Upcoming Senators' Meeting
Plans were made for the Senators' meeting on October 17, at 11:00a.m. The Executive Board is to meet at 10:00. The plan is to serve cookies, coffee, and tea. Also, paper notices and e-mail invitations will be sent. Susan will post reminders on the website bulletin board. Donna agreed to make arrangements with Homer for the refreshments.

Upcoming Officers' Reports: (next time)
Bob Gentry, Scholarship Chair; Mike Huneke, Activities of the Evaluation Committee; Jim Lillie, Management Council.

President's Council Minutes
Mike distributed copies of these minutes to all interested persons.

Executive Board Representation at President's Council Meetings
Dr. Lease reported that the members of the President's Council had been quite upset over the absence of Faculty Senate Representation at the President's council meetings. Susan agreed to go at 8:30, and Jim agreed to go at 9:00 every other Monday. Mike was encouraged to schedule himself so that he could attend. The problem is that everyone is scheduled for classes during the meeting times.

Search for a Permanent Office
An empty office space in the Student Center seems to be a favorable possibility. Mike stressed the need for a permanent location.

Best Meeting Time
The group decided upon 3-5 on Fridays as the best meeting time for the remainder of the Fall quarter, but it was decided not to change the Senators' meeting, except to reduce it by one hour (11-12).

There being no further business, the motion to adjourn was made, seconded, and passed at approximately 11:30 a. m.
