AGSA Minutes - November 29, 1999

In Attendance:
Jen Trunzo, Daniel Harms, Mark Carpenter, Kathleen Heffley, Bill MacFarlane, Chris Wahlfeld, and Sue Maguire

1. Report from the trustees meeting:
   There was no public forum for airing grievances. Smaller interest groups are the best way to be heard. Some committees had student representatives. Our best bet is to get a representative or two into one of these groups. Once we find out how to do this, we will provide more info.
2. Co-sponsoring events:
   The Sociology Department is organizing a one day conference to be held March 24, 1999. It will be called "NAVIGATING SOCIAL SPACES." AGSA unanimously approved a $30 co-sponsorship. If anybody is interested in giving some of their time to the sociology department's cause, contact Bill MacFarlane for more info.
3. Colloquia and Symposia
   1. A Brown Bag Colloquia has been set up. If you have questions about the topic and time, contact Bill Macfarlane for more info.
   2. If anybody is interested in giving a presentation, please contact Dan Mazeau.
4. Capital Expenditures
   AGSA will attempt to get funding to purchase a new computer for the grad lounge. It will be more economical to get a new system to replace/supplement the current Pentium. The current Pentium cannot be upgraded in terms of hardware or software. There is not enough memory to upgrade the software and Packard-Bell products are notoriously difficult and expensive to upgrade in terms of hardware. Therefore. it was decided that AGSA will pursue funding for a new machine.
5. Printer and Copier Issues
   $180 has been allocated to purchase 2 toner cartridges for the copier. $ 70 has been allocated to purchase two ink cartridges for the printer. Sue Maguire has volunteered to make the purchases. Motion received unanimous approval.

Repectfully submitted,

Jennifer Trunzo,
AGSA Secretary.
