Within an hour after election by the Graduate Student Council last night, five of the six graduate representatives to the Student-Faculty Advisory Committee had drafted a letter asking Dean Ford and the Faculty to consider students on probation eligible for election to the committee.
The three alternates elected by the GSC joined the five in saying that "the scope of the committee may be narrowed and the committee rendered less effective" if "those most concerned with the issues the committee is supposed to consider" are excluded. The representative who did not sign the letter could not be reached by the five when they were drafting it.
The 27-member GSC chose the representatives from about 30 nominees, some of whom had expressed an interest individually, and some of whom had been nominated by groups such as SDS and the Teaching Fellows Federation.
Broad Spectrum
Allen Parker, past president and a member of the GSC, said that Dean Ford's request that the representatives represent a broad spectrum of political viewpoints was important in the Council's choice. Assuring representation of the three major academic areas and finding "articulate, interested" representatives were also major criteria, Parker said.
The GSC chose Thomas A. O'Brien, 3G in Chemistry; George W. Ross, 4G in Government; J. C. von Helms, 3G in Classics; and Roger D. K. Thomas, 4G in Geology.
The Council also selected Michael H. Schwartz, 4G in Social Relations; Michael J. Weins, 3G in Engineering and Applied Physics; and Neil R. Krieger, 5G in Biochemistry, as alternates. Parker said that the alternates woulyd serve on the committee only if one of the six representatives could no longer belong.
