Minutes of the University Senate, October 13, 1969 (Cont'd.)

Professor Lewis served on the faculty of Georgetown College from
1935 to 1942, during which time he attained the rank of Associate
Professor. His academic career was interrupted by World War II.
From 1942 to 1945 he served his country as a Price Executive in the
Office of Price Administration. This assignment required full
utilization of his knowledge of law and economic analysis.

Upon completing his tour of governmental duty, Professor Lewis
turned to his beloved Georgetown College and chaired the Department of
Economics from 1946 to 1948. In 1948, he accepted an appointment to

the faculty of the University of Kentucky where he taught and served
faithfully until his untimely death.

During the 21 years of his association with the University, Professor
Lewis came in contact with a great number of students and colleagues. An
impressive list of successful lawyers and accountants received their
initial introduction to their fields of study in his courses. His

colleagues recall fondly his good humor and his willingness to contribute
his time to the affairs of the University.

At the time of his death, Professor Lewis was evaluating a number of
alternative revisions in his principal teaching assignment, Business Law,
a course required of all juniors in the College of Business and Economics.

His colleagues were anticipating a series of meaningful and fruitful
discussions with him this year.

Professor Lewis served two communities and two institutions of
higher learning. He contributed significantly.

His community, his
church, his family have lost a genuine person.

Dr. Carl Cone called attention to the lack of respect shown by the student
visitors who engaged in conversation during the presentation of the Resolution
and requested that this show of disrespect be noted in the minutes of the meeting.

Mr. Raymond Smith, Department of Theatre Arts, requested a waiver of the
agenda so that he might present a resolution. Objection was raised which required
a two—thirds majority vote. The Senate voted to set aside the agenda and to hear
the resolution. Mr. Smith then recommended adoption of the following resolution:

Resolved, that the University of Kentucky Faculty Senate acknowledges
the many Observances scheduled on campuses across the nation marking
October 15th as a day of concern for American Policy in Vietnam. The
Senate recognizes the University of Kentucky faculty participation in

this observance as being the optional prerogative of each faculty member
in keeping with traditional academic privilege.

Professor George Gunther of the School of Architecture read the following letter

from the School of Architecture of the University of Kentucky in support of
the resolution:

The Senate approved the addition of the following new Rule to be added as an
additional paragraph under "Changes in Courses” on page 17:

i

l

Registrar shall notify the Senate Council and the chairman of the I
department in which such course is listed in University publi— (
cations of his intention to remove the course from the official
University course file. If the department does not believe that
the course should be removed, the chairman shall so state in \
writing to the Senate Council and the Registrar within twenty— ,
one (21) days of the receipt of such notification, together with ,
the department's reasons for its recommendation. If the Senate
Council does not concur with the departmental recommendation, or
if no statement is furnished within the time provided, the
Registrar shall remove the course from the official University
course file and University publications.

ng
1 Dr. Plucknett recommended that the Senate recommend to the Board of Trustees,

Proposed Rules Changes

The University Senate Council, upon the recommendation
of the Rules Committee, circulates for action at the next meeting of
the University Senate the following proposed changes in the Rules of
the University Senate (An Interim Publication Revised and Updated
JULY 1969) as amended:

 

Page 17, Changes in Courses;

At the end of the provisions, add the following new paragraph
to be designated "i”:

i. If any course has not been given within a four-year
period —— in the classroom, by extension or through
correspondence -— the Registrar shall notify the

Senate Council and the chairman of the department in
which such course is listed in University publications
of his intention to remove the course from the official
University course file. If the department does not
believe that the course should be removed, the chair-
man shall so state in writing to the Senate Council and
the Registrar within twenty-one (21) days of the receipt
of such notification, together with the department's
reasons for its recommendation. If the Senate Council
does not concur with the departmental recommendation,
or if no statement is furnished within the time provided,
the Registrar shall remove the course from the official
University course file and University publications.

