which points toward the identification of gaps in the existing state of knowledge. The outstanding teacher helps to inspire his students through the example he sets as an active participant in that search for knowledge.
(c) That the most able teachers are spending a larger share of their time
in graduate teaching and research to the detriment of undergraduate teaching. -,
Many nationally known researchers spend a significant part of their time in classroom teaching, and several departments make a conscious effort to have their most distinguished scholars engaged in the teaching of undergraduate courses. Research programs have brought many outstanding scholars to the campus as both teachers and researchers who might otherwise have remained in private research agencies. The administration of the University of Oregon has long held that all persons engaged in research at the University of Oregon shall also undertake substantive instructional responsibilities in their respective departments. It is one of the most serious deficiencies of the proposed program that it suggests that special rewards need to be given to stimulate the improvement of teaching on the undergraduate level but fails to consider the equally important need in our society for the constant up-grading of graduate programs of instruction.
(2) The proposed program constitutes a legislative interferenee with the operation of the State System of Higher Education in that it establishes a lineitem in the budget and dictates to the State Board of Higher Education how this program shall be established. This practLce can lead only to the reduction of the effecetveness of the State Board of Higher Education and may lead to a subordination of educational to political purposes.
(3) There is no evidence that special rewards or "bonuses" have any significant or direct effect upon the improvement of instruction. The experience of the academic community suggests that there are other factors which are far more important as stimulants to good teaching. These include the maintenance of an
environment of academic freedom and acceptance, the provision of adequate ~'
resources for the operation of the University or college, the employment of sufficient personnel to relieve faculey of excessive loads and to permit effective leave programs, the provision of adequate instructional and research space, the development of competitive salary schedules, and the participation of the total academic community in all phases of policy determination which affeet the instructional programs and personnel policies. The improvement of instruction can be accomplished only through continuing research into the proble~s of college teaching and the provisions of programs to assist faculty to improve their professional competencies.
The faculty of the University of Oregon recognizes that, although much has been done, not enough has been accomplished and insufficient allocations df resources and time have been devoted to the improvement of teaching. It, therefore, calls upon the administration of the State System of Higher Education, with assistance of the faculties of all the institutions of the State System, to develop positive, professional programs for instructional improvement,
Mr. Hollis then gave notice that at the December 1965 meeting of the faculty he would move, on behalf of the Faculty Senate, the adoption of the Advisory Council's plan for the distribution of merit awards for undergraduate teaching.
Mr. George Streisinger inquired whether notice was required for a substitute motion. The President stated that notice was not required for such a motion.
It was moved by a member of the faculty that the meeting be adjourned. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried.
George N. Belknap Secretary of the Faculty REGULAR MEETING OF TRE FACULTY December 1, 1965
rhe meeting was called to order by President Flemming. The minutes of the meeting of November 3, 1965 were read and approved.
MAIIDE I. KERNS MEMORIAL. The following memorial was presented by Mr. T. O. Ballinger:
"A grand lady, to whom both our University and our community shall forever be indebted, passed away on the l9th of October, 1965. Born of pioneer heritage in Portland, Oregon, Maude Irvine Kerns lived a long and productive life. After graduating from the University of Oregon, Class of 1899, Miss Xerns continued her education at the California School of Fine Arts and later at Columbia University, receiving a second degree and a Diploma of Fine Arts from the latter institution. Following travel and further study in Europe and Japan, Maude Kerns returned to teach, to paint, and to exhibit her work in some of the leading art museums in the United States. Seattle, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., the Guggenheim in New York are hut a few of the galleries that showed the colorful and vigourous paintings of this gifted woman from the Northwest. In 1921 Miss Kerns accepted the position as the first director of the art education program at the University of Oregon. She served for twenty-six years, retiring in 1947. As an associate professor emeritus, Miss Kerns continued her personal interest in students, in art, and in her community. In 1961 her imagination and generosity afforded the local art center financial assistance, which subsequently resulted in the center being renamed the Maude I. Kerns Art Center of Eugene. Professor Rerns' life as an artist, and as a teacher, was of the highest quality. Iler service to this University, the Museum of Art on this campus, the city of Eugene, and the many students whose lives have been touched by her scholarship and her goodness cannot be measured in the few days since her departure. Her warmth and her leadership will be missed."
At Mr. Ballinger's request, the President instructed the secretary to record the memorial as a part of the minutes of this meeting of the faculty and to send a copy to Miss Kerns' immediate family.
REPORT OF GOMMITTEE ON THE CURRICULUM. Mr. L.W. Staples, secretary of the Faculty Senate, moved the approval of the report of the Committee on~ the Curriculum dated November 24, 1965, arabic-numbered pages 1-11. A copy of the report is filed in the office of the secretary of the faculty as a part of these minutes. The motion having been seconded, Mr. Belknap, secretary of the faculty~ left the rostrum to assist the chairman of the Committee on the Curriculum in his role as secretary of the committee. Mr. C,L. Constance served as secretary of the faculty pro tem while the report was before the faculty. Miss Grace Graham, chairman of the committee, stated that the proposal on page 8 of the report for a new course, Mental Realth (BE 540), wa~ being withdrawn for the time being, and should not be considered as a part of the report before the faculty, Mr. Staples' motion was then put to a vote and carried.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CREDIT BY EXAMINATION. Mr. P.~. Runkel, -
chairman of an ad hoc Committee on Credit by Examination, stated that
this committee has completed its business and had drafted a report, which I
will be distributed to the faculty through the campus mail within the next few days, and gave notice that he would move at the January 1966 faculty meeting the approval of policies recommended in the report for the implementation of a program for the granting of University credit by examination.
PRESS ATTENDANCE. The secretary read letters from Mr. W.L. Wasmann, managing editor of the Eugene Register-Guard, and Mr. Bob Carl, managing editor of the Oregon Daily Emerald, requesting that the faculty permit reporters from these newspapers to attend this meeting during the consideration of the program for merit awards for undergraduate teaching. The secretary then read extracts from the minutes of the faculty concerning press coverage of faculty business. These documents are filed in the office of the secretary of the faculty as a part of these minutes.
