~proposes parity
for ad board
By JIM McFERSON
The LSA Student Assembly last night urged broad initia-
tives toward increased student representation on the literary
college administrative board.
Passed by a nearly unanimous vote, an Assembly pro-
posal calls for:
 -The addition of six voting students to the administra-
tive board. The board is presently composed of six faculty,
members;
--Termination of faculty disciplinary hearing boards in'
non-academic matters and substitution of all-student boards;
-Creation of half - faculty, half - student disciplinary
shearing boards to decide all
" a e academic dishonesty cases.

Daily News Analysis
As controversy continues to grow over
the proposed Office of Student Services,
policy board, another disagreement has
arisen over student participation in Uni-
versity affairs.
That issue is rejection by the Senate

to the rejection decision and the reason-
ing behind it in his minority report. He
maintained that the committee had not
been able to arrive at a definition of
"faculty committees" and thus had no
basis for its stand from that angle.
Beyond that, the minority report ques-
tioned the proper role of the academic
affairs committee. "If faculty committees
