Morris said that the Institute's goal should be to make each of the
lesser monetary awards at least $1,000 each, and that the goal should be to
endow all awards for at least $15,000.
Smith said that, incidentally, the Helen C. Smith Memorial Award for
Poetry, funded by his father, would be increased next year from $1,000 to
$1,200.
Continuing a discussion that began at the April meeting, Vick asked
about the progress of the TIL website, being transferred from West Texas
A&M University to Lamar State University. She asked if the Council would
like to vote on developing its own website. After considerable discussion,
in which councilors agreed that its own website would be best, Vick asked
Morris to set up a committee to explore such development.
In the meantime, the website, now being redeveloped by Jerry Craven
at Lamar, would continue there until the question is resolved.
Vick also suggested that a permanent office is needed to store TIL
records. Reynolds suggested a library of books that have won TIL awards
over the years. Vick asked Reynolds to talk with former Councilor Dick
Holland and come up with a plan to accumulate those books and a place
to put them.
Vick next asked for Councilors to offer nominations for new
members. No streamlined method has been discovered for reducing
paperwork on nominations, she said.
Nominations should consist of 1) A nominating essay which should
include a resume of the nominee's career, 2) a seconding letter, 3) 15 pages
of the nominee's work which may come from one or more writings.
These nominations should be sent to the vice president:
Paula Marks, Box 935, St. Edward's University, 3001S. Congress,
Austin TX 78704.
Seconding letters may be e-mailed to Marks at
paulam@stedwards.edu
The following nominees were offered, with nominators and
seconders, when known, following each name:
1. Willard Spiegelman ( Hoggard, Woolley)
2. Evangelina Vigil (Rodenberger, ?)
3. Kent Biffle (Compton, Payne)
4. Bill Gray (Reynolds, Carlton Stowers)
5. Ken Davis (Reynolds, Sanderson)
6. Andres Tijerina (Marks, Morris)
7. David Doro (Woolley, ?)
