The council registered no vote but recommended that the resolution be submitted to the entire faculty the first Wednesday in April. Izzie Lourie, student body presi dent, and Fred Blackwell, Student Council member, appeared in be half of the student body. The proposal would give a vote to the student serving on the Dis cipline Committee. Under the pres ent system he has no vote, acting as an observer only. At the present time a unani mous decision by the five members of the Discipline Committee is re quired on any disciplinary action. Under the proposed plan a major ity vote would be sufficient. Other Responsibilities It was pointed out by one mem ber of the Faculty Council that the Discipline not only handles stu dent conduct, but also entails the conditions upon which a student may enter the university after hav ing been suspended and the condi tions upon which students sus pended from other schools may enter. A possibility of an all-student Discipline Committee was sug gested to Lourie; Lourie stated that "It is my personal opinion that this would be too radical a !hange. Perhaps it may be tried in the future if this proposal is accepted, but I feel that the stu lents have too little experience in lisciplinary matters at the present time." Better Relations Mrs. Arney R. Childs, dean of women, gave the opinion that "We ire a university community, not raculty against student, and we :an, I think, work together better >n student problems." She went m~, "I have been on joint councils >efore and never did the students rote together wholly in opposition ~o the others. More frequently, ~tudents voted more in line with he faculty." She continued, "This is basically recognition that we can work >etter together." Principle Involved Dean Callcott, speculating on the >ossibility of a majority Discipline Jommittee vote actuallj being nore unsafe for the student than he present one which requires a unanimous decision, asked Stu lent Council's view on that score. 3lackwell replied that the students !eel that they are gaining in prin ~iple and are willing to make the hange. The crux of the Student Council riew centered on principle and the hought that approval of the reo ution would bring about a much ~loser relationship between faculty, idministration and students. In the event that the resolutcs .s passed by the faculty, it will ~hen be recommended to the Board >f Trustees for final action. "Y" ELECTIONS All members of the Univer sity "Y" are reminded that elections of "Y" officers will be held Wednesday, March 17 at 1:00 p.m. in Flinn Hall. Students must present smember ship cards in order to ote
