The A. R. I. A., whose pur-

Chair of Management. In August
Sterling received his second Gold
Medal, an award made annually
by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants,
having also won the award in

Senate hears conference reports
by RON MILLER
In one of its briskest sessions
of the year, SA Senate Monday
night completed several matters
in less than an hour.
External Affairs Vice-Presid-
ent Carl Treleaven reported on
five programs he had been keep-
ing tabs on. The first was the In-
dependent Colleges and Univer-
sities of Texas group's program
to organize a lobby in the Texas
legislature for renewed appropri-
ations for the Texas Equaliza-
tion Grants.
Next Treleaven reported on
his visit to a national student le-
gal aid conference in New York,
saying that he had learned sever-
al ideas the SA could use. He in-
formed the Senate that he ex-
pects to make a proposal soon
for the initiation of Rice's legal
aid program. He then related the
willingness of Information Ser-
vices to assist the SA in prepar-
ing a descriptive brochure on
Rice's college system.
President Steve Golvach made
several announcements of his
own, including the news that the
Senior Day committee, com-
prised of alumni and the Senate,
would meet soon. Treleavan
took the floor again and started
a short discussion on the admis-
sions liaison committee, which is
responsible for arranging tours
and accomodations for high
school students visiting campus
for a look at Rice. Senators felt
that there should be a meeting
of the college reps on that com-
mittee to redefine their roles.
There have been several instan-
ces of tour guides failing to show
up, and the senators wanted to
make certain that the committee
was functioning.
Gaylyn Cooper, of the Black
Students' Union, and Cecil Fong
of the Chinese Student Associa-
tion were confirmed as voting
members of the Minority Affairs
committee, which was organized
last week. The representative of
the Mexican-American students
will be that group's presedent
when he is selected.
