The Senate Nominating Committee for Honorary Degrees meets from time to time to discuss nominations for the seven special honorary degrees and the Doctor of Laws (LLD). It then recommends to Senate that the names of those individuals whom it feels are qualified to be approved for inclusion in the pool of candidates. At the moment the pool is so shallow it is in danger of running dry. Nominations are urgently needed. Attached is a copy of the criteria used by the committee. If you require further information, please contact the Secretary of the Committee, Dianne Scheifele, Secretariat, ext. 3183.The Hagey Lectures are the premier lectures at the University of Waterloo.

Says Russell: "We have a relatively low incidence of theft and vandalism compared to other Ontario universities. Items are often 'borrowed' without being booked . . . these items are eventually returned, but this 'borrowing' inconveniences our regular clients who expect equipment to be available."
But this time it was definitely theft. Gone is Panasonic VCR, model PV 4564, serial number I5SA40210. "If you have any information," Russell asks, please call the UW police at ext. 3211 or audio-visual at ext. 4001.
