By KENDALL COX
Optimist staff
The Faculty Senate voted Friday to
approve a change In its constitution.
Senate Chairman Dr. Bennett Hut-
chinson professor of chemistry said
one of the approved additions is . a
clause that allows faculty members to
elect their representatives by mail.
Because this change will allow more
faculty members to vote the senate
will represent a broader cross section
of the faculty he said.
Another clause was added giving of-
ficial representation to the Bible
department. '
Although the Bible department
received representation when they
became an independent college Hut-

Carnegie Recital Hall in New York Ci-
ty and Kennedy Center Terrace
Theater in Washington D.C will be
filled to capacity for the performances
of five faculty members of the music
department said Cheryl Mann assis-
tant to the president.
Alumni and friends of the university
in New York New Jersey Deleware
Connecticut Maryland Virginia Pen-
nsylvania and the District of Columbia
were contacted and offered com-
plimentary tickets said Mann.
The university was able to offer the
tickets free because the two perfor-
mances were underwritten by a friend
of the university who wishes to remain
anonymous said Mann.
The Recital Hall seats 283 and the
Terrace Theater seats about 500 she
said.
Replys to the invitations were re-
quested by last Saturday but a waiting
list had to be established Jan. 27
because of the number of responses
she said.
"We have been swamped with peo-
ple wanting tickets" said Mann. "We
receive a stack of cards every day."
People from as far away as Penn-
sylvania and West Virginia have con-
tacted the university about tickets and
"invitations weren't even sent to West
Virginia" said Mann.
Congressional delegates from Texas
have been invited to the Kennedy
Center performance by the university
and U.S. Rep. Charles Stenholm from
Stamford.
Three delegates have contacted the
university directly and accepted the in-
vitation said Mann. The number of
request.
Choosing the two most outstan-
ding applicants was "very dif-
ficult" said Hunter.
Hunter and Starnes spent Jan. 20
screening the applications choos-
ing them based on their outstan-
ding academic records and also
their leadership and contributions
in the local community at the state
and even the national level.
Hunter said he was especially
pleased a 4.0 GPA was not a re-
quirement for the Time honor but
other things such as leadership rcc-
comendations of community and
academic persons and achievement
in areas outside the applicant's ma-
jor were also considered.
Each judge was asked to chose a
judging partner from the corporate
world. Hunter said he chose
Starnes for his friendship and for
his position as a top corporate ex

chinion said the clause was added for
accuracy.
Other changes approved were just
minor alterations in the wording of the
constitution said Hutchinson.
Senate Chairman-elect Marianna
Rasco associate professor of home
economics said the process of chang-
ing the constitution is simitar to the
way the U.S. Constitution is changed.
The process that ended with the ar
proval of the alterations began last
semester she said.
A provision in the constitution says
that it should be reviewed every four
years and it was rewritten after being
reviewed last semester.
The rewritten constitution was ap-
proved by the senate Jan. 16 and was
then appoved by the entire faculty.
delegates who have contacted
Stenholm is unknown.
The five music faculty members
who "will be performing are: Charles
Nelson professor of music and direc-
tor of choral activities bass; Dr.
Marion Cawood professor of music
soprano; Dr. Ron Rathbun professor
of music piano; James David Brock
instructor of music piano; and John
Daniel instructor of music and direc-
tor of jazz ensembles trumpet.
"We are thrilled to death" said
Cawood. "We are grateful that the
alumni and friends of the university
wanted to see us and we hope to be
able to do this again."
She said "It was the Lord's will that
1 came to ACU or I never would of
'done this."
Rathbun said "We're really
delighted the administration has the
confidence in us to let us do this."
He said it was a "pleasant surprise"
to hear about the number of ticket re-
quests and said he was "looking for-
ward" to the event.
Very little time will be given to sight
seeing because of rehersals he said.
Nelson said "It is wonderful to be
able to sing in places where the great
performers perform and it is always a
pleasure to sing to a full house."
Daniel said he was excited about the
trip and the opportunity and "it
should be fun."
Brock said "It is always a thrill for
any performer to perform in those
halls."He said they were "all looking
forward to performing because of their
histories."
The fact that all the tickets are taken
"speaks very well for the effort ofthe
university because people want to see
what ACU is doing" said Brock.

ment company which operates all
over the country.
The 100 students selected as the
most outstanding will be listed in
an upcoming spring issue of Time
magazine. All 100 will also be of-
fered internships from the nation's
top professional and corporate
organizations said Hunter.
He said he doesn't know if any
ACU students applied for the Time
honor. In fact he said he isn't sure
the program was publicized at the
university.
Because he was a judge in the
contest Hunter said he didn't think
it would be proper for him to pro-
mote the program at ACU as that
might have been a conflict of
interest.
This is the . first year the
magazine has selected a list of
outstanding college students.
