Convention Considers Fourth Vice President Proposal of a fourth vice president for the Associated Students highlighted discussion during Constitutional Convention sessions this week. The first proposed executive branch structure by Jerry Nebeker would establish four vice presidents to work "under direction of the President." Activities and Business andFin-ance vice presidential positions would remain essentially as they are now, according to Nebeker. The First Vice President title would be changed to Executive Vice President and the person filling that position would serve as president of the legislative body, not as speaker. The Senators would elect a speaker from their own ranks. In addition, Nebeker would add a Student Relations Vice President to head Coordinating Council, direct campus communications and public relations. Rolfe Kerr, Dean of Men, made another proposal which would establish four vice presidents. Kerr said he would list them as Executive, Legislative, Activities and Finance Vice Presidents. The activities and finance lead-ers, as in Nebeker's proposal, would keep the same duties they l now hold. The Legislative Vice President would be Speaker of the Senate and handle legislative matters for the President. This position would be similar to the present First Vice Presidential position.The Executive Vice President, according to Kerr, would serve as student coordinator of campus publicity, high school relations, public relations and community programs. He would act as chief executive officer in the President's absence.

Convention Chairman Peggy Hef-ferman indicated more suggestions would be made at future meetings before any proposed executive structure is accepted. The Dean said he would change the Coordinating Council to President's Council and place it under the President instead of a vice president. President Miller could be invited to the council periodically, Kerr added. Clarence Vellinga objected to the Coordinating Council as a presidential responsibility. He said under the President, it would be too powerful. "The council should not have power to schedule activities as proposed by some delegates," said Clifford Vellinga. He suggested it be placed under a vice president. Dean of Students Alan J. Dayley said a student-faculty committee to schedule activities had already been established and students would be wise to keep membership on that committee instead of establishing a new one.

(Second Floor, Rushnw Building) DIAMONDS savings guarantee President William P. Miller said, "Weber State does not intend to develop a large program in basic research, like the University of Utah and Utah State University have. However, a modest research is important to the college, its faculty and its students."President Miller further explained the needs of a research program at Weber, "One of the great needs of this country is that of encouraging young people to pursue advanced educational work. This need exists for progress of our scientific and technical econ- high school or high school graduates who have not previously taken the test are encouraged to apply, Marsden stated. However, eligibility will be limited to those registrants who have not taken any of the previous tests, he added.The exam, consists of 150 multiple choice items, which presupposes that there has been no schooling beyond the ordinary high school preparation for college. The Educational Testing Service prepares and grades the test, with scores being forwarded directly to the examinee's local board. The results are of an advisory nature only and are Intended to supplement other information in the registrant's file to assist the local board in determining the eligibility of the registrant for an occupational deferment as a student, Marsden said.

Introducing juniors and seniors to the great opportunities available to them and stimulating their determination to continue in graduate work is a primary function of a senior college. Introducing them to research is important to this goal. In this respect, research is equally important to undergraduate students as to graduate students. "Success of institutions of higher education is determined in great measure by the competency and currency of their faculty members. Faculty members with advanced education are very much interested in maintaining and developing their competency in their fields. A part of this development depends upon some research activity." "Many capable prospective faculty members will not join or remain with an institution if some limited research possibilities are not available," the president noted. He stressed that the school "is being required to provide more and more information concerning itself to the Coordinating Council, other agencies of state government, and the federal government. To obtain this information requires a continuous program of institutional research." Several local agencies, Including Ogden City, are constantly asking for information from the college. This information has to be done by research personnel. The amendment was originally drawn up for presentation to the House of Representatives of the state legislature, but Pres. Miller said it will probably be presented in the Senate instead. |