Mr. J.L, Hulteng moved that the faculty extend a special invitation to representatives of the press to attend this meeting during the consideration of the awards program. The motion having been seconded, Mr. Staples reported that the Paculty Senate recommended that the policy of the faculty that its meetings are not open to the press be maintained, and that a special invitation to attend this meeting not be extended. After discussion, Mr. A.R. Kitzhaber moved the previous question. Mr. Kitzhaber's motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried.
By a standing vote, Mr. Hulteng's motion was defeated: yes, 112, no, 208.
For this vote and other divisions during the meeting, Mr. C.L. Constance, Mr. ~|
P.R. Washke, and Mr. Fred Mohr served as tellers.
AWARDS FOR UNDERGRADUATE TEACRING. Members of the faculty had in their hands an assembly of five documents related to the program for teaching awards including: (1) a proposed plan for the distribution of awards for undergraduate teaching, recommended by the Advisory Council; (2) a proposed substitute motion concerning the merid award program; (3) an amendment to the Advisory Council plan sponsored by the Faculty Senate; (4) amendments and recommendations related to the program from the Graduate Council; and (5) a resolution concerning the program sponsored by the Advisory Council.
Mr. Staples moved, on behalf of the Faculty Senate, the approval of the following plan for the distribution of awards for undergraduate teaching, recommended by the Advisory Council:
Proposed Plan for the Distribution of Awards for Undergraduate Teaching
1. (a) An Eligibility Committee will compile the list of persons who are eligible for awards. The Eligibility Committee will consider as eligible any faculty member whose maJor responsibility is teaching and whose undergraduate teaching constitutes at least half his teaching when measured by either the number of term hours of instrUction or the number of student hours of instruction.i
,
(b) The Eligibility Committee will consist of a representative from the Office of the Dean of Paculties, two faculty members, and two student members.
(c) Faculty members of the Eligibility Committee will be appointed by the University Committee on Committees. Student members will be appointed by the president of the Associated Students of the University of Oregon.
(d) In Addition to determining the eligibility of faculty members, the Eligibility Committee shall give consideration to the eligibility of graduate assistants (teaching assistants).
(e) The prlnciples of eligibility proposed by the Eligibility Committee will be submitted to the Faculty Senate for approval.

3. (a) The Awards Committee in consultation with experts on student opinion surveys and on teacher ratings will design, distribute, collect, and evaluate rating forms, on which all students may rate eligible faculty members.
4. (a) The Awards Committee will accept proposals from eligible faculty members. These proposals are to describe the intended use of funds for the purpose of improving the faculty member's undergraduate teaching, enriching his course offerings, or in some other manner enhancing undergraduate teaching.
(b) In making the selection of faculty members to whom awards will be made and in determining the sums to be granted, the Awards Committee will be guided by the potential effectiveness of the proposals, by the evaluation forms returned by students, and may consider any other information if this appears desirable.
(c) Eligible faculty members who wish to be apprised of the results of their evaluation by students will be supplied with a copy of this evaluation.
(d) The Awards Committee's records and transactions will be kept confidential, and rating forms will be destroyed immediately after the selection process has been completed.
Mr. Keith Goldhammer, secretary of the Advisory Council, and Mr. Bernd Crasemann, chairman of an ad hoc committee which assisted the Advisory Council in the dra£ting of the plan, made general comments on the plan, calling attention in particular to revisions since it was presented at the November 1965 faculty meeting.
President Flemming inquired whether the faculty wished to terminate this meeting at a stated time and to reconvene for an adjourned meeting at a later date. Mr. V.R. Lorwin moved that the meeting be terminated at 6:15 p.m. and reconvened at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 8, 1965. The motlon was seconded. Mr. A.F. Noursund moved to amend by changing the time to 5:45 p.m. Mr. Moursund's motion to amend was seconded, put to Q vote, and carried. Mr. Paul Civin moved to amend by changing the day for the adjourned meeting to Thursday, December 2, 1965. Mr. Civin's motion was seconded, put to a vote, and defeated. The principal motion as amended was then put to a vote and carried.
Mr. Keith Goldhammer moved that individual participation in the discussion be limited to three minutes. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and defeated.
The President stated that he would recognize Mr. George Stresinger for a substitute motion, but that, before consideration of the substitute, he would first present the principal motton section by section and entertain amendments to the proposed plan. Mr. Streisinger stated that he wished to yield to Mr. Robert Campbell for the presentation of a substitute motion of which he and Mr. Campbell were joint sponsors. Mr. CampbeI1 moved the adoption of the following substitute for the principal motion:
Be it resolved that the faculty of the UniversLty of Oregon declines to participate in the program of grants to teachers of undergraduate courses as it is now specified in the Budget Report of Subcommittee No. 4 of the Ways and Means Committee to the 53rd Legislative Assemblg and in the "Recommended Guidelines" of the State System. The decisLon of the faculty is based upon the belief that, (13 the program arises out of several misleading or false assumptions. (2) the program constitutes a legislative interference with the academic decision making of the State System of Righer Education, and (3) the program gives false assurance of solving a continuous and ever-pressing problem of higher education.
(1) The assumptions upon which the program is based include the following: ;
(a) That the State System of Higher Education has made no provision for rewarding meritorious teaching. The quality of teaching has long been one of the basic criteria for the promotion of faculty members. Merit salary increases have been the rule rather than the exeption, and the quality of teaching has been one of the primary considerations in the granting of salary increases.
(b) That there is a distinction between scholarship (the search for knowledge) and teaching (the imparting of knowledge). There is considerable evidence to suggest that the most able teacher is also a life-long scholar whg is constantly involved in the search for new knowledge, the organization and synthesis of existing knowledge, and the refinement of theory which points toward the identification of gaps in the existing state of knowledge. The outstanding teacher helps to inspire his students through the example he sets as an active participant in the search for knowledge.
