      Committee.  The Committee will be composed of five faculty
      members, of which at least two must be department chairmen.
      The Committee will be elected by the Senate from the entire
      faculty.  The Chancellor will name two appointees who may be
      administrators or additional faculty members.  

      There was discussion about the criteria for selection of the
      committee.  The Senate was asked to consider the diversity of
      interest to be represented and at the same time to consider  
      the qualifications of the individual nominees.  

      The procedure for voting was outlined as follows:  for five
      candidates as the vote are counted, if three candidates who 
      are not chairmaen are elected then only the vote cast for 
      chairmen will be counted.

      Discussion followed regarding the characteristics and 
      qualifications of a good committee.  It was stated that
      a person should represent a variety of groups on campus.
      The committee should consist of a diversity of people.
      They should share different viewpoints or different 
      philosophies.  They should be commited to the project of       
      developing UNC-A.  
  
      Nominations were accepted from the floor (reasons for
      nominating the person was also stated) with seconds.
      The Senate voted by secret ballot for five subject
      to the rule when someone achieved a majority vote they 
      were declared elected and the voting was continued.
      The two chairmen were elected first.

      Nominated were:
      A. Wengrove      P. Downes    M. Marshall   K. Whatley
      G. Henderson     D. Mullen    D. Miller     A. Coyne

      T. Hollingsworth G. Miller    J. Dorr       A. Comer

      (Several were nominated who had previously requested
      not to serve on the committee therefore their names
      were removed).

      Anthony Coyne asked for a motion to close the nominations.
      P. Sweeney moved this motion.  B. Larson seconded it.
      All were in favor, none opposed.
