(The Signpost photo: Robeen Gillem) Budget (cont'd from front page) Legislature were to convene in special session, she said. "At this point, we don't know if the Governor is going to convene the Legislature, and if he's going to do it, there may be special parameters," Kotter said. The final line on the breakdown is Recreation, which will see a 3 5.7 percent increase, from $2.10 pspq, to $2. 85 ps pq. As to the question of why student fees don't fund more academically related projects, Kotter pointed to the current student fees philosophy statement. "It's not that we can't put student fees into academic programs. What we have suggested through the philosophy statement is that's why you pay tuition," Kotter said. "If students want to put more of their fees into academic things, they can choose to do so," she continued. Doing so, however, can have negative effects, according to Kotter. She cited this year's Education and General (EG) Funds budget as proof positive of what happens when students just say "no". The EG budget, currently in preliminary stages, is calling for some of those funds to be directed to departmental programs previously unfunded from EG because the students refused to fund them totally from fees. "This is the first year that EG money has gone into Performing Arts," Kotter said of the nascent budget. Education curriculum needs clarification says student VP By Jill Titensor Managing Editor Faculty Senate was conducted in the Wattis Business Building, room 122 yesterday afternoon. The Admissions, Standards and Student Affairs report included the submission and approval of a policy concerning children in the classroom. The policy originated in Student Senate and was .sponsored by Non-Traditional Student Senator Dan Alsup. Because of the special nature and purpose of classroom instruction at Weber State College, children are not allowed in classes unless prior approval is obtained from the instructor of each class. Emergency situations are considered. Mike Vause, Curriculum and General Education Committee chair, presented the report for his committee. , With the exception of three new English courses, the report , was approved by the senate. The Department of English proposed three 600-level classes: ENGL 611 Writing for . Teachers; ENGL 62 1 Literature for Teachers ; and ENGL 631 Language and Linguistics for Teachers. Concern over assigning these courses to the 600-level was expressed by several senate members. Dr. Sam Zeveloff said, "We need to make them course numbers appropriate to the level at which they are taught" After much discussion on the matter, ASWSC Academic Vice President Jim Puffer said, "It doesn't seem there is an adequate representation from the English Department to resolve this matter." He moved to remove those three items from the report and approve other requested curriculum changes for the School of Arts and Humanities. The issue of 500-level versus 600-level courses and respective course content was sent to the Executive Committee for clarification. The Curriculum and General Education Committee will look into this issue further in the near future. In the School of Technology the Institutional Certificate Degree Secretarial Science has been deleted due to lack of student participation. And the Administrative Systems Minor has added a second emphasis. A telecommunications emphasis will now be offered as an emphasis, as well as an administrative -systems emphasis. Michael Vaughan, chair for Salary, Benefits, Budget and Fiscal Planning informed the Faculty Senate of the recent approval by the state legislature of a 5.5 percent salary increase for WSC faculty members. All faculty members that have performed at satisfactory levels in the areas of teaching, service and professional activity will receive a 3 percent increase. "Three was no legislative intent that those monies be allocated across the board," Vaughan said. Salary monies above the 3 percent level will be used to address meritorious faculty performance above satisfactory levels. Various members praised WSC President Stephen Nadauld for his efforts during this year's legislative session to enhance salaries of continuing faculty. He, in turn, thanked the senate for their efforts. Happy Spring Break! The staff at The Signpost want to wish you good luck on finals, and a happy and safe Spring Break! See ya in three weeks!
