Members absent were: Bredderman, Hughes, O'Brien, Pories, Yeager, McAllister and ex officio Howell and Laupus. Alternates present were: Vereen for Thomas, Bellis for Allen, Denny for McGee. Agenda Item 2: The minutes of December 7, 1982, were approved as written. Agenda Item 3A: The Chairman made the following announcements: 1. Fioor r privileges were extended to Eugene Ryan, Lt. Col. Chip Wanner, and Robert Woodside. Tellers for the elections held during this meeting were Tom Johnson, Carson Bays, Marilyn Stephenson, and Nancy Mayberry. In the absence of objections, Agenda Item 3B was considered first. During tallying of votes, the remainder of the agenda was considered. Chancellor Howell has approved the following resolutions passed by the Senate: 82-65, 66, 69, 70, 74, 75, 76, 78, 80, 81, 83, 84, and 85. A copy of the letter of transmittal sent to President Friday with Resolution 82-66 concerning service of faculty in the General Assembly has been received. With regard to the vote on the effectiveness of the unit administra- tor conducted in the units in conjunction with the approval of the evaluation report, the chair reminded Senators that the results of that vote should be treated with the confidentiality accorded any other information relative to personnel action. Senators were asked to express to their colleagues the importance of this when their unit meets to approve the evaluation report. Questions have been raised concerning the problems encountered in ordering materials. Linda Ingalls in the Office of the Vice Chancel- lor for Academic Affairs has informed the chair that purchase requi- sitions for all items subject to the freeze on state appropriated funds except bona fide emergency items are being returned. Only items directly affecting the instructional program are being ordered and only in quantities which appear to represent short time span needs. Contractural agreements incurred prior to the freeze are being honored as are student wages (which are construed to be contractural in nature). Research and Teaching Grants awarded by Academic Affairs are not considered essential to the instructional program and requi- sitions to expend those funds are not being honored. All grant recipients will be notified by Academic Affairs as soon as the University can begin to process purchase requests for the expenditure of grant funds. (Please note: This policy affects only the expendi- ture of state appropriated funds.) It is hoped that this is only a temporary situation. In keeping with the austerity imposed on all units concerning the consumption of supplies, the Faculty Senate Office will begin a strict conservation effort. We will send one copy of the agenda and minutes to senators and one copy to each unit with instructions to rc circulate or post that copy. We will also send only one copy of the minutes of the University Curriculum Committee to senators and one ee copy to each unit (and to members of the Committee, of course). We will, however, continue to send a copy of the University Curriculum Committee agenda to all faculty so that they can keep informed con- cerning proposed curriculum changes and new course proposals. We would ask that should you desire a copy of these minutes that you obtain them through your unit office. 8. A committee has been appointed to study the professional education com- ponent of the secondary education program with Hugh Wease as chair. This committee is on a very tight time schedule since it is hoped the recommendations can be submitted to the appropriate committees (Teacher Education, University Curriculum, and Faculty Senate) this year. 9. Larry Means has been appointed to replace Ed Leahy on the University Research Committee. 10.The Search Committee for the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs has been announced.

The purpose of the new program is to develop second lieutenants for active service, for the Reserve, and for the National Guard. The program should contribute to the attractiveness of ECU. Also, funds will be provided by the Army for scholarships and other items. This year NCSU has received about $450,000 for their program. At this time there are two scholarships available for next year--one in nursing and one open. The Army ROTC will be located on third floor of Erwin Hall. Agenda Item 4; There was no unfinished business. Agenda Item 5A: Professor Grossnickle presented recommendations of the University Curriculum Committee. The Chair ruled that the Change in Teaching Degrees be separated. The BA, BS, BA/BS minor in Political Science, the BA/BS minor in Public Administration and the BA in Drama and Speech were approved. It was explained that the teaching degree requirement was a temporary move until the ad hoc committee mentioned in the announcements could make permanent recommendations. Volpe stated that ECU was responding to the SDPI on January 29 and wanted to be able to say the changes are in the curriculum now. The recommendation was approved. Also, all courses on the University Curriculum Committee minutes of January 13, 1983, were approved.

Agenda Item 5D: Professor Tom Johnson presented the report of the Committee on Educational Policies and Planning. He commented on the procedures being followed concerning academic misconduct. He stated that the committee ,in consultation with the appropriate Vice Chancellors, plans to develop and bring to the Senate a proposal addressing the problem. Agenda Item 5E: Professor Sandra Wurth-Hough presented the resolution of the Faculty Welfare Committee concerning merit monies and the salary freeze (see agenda for January 25).

Professor Haggard moved that, "In accordance with the provisions of the Faculty Senate Constitution, the Senate requests that a meeting of the General Faculty be held before elections for the Faculty Senate for the purpose of approving the constitutional amendments .adopted by the Faculty Senate at their meeting December 7, 1982." Rosenfeld seconded. Haggard pointed out that this would allow temporary people to vote for Faculty Senators for next year. The motion failed. On a show of hands, there were 15 votes for and 21 against. The meeting adjourned at 3:15 p.m. S. Daugherty Secretary of the Faculty
