"If they (the committee) sre

would still be forced to go through

professor of biology and the

Friday's senate meeting.
The senate first rejected the
survey during its Oct. 22 meeting.

the wording of the survey's
questions to be approved by
several professors. This, various
senators noted, would avoid
