Show Noon Discussions Candidates Bare Issues On Student Faculty Board Course Evaluation, more students on faculty committees com-mittees and a student-sponsored bookstore were topics discussed by candidates for ASUU Student-Faculty Board Friday at noon in the Alumni Lounge. The candidates are Bob Bacon, Jeff Fox, John Matheson, Jill Mulvay, Allan Sloan and Brian Swinton. Students Need Voice Referring to the problem of more student representation repre-sentation on faculty committees, Swinton said that students ought to have a voice on the Faculty Tenure Committee and the Student Policy Committee. "There is also a need for greater orientation of students at the time of selection as to what the particular committee commit-tee does, especially with artists and speakers. They would then know what they were doing." Sloan saw a specific need for a student to be placed on the faculty council. "With the constitutional change, students are going to need many contacts with the faculty. In response to placing a faculty member on Executive Council, he said, "I don't think that's necessary." neces-sary." Sloan advocated open two-sided discussion of faculty tenure. Miss Mulvay said, "Students should have a voice in curriculum planning and use the results of Course Evaluation in the curriculum planning." In response to a question concerning appointments to the student-faculty student-faculty committees, Miss Mulvay advocated a one student carry-over on each committee to help train and orient the others. John Matheson commented on Course Evaluation, saying, "It is a worthwhile program, but there is a basic problem of the A and B student rating the teacher teach-er higher than the C and D students. When asked which office his board position or his executive post he felt the most important, he said that before every executive meeting, the committee chairman should report to the board and then the board should work with Executive Council. Jeff Fox stated his goals as setting up discount cards and giving students credit for community service ser-vice projects. Referring to the discount cards, he stated, "A major oil company has already guaranteed that they will give us the same discount they give state employees on gas, oil and parts. "The faculty is behind the students, but the administration admin-istration isn't," Bob Bacon stated. He commented also on student selection for committees, saying "The first meeting is the only time a student feels disoriented. disor-iented. After the initial meeting he works as well as anyone else. |
