In Attendance:
William McFarlane, Daniel Mazeau, Susan Maguire, Katie Ainsworth, Christopher Wahlfeld, John Floyd, Chuck Riley

New Business:

1. Christina Black, a graduate student from Media Studies, asked the AGSA if it would like to Sponsor and Cosponsor a symposium and its resultant publication that will occur in November. The symposium, which is financially supported by many departments throughout the university, will look at art, religion, and culture within modern-day African nations. This symposium will allow people interested in African culture to get together and discuss relevant issues. Many people will be attending, both local and international. It will feature talks and exhibitions by several "big-name" speakers, while including talks from several students and faculty from within the Anthropology department. Next spring a volume will be published which will include the papers given at this symposium.
   To show support for this event and the research involved, the AGSA has decided to take on the role of primary sponsor for both the symposium and publication. In addition, the AGSA decided to cosponsor each event, providing each $25, for a total of $50. All decisions were voted on and approved by the present members.

Repectfully submitted,

Daniel E. Mazeau,
AGSA Secretary.
