Dear Bill:
In response to a mood at the No ember Faculty Senate Conference and
after visiting with Bylaws Cornm ttee Chairman, MaT), Kelsey, I plan to
present the following motion at our February 1st Faculty Senate meeting.
Whereas, parlimentary procedure
on a motion to a specific time
provides for postponement
nd is debatable; and
of action
Whereas, parlimentary procedure provides for laying a motion on the
table until removal from the ta Ie for action and is not debatable; and
Whereas, both of the above proc dures require a majority
the wish of the debating body, nd
vote to reflect
Whereas, the Faculty Senate Byl ws provide unpredecented Senate control
to the individual by the use of a non-debatable r'eques t for postponement
until the next regular Senate meting;
I move that Article X: Motions and Voting, Section 1, paragraph 2 be
amended by deleting everything
fter the words "Other main motions shall
be in order" as follows:
Other main motions shall be in
