CHCSA Meeting Minutes March 1, 2007

In attendance: Eva Sylwester, Angela Wu, Allison Rowe, Samantha Johnson, Adam Kendall, Emily Casey, Daniel Keller, Mary Kay Bansmer, Amber Byron and Erin Davis.

Search Committee Updates: The Honors College has decided to extend an offer to Travis Zadeh for the Literature Professorship. One of the three Geology candidates has already visited the campus, and another cannot come to campus. When the interviews have been completed a decision will be made about the Geology candidates.

Ashland Trip: Currently scheduled for May 5th. The likely plays we will be seeing are "As You Like It" and "Tracy's Tiger". The CHCSA will pay for one of the two plays, and the student pays for the other. Group rates are $25 per person. The CHCSA has budgeted for 20-30 people to attend this trip. The plan is to see a matinee on Saturday and then an evening show. Transportation may be carpooling or the use of ASUO vans. Two pre-trip meetings are being planned, one of which should be held before Spring Break. If you are interested in this trip, there should be posters with information appearing soon in Chapman. If you are willing to help with transportation, such as offering to drive, please inform the Amber and Erin, who are organizing this trip.

The Very Little Theater trip is still scheduled for April 12th. This is a more informal outing, costing very little and allowing for a relaxed evening of theater. Adam is currently coordinating this trip. More information will be posted as the date nears.

A Meal with Professor Bishop: This has yet to be definitely scheduled, but it will most likely be between weeks 2 and 3 of Spring Term, and will be a potluck. A sign-up sheet will be posted in Chapman when more details are concluded. Please indicate upon signing if you have any dietary restrictions.

Camping Trip: This event is proposed for Saturday, May 19th, when the weather is likely to be warmest. Transport will be bus. The campsite is at Fern Ridge, and the CHCSA will need to hold a pre-trip meeting to get a head count before making reservations for the site. If anyone has any camping equipment they'd like to offer, please speak with Emily Casey and Daniel Keller, who are organizing this trip. A poster should be appearing during Spring Term in Chapman with further information.

End of Year BBQ: The tentative date for this event if the Friday of week 10. CHCSA officer elections may be held during this event, so Honors students should definitely come to eat and have their voices heard!

Bylaws: Adam has written a resolution for the CHCSA to create a committee, consisting of Treasurer, Secretary, and three others, to rework the bylaws. Those in attendance voted and the resolution passed unanimously. . The five committee members are Adam Kendall, Samantha Johnson, Eva Sylwester, Allison Rowe, and Mary Kay Bansmer. Meetings concerning the bylaws will be separate from regular CHCSA meetings, and will be open to all Honors students. The bylaws will be completed by April 30th, 2007.

High Five: The trivia club has settled on Mondays at 5:30pm for a meeting time.
