forces began their review many of those students further said that by holding the task force discussions during the summer student participa tion was probably hampered kuss said student participation in the other task force which was responsible for drawing up a wide range of cultural and social activities was generally much greater kuss added that although the adminis trators were sincere in wanting our suggestions he was pessimistic as to whether the suggestions would ever be implemented kuss major criticism however was of the administration's decision to hold the task force meetings during the summer in order to have the new social policies ready for the beginning of this semester kuss said that the two or three months taken by the task forces to discuss and prepare their reports was not enough time to do an effective job and that had the task forces met during the current see student page 12 the task forces were established to define new behavioral and disciplinary codes for individuals and living groups as well as create new social and cultural programs according to joe kuss 82 the effec tiveness of student participation and contributions depended largely upon what task force he or she was involved with kuss who served on two task forces administration of discipline and alter native social programs said his partici pation in the former was limited because of the legalistic nature of the discussions a lot of it went right over my head kuss said he added that he felt that much of the task force work which con sisted mainly of rewriting and rewording the previous discipline code seemed to have been already laid out by the admin istrators of the task force ib&w pholo by stephen krlssi faculty members assembled at monday's faculty meeting voted against
