Medical students have been talking with the Dean, Faculty, and administrative officers. "The issues affecting the School's a relationship to the new hospital complex and the relocation of the present tenants will not be buried in either SDS rhetoric or endless debate," one dean said.
Law School
Derek C. Bok, dean of the Law School, last night denied having speculated to Dean Ford on his faculty's possible stand on ROTC, as Ford wrote in the letter copied during the occupation of University Hall and printed in yesterday's CRIMSON.
The letter said expression of opinion on ROTC from the Faculty of Law might be valuable to the Administration but "might only make things worse unless Derek Bok were able to say with some certainly what his assembled colleagues would do--and the last time I talked to him, he just was not sure."
Bok said "I can state categorically that no one has ever asked me for my views on that."
The Faculty of Law will meet again today to discuss appointments and student participation. First-year student Robert D. O'Connell said last night he will present proposals favoring student participation at the beginning of the meeting, but he will then leave.
First-year student H. Neil Berkson said last night that students favoring grade reform had planned a one-day strike which was to have taken place Wednesday. But students who had joined the three-day strike to protest the use of police at University Hall now "want to get back to work," Berkson said.
The grade reform group is now considering plans to bank exams--deposit completed exams with a trust company until grade reform is effected. Members of that group had also asked to be admitted to the faculty meeting today, but had not received a reply late last night.
Berkson said the Law Faculty is trying to focus on events in the Yard although "there are parallels between decision-making at the Law School and the University decision-making process which resulted in the police action."
Design School
The Graduate School of Design Assembly--composed of the faculty and students of the school--will meet tonight at 8 p.m. to discuss issues and to take action on proposals developed at separate faculty and student meetings earlier in the day.
The GSD resolutions passed by the assembly yesterday are:
* The four housing expansion proposals that were attached to the teaching fellow resolution and approved by the Stadium meeting;
* A resolution to reorganize the GDS so as to represent and be directly answerable to the faculty and students of the school.
* A resolution to appoint a constitutional committee of faculty and students to draft a constitution embodying the principles of academic government and to present the constitution to the Corporation.
These proposals were passed by substantial majorities in the assembly but many of the faculty abstained. The faculty will take up these proposals at its 9:30 a.m. meeting this morning.
The students meeting seperately later in the day, will then act on the proposals accepted by the faculty.
