are being ordered by Dr. Cliff Keil. Room 304 – the no-exit sign
up has been posted in the doorway but the door stopper still needs to

Room 204 Worrilow still needs a phone installed. The phone number will
be the same for room 204 & 201.
NEW BUSINESS
We have 2 new graduate students in PLSC and they have completed the
Web CT Right-To-Know training. There is only one graduate student
who has
not completed this training.
Theresa Holton, manger of the greenhouse, has made a list with all the
necessary repairs necessary for the old greenhouse. She presented this
list to Dr. Tom Sims, who in turn, presented it to the faculty during
the
last
meeting
and
a decision
is
pending as to “what to do”. The Fisher Greenhouse also
needs some repairs.
Security cameras – Larry Thornton is working with Purchasing
to standardize and obtain a contract.
There has been nothing but positive feedback from the 3 classes
that used WebCT Right-To-Know training this semester. Unfortunately
