Old Business: LED Display: The possible displays were looked at and the security and necessity of them was assessed. Would it be better to get an alpha numeric display? Decision was tabled.

New Business: Website: Matt Heyse brought up the idea of moving the website off the sos server. If people have suggestions, send them to Matt. Printed Posters: The printed posters are getting taken when they're in color; black & white might be better.  Panasonic Projector: It was passed to purchase the panasonic projector, with the warranty ($400) and replacement bulbs. Multimedia Group: A movie advertising group is offering to send us upcoming movie previews to play as previews, and we will receive free stuff to pass out like candy or itunes cards etc. They do about 500 pre-screens with universities each year. They send one every couple months. It was passed to accept this offer.  Doors: There are some problems with the doors. At one point a door was locked but not closed. A motion was passed to replace the cores on all the doors.
