After a short debate, Mr. Chapin Clark moved that the motion be amended as follows: that in the second line of the motion, following "Advisory Council'' there be inserted "and to the Personnel Committee approved by the faculty in June 1972." The discussion that followed was whether or not this constituted a necessary addition in order to clarify methods for holding other elections which borrow from the election procedure applicable to the Advisory Council. After a brief discussion on this point, it was suggested by Mr. Alfred Rubin that it be accepted as a consensus that the adoption of the new method of election would be appl-~cable to the Personnel Committee, the Graduate Council election and any other election whose methods depend on procedures applicable to the Advisory Council. The President ordered that this statement of consensus be included in the minutes. With this addition to the minutes, Mr. Chapin Clark withdrew his amendment. After-further discussion Mr. Val Lorwin moved to refer the motion back to the Senate for a factual analysis and study. The motion to refer was seconded, put to a vote and carried.

ON ROTC. Mr. Andrew Thompson was recognized to present the following motion: i.I move that the faculty requests that the President ask the State Board of Higher Education to terminate its contract with the Department of Defense governing the ROTC programs at the University of Oregon, such termination to be effected so as to allow those students who are in the final two years of these programs, and hence already members of the Air Force or Army Reserve, to complete their programs."

courses will be accepted for transfer from unaccredited-Oregon schools
when approved by the State Board of Higher Education.

by the recommendations in current source books on comparative education
published by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admis-
sions Officers, the American Council on Education, the National Education
Research Foundation, Inc. and the National Association of Foreign Student
Advisors.

The motion was seconded, put to a vote and passed.
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS COMMITTEE: Mr. Jack Sanders was recognized to make the following announcement: "Effective the end of the sixth week of this term, the Academic Requirements Committee will review petitions for late change of grade options when such petitions offer satisfactory evidence of compelling reasons for making such late changes. No petitions may be considered after the end of the eighth week of any term, due to the ~mpossibility of altering grade option designations on final grade report forms after that date."
COMMITTEE REPORT-ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS COMMITTEE: Mr. Jack Sanders was recogn~zed to give the following committee report: ~'The present committee, ~n order to br~ng committee policy on transfer courses that satisfy group requ~rements ~nto line with faculty legislation of June t0, 1970, hereby amends the committee report of November 10, 1962, as follows: the Academic Requirements Committee and the Admissions Policy Committee, with a request that the Senate look into the matter and attempt to reconcile the differences and recommend to the faculty how they should proceed. A special committee was set up under the chairmanship of Mr. Glenn Starlin. Mr. Tattersall went on to say that the Starlin committee report generally supports the position of the Academic Requirements Committee. The senate adopted a motion October 25 that Mr. Starlin give the report of his sub-committee as the Senate's position. This motion was adopted by the Senate: 26 for; 4 against and no abstentions. Mr. Clifford Zukin reported that the ASUO Senate took no action on this motion.
Mr. Jack Sanders, on behalf of the Academic Requirements Committee, stated that he had four amendments to offer, to be considered separately.
In Section 1., substitute the words, "primarily based upon,~' for the words, "determined by."