(c) That the most able teachers are spending a larger share of their time in Rraduate teaching and research to the detriment of undergraduate teaching. Hany nationally known researchers spend a significant part of their time in classrooms teaching, and several departments make a conscious effort to have their most distinguished scholars engaged in the teaching of undergraduate courses. Research programs have brought many outstanding scholars to the campus both as teachers and researchers who might otherwise have remaine.d in private research agencies. `~-=` The Administration of the University of Oregon has long held that all persons engaged in research at the University of Ore~Dn shall also undertake substantive instructional responsibilities in their respective departments. It is one of the most serious deficiencies of the proposed programthat it suggests that special rewards need to be given to stimulate the improvement of teaching OD the undergraduate level but fails to consider the equally important need iP. our society for the constant upgrading of graduate programs of instruction.
(2) The proposed program constitute~s a legislative interference with the operatioo of the State System of Bigher Education in that it established a lineitem in the budget and dictates to the State Board of Righer Education how this program shall be established. This practice can lead only to the reduction of the effectiveness of the State Board of Higher Education and may lead to a subordination of educational to political purposes.
(3) There is little evidence that special rewards or "bonu~es have any significant or direct effect upon the improvement of instruction. The-experience
of the academic community suggests that there are other factors which are far |
more important as stimulan£s to good teaching. These include the maintenance of an environment of academic freedom and acceptance, the provision of adequate resources for the operation of the University or college, the employment of sufficient instructional personnel to relieve faeulty of excessive loads and to permit effective leave programs, the provision of adequate instructional and research space, the development of competitive salary schedules, and the participation of the total academic community in all phases of policy determination which - affect the instructional programs and personnel policies.
Given adequate support of the preceding policies, the further improvement of instruction can be accomplished only through continuing research into the problems of college teaching and the application of the results of such research Ln the classroom. If more is to be accomplished, more resources and time must be allocated to such programs. The faculty of the UnLversity of Oregon believes that it is the responsibility of the administration of the State System of Higher Education, with the assistance of the faculties of all the institutions of the State System, to develop and support positive, professional programs for instructional improvement.
The motion to substitute was seconded. Mr. Campbell explained that the text of his substitute motion, except for the first paragraph, was identical with the text of a proposed resolution drafted by the Advisory Council, copies of which were in the hands of the faculty.
Mr. Washke rose to a point of order, suggesting that the discussion must now be directed to the substitute motion. The President ruled that discussion and amendments directed to the principal motion had precedence under parliamentary rules, Mr. Goldhammer moved that the rules be suspended and that the faculty proceed with the consideration of the substitute motion. The motion was seconded and put to a standing vote. The tellers reported the following vote: yes, 162; no, 133. The President ruled that, since suspension of the rules requires a two-thirds majority, the motion was defeated.
The President then proceeded with the presentation of the Advisory Couneil plan.
Mr. Civin moved to amend by deleting the work "undergraduate" from the title of the proposed plan. The motion to amend having been seconded, Mr. Staples reported that the Faculty Senate recommended that it be disapproved.
Mr. J.C. Sherwood rose to -a point of order, questinning whether Nr. Civin's amendment was in order if it was in conflict with the guidelines prescribed by the legislative subcommittee and the Board of Higher Education. The President stated that the opening of the awards program to graduate as well as undergraduate teaching would be in conflict with the subcommittee guidelines, which the Board regards as binding, but that this would not prevent the faculty from taking whatever action it wished. He therefore ruled Mr. Civin's motion in order.
By a standing vote, Mr. Civinis motion to amend carried: yes, 159; no, 140. Mr. R.S. Dill rose to a point of information, whether the principal motion was in order, since it had been revised since notice of motion was given at the November 1065 faculty meeting. The President stated that, under faculty rules, Senate revisions of proposed motions do not require notice.
- Mr. N.D. Girardeau moved to amend the principal motion by deleting the second sentence of Sec. la. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and defeated.
Mr. R.A. Littman called attention to the fact that the time set for the termination of this meeting, 5:45 p.m., was approaching, and moved that the meeting be continued for an additional half hour. The motion was seconded. Mr. Sherwood rose to a point of order, calling attention to the fact that the time was now past 5:45 p.m. The President ruled that, since Mr. Littman had made his motion before 5:45, it was in order. The motion was then put to a vote and carried.
The President stated that he would like to consider' with the faculty, a problem which he, as President of the University, might face if the faculty should adopt a plan for merit teaching awards that conflicted with the provisions of the report of the legislative subcommittee, which the Board of Higher Education regards as binding. Re expressed the view that it would be quite proper to request the Board to modify its own guidelines, insofar as they go beyond the provisions of the subcommittee report, but that he wondered whether he should take to the Board a plan in conflict with the subcommittee report. He pointed out that, under the Administrative Code of the State System, he as President of the University has the power of veto over actions of the faculty, and stated that he would consider the possibility of such action if such conflict should develop.
Mr. C.P. Schleicher stated that, in his opinion, the action of the legislative subcommittee involved a clear invasion of executive powers and that it would be proper to take to the Board a plan that the faculty believed was sound, though it could be implemented only by the exercise of the Board's executive powers. Mr. Xeith Skelton expressed his agrement with Mr. Schleicher. Be also pointed out that the report of the subcommittee does not have the force of law, that the subcommittee ceased to exist on the adjournment of the Legislature, and that it seems probable that an attempt will be made by members of the Legislature to have the $500,000 earmarked for the teaching award program made available for partial relief of the State System's current budgetary crisis.
Mr. A.L. Ellingson inquired whether there had been any opportunity to call the subcommittee's attention to the implications and problems of the award program before it adopted the report. The President replied that it was his understanding that the report was adopted in executive session without hearings. Mr. Skelton indicated that this was correct.
The President stated that he found the discussion very helpful.
At 6:05 p.m. Mr. W.C. Jones moved that the meeting be adjourned until 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 8, 1965, The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried.
By unanimouS consent, the faculty remained in session for the purpose of conducting other pressing business.
SCHOOL OF COMM~NITY SERVICE AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS. Mr. C.T. Duncan gave notice, on behalf of the office of the Dean of Faculties, that he would move at the January 1966 faculty meeting that the faculty approve the establishment of a new profesional school to be known as the School of Community Service and Public Affairs.
