     alternate date.

     consideration regarding this year's allocation of LAUC-B travel funds.
     
     III. Discussion
          In Executive Session, the Executive Committee discussed a wide 
     range of issues, including the LAUC-B membership's interaction with 
     the Librarian's Office, the proposal for changes in the Physical 
     Sciences Libraries, the appropriate response to changes in the nature 
     of the profession, and possible speakers to help LAUC-B members 
     formulate their response in a group setting.
     
     
     The next LAUC-B Executive Council meeting will be Wednesday, 5 
     February 1997, from 9:00 to 11:00 AM, 119 Moses Hall.
