Lying next to the puppies was a tiny baby girl partially wrapped in a plastic bag. Her dog found the abandoned girl in a forest, and dragged it through a barbed wire fence and over a main road to her spot next to the puppies. The baby girl, named Angel by the nurses who cared for herv was malnourished, said Peter Ndungu, director of the Happy Life Children's Home in Kenya. But she survived and was adopted. It is two years after Angel's rescue and her story of abandonment is not unique, Ndungu said. Western's World Injustice Awareness Club (WIAC) is bringing Ndungu to Western for a lecture at 6 p.m. Oct. 17 in Science ; Lecture Building room 150. He will talk about his efforts to find homes for the abandoned children of Kenya. "I'm an ambassador for this cause," Ndungu said. "They have no voice so I'm a voice for them. I'm here to say that while we may all live in different countries, we all belong to the same world."

"The idea is that they should be delivering qualified candidates to you for your decision." The 1993 committee had 15 members, including two student representatives, said Liz Sipes, secretary to the Board of Trustees. Cole said he recommended this search committee, be smaller. "It's important that we have broad participation in describing what is being sought in the new president," he said. "But the actual mechanics should be a smaller group so things can be more efficient:" Beyond finding a new president, the search committee's purpose is to keep students informed, engage those on campus interested in the search and find a search consultant to act as an outside source of opinion, Cocke said. "Any search committee is going to be time consuming, but it is worth it," said Kayla Britt, Western junior and vice president for diversity on the AS Board of Directors. The trustees should be patient in their search because the best candidate for the job may not show up in their timetable, Cole said. The committee should also keep the identities of the candidates confidential to protect their current positions, he said. see COMMITTEE page 4 •
