Meeting Minutes October 17, 2001

1)Next week's meeting is canceled because of Sage's Take Back the Night.

Check it out at 8pm Wednesday October 24th on the steps of Old College.

2)What we've done recently:

A)On Monday, There was a Wild Utah presentation on the American

Red Rock Wilderness bill. The bill is to get a huge plot of land in Utah

declared wilderness. All the reps in Delaware have not yet signed on. We

are having a letter signing meeting on November 7th.

B)Last night was the first radio show that S4E is doing, Tuesday

nights 7:30 on WVUD, 91.3FM. Next week's topic is Dredging of the

Delaware River. The week after that is Beach Erosion and after that is

the Brownfields in Newark. We need people to do a little research on

these topics for Rosie and Emily who do the show. If you have 5 minutes

to research and email your findings to althea@udel.edu, that would be

really awesome. They try to compile their stuff on Sundays.

-Brownfields are large areas that used to be used for

industrial purposes and now cannot be used.

The issues are all explained on copland.udel.edu/stu-org/sfe

3)The Econfrence is in DC the weekend of October 19th-21st. Sarah Frazier

is the only person going right now.

Afghanistan and racial profiling. Tuesday, October 23rd, 6:30-8pm on the

North Mall. email Nathaniel Miller for questions, nathan@udel.edu

5)There is a Mercy concert on Friday at Mitchell Hall 7:30pm. Sister

helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking will be there, tickets ar $12 in

advance.

6)Air conditioning standard roll back: Send letters to the Department of

Energy. All new houses built will get lower standards on central air that

uses more power and costs the consumer more money. www.standardsasap.org

7)Recycling: Laura made up packets about what articles have been written

recently about recycling on campus.

-We may have a running kiosk about this issue with surveys, a

comment box, a petition, candy, and info on the contamination of recycling

issue. DUSC is having a recycling committee, if you want to be on it,

Andrew has already sent emails about that.

8)Sarah F is interested in finding out why the dorms are so hot and

possibly seeing if they can turn it down.

9)National Wildlife Federation has a campus ecology book that we are

interested in purchasing that will be useful for our campus on how to

attack such issues as recycling and energy conservation.

10) We voted to decide to be on the list of groups that supports the bill

that will give Utah's wilderness wilderness protection. The Sierra club

sends people to Utah to look at this wilderness if anyone is interested in

going. We are also seeing what the Sierra Club is doing around here.

Well, thats it, alot of issues were covered, I'm sorry if it is a little

confusing.
