I. Moment O' Silence

II. Introductions - For the benefit of our special guest, Rohit Apte (and so that we can be sure we all know who everyone is) we went around the room and introduced ourselves.

III. Last Week's Meeting - Morgan apologized for the length of last week's meeting and for the preponderance of jargon that may not have been clear to new members. She stressed that people should email her after meetings if they are confused or just want to chat.

IV. Training - Lea, Alex, Daphne, Kara, Jamie, Peter and Anthony all expressed interest in going to the special Communications Outreach extensive mediation training in Philadelphia this fall. After their weekend long training, they will be extremely valuable to Student Facilitation Panels (should we ever have one). Morgan is still working out the details for the bi-annual Honor Council mediation and diversity training, which will hopefully take place on Sunday the 19th. She will be meeting with Ramien (In the Dean's office) this week to discuss details.

V. Acquaintance Rape Brochure - When Morgan and Elizabeth met with Dean Milden and Mary Lou Allen last week, they were given two copies of a brochure on acquaintance rape adjudication on college campuses. The brochure was written by a lawyer, and offers several interesting alternatives to Haverford's current policy. All of Honor Council has been asked to read and respond to this brochure as various groups begin to re-evaluate Haverford's policies with respect to sexual assault.

VI. Plenary is still on Sunday, October 5 in Marshall Auditorium. Doors open at 1:00 PM. According to Morgan, there is ONE resolution regarding Student Taught Classes that should be up on the comment board for your perusal by the time you read these minutes.

VII. Project Reports

A. JSAAPP - Emily reported that they are currently working out meeting times.

B. HCO Liaisons - Rob is working with Erin Herward and Margaret Gruen to set up the HCO/Honor Council member pairs for this semester.

C. House of Interest - Laura reported that Kevin Joseph is in the process of compiling the representative responses from the various clubs. Meetings are TBA. Laura suggested to Kevin that the HOI might be an appropriate place to discuss Honor Code and Honor Council issues, as it will offer a diverse cross-section of the community.

D. Web Page - Peter spoke with ACC about the Web Page, and learned that there are many exciting things possible with current technology. Morgan and Elizabeth spoke with Dean Milden about the possibility of putting abstracts on the Web. The verdict is that abstracts may be put on the Web, but access to these pages will be limited to the Bi-Co community.

VIII. Academic Computing Issues - Morgan met with Erin Herward to discuss further the idea of having HCOs help Honor Council with community education on the Academic Computing issues raised at our last meeting (see 9/21 minutes). They decided that the best way to structure the HCOs' discussions with their frosh would be to publish a pseudo-abstract, which Morgan will write by the end of Fall Break. Honor Council, with the help of HCO committee, will also compile a list of issues to be addressed during these discussions. We are hoping to pair HCOs with Student Assistants from the computer labs, so that the SAs can be available to answer any technical questions. There will be a training session for HCOs some time after Fall Break in order to pass out the abstracts and structure the discussions.

IX. Abstracts - Anthony volunteered to help Morgan track down and distribute abstracts that are yet to be released.