In Section 3., add the words, "as well as by information available to the University from the foreign institutions themselves."
For Section 4.a., substitute the words, "not more than 24 hours of skills courses, with no more than 12 hours in any one skills area, may be accepted, except that this limitation does not apply to those music and physical education courses accepted by the Schools of Music and of Health, Physical Education and Recreation respectively for their degree programs. Skills courses are defined as music performance (applied music) courses, physical education activities courses, and lower division terminal vocational-technical courses. Faculty legislation of May 11, 1955, and othe'r faculty precedent governing limitations on credit for such courses is hereby amended."
Add Section 4.c.: "Not more than 48 hours of..upper division professional courses from programs accredited 6~ professional organizations leading to specialized degrees may be accepted, except that this limitation does not apply to those professional coUrses accepted by the several professional Schools and Colleges of the University for their respective degree programs. Faculty legislation of April 6, 1933, governing limitations on credit for s~ch courses is hereby amended. Provided: that no hours of professional courses in professional programs in the field of religion may be accepted.~'
Mr. Dawson and the seconder accepted without objection the first and second amendments offered by Mr. Sanders. Mr. Robert Kime moved to amend recommendation 3 by eliminating the words ~'except that this limitation does not apply to those music and physical education courses accepted by the Schools of Music and of Health, Physical Education and Recreation respectively for their degree programs.~' Following a discussion of the implications of his proposed amendment, Mr. Kime asked that his motion to amend be withdrawn. The faculty member who seconded agreed. The motion to amend by inserting Mr. Sanders' third recommendation was put to a vote and passed. The fourth recommendation was now before the faculty. Mr. Sherwood moved to amend the amendment by deleting the last sentence. The motion to amend the amendment was put to a vote and passed. The amendment, as amended, was put to a vote and passed. Mr. Richard Ingraham moved to amend the motion by adding a section as follows: "Add Section 4. d.: Interinstitutional committees in specific academic or professional school disciplines may be formed at the University of 0regon to examine the issue as to which technical-vocational courses ought to be considered for transfer to specific academic departments or professional schools. These committees can be set up at the discretion of a department or pr-ofessiana1 school but should keep the Academic Requirements Committee informed on their progress in developing a specific transfer agreement. The interinstitutional committee will forward the final proposed agreement to the Academic Requirements Committee for review by that committee, and by the schools and departments with mutual interest in questions of vocationaltechnical transfer in the subject area being considered. The proposed agreement will then be forwarded through regular channels to the Faculty Senate, President Clark, and Vice Chancellor Romney for approval."
The motion to amend was seconded. President Clark stated that the amendment as proposed should be altered so that the proper names of the President and the Vice Chancellor are not included in faculty legislation. Following a discussion of the proposed amendment, Mr. Sanders moved to refer the amendment to the Faculty Senate for consideration. The motion to refer was seconded. The Chairman ruled that Mr. Ingraham's motion was out of order and should be submitted as new legislation. He suggested to Mr. Ingraham that he offer it as a Dotice of motion at the appropriate time. The main motion, as amended, was put to a vote and passed.

