A. Treasurer's report- Adam not present 

B. AS senate discussion meeting report- The AS will be selling tickets to the Padre game on Friday,April 16.  The tickets are $8 each and will be sold at the Student Affairs office.  The AS is thinking about having a "Game booth week" before Spring Break; clubs can rent a booth for $50 and keep the money they make from the games.  Matching funds for the ACS meeting- our club packet is still being voted on by the AS. 

C. ICC meeting report- Eero not present, but Dr. Gergens (faculty advisor), gave a report-  Last meeting- was on 2/23/99, they are taking nominations for officers.  Meetings will be held on Tuesdays at 12p.m. in H119. Next meeting- 3/9/99.  They are thinking about creating a web-site where clubs can post calendar events on a master calendar. 

IV. Old Business: 

A. Business cards for the club- We need to decide on a design.  Dr. Gergens presented Eero's idea, and Denise presented her idea.  Hardcopy designs need to be brought to the special meeting next Wednesday, to be voted on. 

B. Boy Scout Merit Badge sign-off- The meeting with the faculty went well.  We concluded that we will need to extend our outreach beyond the Boy Scouts. Dr. Gergens suggests that we pick our target audience.  We will vote on how big we want the event to be at the special meeting next week. Evan brought up the point that high school students may have sports on Saturday, Elinor was concerned about excluding others if we pick just one high school.  We also will need to change the name of the event, since we will be including others along with the Boy Scouts. Helene checked into permission needed for the event.  Permission is not needed if we stay inside a classroom.  If experiments are done, we need to submit a proposal, so the campus police knows what's going on.  Presentations were given by the following members on their chosen requirement- Evan-biochemistry, George-inorganic chemistry, Helene- organic chemistry, Denise- physical chemistry, and Fany- pollution. 

C. Mug Sale: MSU- to discuss at next meeting. V. New Business: A. Were we an official club last semester?- We are still checking with the AS to see if we were voted in as an official club last semester.  We were recognized by  Student Affairs. 

B. Emergency meeting next week-  We will have special meeting next week on 3/10/99, at 4pm in K104 to go over the hard copies of the Merit Badge presentations, and to discuss the poster session.
