(ouncil Proposes Frosli Hulls, Room Brown 5, Rule Enforcement Ed. Note: Following is the list of proposals that the Executive Council handed over to the ad huc committee on hall reorganization, The recommendations are only suggestions and will not necessarily go into effect. Joseph Wall (history), a member of the executive council. pointed out that the ad hoc Committee will carefully scrutinize the list of proposals and is under no obligation to adopt them. L The Setting Up of Freshman halls, We recommend that freshman halls be or- ganized on both North and South Campus. Each freshman hall would be under the su- pervision of an adult resident who would be a representative of the student dean. Juniors and seniors, selected by the college, would live in the freshman halls and act as Coun< selors; each iipperclasmen given that func- tion would be responsible for 8 to in students, and Wmlld be remunérated for his work. The uppei-class counselors, under the su- pel‘vision of the adult residents, would be i sponslble [or rule enforcement. One can selor in each hall would be selected by the student dean to act as pi‘esulent of the hall; this counselor would sit on the CofI-lP or the AWS Board. and would appomt other counselors to hall offices 2. Assignment to Uppei-class Halls Students would be assigned to uppei-class halls by the student deans at the end of the fieshman year. The student deans would en- deavor to honor requests at groups (oi ironi Z to 8 students each) who wish to enter the some upperclass hall, to the degree to which circumstances permit. 3. structure at Upperclass Halls. Tile Council suggests two possible alterna- tive plans, both of which have met with sup- port: Version A: The present hail system would coniiiuie, both on North and South Campus. Greater mobility would be encouraged, though not en- forced, on North Campus. Some provisions would be made to allow groups of from 2 to 3 upperclassmen who wish to join together in one hall to do so, subject to the approval or the student dean. The rollowing changes are recommended for North Campus hall government: The gov- erning committee of each hall would consist of a President and Vice President plus a number nf members named by the hall pi'esh (lent (in the manner of South Campus “Baf- fleboartl”). This committee would be re- sponsible for rule enforcement, and would meet regularly with the adult resident of the hall for Consultation and advice, Other oliicers may be elected by the ball (as for example a social chairman and ilitra< murals chairman), but would not form part of this committee. Adult head residents liv- ing in the ’halls would endeavor to make themselvesavatlable to advise the governing body of the hall and to give it needed sup- port. Version B: Room drawings would be held each year on North and South Campus. Students would thus rotate among the halls; hall presidents would be elected at: large on both campuses Other hall Officers would be named and elect< ed in accord with the procedures now preval- ent on South Campus Men's halls would be governed by com- mittees such as those described ln version A. Some provisions would be made to allow groups of students to join together and be placed in the same hall; these groups would not exceed 3 students each, and their place merit would be made subject to the availa- hility of accommodations and to the approval of the student deans. 4. Provisions for Certain Upperclass students. The Council hopes that some special pro- visions may be made for senior and junior students who wish to form interest groups. or have in mind worthwhile residence ar- rangements which ditier irom the present residence hall structure. Such provisions inigiit include housing of groups of men or groups of women in college houses (such as 1127 Park and the White House), the use of wings oi dormitories for interest groups, or the use of off-campus housing. it would be understood, or course. that any such plans would be subject to limitations based on the availability oi space and the need of using available space; they may also require the moving of some other students in order to ac- commodate interest groups. it is also hoped that the provisions allow- ing groups oi up to 3 students to enter the same hall (No 2) or to stay together (No. 313), will encourage the formation of interest "groups.” Any specific and rigid attempt to plan for “interest groups” seems unfeaSible at the present time, given the uncertainty as it) how much desire there exists for this kind of arrangement. This issue, however, should be given continued attention: it is hoped that moves in the direction of “interest groups" will lead to an improvement in the intellec— tual climate of the campus. 5 Student government We recommend that the functions of the student senate as presently defined in iesi» device liall government be taken over by the AWS Board and Coil-lP, sitting jointly. The AWS Board and the CofHP, sitting as committees and dispensing with the pres- eni trial procedure used in the pri ‘ courts, should take over the responslb of the present primary courts. ' The present Student High Court. the Facul- ty Committee on Student Affairs, and the Dean's Committee would function as at pres— ent. Some pmVlslon should be made for the automatic review by the Dean’s Committee of all cases handled by student Courts. Gl Other Matters Every effort should be made to provide increased study and recreational space in the residence halls. Adult head residents should be employed ior uppei-class halls; their role would be advisory rather than disciplinary, but they would make themselves available to hall presidents and committees and aid in rule enforcement when called upon. The role of faculty advisers to freshmen and sophomores needs to be studied and de- lined. in particular, more effort and stress needs to be placed on the advising of sopho— mores, who are all too often forgotten at the time at which they are making crucial der cisions. (Presence ot academically interested adult head residents in the halls may to some degree alleviate the problem.) throughout the - 5 Senate (Continued from Page 1) from other Milli-lest Confél‘ellce schools, (3) the ad hoc committee on the residence halls, and (A) the son coliee hour with campus organizations on Wednesday.

After assuming the chair, Bucks presented his ideas on ille opera- tion of the Senate. He said that previous Senates had railed to command the respect of the other campus groups — students, facul- ty and administration.
