He said by creating two bills, the professors could see that the students were doing their part to limit activities. Ed Walker, assemblyman from the School of Natural Sciences, stated he saw the strength of the bill cut in half by the division. He added it is impossible to legislate what students do during their own time. Student government perogative . Jon Bingham, academic vice president, said the bill would lose strength in his opinion if divided however, he added, student government should have the prerogative to say an activity shouldn't be offered. He said both bills would be aimed towards one goal. Walker said before presenting the bill to the Faculty Senate,, there should be a ratified one from the Executive Council or "we won't have a foot to stand on in the Faculty Senate." Walker moved to table the amendment and the assembly decided to call a special meeting to write up the bill for the Executive Council. Type of activities Also dealing with "Dead Week" some questions were brought up concerning the types of activities student government should plan and the days to be included in "Dead Week." Young said he had some "qualms" about including Saturday in the limitation schedule. Bingham said only activities planned and specifically approved by Executive Council should be scheduled. Young stated the resolution should say what activities can and can't be done during "Dead Week" as it has to pass the Faculty Senate. He added that if the resolution was watered down too much the professors would reject the resolution. VvaiKw said the point of bill was not to stifle the professors but to encourage them to schedule assignments and tests. He added that assignments could be changed up to two weeks in advance. 11 Thousands of Topics $2.75 per paye Send for your up-to-date"; 160-page, mail order catalog.
