Dr. Dorman Stout, President, called the meeting to order at 3:30 p.m., after which he recognized Dr. Willene Paxton, Chair of the "Tales of the University" Committee who presented questions and issues raised by her committee on February 19, 2002. Questions to be resolved are:
Þ Presidents and other administrators
Þ Colleges--Professors and Staff including the founding of the College of Medicine
Þ Secretaries, custodians, and the shoe shine man
Þ Student life: student organizations, social life, drama, etc.
Þ Sports, including women's sports
Þ Publications, the student newspaper and annual
Þ
Buildings, stories of ghosts, the
physical plant, haunted house
The question of publication cost was raised. Diana McClay reported that Fred Sauceman had said earlier a 32 page publication with 12 pictures and printing 1000 copies would cost $2200.
It was the consensus of the executive committee that the publication should be humorous, light, and easy reading and not a history of the university and that the material be informally printed.
Following Dr. Paxton's departure, a motion was made by Jay Allen and seconded by Bill Fisher to establish the ANNUAL MEETING OF 2003 as the target date for completion. The action was unanimous.
The minutes of the January meeting were approved as printed on a motion by Betty Tester and seconded by Bill Fisher.
