Modern Circuit Riders Clergy on Wheels Attend Conference By RAMON A B. BOWDEN Let no one say the Methodist Church is not in step with modern times.

Ministers today are beginning to travel by motorcycle, a far cry from the old days of the circuit, rider who rode horseback through rain and snow over perilous trails to bring the word of God to the early settlers. In essence, the modern circuit rider is the same. The cyclist minister carries saddle bags and serves the needs of adjacent parishes, but his horse1 has wheels and sends an ear-splitting roar along the superhighway as he hastens to tie a marriage knot or bring consolation to a bereaved family. Yesterday two clergymen from this area took off in a cloud of gas fumes to attend the annual meeting of the Central New York Conference of lfK.iri ltage Kit.

This was the first meeting of the new 12-member committee for studying the more than 400 applications received so far.

Meetings since April had been concerned with the establishment of guidelines for the committee's conduct. The committee is replacing an original 10-member committee which was disbanded last fall amid objections of student and faculty representatives on the committee. Those committee members claimed there was no majority concensus on the names of presidential candidates presented to the board. Following this' criticism board chairman, Dr. Alexander C.

Carmi-chel, then acting recommended a new committee be formed to make a fresh beginning in the presidential search. Board member Mrs. Carolyn Hopkins was named chairman of the new search committee. Under her leadership the committee drew up guidelines, including the stipulation that six candidates, in no order of preference, and equally acceptable to the committee, will be presented to the board for study. To be acceptable seven of the nine possible votes must be affirmative.

From those six candidates the board will choose three a first choice and two alternates. The names will be sent to the office of State University of New York Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer for final Guidelines for the candi dates, as established by the committee, recommend that the person have a doctorate, five years of both administrative and teaching experience at the higher education level, and "understand that the college is physically and socially a part of the metropolitan complex and that the college must have cooperative relations with all groups and interests of which it is a part." The candidates should be able to represent the college effectively at all levels, and have a philosophy of democratic participation in decision making, according to the com- CARD ENDS COURSE Army National Guard 2nd Lt. kermon R. Card, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Mahlon H. Card of 3705 Kirk Road, Endwell, has just completed a nine-week infantry officer basic course at the Army Infantry School at Fort Benning, Ga. mittee guidelines. The committee retained Interim President Dr.

Roy A. Price as a consultant. The only time requirement imposed on the search committee concerns Dr. Price's age. Under State University regulations, he must retire at the end of the 1975 academic year, in June, 1976.

He was named interim president in August of last year, following the board decision not to renew the contracts of former administrators Drs. Marvin Rapp and Harvey Charles. The first advertisements for the position of the presidency were placed in The New York Times and the Chronicle of Higher Education June 3, and committee members expect at least 100 more applications Board representatives on the committee besides Mrs. Hopkins are Dr. Anthony Malfitano and Donald Mawhinney, recently elected vice chairman of the board.

They have three votes. Faculty representatives Richard Baggett, James Mosh-er and Carl Oney also have three votes. The student representatives, sharing one vote, are Ted Curran, Chris Geary and Laura Hawkins. Two administrators, David Beardsley and Paul Brown, share one vote, and alumni, Costello, Dean Thomas and Gary share one vote. SMi fll APPOINTED C.
