The second sentence of the amended By-Laws was corrected with the followingstatement: "With respect to the 2 nominees to the Board of Trustees, the Associate Members' first choice shall serve in the Board on a regular basis while the other shall serve as an alternate, in case of the former's inability to attend meetings or cessation as PSSC Trustee." IV. Business Arising from the Minutes of the 15 February 1997 General Assembly Annual Meeting. Welrome ofthe new 5 Assa ciate Members The GA welcomed the representatives. of the Council's 5 new associate members. They were Dr. Rosalinda Barquez (CenterforResearch and Extension Services, Aquinas Univer sity), Prof. Rodelio Subade (Division of Social Sciences, UP Visayas), Dr. Edgar Crifio (Research and Development Cen ter, University of Negros Occldental-Recoletos), Mi. Rodrigo 9 Romea (School of Economics, University of Asia and the Pa cific), and Prof. Sonia Imperial (SocialResearch Center, Ateneo de Naga). On the By-Lzws Provisions on NJminations and Flections Dr. Domingo Salita inquired whether the proposed refine ment of the By-Laws indicating no more references to nomi nations and elections has been made. Prof. Miranda replied that the issue has been noted and that partial action had been taken (i.e, the Nominations Committee suggested an amend ment to the title of Article X of the PSSCBy-Laws to be "Nomi nations and Confirmation" from "Nominations and Election") although formal amendments to the ByLaws are yet to be com piled and submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commis sion (SEC). v. New Business A Chairperson's Report Prof. Felipe B.Miranda updated the General Assembly with the new composition of the Board of Trustees and its working committees and with the Council's midyear accomplishments in relation to 1) PSSC's Regular Programs (Research Award Program, Conference Award Program, Lecture Series, Publi cations, Book Center/Central Subscription Service, newacqui sitions of the Frank Lynch Library); 2) the Council's regional and international networking activities and linkages; 3) PSSC's special projects; 4) its on-going projects and 5) its new projects, the details of which were contained in the Chairman's report distributed to the Assembly. Accordingly, the GA 97-08-01 ACCEPTED the Chairperson's report. 10 B. Treasurer's Report Ms. Carmelita Ericta, Treasurer, reported that the Council's total revenue for the period January to June 1997 amounted to P3,770,494.25 while expenditures amounted to P3,479,810.67 resulting in a positive balance of P299,683.58. The total rev enue as of midyear was 42 percent of the projected P9,049,571.00 income of PSSC for 1997. The 8 percent short fall, she explained, was due to a drop in two major sources of funds: rental income from the use of function rooms and in come from investments. The shortfall in the rental income is traced to the opening of nearby facilities and hotels offering similar function room services. The drop in investment in come was due to the declining performance of marketable se curities in recent months which affected PSSC's investments with PDCP and BPI. Ms. Ericta noted however that the Council's expenditures were kept well within the budget. Discussions Most of the clarifications and suggestions raised concerned the printed presentation of PSSC's financial reports. Dr. Edgar Grifio suggested that the Council's reports should always in clude the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement. Ms. Ericta informed the General Assembly that information on the Bal ance Sheet and Income Statement which are not included in the current report are available with the Secretariat, and that these are normally included in the PSSC Annual Financial Report presented during the February General
