Chairman Canon made the following announcements: ,

"First, I want to remind you of the Rally for
Higher Education at the Civic Center Auditorium in
Frankfort this Wednesday. You have probably gotten
several notices so I will not reiterate the details.

for our regular February meeting. We have a number
of agenda items for the February meeting that need to
be considered.

We have only one item on the agenda today, the
revision of the General Studies Curriculum, which is
proposed by the Swift Committee that has worked three
years on this revision. I fervently hope that we can
finish this today, and I suspect all of you feel the
same way. We disposed of about half of the amend-
ments at the December meeting, and I hope we can
finish the other half today. I want to apologize
that all of the amendments are not in one package.

If you have the circulations of November 4, November
25, and January 3 you should have everything you need
to follow what is going on at the meeting.

 

The same rules that governed the December meet-
