Faculty Senate Seeks New Tenure Policies
I P Butler Renovates
SAFAC
By BARBARA KERR
Hurrlcano Auinant Ntwt Editor
The Student Activity Fee Allocation	Committee
(SAFAC) has been restruct-ed to “help insure that the activity fee distribution will be in the best interests of all students and UM.”
“Last year’s committee didn’t meet the entire year because SBG President Kras-now refused to appoint a chairman,” Dr. William Butler, Vice President for Student Affairs said. “I felt we should not go through this possibility again.”
“I appointed a review com-mittee last spring to examine the existing SAFAC structure and to make recommendations” Dr. Butler said.
The revised SAFAC will be responsible for designating the annual distribution of the Student Activity Fee, currently $36.45 per undergraduate student. This includes distribution to entertainment and culture committees Homecoming, Carni - Gras the Student Union, the Rathskeller, the fieldhouse, intramural facilities, and the movie series.
SAFAC will not have the power to change the amount of the Activity Fee, but may, from time to time, make recommendations to appropriate UM officials to help create change through Student Body referendums.
“We wanted to eliminate the past campus politics which prevented it (SAFAC) from functioning last year,” Dr. Butler said.
SAFAC under the 1970 SBG constitution had been made up of six senators and the SBG treasurer as a nonvoting member which had to submit “all allocations to the Student Senate for approval.”
The revised committee membership will include eight (8) voting members and two (2) non-voting advisors broiy*n down as follows:
•	Students-at-Large ... 3 members, to “be randomly selected from among all eligible undergraduates by computer, (sophomore, junior, senior)."
•	Athleti-s ...	1
one (1) fro^i each class member, who will be chosen by the team captains of all sports that get SAFAC allocations.
•	Media ... 1 member. TRUCK (formerly TEMPO), IBIS, THE HURRICANE, and WVUM will select in a public drawing the order in which each organization will choose a person to serve on the committee. This will become the permanent order of rotation on a four year basis.
•	Treasurer of Student Body Gov’t. ... 1 member, who will hold a nonvoting seat on the committee upon his election. He will assume voting powers at the beginning of the new Committee term, to be retained until the end of that fiscal year.
•	Activities ...	2
members, who represent all other groups not mentioned above who are funded by SAFAC. Each organization president shall meet to select two representatives from this classification.
“I’m very pleased with the work of the review committee,” Dr. Butler said. “It remains to be seen how it will work. I’m optimistic about it. It seems to me, a major step in the right direction.”

The UM Faculty Senate will begin consideration this month on a procedure to be used for releasing faculty members in case of financial exigency at UM according to Senate Chairman Dr. Gary Salzman.
The release of several faculty members last spring because of financial exigency brought about the need for such a procedure.
The ten page proposal would set the following guidelines:
• No more than approximately 70% of projected positions in each department or school shall be tenured appointments
• Early retirement of tenured personnel with full retirement benefits at or after age 62 be encouraged but not required
•	Release of budgetary information to the Faculty Senate by the Administration to determine if a state of financial exigency is bona fide
•	The release of untenured faculty before tenured faculty
•	The procedure to follow if a tenured faculty member must be released
•	Relocation of re-

Dr. Salzman
... faculty head
leased tenured faculty members in another department or elsewhere in UM, with the receiving department having no authority to reject the new assignment.
The 70% limit on tenured faculty within a department would protect, to some degree, the job security of those tenured personnel. If a department was faced with reduction in its staff, 30% of that department could be released before the need to release tenured faculty would arise.
A provision in the proposed procedure would allow “an outstanding scholar” to obtain tenure in a department where 70% of its staff is tenured. However, a 2-3 vote of approval would be required of the Senate Council upon approval of 2-3 of the School Council.
A controversial section of the plan is the provision for relocation of released tenured faculty to other departments. This section was included to give “assurance of academic freedom and psychological and economic security to the hundreds of tenured faculty members” according to the proposal.
The guidelines of this provision give the Senate Council complete authority in deciding whether a tenured member is qualified for a position in a new department. Although the receiving department would be consulted to determine the qualifica-
tions and the effect of such an assignment, it would have
no authority to reject the assignment.
Resources would be made available by UM to assist in the training which may be required by such relocation.
The order of termination of tenured faculty, if such an occasion should arise, would primarily affect those tenured personnel with the least seniority.
Salzman referred to the proposed procedure as a “modified last in, first out” principle.
Under this principle, the last tenured faculty member along with all other members whose tenure-seniority does not exceed his by more than three years would be considered for termination. The decision of which of these members is to be terminated would be made by the remaining tenured members in that department.
The need for the entire procedure is outlined in the proposed policy. Basically it is because the threat of reduction of department staffs is steadily increasing.
The establishment of Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, the natural optimum number of students the UM campus can accommodate, the limitation on tuition imposed by the country’s economy and the current reductions in gover-ment support are the major reasons for this development.
The proposal, authored by mathematics professor Herman Meyer, was prepared by the Senate Council during the summer.
Salzman said that the Senate would consider the proposed policy at its next meeting on Oct. 18. However, he indicated that the Senate probably would not complete its considerations on the matter until its November meeting.
Approval by UM President Dr. Henry King Stanford and the UM Board of Trustees would be required upon approval of the Faculty Senate for the proposal to become effective.

