Minutes of the SCC meeting held on Sunday, April 17, 1994

Attending: Brent, Jeremy, Jodi, Sara, Laurie, Scott, Jessica

The meeting opened with devotions by Sara.

1.   Treasurer's Report: Not much happened in the student account last month.

2.   Committee reports.
Outreach held their group phoning night to students living off-campus and
     that went well, attracting at least one new student to worship.
Worship:  Calvin DeWitt will be speaking at the Earth Day service April 20.
Social Activities:  Latin dancing follows the community potluck being held
     Friday (April 22).  Laurie suggested making the last potluck (May 13)
     into a dress-up affair with dancing.  This would provide for a social
     event similar to the Spring Banquets (which have been stopped now that
     we hold the study retreat), but without as much work.
Directing Committee:  Some of the younger DC members are interested in
     occasionally accompanying the SCC outreach committee on calling nights.
Staff:  Laurie went to Penn State to participate in their Campus Ministry
     review.  They organize 20 minute concerts followed by brown bag lunches
     at their center, providing a chance to welcome a larger community.
     They also give out plastic tumblers to students (as we give out
     memo boards and pencils).  These might be good ideas to try here.
          Brent and Jodi went to the LCMWUM board meeting.  The campus
     ministry staff there felt that the LCMWUM board had no strong direction
     for campus ministry in the coming years; the board seemed to be talking
     about just maintaining the current programs or even reducing them.
     But campus ministry has traditionally been on the cutting edge, so
     various campus ministry staff plan to get together to discuss new
     directions for campus ministries.
          Our third staff member is not actually cut: the position is
     just unfilled right now, and could be filled whenever we get enough
     money.  LCMWUM allocated $5000 to hire someone on an interim basis. We
     might be able to supplement that enough to hire someone part time.

3.   The Lutheran Student Movement retreat was held with the Midwest
Christian Retreat.  That meant there were many people there and LSM didn't
need to do all of the planning, but it was more expensive and had a
different feeling than other retreats.

4.   SCC elections will be held April 27th.  We discussed possibilities
of who to encourage to run, giving us candidates or possible candidates
for all of the positions.

5.   The fall planning meeting is May 7, 9 A.M. to noon.  The Center will
provide breakfast, perhaps bagels and donuts.

6.   The Sunday worships so far have attracted about 7-10 students, not
including staff and the Good News Singers.  It's too late in the school
year to work at drawing more, since students are starting to worry about
finals now.  We could go all out in the fall with advertising to bring
in a larger crowd then.

7.   The Study Retreat is happening soon!  Cost is $20.  Tell your friends!

8.   We discussed the possibility of getting a faculty advisor for the
Campus Center.  We think the advisor would be able to let us rent UW fleet
vans and reserve University Club rooms for banquets.  Brent will check to
be sure of what the advantages are.  There are a few faculty on the
Directing Committee who we might be able to convince to help us that way.

9.   The blood drive is this week (April 19-22).  Brent has volunteered to
bake a loaf of bread for everyone who donates.  If 25 people donate, he will
even cook an Italian dinner for all of them.

10.   Boundary Waters:  One person has already paid to go, even before we
begin our high-powered recruitment.
