Proceedings

Dr. Dale Wilson called the meeting to order at 3:00.  He welcomed
everyone for the Fall Semester, 1999 and said he hopes for a
great year.  Introductions were made, and Dr. Wilson called
attention to the composition of the Administrative Council
membership saying that procedures for the Council were changed
during the March 31, 1999 meeting so that all members will be
voting members and that support and staff members have been added
to the membership from approval by the Council at the October 7,
1998 meeting.

Dr. Wilson said Dr. Evans Brown, the previous Chair of the
Administrative Council, will have a moderated schedule this
semester due to illness, so Dr. Linda Giesbrecht-Bettoli will be
taking his place on the Council for the 1999-2000 year.  

Approval of the Agenda

Dr. Cho MOVED approval of the Agenda with Dr. Schrader SECONDING. 
MOTION CARRIED.

Approval of the Minutes of March 31, 1999

Dr. Schrader MOVED approval of the Minutes of March 31, 1999 with
Dr. Cupp SECONDING.  MOTION CARRIED.

Informational Item - Recommendation from Buildings and Grounds
Concerning Placement
of Plaques of James Seay Brown and Wallace Prescott - Dr. Volpe

Dr. Volpe said he tentatively approved this recommendation from
Buildings and Grounds which was received this summer.  The
plaques would be like the one honoring President Emeritus Arliss
Roaden in the University Center.  The plaques would be ordered
and installed by Facilities personnel with Engineering providing
the funding for these two plaques.  Dr. Cho MOVED the motion and
added an amendment to include that plaques could be placed in any
building named for a person as funds are available. He
specifically mentioned Johnson Hall which was named for Dr. Louis
Johnson.  Dr. Wilson said the plaques cost approximately $l600. 
Dr. Schrader SECONDED the motion.  MOTION CARRIED.  Dr. Kemp said
Henderson Hall may not need one because it has a National
Register of Historical Places Plaque in that building.  He said
Henderson Hall is only one of two buildings on campus which
qualifies for this status.  At the suggestion of Dr. Schrader,
Dr. Nivens agreed to keep a record of which buildings on campus

have plaques and which do not in case someone should want to
raise money for a plaque.

Such Other Matters

Dr. Volpe said the final figures on enrollment indicate the
highest enrollment in the history of Tennessee Tech (8584).  FTE
was 7227 (ll6 more than last year).  The Graduate School was over
1500.  He said we had the highest increase in headcount of any of
the TBR universities for the 1999 Fall Semester.  

The meeting adjourned at 3:14 p.m.
