Hi. For those who don't know me, my name is Mark Herschberg. For
the past two years I served on the R/O Committee. This year I am
once again helping out by serving on the Project MOYA / R/O Councilor
Subcommittee. However, I am the only person on the subcommittee and
need help!
Here's how R/O is run. There are three paid interns who oversee
everything going on during R/O. There's the R/O Committee made up
of volunteers who are broken up into subcommittees. Each
subcommittee then runs, using R/O workers, their specific activities.
Most everything that's needed to be done is laid out in last
year's report, but it's a lot for one person to do. There are
subcommittee meetings every week (lasting about an hour) and R/O
Committee meetings every other week lasting about 1.5 hours. Figure
about 3 hours a week of work on averge (more during R/O week,
though).
In addition to feeling good for helping out MIT, you also get
free food at R/O Committee meetings, a free T-shirt, and you get to
play with the freshmen at all the R/O events. It's a lot of fun.
Note that if you are signed up to be an Project MOYA leader, or
have a major committeement during week freshmen come up, then you
probably don't have enough time to do this, things get busy during
those last few days.
If you want more infromation or are interested in joining, please
contact me: hershey@mit.edu, 267-4935 ex. 35, or stop by 7-103 and
talk to one of the interns.
On a final note, we need a really cool end to Project MOYA. In
the past we've done the lap sit, then we made the lap sit circle
walk, then we did a lap sit "97," and then last year we sang a song-
which everyone thought was a lame ending. This year we want to do
something big and spectacular. If you have any ideas, please feel
free to send them to me. Remember that it must be something 120
upperclassmen can organize the (approx.) 1100 freshmen into, within
about 20 minutes.
Thanks for your help.
