Minutes of the May 7, 1998 IAAC meeting



1.  The meeting came to order at 3:40 PM.  Committee Members
    attending were Professor Shub, Mr. Nelson, Dean Wisner, Ath-
    letic Director Gregory, Academic Coordinator Foltz, Ms. Dang,
    and Mr. Shepherd.

2.  A motion by Nelson seconded by Shepherd to approve the prior
    minutes passed without dissent.

3.  Student Government co-executives Michelle McWhinney and Jeff
    Willener attended the meeting.  They stressed the importance
    of Student Government supporting athletics. They hope the
    newly approved mascot will help focus attention and create a
    better sense of community.  They are glad to be involved.

    Several ideas for promoting this sense of community were dis-
    cussed.  There was consensus that the fall activities fair on
    August 27 would be an appropriate target date for starting a
    publicity campaign and debuting the mascot, pending appropri-
    ate approvals from the regents and the licensing office.
    Gregory and Deng agreed to follow up on the promotional
    issues and report back in the fall.

4.  Athletic Directory Gregory reported that Vice Chancellor Bess
    was working on paving the way for new facilities.  He also
    reported that over 400 people will attend the awards banquet
    this Saturday.

5.  Shub was nominated and elected as Chair for next year.
    Shepherd reported that he was hoping Mr. Carruthers would be
    the next representative from the Captains' Council.  He also
    reported that Dr.  Rebman seemed to have enjoyed being the
    faculty advisor to the Captains' Council.  Shub was directed
    to ask Dr. Rebman if he would continue to serve as advisor to
    the Captains' Council.

6.  Meeting times for next semester were discussed.  Shub will
    send electronic mail to the committee members soliciting
    availability times.  There was some discussion of holding
    meetings either over lunch or immediately before Prospector's
    Club events.

7.  A motion by Shepherd seconded by Nelson to adjourn passed
    without dissent at 4:20PM.
