"Met" Minutes

Good evening!!

I haven't had time to post this week, but we have some very important updates.

We have reached that time of year when we will begin reviewing submissions for the 2007 edition of Metamorphoses. As of midnight last night (February 28, 2007) We are no longer accepting submissions for this particular issue, and hopefully this coming Tuesday we will have them edited to a workable format to begin reviewing.

As with all growing and developing projects, we generally hope to make at least one improvement to this publication every issue. Unfortunately, due to some funding conflicts, it looks like not only are we not going to be able to improve, but me may very possibly have to take a step back. We are, as a group, very dissapointed, but are not discouraged. It looks like we are, in fact, funded, so that's one issue down. We hope to have these conflicts settled in time to make some improvements to the next issue. We may have to print in house this year, which means the binding will be of a lesser quality than was last year's, and we are also being limited to student, faculty, and alumn submissions.

However, so far this year, we have had a lot of online activity and support and are considering online publication of the some of the great art and literary work that we have recieved from all over the world. Hopefully we will have some more good news to share once we begin reviewing the work.

I have gotten the Myspace page up and running. I am still making changes to the general page setup and everything but you can go check it out. I posted one of my submissions as the photo, just to have something there, but if anyone has any pictures thay would like to have displayed on the page, email them to me or talk to me.

Thanks for reading and have a great week!
