Minutes of the Lecture and Fine Arts Committee
for February 27, 2004

Members Present: A. Garcia, A. Goldsmith (chair), C. Ireland, and E. Wallen; excused: S. McLaughlin, J McRoy.

The meeting was called to order at 11:05 a.m. in Comm Arts 279.

The minutes of the January 23, 2004 , meeting were approved and distributed two new proposals requesting a total of $750.

1. A. Goldsmith did a quick review of the budget.

a. R. Odegaard had received a cancelled "Payment to Individual Report" from S. Sirovatka that the scheduled storyteller did not attend the PowWow. The committee had committed $300 for this event. A. Goldsmith stated he would ask for clarification and it was discovered that another storyteller had been at the PowWow and so the $300 was used appropriately.

b. It was also noted that Elaine Brown did not speak on campus and the $600 the committee had designated for that event is probably available. R. Odegaard had sent an email to F. Akindes asking if the scheduled event had happened so the committee could act on the pending proposals. If this event did not happen, the committee would have this $600 (allocated but not used) plus the $262 still to allocate for a total of $862.

c. A. Goldsmith stated that because of the uncertainties, he would not send out confirmations until he had received word that the $600 was again available to the committee to distribute.
