Students gain more representation in School of Arts and Sciences Student representation at Western Carolina University Is expanding. All three schools, Education and Psychology, Arts and Sciences, and Business have given more voice to toe students within their departments. Last quarter the Dean of to School of Arts and Sciences, Dean Eller, urged toe departments of that school to take steps to give toe students more representation. Thus far, committees have been formed in all the department.- except for Earth Sciences, Biology, and Physics. These should soon follow toe others. Each other department has a committee through which students are represented, The pattern and structure of these committees varies with each department. An example of what Is being done in toe School of Arts and Sciences is toe history department. A proposal was drawn up by toe history department to include student representatives in toe regular operating structure of toe department. These students will be elected and appointed to all departmental committees, with foil voting rights, except for toe one on graduate studies. The structure of this plan is as follows: Curriculum - 2 students, 5 faculty; Academic Standards - 2 students, 5 faculty; Library Priorities - 1 student, 3 faculty; Criteria for promotion and tenure (ad hoc)- 2 students, 3 faculty: Western Civilization Course (ad hoc) = 3 students, 5 faculty. The requirements for representatives are to have completed IS hours of history and to have a 2.50 qpr in all history courses taken. This proposal was passed last night by toe history majors. The following student representatives were elected: Steve Gheen, Gaitoer Keener, Lyn Gains, and Charles Elliot, The other four representatives will be appointed by toe end of this week. This proposal will be finalized only after acceptance by a special committee consisting of three history instructors. It is expected this decision will be made by toe middle of next week. Representatives from each department in toe School of Arts and Sciences are chosen to meet with toe Dean of the School in what has been established as toe Deans Advisory Council. The first meeting of this body took place last night. Dean of the School of Education and Psychology, TaftBot- ner, stated that his school was the first to have such committees. These are Ml formal education committees. An advisory committee has existed for the past five years which meets with the Dean. Botoer further stated that he meets with student groups each quarter. Dean Drewry of toe School of Business explained that his school also has student representation. "I have an advisory council of students the membership of which is composed of toe presidents of the 5 professional clubs and those business school students who are student senators," stated Drewry. This council meets at least once a quarter he explained. Drewry also stated that there are several ad hoc committees in operation all of which have student representation. In conclusion Drewry explained that toe School of Business is not as neatly departmentalized as the School of Arts and Sciences therefore toe channels of student representation are not to* same, but they do exist.
