...addition to late faculty appointments, Bowersock attributes CUE's painfully slow start to difficulty in finding a time when all ten members can attend. But judging from past performance, even when Bowersock does find a time when all ten members can meet, less than half the faculty members are likely to put in an appearance...
James Henderson '80, a student CUE member this year and last, recalls last year "some faculty members rarely ever showed." Often Bowersock was the only faculty representative present. Willa Brown '81, a CUE member last year, says she can't remember "a time when all five faculty members have been there...

With Bowersock's permission, a CUE student member may present his case to the Faculty Council, but he must leave before the Council begins debate...

...misguided. The Faculty Council's resounding rejection last May of the CUE study abroad plan, which CUE students assumed CUE faculty members supported, is the most glaring example.

Bowersock says he believed all CUE faculty members backed the students and was "surprised" when all but one rejected study abroad. Cromption says he missed that Council meeting and did not get around to voting...
