As the Christmas and New Year holidays are approaching, members of the staff who wish to give away or accept any gifts in this festive season and are in doubt as to whether such gifts are permissible under the law should first consult the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance. Copies of the ordinance are available for reference at the University Library and its branch libraries, as well as at the Information and Public Relations Office (2nd floor, Pi Ch'iu Building). 建築物及設施名稱 Naming/Renaming of Buildings/Facilities 大學校董會最近議決通過下列建築物及設施的名稱︰ •聯合書院胡忠圖書館易名為「聯合書院胡忠多媒體圖書館」 •聯合書院即將奠基的新學生宿舍命名為「陳震夏宿舍」 •聯合書院鄭棟材樓地庫的學生活動中心命名為「思源文娛中心」 •崇基學院新改建的學生宿舍(舊硏究院宿舍)命名為「五旬節會樓」 The University Council has approved the renaming/ naming of the following buildings/facilities: • The United College Wu Chung Library has been renamed United College Wu Chung Multimedia Library with retroactive effect from 1st July 2001. • A new student hostel to be constructed on United College campus and a student amenities centre inside the T.C.
