POLITICAL SCIENCE The Political Science Department contains four professors dedicated to the study of Rule. And, as rule and power are related, each of the professors is involved with power in all of its aspects. Dr. Rainey is currently examining the political power structure of Asheville from the Elitist point of view. Dr. Far- zanegan is devoting much of his spare time and every sunny day to the problem of power in his golf swing. Also ex- ercising at every given moment. Dr. Stein is concerned with the correlations between the amount of time spent at Ceasar ' s and the power of his elbow.

The UNC-A Faculty Senate, designed as the deliberative and representative body of the Faculty, meets as a body once a month on a regular basis, with additional meetings as required. Aside from meetings of the entire body, the four subcommittees — The Executive Committee, the Academic Policies Committee, the Institutional Devel- opment Committee, and the Welfare Com- mittee — meet with more frequency. Of the subcommittees. Dr. Shirley Browning (Chairman of F.S.) has labeled the Academic Policies Committee the most powerful , as it is a source for determining program development, and course additions and deletions. In commenting on the effective- ness of the Senate as a whole. Dr. Browning stated that it is really too early to tell. For, while there has been a Faculty Senate in years past, this — the ' 75- ' 76 academic year — is the Senate ' s . . first year in this form. Dr. Browning does feel if the people involved ... take their work seriously . , the Senate will be effective. But it will take at least three or four years to prove the value — or lack thereof — of the body ' s current organizational form. 17
