Committee of the Whole. This
change was designed to make
sure that the committees are
accomplishing their duties. By
submitting written reports in-
stead of the oral ones previously
made, the committees must
prove their effectiveness, and it
will be easier for the Executive
Committee to press negligent
chairmen into action.
Changes in the duties and
requirements for some members
of the Executive Committee
complete the major revisions.
The Vice-President is now re-
quired to compile a calendar of
Program Council and College
events with the help of the Com-
munications Chairman, and
assure the publication and distri-
bution of the calendar at the
beginning of each semester.
The Secretary-Treasurer's
surety bond has been increased
to $12,000. Accounting 301 or
the equivalent had been made a
prerequisite. The revisions also
require that he reevaluate the
budget at the beginning of each
semester, and redistribute funds
among the various committees
(with Senate approval). Pre-
viously, the budget could not be
redistributed after it was ap-
proved. This change will insure
that committees which are doing
the most for the students will
not run short of money, and
those committees which are not
using the iponey allotted them

The selection of these stu-
dents is based on academic
excellence. According to Hayes,
the students chosen are those
who "best exemplify the pursuit
of high academic standards in a
liberal education." This does not
mean that the society looks only
at a student's grades. In addi-
tion, the student is judged on
the breadth of their education.
Thus, it is in a student's favor to
have demonstrated excellence in
areas outside the scope of his
field, as well. The ideal candid-
ate has taken a varied curricu-
lum, showing ability in a number
of disciplines.
The process leading to the
choosing of new members
involves careful study and rating
of individuals. The first selec-
tions are made by the local chap-
ter's Senate which gathers infor-
mation from various sources
(chapter members, department
chairmen, and the registrar) to
identify prospective members.
This is the initial selection and
generally results in a list of can-
didates about three times the
number of which can be
inducted. Next, the PBK Senate
asks people familiar with the
candidates to provide additional
information on their academic
performance. Hayes says that
this information comes mainly
from the department chairmen.
The final selection of members
based on this information is
Senate. .

Kate Wheeler objected to the
questioning, and the Senate
voted to table permanent ap-
proval until the next meeting.
However, they did vote to ap-
prove the nominees as acting
chairmen so that the RPC could

Hale then suggested that col-
lege senators be divided into two
large committees to work on
long-range projects. One com-
mittee would study student
liaison with the board of gover-
nors, and the second would
make plans for a convocation at
the University's 65th anniversary
in 1977. The convocation would
study the direction of the
University and suggest some long
range goals for Rice.
The new Senate formally
