I. Moment Of Silence

II. Meetings - There will be no Honor Council meeting the Sunday after Thanksgiving (30 November).

III. West Point - Emily and Jamie spent the past week participating in the Ethics Conference at West Point. The other conference attendees were students from both civilian and military institutions that have Honor Codes in one form or another. Jamie reported that the first two days involved speeches on the new trend of ethical relativism within the baby-boomer generation and small group discussions directed towards the formulation of an 'ideal' Honor code. On the third day, CEOs of MTV, America On-Line and other major companies spoke and led discussions on ethics in the business world. According to Jamie, the CEOs told the conference participants that in the long run, the more ethical you are in business, the more profitable you will be. Emily said that one of the most interesting parts of the conference for her was the fact that she found herself agreeing the most with the students from the military academies (as opposed to the students from civilian schools). Jamie and Emilyalso noted that the wife (who is about 30) of America On-Line's CEO (who is about 70) was breast feeding at the dinner table.

IV. Survey - Laura and Daphne reported that they received a total of 226 surveys back from the community. They have completed the percentage analysis of the short-answer responses, and are now in the process of compiling unique or representative comments to post with the results. They hope to post the results on the Comment Board and the Honor Council Board (next to the SC board) after Thanksgiving break.

VI. Abstract Binder - Kara reported that she and Emily have finished updating one Abstract Binder.

VII. JSAAPP - Tim reported that JSAAPP is still discussing the party guidelines. He mentioned that Thursday's meeting was particularly productive, and added that there will be another community-wide discussion sometime this week. Rumor has it that there are now JSAAPP minutes. Finally, JSAAPP is currently holding elections for Freshman and Junior Reps.

VIII. HC Bulletin Board - Daphne noted that the Honor Council bulletin board (in the mailroom) has been taken over by general postings. She would like to make a bigger sign and mark off the area so that our bulletin board can be as helpful and informative as SC's is. Anthony offered to help.

IX. Surprise Special Guest - ALESA Blanchard-Nelson, Vice-President of SC, arrived to introduce the idea of SC re-running the Secretary election with the upcoming Honor Council Chair election. SC did not receive the necessary number of ballots back from the community, and thus last week's election was invalid. They needed 40% of the community to vote in order to make the election valid. ALESA left and Honor Council discussed this possibility. Morgan will speak with Kevin Joseph, SC President, before Honor Council reaches a decision. Either way, the Honor Council Chair election will be run by the schedule outlined under Section V.
