Precedent set hy first meeting
Student Senate hosts Trustees
by ANNE CON KJN
The Student Scnat~ ht.:!ld a get-together
meeting with the Board of Trustees on
Tuesday night , Nov . 14. This meeting set
a precedent in this way and provided
general information about the Trustees
for the Student Senate. Representing the
Tru tees Wt!rc Mr. Edwm G. Middleton,
Chairman of the Board of Trustees for
two years, Dr.Ficlding Rubel, Chairman
of the Development Com mittce , and Mr.
Kendall, Chairman of the Finance
Committee. The latter two committees
arc suborganizations of the Trustees.
Middleton describes Board
Mr. Middleton began the meeting by
praising the mcm bers of the Student
Senate for their voluntary concern for
university affairs. Mr. Middleton
remarked that student committees are
"vital to the function of the university."
After opening with comments of praise,
Mr. Middleton introduced the trustt!es,
outlining its make-up, responsibilities,
and functions . The Board of Trustees has
a 12-member body; 10 members
appointed by the governor with a
four-year term, one faculty
representative, and one student
representative. Mr. Middleton outlined
the responsibilities of the trustees into
four basic areas providing no
interference with the daily procedure of
the University (especially where
admissions arc concerned), appointing the
President of the University, outlining the
academic programs which bring the
public and the University together and
providing the money used by the
University.
Development committee plans
long range success
Or. Ruell followed Mr. Middleton, by
introducing the development committee
as the long-range planning arm of the
Board of Trustees. By long-range planning
rather than "fighting to plug leaks up all
the time," explains Dr. Ruble, the
trustees are able to guide the University
in a successful direction .
Mr. Kendall, as finance committee
cha_irman, described his purposes;
basically the finance committee supplies
funds through grants and endowments,
and budgets these funds.

UL ~rustee Fteld ~uell (left) explams th~ 'clo~ door meeting policy' at the Student Senate
meetmg Tuesday mght. Answermg quest1ons w1th him were Trustees Edwin Middleton and
William Kendall.
The board, having been introduced,
was qestioned on a number of subjects
ranging from future campus development
(the committee is making lonP-range
plans for future development.), to who·
has more influence on the board's
decisions - students or administrators?
The committee replied that it is always
the issue which produces the decision,
not members of the committee. The one
question introduced which caused the
most response was that of open board
meetings. The present stand taken by the
trustees was reported by Mr. Middleton,
"The last action of the board was to
continue the practice of holding board
meetings in private." Mr. Middleton
expressed his personal feeling that open
meetings would force members into
secrecy, as the opinions of many
members being considered "silly" would
not be revealed for fear of unjust
oublicity.
Middleton states attendance policy
Mr. Middleton also brought out and
corrected two misconceptions adopted by
the public. It was believed that the
deciSions reached by the board were not
public, and that the meetings were held in
secret. The decisions are publically
announced and anyone wiili an
appropriate matter for discussion is
heartily invited by the board to attend
their meetings .
