The council, created last Spring to bring together the university's constituencies under one body, was chaired by Dr. John Johns, president Little action was taken as most of the evening was spent on very candid discossion on the academic problems of the University, Most of the discussion centered around three resolutions adopted by the Student Senate dealing with the student-faculty ratio, the university's philosophy of Wring professors, and the present racial ethnic and religious composition of the faculty. The most significant action of the evening probably was the ftpppipiment of a constitutional committee.

By ERNIE ACOSTA The controv* enacted into S Term Program remain. And do more, for the tir Dr. Robert Chauvin, Dean of the roiiege of Liberal Arts, expressed confidently that the problems that arose from the enactment of ibe pass-fail last year system will be resolved when miol-roester comes around this year, Faculty and students will then he better prepared for the innovations than they were a year ago, when the program was on a totally experimental stage, he said The changes in minimester last ■111! itltltl mm tHNMpflttP' ||^====l|=1=1=|7|JJ=1 - -=IHll-il - - - -==lll=Ul=- - - 'li-to. - ^llllli'*1!

The student still has to tale one minimester course in each discipline of the liberal Arts school (social sciences, natural sciences and humanities). The pass-fail system drew some protests last year from students who felt that they were being deprived of a traditional opportunity to raise their grade averages during that period, This was heard especially from those who were on academic probation, Dr. Chauvin ruled out at least for the present, further proposed changes on the program. One such proposal, that the University drop all in* derdisciplinary requirements and alow the student to take whatever courses he feels are necessary, would he ruled nut by the facolty, he said. ;"I don't think the faculty feels that the students are ready to decide that for themselves," be added. On a proposal by Dr. Charles Andrews that the university guaranty a minl-mester abroad to alt students, Chauvin said that it wasan economic impossibility. The Dean also rated out a third proposed revision, suggested by two business school students, ^nce Loria aai Rod Hansen, that the student be allowed to spend his senior year's mini- inester doing vocattonai work in his field, explaining that such work, is not within fee context of a Liberal Arte education.
