The ninth Senate meet- ing of the year was held on friday afternoon. Many is-

/ sues of general concern were discussed.

There will be a

| new course next year, Arts | $21.

The course will deal with a broad range of top-

ics related to library usage..

Now before anyone gets the idea that this is an “easy credit” they should consider carefully just what can be put into a course like this. The majority of Senators be- lieve that the new course will be both challenging and ben- eficial to any student who chooses to enroll. There have also been new regula- tions proposed for the selec- tion of departmental chair- persons. If any students are interested in finding out more about such a thing then they should see any of their student Senators or contact prof. Gary Webster (if one can find him) who chairs the committee that has brought

forth the new proposals. The Senate also dis-

cussed a new mission state- ment. A mission statement is the statement in the UPEI calendar that describes the university and states it’s in- | tended purpose and goals. | Coleman O’Hare chairs t the committee charged with drafting the new statement. | Some of the more colorful de- ' bates on the Senate in re- cent weeks were between Mr.

| garding this statement. (The ‘above statement is intended as a personal note of thanks to both gentlemen for help- ing a young Senator enjoy his position~a little more.) If anyone is interested in having input into that pro- cess Mr. O’Hare would be the person to contact. But do so quickly- there is not much time left (if any) for changes. The President, Dr. Eliot informed Senate that

we should begin con- struc- tion on the field house by Nov. of this year. Also in his report he stated that the committee that adminis- ters the Governor General’s medals “got olympic fever” and have decided to cease the practice of offering a Gov- ernor General’s Gold medal to the student graduating with the highest standing in a Bachelor degree program. Instead the powers-that-be have decided to award a gold, silver , and bronze medal. The gold for a Masters pro- gram, a silver for Bache- lor, and bronze for high school. Needless to say the response was quick and to the point. Dr. Eliot, even

before Senate had been for- mally informed, had written a strongly worded letter to the medals committee stat- ing UPEI’s disapproval of the intended changes. Also in the letter he had pointed out that UPEI had not been con- sulted about the changes and that they certainly do not re- flect the wishes of this uni- versity. Senate approved of the action taken by our Pres- ident.

The nominating commit- tee reported that there will be positions open on various committees this spring. The nominations for the spring openings will close on March

25th. and the recommen-

dation will be made to Sen- ate on the 26th of April. If anyone is interested in sery- ing on a committee or has a suggestion for a potential member they should get in contact with prof. Webster. Just a note to reassure stu- dents who would like to get invol- ved with committee work, don’t think that your talents are not sufficient for committee work. Very often the qualifications that are re- garded the highest are rather simple ones; an interest in serving is often more than enough. The ARP (Aca- demic Review and Planning) committee gave their annual report. They had a quite busy and productive year. If any students are interested in reading their report, it can be obtained by contact- ing a student Senator.

Two new Senators were elected and began serving their term at friday’s meet- ing. They are Lori Reeves and Earl Byrne, they wish to thank all of the dents who voted for them and they hope to be able to serve the students of UPEI well. Nancy Lovering and Elizabeth Yeo were warmly thanked for their service over the past year. Their Sen- ate terms were completed as of the commencement of Fri- day’s meeting. Other Sen- ators currently serving are Bryon Howard and myself Kevin O’Brien. Our terms will cease at the election of two senators during the Fall elections to be held in the next academic year. Also, representing the MAPUS or- ganization on Senate is Paula Gauthier.

Students should feel free to approach any student Sen- ator with any issues that they feel should be dealt with by the Senate. Best of luck in the upcoming exams... "
