I. Business

 

After a movement by Russell and a second by Richards, the January minutes were approved.

 

Todd presented the report from the Executive Committee, noting that input would be sought from all interested parties regarding the potential reorganization of TSP. He also said that considering the new information that has come to light about the condition of the TSP building should be made part of the negotiations with UT. He asked if the UT Physical Plant could present its building report at an upcoming meeting, and Kathy agreed to arrange for the presentation.

 

The managers and director had no details to add to their written reports.

 

II. Candidate Certification

 

The candidates for Texan Editor and the open Board positions presented themselves for certification.

 

III. Future Agenda

 

While the Radio, TV and Travesty manager selections are planned for the March meeting, the idea was mooted that they might be shuffled around if a great amount of time is required by the anticipated Physical Plant presentation.

 

Upon a movement by Russell and a second by Richards, the Board voted to adjourn at 3:27 p.m.
