Minutes of meeting 4/12/00

Darcey started off the meeting asking for reports
from committees:

The Elaine Perry at the Spearfish library says that
the book that we ordered for the library came in-
we just needed to go in and pay for it and then they
can put it on the shelves with the English Club design
ated at the donor.  It was decided that Carol would
go pay for it and then the club will reimburse her for the cost of the book  -

The English Club Tea is now confirmed for May 5th
at 3:00 p.m. on third floor of the Student Union.

      We will be inviting all the English
professors to the event.  The purpose of the Tea is
to show our appreciation to our English professors for
their past cooperation in telling their students about
English Club events and meeting times and
hopefully the professors will recommend the English
Club to next semester's students.  This will also
be a chance to say good luck to Dr. Joplin who
will be leaving the club as advisor.

The Bulletin board project as reported by Holly
- We have the blessings of Dr. Salomon who is
assisting us in securing the spot on the wall
just above the shelf to the left of Salomon's
office.  (Later, I went and measured the wall
and ordered the Bulletin board from the college
bookstore- and it will be here in a couple of
weeks - the cost is $ 76.00 dollars plus tax
and it will be 36" X 48."  We are allowed to
pay for it with our Club's Ace card -said incoming
senate president, Allen Godsell.  We just need
to get Dr. Salomon to get Dr. Theisz's approval
and the forms filled out to ask the physical
plant for a work order.  They will put it up
for us)

Reminder that we will have one more scheduled
meeting at noon next Wednesday April 19th to
nominate and elect officers for next semester
and firm up plans for the April 26th Shakespeare
Day and coinciding Bake Sale. We will also
finish planning the English Club Tea on May 5th and
the "Open Mic" May 12th at the Common Grounds
at 7:00 p.m.  (This open mic will include music
and the club will receive $50 for hosting the
event.)

One more thing- Tony Crunk will be here on
Monday April 17.  Check the Jonas bulletin
board for specific dates and times for his
book signings and speaking engagements.
-Secretary, Carol Armbrust

P.S. I will check on when the English club
Web Magazine will be hooked up to the BHSU
Home page.

Not Quite Defeated !
by Donna Jones 4/17/00

"Listen beyond my words!"
I say in vain
to the man with the deaf heart.
Frustrated attempts find no receptacle,
no like apparatus to translate.
Nightmares of speech
Blasted toward glazed eyes
Covered with the permafrost
That traveled up
From the crack-frozen spirit.
Bruised but not beaten,
I will desist.
Other fights, I can win.

Dr. Salomon