SCHOOL OP LIBRARIANSHIP. Mr. Duncan gave notice, on behalf of the office of the Dean of Faculties, that he would move at the January 1966 faculty meeting that the faculty approve the establi~hment of a new professional school to be known as the Sehool of Librianship.
CODE OP STUDENT CONDUCT. Mr. W.M. Basye, Chairman o£ the Student Conduct Committee, gave notice, on behalf of his committee, that he would move at the January 1966 faculty meeting that Sec. I, D, 1 of the Code of Student Conduct be amended to read as folIows: Living organizations, societies, clubs and similar organized student groups are responsible for compliance with University regulations. Upon satisfactory proof that the group has encouraged or did not take reasonable steps, as a group, to prevent violations of University regulations, the group may be subjected to permanent or temporary suspension of charter, sociaI probation, denial of use of University facilities, or other like sanctions.
APPROVAL OF DEGREES. The secretary read the following communication from Mr. Constance, University Ragistrar, dated November 30, 1965: Will you please present to the faculty, at the Oecember meeting, my certification that the official degree list for the December 10, 1965 Graduation Convocation will include ail and only those de~gree candidates who completed their respective degree requirements at the end of the fall term?
Mr. Washke moved that the faculty of the University of Oregon recommend that the Oregon State Board of Righer Education confer upon the students whose names are included in the Official December 1965 degree list--as compiled by the University Regiserar--the degrees for which they have satisfied all requirements. The mOtiOn was seconded, put to a vote, and carried.

The meeting was called to order by President Flemming. The minutes of the regular meeting of December 1, 1965 were read and approved.
AWARDS FOR UNDERGRADUATE TEACHING. The President recogntzed Mr. C.P. Schleicher, who moved that further consideration of the Mosser Plan be postponed until the January 1966 meeting of ehe faculty. The-motLon was seconded.
Mr. Keith Skelton pointed out that, when the December 1 meeting was adjourned, a motion was before the faculty for the approval of the AdvLsory Council~s plan for implementing the undergraduate teaching awards program, ant thst a sectionby section presentation of this plan was under way, and suggested that the continuation of this presentation had first place in the order of business at this meeting. Tha President stated that Mr. Schleicher's motion W85 privileged under Robert's Rules of Order. Nr. Schleicher called the attention of the faculty to the fact thst the State Emergency Board will meet on Priday, December 10, and may divert all or part of the $500,000 earmarked for the teaching award program to partial financing of additional teaching staff--in which case faculty action on the program would be moot
Mr. R.W. Leeper inquired whether it would be in order to move that the faculty recommend that the funds in question be used for the employment of additional teaching staff. The President stated that such a proposal would appear to be a substitute for the pending substitute motion proposed by Mr. Robert Campbell and Mr. George Streisinger at the December 1 meeting, and would not be in order at this time. Miss Leona Tyler inquired whether, if Mr. Schleicher's motion carried, Mr. Leeper's suggested motion would then be in order. The President stated that a motion of this type would then be in order.
Mr. Kenneth Polk moved the previous question. Tbe motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried. Mr. Schleicher's motion was then put to a vote and defeated.
Mr. Reith Goldhammer moved for reconsideration of hi~ motion at the December 1 meeting that the rules be suspended and the faculty proceed with the consideration of the Campbell-Str¢isinger substitute motion to decline participation in the program of grants to teachers of undergraduate courses (Mr. Goldhammer's December 1 motion had failed through lack of a two-thirds =a30rity). The motion to reconsider was seconded, put to a vote, and carried. Tbe motion to suspend the rules was then put to a vote and carried.
Mr Leeper moved that the following resolutions be substituted for the Campbell-Streisinger motion:
Be it resolved: First, that the faculty of the University of Oregon express its concurrence with what it understands to be the fundamental concern of Representative Mosser and of the State Legislature--to wit, that major efforts should be made to strengthen the undergraduate teaching at the various institutions under the State Board of Righer Education;
Second, that the faculty also expresses its belief that, perhaps especially at the University of Oregon, a main factor that has hampered the work of undergraduate teaching has been the lack of sufficient staff. This lack of sufficient staff, the faculty notes, is a consequence both of increased enrollments and of the extra responsibilities which the faculty needs to bear if the University of oregon is to provide the state of Oregon and the nation with the serviees which such a university is charged with providing;
.
Thirt, that the faculty therefore expresses its conviction that the greatest contribution to undergraduate eeaching which could come at the University of Oregon from the portion of the Mosser funds that are assigned to it would co~e from the use of these funds for adtitional instructional staff.
Therefore, the faculty earnestly requests that, if such an assignment of these funts can be made, the funds assigned to the University of Oregon should be used for the significant expansion of the staff that these funds would make possible.
Tbe motion was seconded. The President stated that the faculty should ROW proceed to the discussion of the Leeper motion. It was suggested by a me~her of the faculty that Mr. Leeper might agree to put aside his motion temporarilg for the consideration of the Campbell-Streisinger motion. Mr. Leeper refused.
Mr. Skelton inquiret whether another amendment would be in ~der. The President asked that the motion be stated. Mr. Skelton then moved to strike all of the Campbell-Streisinger motion except the words "be it resolved" in the first line of the first paragraph and to add the following words: "That the faculty hereby delegates to the Dean of Faculties and the Advisory Council the duty and obligation of making a plan which would meet the standards of the Legislature and the sense of the faculty as expreased by the discussion of this questioQ.~' The President ruled that the proposal was not germane to the subject of the pending motion and was therefore out of order. Mr. Skelton appealed from the ruling of the chair; the chair was sustained.
Mr. L.W. Staples, secretary of the Faculty Senate, stated that, while the Senate had not had an opportunity to consider the Campbell-Streisiager motion, it had considered an earlier proposal by Mr. Strei~singer that the faculty decline to participate in the teaching awards program, which was distributed to the faculty before the December 1 meeting, and that he was prepared to report the recommendation of tbe Senate concerning this earlier proposal. Mr. I.M. Niven suggested that such a report was out of order, since this earlier proposal was not before the faculty. The President ruled that the report was in order. Mr. Staples then reported that the Senate had voted to recommend the disapproval of Mr. Streisinger's earlier proposal.
