Senate votes to send I lett er t o Pitt enger In a letter addressed to Secretary of Education John Pittenger the Senate Tuesday I called for the consideration of the recommendations of the Wilder Report by the responsible parties. Attention was also called to the decisions of the Board of Trustees at the April 28 meeting which the Senate claims are in violation of provisions cont ained in the report. i Mike Siptroth , CGA President , makes a point at Monday's co uncil meeting . It was called for lack of ( Photo by Bob Oliv er) , a quorum afte r two representatives walked out. CGA meeting ends abru ptly; install ation s postponed ^^^ College Council ended abruptly on Monday when two of its members , John Andris and Bob Blair , left the meeting in protest of Council' s decision not to discuss The Wilder Report relea sed recentl y by the Board of Trustees . A quorum was no longer present as a resul t of their leaving prohibitin g College Council from conducting any business. Although no business was conduc t ed on t he floor due to lack of a quorum , Counc il did hear the Pennsylvania State Association of Studen t Governmen ts Report. Michael Siptroth prese nted the report on the PSASG Convention at which the Board of Presiden t' s passed a resolution which stated tha t they are opposed to increased tuition fees. Council approved the resolution and also a motion made by Bob Blair recommending th at all special fees for students be abolished. A report of Coun cil' s actions will be sent out to Governor Shapp and State Senators and Legislators. Council discussed the Bill of Rights Committee of the State Convention 's report concerning entry and search interim suspension and freedom of speech and communication. M embers ins t ruc t ed Sip troth to inform the PSASG to insert the word s "according to the United States Constitution " in the Bill of Rights Statement. Mi chael Sipt ro t h announced the Committee composed of three s t uden t s , three faculty , and three Board of Truste e members will be formed to select the next college President. Written nominations must be pr esented to the CGA Executiv e Committee before May 10. Nominees must be full-time students (not May Graduates ) and available during the summer. The represen tati ves w ill be elected by t he student body May 15 and 16. A special meeting of CGA will be held Monday, May 8 in Kuster at 8:00 to discuss the CGA budget. The last College Counc il meeting of the year will be held Monday, Ma y 15 at 7:00 p.m. in Kuster. The remainder of the May 1 agenda w ill be discusse d at that time. The full text of the letter which will also be sent to the local Board of Trus tees and the State College afld Universit y Directions (SCUD) is as follows: The Senate of Bloomsbu rg State College wishes to express their appreciation to the Board of Trustees of Bloomsburg State College for releasing the WilderHeyn-Worrilow Report. While we note with disap pointment that a majority of the Board was unwilling to accept the report in full, we extend our thanks to the members of the committee for their efforts to resolve the curren t controve rsies on campus . We call upon responsible parties to consider the recommendations of the report. We also call attention to decisions of the Board at the April 28 meeting which were in clear and direc t v iolat ion of p rov is i ons conta i ned in t he report , and which indicate the inten tion of the Board to persist in courses of act ion that prov ided the basis for the report' s "Fin- dings and Recommendations " concerning the Board. We are distressed particularl y by the Board' s intercession in (a) grievance cases , (b) faculty appointments , and (c) employment status of faculty members. It is our belief that some actions taken by the Board have not helped to reduce the tension s at the college, but , on the contrary, have served to aggravate them. ' This raises the question of confidence in the Board. Therefore , we strongly urge that appropriate officials and professional organizat ions review the role assumed by the Bloomsburg State College Board of Trustees in terms of the role of college trustees as defined by law , regulation , and accepted professional criteria , and seek compliance of the Board where discre pancies are found to exist. On a motion by Mike Siptroth , CGA president , the Senate agreed to reconsider the Teacher Education Req uirements passed by them at their last meeting . Siptroth opposed the plan on the groun ds that (1) there was a general lack of definiti on as to the cr i ter ia to be used t o evalua te candidates for t he program , (2) no appeal sys tem, (3) and th at the main requirement for admiss ion to the teacher education p ro gram was a certa i n cumula ti ve average.

However, according to the Pilot , "Article 7 section 1: It shall be the duty and the responsibility of the Council to. . .ref er matters which aff ect the entire College Community to the Association for consideration .'7 So it would seem that at least in theory, CGA does have more man budgetary powers . Why then does Council , when they get a chance to discuss something of importanc e to the entire college community , vote not to? At Monday night 's meeting , John Andris and Bob Blair attempted to move the meeting into informa l debate of the Wilder Investigation Report . They were asking the council members to neither accept nor reject the report , just discuss it . When their motion was def eated , Andris and Blair lef t the meeting arnid cries of "Irresponsible... " But was it they who were irresponsible ? Their motion was an important one, involving an issue which affects the entire college. If they ' re irresponsible , what about the eight members who didn 't bother to show up? Or what about certain Counc il Members who voted not to hear or discuss the re port because they don 't agree with what it says? Council is supposed to be a representat ive body , but it seems as if the members can 't keep their personal views from entering into the picture. No matter what the member feels personally, his actions Women of the tribe of student were released from bondage — ever y Friday and Saturday night. An old order , called curriculum , was inf used with new, life-giving blood. But there were rum ors of coming pestilence in the land , should be in the best interests of the students who elected him. The report should have been discussed by CGA , if only because it concerns all of the college community . Before the CGA representatives call the two members who lef t the meeting 'irres ponsible ' , they should look at themse lves. They must decide whether they want to use the powers granted to them when they were elected , or if they wish to remain just a 'budge t committee.
