Martin reported the faculty on the subcommittee include herself, Bruce Seely, Brad Baltensperger, Debra Bruch and Jack Jobst. Progress has been made obtaining World Cultures support dollars for start-up and activities, and also in meeting with book publisher representatives.

Snyder pointed out the need to look over equipment installation to prevent problems of separating faculty from students. In the past, rows of tables were put in some rooms and these get in the way during lectures. Gorman asked that the equipment installation be complete by August 31st because of Freshman Orientation begins then and all rooms on campus are needed. Martin responded that Registrars is not scheduling classes for one track in the summer so that equipment may be installed. Bowen added that block scheduling was also discussed with the working group and Mike Johnson last summer.
