Announcements:  There will be a special session, open to all

Center with the representatives of Enwright and Associates, who are
doing the Master Plan.  They will meet with the UPC at that time to
present their preliminary recommendations.  All faculty are
cordially invited to attend. 

Dr. Coyne set forth the following guidelines recommended by Dr.
Brown for the selection of the Vice-Chancelor Search 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.  Two students, selected by the Student Government, will
also serve on the Committee. 

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 designed to insure the election of two department chairmen.

The floor was opened for nominations.  The following faculty members
were presented for consideration:  Dr. Ruiz, Dr. Patch, Dr.
Friedenberg, Dr. Wengrow, Dr. Comer, Dr. Coyne, Dr. Perry
(declined), Dr. Kormanik, Dr. Browning (declined), Dr. Seitz
(declined), Dr. Downes, Dr. Larson, Dr. Sabo (declined), Dr.
Hollingsworth, Ms. James, Dr. Sulock. 

Dr. Coyne called for a motion that nominations be closed.  The
motion was made by Dr. Combs, seconded and passed unanimously.


Ballots were distributed and the vote was taken.  The following five 
candidates were elected on the first ballot:
