Dispensed with the reading of previous meeting minutes. Comittee Reports Alpha Report Alpha is in good shape. We will have 23 brothers on campus in the fall of 1999. The undergraduate brotherhood is confident about Rush. Finances are in good shape. The undergraduate appreciate all the help they have been given and express desire to have even more alumni participate in events. Recruitment The Buell scholarship has 36 applicants already, much more than last year. Interviews will be in two locations this year, Olympia Fields and Elk Grove Village. The alumni will greet this year and the undergraduates will do the intitial interview. 30 finalists will then be interviewed on campus by the alumni to determine the winner. The change is to help facilitate Rush. June 19 and 26 are the interview dates for the undergraduates (and alumni greeters). May 23 is the closing date for applicants. We will attempt to get S. Anderson or D. Romoser to be the featured speaker. A recruitment commitee was formed, chaired by Randy Mason and assisted by Kevin O'Neill. July 24 will be an alumni/active softball game and picnic. Rushees to be invited. The event will be held in Park Ridge or nearby and organized by Kevin O'Neill. Finance No report submitted. The corporation will need a new #4 in the fall, Brother Riehs is stepping down. Only item is that Tim's rent for April is still outstanding. Property The fire inspection was passed. Something needs to be done with O'Neills door. We have 13 contracts with 2.5 pending. The corporation reviewed the covenant for purchasing a new Lodge. The stairway and the hallway need repairs. A commitee was formed by Brothers Way, Schallmo, Stevens and Hess to address the problem of why more brothers are not living in.

New Business Brother Hess made known that the undergraduate need new robes as the old are in a very worn state. A motion was made by Brother Hess that $1000 that was budgeted for repairs the previous summer and was not spent be used for new robes. An amendment was made to the motion that it can be spent unless other property damages are forthcoming and the funds are needed for that. The amendment passed as well as the motion.
