Hi everyone, here are some things to think about for the Beta Zeta meeting next week, Wednesday at Noon.
-Beta Zeta Executive Committee

In this email:
* Dues
* SAC funding for travel to GSA
* Call for submissions to The Compass
* Call for submissions to the newsletter
* Call for committee chairs
* Travel to Sigma Gamma Epsilon National meeting
* Research posters

******Dues******
Current members of Beta Zeta Chapter of SIgma Gamma Epsilon need to pay DUES for the next year! Pay dues to Matt Burton-Kelly. There are NO local dues, just national dues.

New members: $40 (includes initiation fees)
Old members: $15




******SAC funding for travel to GSA******
We're going to try to get SAC funding for travel to GSA in October. If you are interested in going to GSA, show up to the planning meeting THIS FRIDAY (Sep 14th) at NOON in the AUG lounge.





******Call for submissions to The Compass******
We're going to try to submit an issue of The Compass by the end of the calendar year. The way it generally works is to get a bunch of papers and submit them together, so then they can be published together with our name (Beta Zeta Chapter) on the issue.

Anything you want to submit that is research related would be acceptable, including senior research and revised term papers. Questions? See Matt Burton-Kelly ( matthew.burton.kelly@und.nodak.edu).

The deadline is set for Wednesday, November 21st. This is right before Thanksgiving break.




******Call for newsletter submissions******
If you did anything over the past year, we want to hear about it! We're working on a newsletter for the students, which will also be distributed to intro classes and labs in order to increase interest and participation in AUG and SGE.

We have the ability to do full-color photos as well as text, so anything is acceptable, even abstracts with diagrams.
Please submit what you have ASAP to Matt Belobraydic ( matthew.belobraydic@und.nodak.edu).




******Call for committee chairs******
The following committees are to be formed. If you would like to chair or serve on a committee, please talk to Matt Belobraydic. Remember, the execs can't do everything!

1. Newsletter. To produce a multipage (monthly?) newsletter that covers student activities, departmental happenings, and upcoming AUG and SGE events.

2. T-Shirts. To deal with all things t-shirt, including design, sales, ordering and distribution.

3. Winter Banquet. To organize the Winter Banquet, including food, drinks, venue, promotion etc.




******Sigma Gamma Epsilon National Meeting******
The Sigma Gamma Epsilon National meeting will be held in Iowa from October 19th-21st. We would like to send at least one delegate to represent the newly revitalized Beta Zeta chapter. If you are interested in this, please talk to one of the executive committee members.




******Research Posters******
Thanks to Dr. Hartman, we will soon have bulletin board strips in the basement (dungeon) hallway of Leonard to hang our research posters up on. If you've got one to show off, hang it up! Also, if you have recently done an oral presentation rather than a poster, you can print your slides (or a selection of them) off on poster paper and have it covered by GGE. For more information, talk to Joe Hartman ( joseph_hartman@und.edu).