President Clark ruled that the motion was out of order. He stated that this motion had been made previously and had been referred to the Advisory Council with instruction to report back to the faculty. At the May 3, 1972, meeting of the faculty, Mr. Paul Civin, then Chairman of the Faculty Advisory Council, reported that the Council was not ready to report in view of the fact that the State Boardis tenure study had not been completed, and that this matter was being referred to the new Advisory Council.

tions. After a brief discussion Mr. George Dawson moved the following

COMMITTEE ON THE CURRICULUM. Mr. Roland Ball, Chairman of the Committee on the Curriculum, stated that a supplementary report of the committee on the curriculum containing course changes for the Law School had been distributed and was ready to be considered. Mr. James Tattersall, Secretary of the Faculty Senate moved ''that the faculty approve the supplementary report of the Committee on the Curriculum, dated 28, March 1973, consisting of pages 1 through 4 of the document headed PSCHOOL OF LAW'." The motion was seconded. The faculty considered the report page by page. After concluding page 4, the motion to approve the report was put to a vote and carried.
ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. Harry Alpert announced that Dean Burton Moyer is leaving the hospital on April 11 to return to his home for further recuperation, having made considerable progress toward recovery while in the hospital. Mr. Alpert moved that the secretary be instructed to send a letter to Dean Moyer expressing the faculty's wish for his complete and rapid recovery. The motion was seconded, put to a vote and carried unanimously.
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY COMMITTEE. Mr. John Sherwood made a report for the Educational Opportunity Committee (the summary below was prepared by Mr. Sherwood): "The faculty would naturally expect that the EOC, as the standing faculty committee responsible for this area, would report on the recently announced decision to terminate the minority projects. The committee must report that it was not consulted at the time the decision was made. It must further report that the announced plan is opposed by many faculty experienced in this area; although the emphasis on study skills and career planning has merit, the disbanding of the existing minority projects will leave many minority students without the cultural and psychological support they need to survive. The projects may be controversial, but it has not been proved that they have failed. The committee will continue to observe and to report to the faculty."
OLD BUSINESS
TRANSFER OF CREDIT. Mr. James Tattersall, on behalf of the Faculty Senate, reported that the Senate had considered the motion offered by Mr. Richard Ingraham and the substitute motion offered by Mr. George Dawson, both of which had been referred back to the Senate at the March 7, 1973 faculty meeting. Mr. Tattersall stated that the Senate will recommend to the faculty at the appropriate time that both motions be tabled. The vote to table passed the Senate by a vote of 16 for, 11 against, and no abstentions. He stated further that if the faculty declines to table the motion, the Senate will recommend against substituting the Dawson motion for the Ingraham motion. This action was approved in the Faculty Senate, 18 for, 8 against, and no abstentions. Should the Ingraham motion be before the faculty, the Senate's recommendation made at the March 7 faculty meeting approving Mr. Ingraham's motion, and which passed the Sen~te 17 for, 4 against and 6 abstentions, is still the Senate's recommendation. Mr. George Pratt reported on the discussion of the Faculty Senate. Mr. James Tattersall moved, on behalf of the Faculty Senate, that both motions be tabled. The motion was put to a vote and carried.
ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS COMMITTEE. Mr. Jack Sanders presented the following motion: "On behalf of the Academic Requirements Committee, I move that faculty legislation of February 7, 1973, which states that 'Skills courses are defined as music performance (applied music) courses, physical education activities courses, and lower division terminal vocational technical courses' be amended to read as follows: ~Skills areas are defined as encompassing 1) music performance (applied music) courses, 2) physical education activities courses, and 3) lower division terminal vocational-technical courses'." Mr. James Tattersall, Secretary of the Faculty Senate, reported the vote of the Faculty Senate as follows: 24 for, none against, and no abstentions. The motion was put to a vote and carried.
IMPROPERLY ENROLLED STUDENTS. Mr. Jack Sanders, on behalf of the Academic Requirements Committee, moved that, "when an instructor determines that a student has enrolled in his course for which there is a published prerequisite without having met the prerequisite, or that a student has enrolled in his course in violation of a published restriction on enrollment in that course, and the instructor determines that the student should not continue in the course, the instructor shall inform the student, in writing and prior to the deadline for adding courses, of the prerequisite or restriction and shall request that the student withdraw from the course. In his written statement to the student, the instructor shall further inform the student that, if he does not withdraw from the course prior to the deadline for withdrawing from courses, the Registrar will remove his name from the class roll. The instructor shall send a copy of such notice to the Registrar, and the Registrar shall remove the studentis name from the class roll after the deadline for withdrawing from courses, if the student has not withdrawn by that time."

He stated also that the Senate will recommend an amendment which was approved by the Faculty Senate by a vote of 20 for, 6 against, and no abstentions. Mr. Sanders, during the discussion, stated that the Academic Requirements Committee will approve late petitions from students who have received notice dUring the last week to add COUrseS. Mr. James Tattersall moved that the words "at least one week" be inserted preceding the word "prior" in the eighth line of the motion. Motion to amend was seconded, put to a vote and defeated. The question was raised as to whether or not the committee's decision to approve late petitions could be binding on future committees. When it was pointed out by the Chairman that this is not the case, Mr. Sanders moved to amend the main motion by adding that "the Academic Requirements Committee is hereby instrUcted to approve late add petitions from students who receive such notice dUring the last week to add courses, for one full week from the respective dates of such notice."
The motion to amend was seconded. The Chair advised Mr. Sanders that his motion to amend was out of order but that it would be accepted as a notice of motion in view of the difficulty of editing the motion by a deliberative body. Mr. Sanford Tepfer moved to refer the motion along with the proposed change back to the Faculty Senate. The motion to refer was seconded, put to a vote and carried.