Mr. Herman Cohen asked for a report from the Senate on the Advisory Council's resolution conceraing the teaching awards program, all of which except the first paragraph W85 incorporated in the Campbell-Streisinger motion. Mr. Staples reported that the Senate had voted to recommend the approval of this resolution.
The Presitent reminded the faculty that the Leeper motion was not before the facultg for discussion. Mr. J.R. Shepherd stated that it was his belief that ehe faculty wished to proceed to the consideration of the Campbell-Streisinger motion. Mr. L.E. Ward asked if Mr. Leeper would withdraw his motion for the time being. Mr. Leeper declined.
Mr. William Parks moved the previous question ant stated tbat he iatended his motion to apply only to the proposal to substitute the Leeper motion for the Campbell-Streisinger motion. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried. Mr. Schleicher rose to a point of information: whether, if the faculty defeated the Le~per motion, there would be an opportunity to present furtber amendments of the Campbell-Streisinger motion. The Presitent replied that such amendments would be in order.
Mr. Streisinger rose to a point of order, questioning whether Mr. Leeper's ! motion was properly a substitute for the Campbell-StreisiaBer motion, since it did not deal wtth the question of acceptance or rejection of the teaching award program. The President ruled that the point of order was raised too late, and that the faculty must now vote on the Leeper motion.
Mr. Ward rose to a point of information: whether, if the Leeper motion carried, tbe text of the Campbell-Streisinger motion could then be added to it as an amendment. The President declined to rule on this hypothetical point. Mr. Leeper's motion was then put to a vote and defeated.
The President stated that the Campbell-Streisinger substitute motion was now before the faculty. Nr. Niven moved the previous question. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried. The President stated that the Ca~pbellStreisinger proposal was now before the faculty as the principal motion. Mr. O.J. uollis rose eO a point or order, that the motion to substitute bad not yet been put to a vote. The President stated that Hr. Hollis was corre¢t. The motion to substitute was then put to a vote and carried.
Mr. Paul Civin moved to amend by adding the following clause to the first paragraph of the Campbell-Streisinger motion: "(4) the greatest educational benefit available at this date from the funds appropriated by the Legislature for the improvement of undergraduate teaching would be the use of such fuads
for additions to the faculties of the schools in the State System of Higher ~
Education." The motion was seconded.
Mr. Schleicher inquired whether Mr. Civin would be willing to add to his amendment words calling attention to educational benefita from use-of a portion of the appropriated funds for salary increases. Mr. Civin indicated that he would aot be willing to make this change.
Mr. Leeper inquired whether Mr. Civin would be willing to modify his amendment to restrict to the University of Oregon onlY the assertLon of educational banefits from faculty additions. Mr. Civin Lndicated he would not be willing to make this change.
Mr. Parks moved the previous question. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried. Mr. Civin's motion to amend was then put to a vote and defeated.
Mr. Niven moved the previous question on the principal motion, now the Campbell-Streisinger resolution. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried.
By a standing vote, the principal motion carried: yes, 174; no, 80. Mr. Pred Mohr, Mr. P.R. WasEke, and Mr. R.L. Bowlin served as tellers. The text of the adopted motion is as follows:
Be it resolvet thst the faculty of the University of Oregon decline to participate in the program of grants to teachers of undergraduate courseS as it is now specified in the Budget Report of Subcommittee No. 4 of the Ways and Means Committee to the 53rd Legislative Assembly and in the "Recommended Quidelines" of the State System. The decision of the faculty is based upon the belief that, (1) the program arises out of several misleading or false assumptions, (2) the program constitutes a legislative interference with the academic tecision making of the State System of Higher Education, and (3) the program gives false assurance of solving a continuous and ever-pressing problem of higher education.
(l) Tbe assumptions upon which the program is based include the following: (a) That the State System of Higher Education has made no provision for rewarding meritorious teaching. The quality of teaching has long been one of the basic criteria for the promotion of faculty members. Merit salary increases hRve been the rule rather than the exception, and the quality of teaching has been one of the primary considerations in the granting of salary increases.
(b) Tbat there is a distinction between scholarshin (the search for knowledge) and teaching (the imparting of knowledge). There is considerable evidence to suggest that the most able teacher is also a life-long scholar who is constantly involved in the search for new knowledge, the organization and synthesis of existing knowledge, and the refinement of theory which points toward the identification of gaps in the existing state of knowledge. The outstanding teacher helps to tnspire his students through the example he sets as an active participant in the search for knowledge.
(c) That the most able teachers are spending a larger share of their time ia araduate teachina and research to the detriment of undergraduate teaching. ~any aationally known researchers spend a significant part of their time in classroom teaching, and several departments make a conscious effort to have their most distinguished scholars engaged in the teaching of undergraduate courses. Research programs have brought many outstanding scholars to the campus both as teachers and researchers who might otherwise have remained in private research agencies. The administration of the University of Oregon has long held that all persons engaged in research at the University of Oregon shall also undertake substantive instructional responsibilities in their respective departments. It is one of the most serious deficiencies of the proposed program that it suggests that special rewards need to be given to stimulate the improvement of teaching on the undergraduate level but fails to consider the equally important need in our society for the constant up-grading of graduate programs of instruction.
(2) The proposed program constitutes a legislative interference with the operation of the State System of Higher Education in that it establishes a lineitem in the budget and dictates to the State Board of Higher Education how this program shall be established. This practice can lead only to the reduction of the effectiveness of the State Board of Higher Education and may lead to a subordination of educational to political purposes.
(3) There is little evidence that special rewards or "bonuses" have any significant or direct effect upon the improvement of instruction. Tbe experience of the academic community suggests that there are other factors which are far more important as stimulants to good teaching. These include the
maintenance of an environment of academic freedom and acceptance, the pro- -
vision of adequate resources for the operation of the University or college, the enployment of sufficient instructional personnel to relieve faculty of excessive loads and to permit effective leave programs, the provision of adequate instructional and research space, the development of competitive salary schedules, and the participation of the total academic community in all phases of policy determination which affect the instructional programs
and personnel policies. -
Given adequate support of the preceding policies, the further improvement i of instruction can be accomplished only through continuing research into the problems of college teaching and the a W lication of the results of such research in the classroom. If more is to be accomplished, more resources and time must be allocated to such programs. The faculty of the University of Oregon believes that it is the responsibility of the administration of the State System of Higher EducatiQn, with the assistance of the faculties of all the institutions of the State System, to develop and support positive, professional programs for instructional improvement.
