Discussion

The officers and membership in attendance agreed on setting a better meeting time possibly earlier in the day to make it easier for members to attend. Also, it was discussed that the content of the meetings should be directed more towards the goal of philosophical discussion and a less socially or community service type organization. Also, the membership discusses ceasing the use of blackboard and trying to use Orglink more as it will be the accepted means of campus communication and blackboard will be going out of operation after the spring semester. We also decided that we would consider the joining of the two clubs as a means for making communication easier. The Election of officers was also discussed and it was agreed that officer elections will be reviewed further. We decided to continue to keep a room at the LSC so that we may hold meetings without a faculty member present.