UM President Henry King Stanford told the faculty of the School of Engineering Friday that the school will not be abolished.
Meeting with the Engineering faculty. Dr. Stanford announced his decision to keep the school intact and not transform it into a department of the University.
The Commission on Academic Goals (CAG) recommended last summer that the School of Engineering be abolished.
Stanford based his decision on a proposal, drawn up by the Engineering School faculty, which consisted of increasing student enrollment by vigorous recruiting, cutting down costs, enlargement of class sizes, enlargement of class loads given to the individual faculty member, soliciting of alumni, and by applying for research grants.
The faculty from the Engineering school has already begun to implement some of the proposals in their report.
Their report emphasized the disastrous effect of transforming the school into a department of UM. It stated that the enrollment would suffer by a loss of 500 students. and the general appeal of engineering would drop.
The faculty report also suggested a reorganization of the school internally, but at the meeting the last response was that autonomous departmental structure would still be intact.
It was a feeling among the faculty that a new dean was needed in order to stabilize the school Dr. Stanford was in agreement with this, under the premise that the faculty understood they must be prepared to face leadership. They must also critically reexamine their curriculum to check it’s timeliness.
There was a suggestion by one of the faculty for a student poll among the engineering students to find out their reactions and therefore not only depend upon the faculty’s opinion.
In a single class, a poll had been conducted and only one student voted against the bringing together of departments.
Another gripe centered around the University’s attitude toward the Engineering School. The faculty felt the University, and the public relations department did not help the Engineering School in any way.
The faculty report, was questioned as to why it had not been put before Stanford five years ago.
“Five years ago,” a student said, “we didn't have this problem.”
It was also discussed that an outsider be brought in to look over the architecture department and give recommendations as to how the department could improve itself to receive accreditation.

UM Students Relax Between Classes

New Bookstore Lockers Protect Student Patrons

By GERRY HOLLINGSWORTH
Of Th« Hurricane Staff
Students using the UM Bookstore this fall can now shop without fear of having their books stolen.
The staff of the Bookstore has moved the book lockers from the Breezeway into the store itself.
During previous years, students were not able to use the lockers outside because of continued vandalism and theft. Leaving their books on shelves inside the bookstore still resulted in many theftB.
With the lockers inside the bookstore, students are able to utilize its service and convenience. More important, they are able to protect their books from theft.
All students have to do to use a locker is to deposit a quarter, remove the key and place their books inside the locker.
When the locker is reopened the quarter is returned to the student.
Now that the outside lockers have been removed, many students are wondering what will be done with the open spaces created by the locker removal. That problem is currently being solved by the staffs of the UM Bookstore and Whitten Student Union.
According to Mrs. Kay Whitten, Student Union program director, “Two spaces will be given to the bookstore for displays and two will be given to the Student Union. One of the union spaces will be used as a monthly university calendar of events.”
The spaces will be enclosed with plexiglass that will be locked to prevent entrance by unauthorized persons.
"We are not sure what we will do with the other space. But we will decide when we have a meeting to discuss the subject,” Mrs. Whitten said.

Three of the 17 agencies the SUMMON program had been committed to this fail have been dropped due to the enrollment decrease as a result of UM’s new pricing policy.
“We had had requests from over 40 agencies and had anticipated sending students to 17. After two weeks of juggling students it’s impossible to do so. So we are unable to send students to three agencies,” Norman Ma-nasa, director of SUMMON said.
Mansasa said that it was common knowledge that the new pricing policy of 16 credits instead of 18 for regular tuition would result in enrollment drop and hurt chances of future federal funding.
"We knew when the new pricing policy went into effect we would take a beating,” Mansasa said. “It would force students to pay $100 for the three credits SUMMON offers. I asked UM’s Budgeting Commission to waive this new policy for the SUMMON program. They refused.' ’
Manasa then approached
UM President Henry King Stanford, who has the power to waive the policy. But he also refused.
“The effect this semester has been to cut the effectiveness of this program in the community, from the 400 students we should have had this semester to the roughly 100 we have now," Manasa said.
The three agencies cut are:
The Princeton Migrant Camp, Jackson Memorial Hospital, both part of the SUMMON program last year, and Mays Junior High School.
“What we provide to the community no one else does, not even the Community Relations Board of the United Fund.
“The great number of people we could have assisted this fall now must go without,” Manasa said.
