CALL TO ORDER/APPROVAL OF MINUTES

President Paul Simonds called the meeting to order at 3:08 p.m., in Room 238 Gilbert, on October 12F 1994. The minutes of the May 25, 3994 meeting of the University Senate were approved as distributed. ANNOUNCEMENTS

President Simonds announced that the membership of the University Senate Budget Committee has been finalized. The Senate endorsed the membership.

Next the Senate Executive Committee was listed and approved, as was the Rules Committee membership.

In November the University Senate will elect a member of the Senate to serve in the Interinstitutional Faculty Senate. The term of office will be three years and will commence on January 1, 1995. Normally the election will take place at the December meeting but no December meeting will be held because the meeting date falls on the first Wednesday of Winter Break.

The President presented various topics/issues/proposed legislation that the Senate will have to visit this academic year.

NEW BUSINESS

The Student Senate was changed by the student body in the Spring ASUO elections. The Vice President of the Student Body is now the Chair of the Student Senate. Under the rules of the University Assembly the number of student senators is limited to 18 and the newly revised Student Senate has 18 members plus the Chair. Thus the Chair of the Student Senate does not have voting privileges on the floor of the University Senate. As ASUO Vice President the Chair does have access to the floor of the Senate but not the right of speaking on the floor. Because of this Mr. Keith Richard, University Archives, moved that the University Senate grant the right to speak on the floor of the Senate to the Chair of the Student Senate. This motion passed by voice vote and without opposition.

ADJOURNMENT

The business of the meeting having concluded the meeting adjourned at 3:30 p.m.
