Old Business:

Mary Pridgen stated that the Physiology web page is now "Bobby Certified".

New Business: 

1.  Photo for Main Page - Everyone agreed to have rotating photos of graduation for the next week.
2.

Jill Lenz felt that a style manual and cascading style sheets should be implemented.  John Chandler added that, in order to appear the same in Netscape and Internet Explorer, absolutes should be used for fonts, etc.  It was suggested that perhaps a "search" feature be created by Joe Strecker for the web page.  Mary Pridgen asked committee members to list all they wanted incorporated into the new web design and then have a volunteer compose the web page.  Jill Lenz will work on the web page and would appreciate input from committee members.  The committee decided on the following:

         a. A menu driven page
         b. Arial font
         c. Top navigation bar
         d. Legible text
         e. Dark text, light background
         f. Shortened page
         g. Consistent university colors; links - green; visited links - dull green
         h. Mouseovers with fly-out menus and dynamic links
         i. Separate the CVMBS and CSU logos (small logo?)
         j. White background
         k. Photo images

3. The committee reviewed the sample page created by Jill Lenz and John Chandler.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 a.m.  The next meeting time will be changed, due to a schedule conflict for Jill and the equipment availability. Date, time and location will be emailed to the Listserv when determined.
