The Senate Statute 14 of the Statutes of The Chinese University of Hong Kong in Schedule 1 to The Chinese University of Hong Kong Ordinance (Cap. 1109) is amended in paragraph 5A(a) by repealing 'or to see papers' and substituting 'or have access to or read papers'. 2.

For the purpose of this Statute, reserved areas of business are the same as those referred to in paragraph 5A(b) of Statute 14. The Chairman of the Board may decide in any case of doubt whether or not a matter falls within one of the reserved areas of business referred to above and his decisions shall be final.' 調査委員會 校方已成立委員會，調查去年十一月校長就職典禮 秩序失控一事，以明瞭事件始末，並建議如何避免日後 在校園發生同類事件。調查委員會成員名單如下： 主席：廖柏偉敎授 委員：李金漢敎授 關信基敎授 殷巧兒校董 秘書：黃陳慰冰女士 兼任及名 譽教師新職稱 New Academic Titles Scheme for Part-time/ Honorary Teaching Staff 繼去年實施敎師新職稱計劃後，校方最近亦爲兼任 及名譽敎師設立新職稱。新聘任的兼任或名譽敎師如獲 有關學系和學院推薦，可獲授「兼任助理敎授」或「兼 任副敎授」職稱；具卓越學術或專業成就者則授予「兼 任敎授」職稱。唯此非必要安排，該類敎師可沿用「兼 任講師」或「名譽講師」職稱。獲授新職稱者可稱呼爲 「某某敎授」。 查詢請致電人事處（內線七二八五）。 Following the implementation of the New Academic Titles Scheme for full-time teachers, new academic titles for part- time and honorary teaching staff were recently introduced. On the recommendation of the department and faculty concerned, newly appointed part-time/honorary teachers may be accorded the academic title of Adjunct Assistant Professor or Adjunct Associate Professor. Only those with an impressive academic/professional record will be accorded the title of Adjunct Professor. The award of the new academic titles is however not automatic or necessary for part-time/honorary teaching appointees, who will otherwise continue to carry the titles of Part-time Lecturer or Honorary Lecturer. For day-to-day communication purposes, the same arrangement for addressing full-time teachers with new academic titles will be adopted, i.e., part-time/honorary teachers carrying the adjunct titles may be addressed as 'Professor (name of teacher concerned)'. Enquiries can be directed to the Personnel Office (Ext. 7285). Changes in Immigration Control on British Citizens The Immigration Department has proposed some amendments to the Immigration Ordinance to take effect from 1st April 1997 to align the visa policies and provisions governing the stay of British citizens with those governing the stay of other foreign nationals. The proposed amendments mainly cover the following: • visa-free visit for British citizens will be shortened from one year to six months; • the appropriate visa is required for taking up employment, studying, starting business, and joining family in Hong Kong; • British citizens who have resided in Hong Kong for seven years will be eligible to apply for unconditional stay, but not the Right to Land; • British citizens who have taken up residence in Hong Kong prior to 1st April 1997 but who have not yet acquired 'resident British citizen' status (e.g. having the Right to Land in Hong Kong) may continue to work or live in Hong Kong until their current limit of stay expires. 'Resident British citizens' who are in Hong Kong on 1st April 1997 will automatically be given permission to remain in Hong Kong without any condition of stay. The bill to amend the Immigration Ordinance was introduced into the Legislative Council on 19th February 1997 and is now under discussion. Colleagues may acquire more information about this bill at http://www.info.gov.hk/immd/ ctrl-bc.htm. Hard copies of the web page are also available at the Personnel Office (Ext. 7179/7191). For enquiries, please contact the Immigration Department at 2824 4055, fax 2598 8388, or e-mail roa@immd.gcn.gov.hk. 預防肝炎運動 Hepatitis Awareness Campaign 保健處於三月三至十四日舉辦預防肝炎運動，包括 在保健中心展出肝炎之有關資料，爲敎職員及其家屬和 學生抽血檢驗肝炎抗原或抗體，並爲有需要者注射疫 苗。 甲型和乙型肝炎的抽血檢驗費用分別爲八十五元 和一百一十元，注射疫苗（三劑）則分別爲每劑二百 元和一百元。兩項活動分別於三月六至七日及三月十 三至十四日（上午九時至中午十二時半，下午二時至 四時半）舉行。 The University Health Service has organized a Hepatitis Awareness Campaign on campus.
