• 1) Both students and faculty want to do this again as an annual event;
• 2) Dr. Eisen spoke with Mike Nienaber, coach of the men's basketball team, and he is amenable to having the game as an annual event, but he would prefer the game to be held BEFORE Fall Break.  The reason is that NCAA regulations specify that practices cannot start until mid-October.  Mike would rather schedule the game when we wouldn't be rushed in between practices for the women's and men's teams, as we were this time.  Perhaps two weeks before Fall Break might be best;
• 3) Dr. Eisen would like to make official presentations of the checks to Brother Mark Snodgrass, Principal of De La Salle School at Blessed Sacrament, and to someone official at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  The CBU Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society will be at De La Salle School on Wednesday 8 November 2000 to do a demonstration for National Chemistry Week.  That might be an appropriate day to make an official presentation of the check for donations received during the charity basketball game. IF you are interested in visiting the school and participating in the official presentation, PLEASE contact Dr. Eisen seisen@cbu.edu. 
• 4) Some students feel that the person who kept score awarded the faculty with more than one 4-point play.  When the scorekeeper was asked about this, he said, "No comment." :-)

• Many thanks to all who played and attended.
