On the desks today, you will find a letter to me from Chuck Seeley regarding admissions criteria and procedures over the past four years. Dr. Seeley has indicated that he would be glad to answer any questions that the faculty may have. We should recall that we have consent decree obligations,as well as regional obligations as we review his report. Connected with admissions, I note that the Student Recruitment and Retention Committee has sent to all faculty a memo regarding retention. All of us have a responsibility in this area, through advising and other avenues, and I compliment and thank the Committee for that memo. Please encourage your colleagues to discuss and consider that report as well. 8. We have had a few calls in the Senate office regarding smoking in class- rooms --specifically, that some instructers were smoking or/& permitting smoking to the chagrin of some students. We should be reminded that we have a policy of no smoking in the classrooms. Chancellor Howell has indicated that he would simply refer such complaints, should he receive them, to the unit head. Please honor this policy. 9. I remind the faculty that we have, and have had, the "University Commit- tees, 1984-85" publication at hand in all units. These were sent to unit heads several weeks ago. If you need access to any memberships, please ask your unit head. This booklet should be placed in an area accessible to all faculty. 10.
