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.
