The Faculty Appellate Board
ruled Monday ni^t that the
Elections Board has been func
tioning without a quorum, and
therefore all they have done to
present is invalidated. The Fac
ulty Appellant Board had met
to resolve a controversy over
the constitutional requirement
that a student must have a 2.0
over-all average in order to
nm for an elected position with
in the student government.
The original question, raised
by PhU Rech and Whit Kehaya,
was whether a student must
have a 2.0 cumulative point
average at the beginning of
Spring semester, at the time
of the election even though
grades have not been turned
in, or at the end of the Spring
semester. The Faculty Ap
pellate Board ruled that in or
der to run for an elected of
fice, candidates must have a
2.0 at the time of self-nomina
tion.
In this way a student may
offer grade standards to date in
courses presently enrolled in
to establish a 2.0 overall. The
Board ruled that Phil Rech met
these qualifications but that
Whiy Kehaya did not.
The Elections Board consists
of 3 seniors from the Judicial
Board, 2 seniors from the Fac

C&C Planning Committee
To Study Course Future
In relation to the recent con
troversy over required courses
and course reorganization,
plans are now in the works for
a study of the C&C, core pro
gram and its requirements. Dr.
Douglas Hix, Director of the
Program, stated recently that
the Educational Policy Com
mittee had approved a study for
EPC Acts On Curriculm
And Teacher Education
^ T'
In the AprU meeting of the
Educational Policy Committee,
recommendations from the
Teachers Education, Winter
Term, and Curricular Planning
sub-committees of the EPC
were heard and acted upon.
Dr. Daughtrey, Chairman of
the Teacher Education Com-
mitee. Presented three recom
mendations dealingwith the for
mation of a steering commit
tee for the Teacher Education
program, the establishment o^
mechanism to show studeirt
compentancy in certain areas of
study required by
Education Program,Mdttia the
chairman of the TeachjEduca-
tion Sub-committee E. P. c.
be a member of the E. P. .
Dr. Melton, of the History De-
partment, moved
the r e commendations be adop
the Educational Policy
committee. Dr. Melton moved
first, “that the Teacher Ed
ucation sub-committee serve
as a program revision steer
ing committee to determine and
propose necessary teacher ed
ucation changes and that the
E P. C. request the appoint
ment of division sub-com
mittees for each teacher pro
gram area.”
Jimmy Stephens, a student
member of E. P. C., moved to
amend Dr. Melton’s motion to
Include “that an additional stu
dent be added to the steering
committee and that there be one
student on each program area
sub-committee.’,’
Both the amendment and the
amended motion of Dr. Melton s
were approved.
Dr. Melton next moved that
Teacher Education students who
demonstrate specified compe
tencies related to selected pre
professional educational course
(Continued to Page 4)
revision of C&C and that a coin-
mittee of professors and stu
dents has been selected to do
this study.
The faculty members of the
committee are Professors
Alexander, Arnold, Bushoven,
Crossley, Fulcher, Jones, Mel
ton, MiUer, Prust, and White.
Dr. Alexander wUl serve as
Chairman. Student members
are Ross Alderman, Ann Blue,
Steven Cook, Stevie Daniels,
and Tricia Smith. The stated
purpose of the committee is to
examine C&C and make rec
ommendations about its fu
ture.”
Since the C&C program Is the
basis of the curriculum and in
volves every student at St. An
drews, the investigation will
Involve asking fundamental
questions about the structure of
the entire curriculum. One of
the questions of special interest
to the committee, according to
Dr. Hix, win be the relation
ship between C&C, STMS, and
the Social and Behavioral Pro
cesses Program now being de
veloped.
The time Involved in this
study is presently indefinite,
but most of the next academic
year will probably be involved.
I'he committee also hopes to
find funds to bring in outside
authorities for a more critical
and objective evaluation of the
C&C program and also as a
source of new ideas.
