2. Discussion/Vote on Criteria for Athletic-Academic Achievement Awards. The Committee continued this discussion and reinforced its desire to change the criteria to some cumulative grade point average. Since time is short for this year, it was agreed to continue the current criteria for 1998-99. A subcommittee of S.Hardy, C. Sanborn, G. Carey, and M. Souza will meet to draft new criteria that use a cumulative grade point average as a core principle.

3. Discussion/Vote on revised Mission statement for Athletics After extended discussion on paragraph structure and nuance of language, the Committee agreed on a revised Mission Statement, which will be sent to the President for her approval.

4. Mike Souza conveyed the sentiment of a recent SAAC meeting that winter sports teams would like to pursue the possibility of a five-day break from practice and games at some point around the Holidays. The Committee began that discussion and agreed to revisit it at a later meeting.

The meeting adjourned at 2pm.
