Attendees: Katy Culligan, Dusten Olds, Jennifer Schedler, Jeannette Abbott

I was surprised that only four people showed up, but I think I

found out why: it looks like me email about the meeting was sent back to

me. Anyway, we had to decide a few things.

The most important of those things being the CAR WASH this SATURDAY, Sept.

18, from 9:30-2:30. It will be held at the SHELL station across the

street from the Galleria. I believe it is on the corner of Clayton and

Brentwood. Please, as you can see, out list of people is small, so we

need everyone's help. Jen has volunteered to take myself and Jeannette,

and Dustin has volunteered to take Raul. If anyone else needs a ride, let

me know, asap. Please be there at 9:30. We will leave by 2:30 at the

latest. Also, who has our supplies? I think it may be Matt.

Finally, dues for this year will be the same as last year $15. You can

pay at the next general meeting. I will let you know when it is.

Directions for the car wash if anyone needs them:

From Wash U:

take forrest park parkway to I-170 south

after getting on I-170 south, immediately take the

Brentwood exit.

After getting on Brentwood, get in the left lane FAST

because the first light (Clayton Ave) is where

you want to turn left. (if you're stopped at the

light, you will see the gas station diagnolly from

you across the street)

It's on the corner of Brentwood and Clayton.

Honor Society business:

+Prof. Gould and Truman are members of Chi Espilon; we need to find out if

there are any other professors that are members to prepare to apply for

membership in Chi Epsilon.

+It was agreed that we should induct people both semesters into the honor

society, but only have an induction ceremony in the spring.

+We need to figure out who has paid the dues and who hasn't.

October 8, 1999:

Attendees: Katy Culligan, Dusten Olds, Scott Johnson, Jennifer Schedler

There is a treasurers’ meeting coming up soon; unlike last year when we needed to apply through EnCouncil for funding, we need to go directly to SU this year.

We also discussed the need to write our by-laws and start updating electronic data in the ‘wucehs’ account:

• The by-laws should be drafted by February.

• It might be helpful to visit other Chi Epsilon sites and/or request by-laws from other organizations to help us get started drafting our own.
• This could include U of I’s web site and the nat’l web site.
• Speaker for Chi Epsilon induction could be paid for, partially, through SU speaker fund.

Jen – schools work is in progress. The options are to: (1) sponsor our own school – a lot of time and energy, (2) co-sponsor with CH2MHILL – who already has a program set up at Gateway MS. Jen is getting the information together to start working on the Future Cities program with CH2MHILL. The purpose of the program will be to go to the school and evaluate and assist students in preparing their city designs and inputting their designs into SimCity 2000for the Future Cities competition.

Also, Jen is working on assembling information for possibly arranging a career fair/science fair judging activity.

Supplementary info from Jen Schedler:

I have some more information on the Future City Program. For those of you

who were not at the meeting or don't remember, this is a program where

middle schools in St. Louis compete against each other for the best

SimCity city. I have now found out that it is a nationwide contest and

the best city fromn the region goes onto nationals during EnWeek. We

would get to come into the schools and help them with their cities. It

will be starting soon and ending in Jan. The judgin is based on:

1) The computer city they do in Sim City (they have to keep their

pollution, taxes, etc down to a certain level)

2) A printout of their city (a big poster)

3) The scaled model of their city

4) A 500-word essay on a set topic Essay on designing and building a

sister city on Mars in the year 2030

5) The presentation they do of their city

Basically, our end consists of I would say about one school a week or

less. We are going to go along with CH2MHill to the schools they do. I

said I thought we could send ~3 people every time. (but this can vary)

So, if everyone could please send me times they are available between

8am-3:30pm Mon-Fri this would help me out so I don't have to contact

everyone every time I find out about a school visiting. For instance,

send me Mon 1-3:30pm, Fri 8am-noon, if these are the times you are free.

Please send this to js14@cec preferably by this weekend.

Earthquake Awareness weekend at the Science Center was a success. We had a good attendance throughout the afternoon.

Today’s general body meeting attendance was: Dusten, Raul, Jen, Josh, John, Katie, Katy, Scott J., Scott M., Jeannette, and Adam.

A previous informal meeting of officers established the time and location of this year’s induction ceremony. This information will be updated shortly.

Some members still have not paid their dues.

There is an REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates) program at the University of Oklahoma. Persons interested in this should contact Katy Culligan for more information.

March 20, 2000:

The initiation dinner for the new officers is planned for April 7. It has been decided that the initial date of April 7, decided on previously, will remain the date to have the dinner even though there are conflicts with other events. The speaker for the event will be Dr. Truman.

Thanks to everyone who helped out at the car wash: Jeanette Abbott, Jennifer Schedler, Scott Johnson, Adam Scates, and Katie Owen.

New supplies were purchased, reducing the net revenue to $70. Planning for next year should yield higher profits, since the purchase of new supplies took away from both time and revenue. We lost a few customers due to the long wait towards the end, due to fewer than expected volunteers for the car wash.
 
 

April 7, 2000:

The induction ceremony for the new officers was conducted today to welcome the 2000-2001 officers of the honor society:

We congratulate the new officers on their efforts to help the honor society continue to grow and help promote the standards of excellence of the civil engineering department.