Discussion:
At the suggestion of the Council, the Rules Committee in—

vestigated procedures employed at other institutions to overcome
the problem of course proliferation and the tendency to retain courses

 

 University Senate l September 30, 1969

which are seldom, if ever, offered. It is believed that the new
provision will permit the Registrar to maintain the official

course file so that it reflects more accurately the courses actually
being offered in the University while providing safeguards to con-
cerned departments from arbitrary action in such instances.

Page 8, (IV. THE MARKING SYSTEM): Courses Taken on a
Pass-Fail Basis:

Undergraduate students above the freshman level

and not on academic probation may select a maxi—
mum of four elective courses, with certain
restrictions, to be taken on a pass-fail basis.

Credit hours successfully completed under this

option will count toward graduation but will not be
used in calculating grade-point standing. Courses
taken on a pass—fail basis shall be limited to those
considered as elective in the student's program

and such other courses or types of courses as might
be specifically approved by the Senate for a college
or department. Prerequisites for such courses may
be ignored at the student's own hazard. The student
is expected to participate fully in the course and take
all examinations as though he were enrolled on a
regular basis. Students may not change from a pass—
fail basis nor from a regular basis to a pass—fail
basis after the last date for entering an organized class.

CHANGE TO: (Insert new sentence after the first sentence so as
to read as follows):

Undergraduate students above the freshman level

and not on academic probation may select a maximum
of four elective courses, with certain restrictions, to
be taken on a pass—fail basis. Students in the Honors
Program above the freshman level may, with advance
written approval of the Director of the Honors Program,
select additional elective courses to be taken on such a
pass—fail basis. Credit hours successfully completed
under this option will count toward graduation but will

not be used in calculating grade-point standing.
Courses taken on a pass—fail basis shall be
limited to those considered as elective in the
student‘s program and such other courses or types
of courses as might be specifically approved by
the Senate for a college or department. Prereq-
uisite for such courses may be ignored at the
student's own hazard. The student is expected

to participate fully in the course and take all
examinations as though he were enrolled on a
regular basis. Students may not change from a
pass—fail basis nor from a regular basis to a pass—
fail basis after the last date for entering an
organized class.

Discussion:

At the request of the Senate Honors Program
Committee, the Rules Committee investigated a
proposal of the Student Advisory Committee of the
Honors Program to expand the "pass—fail option"
for students in the Honors Program. The Com—
mittee conducted hearings at which the chairman
of the Senate Honors Program Committee, the
Director of the Honors Programs and representative
students in the Honors Program appeared. The
Committee believes that the foregoing change in
the Rules, while not incorporating all of the
proposals advanced by the student committee, will
substantially achieve the benefits sought.

Page 5, (2. College of Pharmacy):

 

In addition to meeting the general requirements for
admission to the University, the applicant must

have achieved a grade point average of at least 2. 0

in at least 67 credit hours of acceptable college

work, including; two semesters of general chemistry,
including qualitative analysis; analytical chemistry;
two semesters of general physics with laboratory;

two semesters of English composition; general
botany; general zoology; college algebra; trigonometry;
and two semesters of humanities courses. The appli-
cant must demonstrate a minimum proficiency in
typing, offer entrance credits in typing, or be con-
currently registered in a typing course.

 

 University Senate ~ September 30, 1969

Proposed Rules Changes continued

 

CHANGE TO: (Reading as follows):

In addition to meeting the general requirements

for admission to the University, the applicant

must have achieved a grade point average of at
least 2. 0 in at least 66 credit hours of acceptable
college work, including: two semesters of

general chemistry, with laboratory, including
qualitative analysis; two semesters of organic
chemistry, with laboratory; two semesters of
general physics, with laboratory; two semesters

of English composition (or otherwise have met

the University English requirement); two semesters
of biology, with laboratory; one semester of micro-
biology, With laboratory; one semester of mathematics
(analytics and calculus); one semester of principles
of economics.

Discussion:

This Rule change is proposed in order to bring the
current Rules of the University Senate into line with
the action of the Senate Council of July 26, 1968.