NOTICES OF MOTION. The President stated that he was informed that members of the faculty had intended to present notices of motion at this meeting, and suggested that these motions be handed to the secretary for notice through distribution in the campus mail.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

SCHOOL OF LIBRARIANSHIP. Mr. C.T. Duncan moved that the faculty endorse in principle the establishment at the University of Oregon of a Sch*ol of Librarianship, with the understanding that curricular and degree proposals of said school will be subject to approval by the faculty in accordance with existing legislation. The motion having been seconded, Mr. L.W. Staples, secretary of the Faculty Senate, reported that the Senate recommended its approval.
After discussion, Nr. William Parks moved the previous question. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried. By a standing vote the principal motion carried: Yes, 121, no, 21. Mr. Fred Nohr, Mr. C.L. Constance, and Mr. P.R. Washke served as tellers.
SCHOOL OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS. Mr. Duncan moved that the faculty endorse in principle the establishment at the University of Oregon of a School of Community Service and Public Affairs, with the understanding that curricular and degree proposals of said school will be subject to approval by the faculty in accordance with existing legislation. The motion having been seconded, Mr. Staples reported that the Faculty Senate recommended its approval.
After discussion, Mr. Parks moved the previous question. The motion was seconded, Mr. Val Lorwin rose to a point of order, whether the previous question could be moved after a speech in support of this action. The President ruled that the motion was in order. Mr. M.D. Ross inquired whether a motton to table Mr. Parks' motion would be in order. The Presi= dent ruled that such a motion would not be in order. Mr. Parks' motion wa0 then put to a vote and defeated.
Mr. Franklin Lowenthal moved that further consideration of the proposed School of Community Service and Public Affairs be postponed until the next meeting of the faculty. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried.
POSTPONEMENT OF CONSIDERATION OP OTHER MOTIONS. The President inquired whether, because of the lateness of the hour, the sponsors of ieveral other motions on the agenda would be willing to have consideration of thi~ business postponed until the February 1966 faculty meeting. With the approval of the sponsors indicated, consideratlon of the following motions was postponed:
Mr. P.J. Runkel--motion concerning credit by examination. Mr. W.M. 8asye--motion to amend the Student Conduct Code. Mr. Jack Wilkinson--motion to establish a Student-Ftculty Council
STATE OP THE UNIVERSITY. President Flemming noted that, in the discussion of the proposals for the establishment of two new schools at the University, a School of Librarianship and a School of Commwnity Service and Public Affairs, me~bers of the faculty had shown concern over the availability of funds for the support of these new sch~ols, without sacrifice of financial support for existing University programs. He pointed out that there are three major sources of support for University's programs, the State of Oregon, the Federal government, and private agencies, and that the relative importance of the two latter sources has grown rapidly in recent years. Characteristically, Federal and private funds are available, not for the overall support of the University but for specific programs and developments for which there is a demonstrated need in our society. The President stated that he is convinced that the two proposed schools satisfy such demonstrated needs, and can reasonably expect substantial support from Federal and private sources. He also stated that the need for such programs within the Oregon State System of Higher Education Ls recognized, and that he is convinced that they will be estahlished, either at the University of Oregon or at some other institution in the State System. He pointed out that the proposed schools clearly fall within the curricular allocation of the University.
The President reminded the faculty that, in the course of the discussion of the motions to endorse in principle the establishment of the two schools, he had indicated that the motion constituted only first steps toward the developmeat of the ptogram, that he would report to the faculty as the plans
"tured, and that at a later date courses, curricula, and degrees involved would be submitted to the faculty through regular channels for approval.
In conclusion, he stated that he would be glad to meet with the facultg informally before the regular P"bruary meeting to discuss budgetary and other administrative aspects of the proposals.
Tbere being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
George N. Belknap Secretary of the Faculty REGULAR MEETING OF THE FACULTY February 2, 1966
The Meeting was ealled to order by President Flemming. The,~minutes of the meeting of January 12, 1966 were read and ~pproved.
SCHOOL OF COMMWNITY SERVICE AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS. The faculty continued consideration of the following motion presented by Mr. C. T. Duncan at the January 1966 meeting: "That the faculty endorse in principle the establishment at the University of Oregon of a School of Co~mmunity Serviees and Publie affairs, with the understanding that curricular and degree proposals of said school shall be subject to approval by the faenlty in aecordance with existing legislation."
Mr. Duncan stated that he wished, with the consent of his second, Mr. Barry Alpart, to add to his motion the following language: "and with the further understanding that, eonsistent with the strong comm.itment to an interdi-sciplinary approach which is fundamental to the concept of the proposed school, the bulk of the school's intructional program, par£icularly in the foundations of the social and behavioral sciences, shall be selected from existing courses in the College of Liberal Arts and shall be developed in collaboration with appropriate department therein, and that appropriate plans for researob, policy studies, and graduate instruction shall be developed as an integral aspect of the school's program," Bs' general consent, this language was added as an integral part of Yr. Duncan's motion.
Mr, Alpert resd a report summarizing discussion of the proposed s~hool at ~r informsl meeting of faculty members with President Ple~ming on January 27. A £0py of the report is filed in the Office of the secretarS, as a part of these mi;~utes.
Mr. W. T. Mm.rtin moved to substitute the following for Mr. Ouncan's mo~ion: "That final decision be delayed until s detailed plan outlining the purpose. Operations, and curriculum cor.tent of the School of Community Service ~nd Public Affairs ma)r he presented to the faculty for consideration." The motion was seconded. Mr. tSartin stated that he was presenting tbis motioe~ on behalf of the faculty of the Department of SocLology.
