Present from CPSO: P. Weiss, K. Griffiths, R. Goudreau, D. Thompson, P. Frank, J. Young

Classification

Changes were made as indicated on the approved list.

Subject Headings

Dyan langauge

The proposed UF Dan language conflicts with an existing heading that is established in that form. The proposed UF and the existing heading will both need to be qualified in order to resolve the conflict. The proposal may be resubmitted.

Marimba with percussion ensemble

The Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings, H 250, allows for the construction of this heading without creating an authority record. The proposal is not necessary.

Nga Puhi (New Zealand people)

The existing heading should be changed to add the macron to the word Ngā rather than retaining the heading as is and adding a UF from the form with the macron. The proposal may be resubmitted.

Pagoda officers

This proposed heading was patterned after the existing heading Synagogue officers and appears to have been proposed only to be used as a broader term on the related heading Pagoda trustees. Since it is not clear that the term "officers" is appropriate in the context of pagodas and since the heading is not needed for the item being cataloged, it was not approved.
