The Commission on the Role of
Students in Decision Making is ex-
pected to recommend in its final
report to the Regents the estab-
lishment of a Committee on Com-
munications to deal with campus
controversies. ..
Chairman of the comnmission'
Prof. Ims Claude of the depart-
ment of political science, said the
committee "will serve as a de-
vice for getting issues sensibly dis-
cussed and to open channels of
communication."
The proposal is expected to be
formally adopted by the commnis-
sion at its meeting next week.
According to the draft proposal,
the committee would arrange
meetings between University of fi-
cials and "persons expressing
grievances or criticism" when a
campus controversy arises.
The committee would be comn-
posed of two students, two faculty
members and chaired by one ad-
ministrator. F a c u I t y Assembly
would nominate two students sug-
gested by Student Government
Council. SGC would nominate two
faculty members suggested by
