Meanwhile, in the wake of the controversial opinions of one professor, the debate on ensuring staff, student and administrator representation on one of those committees continues. No debate on Hugh Fleetwood's earlier comments, however, was heard on Monday night's senate floor. Fleetwood, of the philosophy department, last week advised senate members that students and staff should not have a voting voice on the committee that is to examine academic programs. The senate later voted in support of Fleetwood's comments. But Maurice Bryan, chairman of the Staff Employees Council, said the fight is not finished. Bryan said Assistant Coach Steve Kaiser, Safety Chuck Handy (26) and cornerback Bruce Carmich (25) exult as time expires. he will request at the Board of Trustees Thursday meeting that Western's highest governing body reconsider a proposal that would ensure student staff and ad Vikes snap long losing streak ministrator representation.
