of the item Chenoweth was congratulated for accepting the position of Senate President

vacancy occurring between election and the beginning of the term of office is unprecedented
and unanticipated by the standard procedures of the organization. At the end of the
discussion the group decided to offer the Vice President position to Dan Mitchell
for the summer with a decision about the remainder of the 2007-2008 term scheduled
for the beginning of Fall 2007.