The President stated that consideration directed to the perfection of the principal motion would take precedence over discussion of Mr. Martin's substitute motion Mr. George Stn~ble rose to a point o£ order, suggesting that Mr. Martin's motion was, in substance, a motion to postpone action rather than a substitute motion and therefore had precedence over further consideration of Mr. Duncan's motion. The PresLdent ruled that Mr. Struble's point was valid Mr. Martin's motion was then put to a vote and defeated.
Mr. F. W. Anderson moved to substitute the following for Mr. Duncan~s motion: "That the faculty of the University of Oregon endorses in principle the formation of a Department of General Social Science within the College of Liberal Arts. It is understood that, although this does not imply approval of the formation of a professional school in social services, it is not to be construed as being in opposition to the eventUa1 formation of such a school. Rather, should the experience of a Department of General Social Science show substantial student interest, the ereation of sound courses and programs, and the need for separate administrative status, this faculty would welcome a proposal for the creation of a new professional school in this area." The motion was seconded, and, after discussion, put to a vote and defeated.
After further discussion, Mr. Duncan's motion was put to a vote and carried.
TIME AND ADJOURNMENT. The President ir.quired whether the faculty wished to set a time for the adjournment of this meeting. Mr. L. E. Ward moved that the meeting be ad~ourned at 5:45 p.m. The motLon was seconded, put to a vote, and carried.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION. Mr. P, J. Runkel, chairman of an ad hoc Committee on Credit by Examination, m.oved on behalf of his committee the adoption of the following statement of policy to govern credit by examination in undergraduate courses:
To prove prior mastery of specified University of Oregon undergraduate courses, students may be a]lowed to take examinations for credit in them. These examinations are intende~d to render unnecessary the repetition of learning accomplisbed earlier.
A student may request permission to take an e~xamination for undergraduate credit by petition to the Academic Requirements Committee. The petition must be approved by the head of the instructional department or the Dean of the sehool that customarily dea1s with th~ subject of the examB~tion. The department head or dean or his delegate sho~ld prepare and administer the examination and report the results of the examLnation to the registrar.
Only courses identified by title in the University of Oregon Catalog may be available for credit by- examination; courses to be excluded are laboratory courses, courses including laboratory, research courses, reading and conference courses, thesis credits, seminars, and courses in which practice is essential. A student may attempt to obtain credit in a given course by examination only once. A student will not receive credit by examination for courses (a) in which the student previously has enrolle.d and failed, at this University or elsewhere; (b) which would substantially duplicate credit which he has already received; (c) which are more elementary than thosefor which he has previously received credit; and (d) which are at the lower-division level in his native language other than English. The Academic Requirements Committee may allow exceptions to these rules for good cause and with the approval of the appropriate department head or dean.
The credit by examination fee established by the Oregon State Board of uigher Education mmst be paid prior to the examination. Credits received by exaMination shall be nongraded and recorded with a mark of "pass" (P) and may not be counted toward fulfillment of the residence requirement,
To assure adequate preparation time for departments and sehools, arrangements for an examination must be made by the stUdent at least one month prior to the examination date.
The motion having been seconded, Mr. L. W. Staples, secretary of the Faculty Senate, reported that the Senate recommended its approval. He informed the faculty, however, that the motion, as it was presented to the Senate at its January 26, l966 meeting, included a final sentence which was deleted after the Senate meeting: "A common time during which all examinations shall be given each termshall be designated in the officia] academic calendar.'. He stated that qUestions were raised in the Senate concerning this sentence, but that the Senate had taken no action in regard to the sentence. Mr. G. T. Benson, chairman of the Academic Requirements Committee, reported that his committee had reviewed the motion and recommended its approval.
Mr. M. D. Ross suggested that, in the second sentence of the second paragraph, the words "must be approved by . . . "be changed to "must have the approval of . . . " Mr. Runkel stated that he would accept this change.
After further discussion, a member of the faculty moved the previous question. The motion was seconded. Mr. A. F. Moursund inquired whether, under the proposed plan for credit by examination, it would be possible for students to audit courses without registering and then receive credie by examination. Mr. O. J. Rollis rose to a point of order, that Mr. Moursund's question related to the principal motion, not to the motion now before the faculty, and was therefore out of order. The President ruled that Mr. Rollis was correct. The motion for the previous question was then put to a vote and carried.
The principal motion, as modified in accordance with Mr. Ross's suggestion, was then put to a vote and carrled.
Mr. J. M. Van Buskirk questioned ehe meaning and effect of certain provisions of the motion. The President ruled that, since the faculty had taken final action on the motion, further discussion was out of order. He suggested that Mr. Van Buskirk discuss his question with Mr. Runkel, and, if he believed changes should be made, propose an amendment at a later date.
WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSES. Mr. Benson aave noti~e, on behalf of the Academic Requirements Committee, that he would present the following motion at the March 1966 meeting of the faculty: All students may add or withdraw from courses during the first three weeks of any term, except that new students may withdraw
from courses during the first five weeks of their first three terms in residence -
at the University. Withdrawal or petition for withdrawal from a course after the third week of any term must include the acknowledgement of the student's adviser and instructor.
CODE OF STUDENT CONDUCT. The President called upon Mr. W. M. B~sye for a motion to amend the Code of Student Conduct. Mr Ivan Niven pointed out that only nine minutes remained hefore 5:45 p.m., the time set for adjournment, and that it was unlikely that any substantial progress could be made in the consideration of Mr. Basye's motion during this period. Re then moved that the meetLng be adjourned. The motion was seconded, put to a vote, and carried.
George N. Belknap Secretary of the Faculty
REGULAR MEETING OF TEZ FACULTY j
1 March 2, 1966
The meeting wa& called to order by President Ple ~ ing. The minutes of the meeting of Eebruary 2, 1956 were read and approved.
