Further, that in preparing such a report, we will also assess the suhhiciency oh our programme and ih we j$-ind we are not doing enough, we will commit ourselves to a more comprehensive programme. Further, that this motion embodies the principle that the university has a positive relationship to the community, and, as an example oh such, some portion oh its resources and talent be committed to the solution oh this social problem oh pollution. In the ensuing discussion it was generally agreed that the problem of pollution was a very serious one, that the University should play a role in efforts to preserve the environment and that information concerning the University's role should be available to the public. In amendment: Dr. Finn ) That Senate, recognising the significant Dr. Brockley ) role oh the University in helping to ^u££t.t the needs oh the community, release a report on what the University is currently doing to solve the problem oh pollution oh the environment and on what its programme is hoi continued research and teaching in this area oh national concern. Some members, in opposing the motion, expressed concern on the automatic assumption of some members of Senate that the University was a servant of the community.

Carried The motion as amended was carried. Mr. Ladner ) That Senate request the Ohiice oh Mr. Persky ) Academic Planning (or other appropriate agency) to determine, by departments, what percentage oh U.B.Cs Faculty members are Canadian citizens. Mr. Ladner said he believed that the Canadian heritage was in danger because of the large number of non-Canadians on the teaching staffs of Canadian universities. In discussion of this motion it was argued that although there was undoubtedly a lack of Canadian content in the curriculum of many Canadian universities, the remedy lay in curriculum revision rather than in attempting to increase the ratio of Canadian teachers to those who were not Canadian citizens. It was also argued that the assumption that Canadian citizenship was an essential condition for the preservation of Canadian culture was questionable. After further discussion the motion was defeated. Report of the Librarian 1968-69 Dr. Willmott ) That the report oh the Librarian Dr. McGregor ) be Aeceived. Carried The Chairman suggested that any questions on the report could be raised at the next regular Senate meeting. 5182. Wednesday, January 14, 1970.

That Senate strike a committee to prepare a plan whereby courses in contemporary affairs may be offered upon short notice. The Chairman stated that when notice of a motion is given, Senate's Agenda Committee would have to decide upon the disposition of the motion, since the Committee was charged with the responsibility of scheduling Senate business effectively and of determining priorities as among proposals before Senate. Dr. Hardwick gave notice of the following motion: "That Senate recommend to the Board of Governors an increased allocation of funds to the Office of Academic Planning in order to determine firm data on the needs of the province for academically trained individuals."
