The vote came after a proposal from the Student Faculty Relations Committee, suggesting that the SGA bill be referred to the Faculty Registration Committee died on the floor. The bill states master lists of courses to be offered during the spring be prepared by Nov. 7 and pread visement for every department would begin shortly thereafter. After the advisement forms are completed, they would be computerized and sent to all departments. This allows departments to offer enough course sections so a course will not be closed out. If not enough sections can be offered, the students will know before registration. The motion to accept the proposal was made by J.D. Waugh of the College of Engineering. Waugh said the registration committee has suggested every point of the proposal, with the exception of the week-long advisement period, to the university in the past. "Many departments on campus chose not to use them," he said. "The registration committee has never had the authority to direct the department to do anything. " Peter Becker of the history department had previously said that if the Senate were to refer the proposal to the committee it would needlessly prolong the activity on the plan. "I've been here for six or seven years," Becker said, "and I've heard talk, but nothing has ever been done. If student government proposes a different system, I wonder why it really necessary to ask the registration committee to study it one more year. That would make ij too late for the spring." The problem of a week-long advisement period was raised by William F. Putnam of the business ad ministration college. "The leng t hof this period must be in relation to the size of the school," Putnam said. "I know it would be impossible for the BA school." The defeat of the motion that would have referred the proposal to committee and the subsequent approval of Waugh's motion are clear victories for SGA President Rita McKinney and Eileen Berlin, ombudswoman. In preparing the bill, which has passed unanimously by the Student Senate Sept. 26, both were concerned that it might be referred to yet another committee. "Rita and I will now meet with all people involved with the registration process to make sure that the steps are implemented before spring semester," Berlin said. "We've got great support now," Berlin said, "but the students have to go and get preadvised. We'll do our best to let them know when advisement is. "What this means is students will still have to go through registration, but they Will already be preenrolled in their major and hopefully their cognate. They'll also know which courses they have a chance of getting into so they can plan theirscheduleaccordingly," she continued.
