Tuesday's action sent the bill back to
the Faculty Senate for reconsideration at
its December meeting.
If it passes that body, it will return to
the Faculty Assembly in January.
174 of the 550 members of the all-faculty
group voted on the bill after nearly two
hours of debate.
A reporter from The Louisville Cardi­nal
was barred from the proceedings.
President Woodrow Strickler said that
the bill is definitely not dead. "When you
make a fundamental change in policy,
you're darn lucky to get it through the
first time."
Objection to the bill, according to sev­eral
reports from the faculty, came pri-marily
from members of scientific and
technical schools and departments. They

state that:
,_, UL will not accept classified contracts
except in national emergency or need;
,_, no program may have as its direct
purpose, the destruction of human life;
,_, research grants should be subject to

A refuge for the campus security police
is being completed just in time for the cold
weather which came to Louisville this past
week.
Assembly unanimously passed the con­troversial
appendix to the Organization of
the University of Louiisville for the Med­ical
School.
The appendix (called the Med School
bi-laws) provide for a complete restruc­turing
of the school, giving full voting
power to all full-time faculty members.
The by-laws were drafted by members
of the Medical School faculty and admin­istration
last May folllowing a series of
resignations and pubUc controversy over
the school's power structure.

New student rights bill sent to faculty
The Arts and Sciences Student Council
has aproved a new statement of the rights
and freedoms of students.
The bill, which is a composite! of a text
endorsed by several national college ad­ministrative
groups, and an alternative
bill presented by the ~tudents for Social
Action, has been presented to the Plans
and Policies committee of the College of
Arts and Sciences.
The Student Council felt that the origi­nal
bill was too general, and desired a
document "for and by the students of UL."
They also felt that the SSA document was
not specific enough in defining the limits
of student freedom. "This (the new) bill
contains the strong points of each of the
others," said Homer Parrent, SC presi­dent.

The University of Louisville will take
on a Dogpatch atmosphere Friday, Nov.
22, when the annual Sadie Hawkins race
and dance take place.
Every male is fair game for any gir 1
on campus (lavaliers, pins, and rings don't
count), and once tagged, a boy must go
to the evening dance with his captor.
Girls may tag their prey on c~unpus and
in the dorm lounges and the first floor of
fraternity houses, between 8 a.m. and 4
p.m. However, they may not tag boys in
the Library, the Dean's Office, in classes,
or during the race.
Tags will be on sale for $2 in front of
the SUB next week.
Dress for Friday is sweatshirt and jeans.
The race will take place_ at noon in the
Quadrangle. Trophies will be awarded to
the swiftest gir 1 and guy (the first to
capture and the last to be captured). Any

mittee of seven students, differs from the
original national document in that it is
more specific and unequivocal in deli­neating
student rights and freedoms. It
also eliminates segments of the original
text which the drafting committee con­sidered
"excess verbiage."
A number of additional provisions have
been added. Such delineations include
provisions for student participation in
some academic and administrative func­tions
as well as for student control of ex­clusively
student affairs.
Richard Barber, Dean of A&S, said that
he considers the modified document .,a
good piece of work, very sensible and in­dicative
of a good deal of careful thought."
However, he noted that the administra­tion
has been cognizant of this issue since
it became a national matter, and would
probably want "to consider and compare"
the two different drafts of the statement.
He feels that such consideration will
help the faculty and administration to
understand the ideals and goals of the
UL students.
"I think it is logical to assume that a
statement with a national basis would be
less likely to encounter faculty and ad­ministration
disapproval," he said, "but
I'm sure the resulting careful scrutiny
will have beneficial results."
The A&S Plans and Policies Committee
will consider the text of the document,
and will send it to the A&S faculty with
suggestions. It will recommend either
adoption or rejection of the bill, or will
decline any recommendation. If the fac­ulty
approves it, the statement will be­come
A&S policy.
Before it can become university policy,
however, the document must be approved
by the University Senate, which is com­posed
of about 40 elec1~ed members and 17
ex-officio members from the various de­partments
of the univE~rsity.
The drafting committee which drew up
the compromise version was composed of
seven members. Two of these--Tom Eu­bank
of the Cardinal and Bill Croley of
SSA-were not studeJjlt council members.
Homer Parrent, who appointed the com­mittee,
said that he :felt it desirable to
have interested, competent non-council
members on the comrntittee to present ad­ditional
views on the· subject.
Parrent said that he considers the pas­sage
of a definitive statement of rights to
be a necessity in view of the proposed
merger with University of Kentucky.
Both Parrent and Croley have been
asked to take part in 1ihe discussion of the
bill at the Plans and Policies Committee
meeting.
