Minutes of the Fall Council Meeting
Highland Community College
Student/Conference Center - Room 206
October 24, 1998

The meeting was called to order by President Carl Wenning at 7:35 am. Those attending were Carl Wenning, Eric Peterson, Tom Snyder, Dave Sykes, Roger Malcolm, Kathy Qin, Ann Brandon, Conley Stutz, Gary Wolber, Steve Weber, Dave Cornell, Roger Reeves, Yan Lwin, Debby Lojkutz, Curt Hieggelke, Bill Conway and David Renneke.

The minutes of the Spring 1998 council meeting were presented and approved. The treasurer's report showed a balance of $3,017.92 as of October 24, 1998.

Our section representative, Conley Stutz, reported that the workshop fees at the national AAPT meetings have nearly doubled. Much of this is due to the need for computer support for many of the workshops.

Curt Hieggelke suggested that the list of national officers and the list of section representatives be added to our mailing list for the Illinois Physics Teacher.

Dave Sykes of the Nominating Committee presented the following list of names, scheduled for action during the business meeting of the section later today:

Narendra Jaggi - President-Elect