STUDENT CONDUCT COMMITTEE. Mr. W. M. Basye, chairman of the Student Conduct Committee, reported that his co~mmittee has adopted the following resolutions:
"Whereas by faculty legislation adopting the Code of Student Conduct no sanction or other disciplinary action shall be imposed on Q student by or in the name of the University except in accordance with the Code of Student Conduct, and
"P`ecognizing that by such legislatlon the £aculty did not intend to relinquish academic control of the classroom or the academic ri8ht of evaluating sta~dent scholastic performarce, and
"Further recognizing that not every academic or administrative decision relating to students constitutes a san-tion imposed for disciplinary reasons,
'~everth~les5, Be It Resolved, tbat the Seudent Conduct Committee reco~merds
to the facs~lty that where student conduct in the performance of acad~mic re= ~r~~
~~irements involves suspeeted academic cheatin$ or plagiarism that disciplinary | charOes be ir.stitueed under the StL~dent Conduct Cole instead of being bandled by the faculty tnrough academtc controls."
GODE OP STUDENT CONDUCT. Hr. Basye moved, on behalf of his committee, t'~t Sec.I, D, 1 of the Code of Student Conduct be amended to read as follows: "Living orgar;izations, societies, clubs and similar organized student groups are respousible for compliance ``rith University regulations. Upon satisfaceory proof that the group has encouraged or did not take reasonable steps, as a group, to prevent violations of University regulations, the group may be subjected to permanene or temporary suspension of charter, social probation, denial of use of Universlty facilities, or other lilce -sanctions."
The motion having beea seconded, Mr. L. W. Staples, seeretary of the Faculty Senate, reported that the Senate recommended that it be disapproved.
It was suggeseed by a member of the faculty that the second sentence was unclear, if not ungrammatical. The secretary suggested that the meaning would be clarified by the additfon of two co,mmas, one after "encouraged" and one after "prevent': Mr. Basye agreed to this change In punctuation. After further discussion, the motion was put to a vote and carried.
STUDENT-FACULTY COUNCIL. Mr. Jack Wilkinson moved that there be established a Student^Faculty Council, to consist of a chairman and five additional members of the faculty, appointed by th.e President on recommendation of the Committee sn Co,mmittees, and five student members appointed bv the President of the University on the recommendation of the president of the A.S.U.O. The Dean and Associate Dean of Paculties and the Dean of Administration may serve as ex officio non-voting members. The primary purposes of the Student-Faculty Council are conceived as follows:
To help generate and to increase concern at the University for meritorious ~~
teaching, by functioning as a clearing house for concepts, proposals, and sug- !'
gestions originating with both students and faculty; and to undertake to be a responsible avenue of comm~nication between faculty and students on matters pertaining to questions affecting the status of the student and the teacher in the University.
To function as a responsible forum, available for appropriate information and advice, whenever so requested by the President, the Faculty Senate, and the A.S.U.O. Senate.
To meet, monthly at least, throughout the academic year, obtaining thereby- the advantage of discussion and review appropriate to the matters set forth bere, and to worl toward the formulation of a semiannual report on the current state of the University in respect to these matters as seen from the point of view of this Council. This report is to be directed to the Paculty Senate and copies of it, on req~est, may be transmitted from the Senate to the Office of the President, to the University of Oregon faculty, and to the A.S.U.O. Senate
The motion having been seconded, Mr. Staples reported that the Faculty Senate recommended its approval.
Mr. P. L. Kleinsorge, member of the Committee on Committees, inquired for his committee whether, if Mr. Wilkinson's motion is approved, the Council would be appointed immediately. The President stated that the Council would be appointed immediately. ihY--~-e~+~~~*-s~bated-t+~*-tbe-G-~~e-iA-~~~~htA~e *p~oint ien=~Uh:~ely. Mr. Kleinsorge inquired whether, to insure continuity of faculty membership, it might not be wise to appoint members for staggered terms. The President stated that, on reconm~endation of the Committee on Committees, he would arrange appointments to introduce a plan of staggered terms.
Mr. C. E. Johnson inquired whether Mr. Wilkinson would accept a change in the last paragraph of his motion to provide for annual rather than semiannual reports. Mr. Wilkinson was not willing to accept this change. Mr. Johnson then moved that the words "a semiannual" in the last paragraph be changed to "an annual." Mr. Wilkinson stated that he would accept a change of the words ''a semiannual report" to "a report, to be presented at least annually." Mr. Johnson then withdrew his motion to amend.
Mr. Paul Civin moved to .mmend the provision for the appointment of student members to read "five student members from among the Phi Beta Kappa 'Senior Twelve,' appointed by the President of the University on the recommendation of the president o£ the A.S.U.O." The motion was seconded, put to a vo*e, and defeated.
Mr. J. C. Sherwood inquired whether the President of the University wQuld be required to appoint the students recommended for membership by the president of the A.S.U.O. President Plemming replied that he would be under no such obligation, but could request further recommendations if he was not satisfied with the list submitted to him by the president of the A.S.U.O.
A member of the faculty inquired whether meetings of the Student-Faculty Gouncil would be open to the press. The President stated that, as a body created by the faculty as distinct from an advisory body created by the Administration, the Council would be subject to the rules and traditions of the faculty, which are at~ present in general adverse to admission of the press to meetings of faculty bodies. However, he would assume that, in the absence of a specific provision on this point in the proposed legislation, the Council would be free to admit the press if it so desired
Mr. H. L. Penny moved to amend by adding, in the first line of the third paragraph, the words "in meetings open to the press." The motion to amend was seconded. Mr. Robert Campbell suggested that the word "press" be changed to "public." Mr.' Penny accepted this change. Mr. Bans Linde suggested that the amendment be changed to read.: "in meetings open to the public, except when, by maJority vote, the Council decides to close a meeting to the public." Mr. Penny accepted this change.
After further discussion, Nr. Penny's amendment, as reworded, was put to a vote and defeated. The principal motion' as modified, was then put to a vote and carried.
ADDING AND WITBDRAWING FROM COURSES. Mr. G. T. Benson, chairman of the Academic Requirements Committee, moved on behalf of his committee that "All students may add or withdraw from courses during the first three weeks of any term, except that new undergraduate students may withdraw from courses during the first five weeks of each of their first three terms in residence at the University.
tiApplication for withdrawal or petition for withdrawal from a course after the third week of any term must bear the acknowledgments of the student's adviser and itiS kructor."
