Hi all, sorry for the delay. I can assure you the minutes will not be late

Minutes of Chapter Meeting (September 6, 1995)
Administrative notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Start: 7:40 pm; End: 8:07 pm. Present: Harry, Karen, Charley, Junko,
Rachel, Ingrid, Alexis, Jeremy, Joe, Yale, Sparky, Cathy, Chris F.,
Elaine, Richard, Ari, and Dan (did I miss anyone?)
Officers' reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SVP (Cathy): There was an open project last weekend. Seven people
came. It was cool. Talbot House is this weekend. We will be
doing some painting and maintenance work. Gilbert is PC. Next
weekend we have a project cleaning up around Amory Woods.
Ingrid is PC for that. On the 23rd, I have a landscaping project
that needs a PC! Book Exchange is also going on now.
Introductions are done, because there are some new people (Ari and
Dan) at the meeting.
MVP (Kevin): (read by Karen) MVP Report. Hi. It's me, Kevin. I
got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, so I'm probably not here.
And if I am here, I probably don't feel like talking. So, here's
my report.
1. Open meetings: September 7 @ 7 pm in 8-205, and September 10
@ 7 pm in PDR-1. Please come! Meet prospectives!
2. Rush publicity: Thank you Cathy, Jeffrey, Susan, and Erin for
helping me with the drop poster. If you're feeling guilty about
not helping with the drop poster, there's something you can do
to make it better!
HANG FLYERS!!! There's a stack of them in the APO office on
the MVP desk. Well, unless someone was clever enough to bring
them to the meeting, in which case they are, well, here. Please
take some! Hang them!
3. Pledge manuals were edited over the summer and will be handed
out at Pledge ceremonies. (No, really, they will. I'm not kid-
ding.) I need the new addresses and phone numbers of all officers
to include in the manual.
4. IF YOU WANT TO BE A BIG BROTHER, TALK TO ME!!
If you're not sure what being a big brother involves, ask. If you're
not sure if you have time, talk to me and I'll help you decide.
5. Things seem to be going pretty good so far. We have a number
of neat prospective pledges. We could always use more! Tell your
friends about APO.
6. Congratulations on successfully reading reading my handwriting,
Karen. [Thanks, Kevin -Karen] Thanks everyone! Bye!
AVP (Karen): I'm passing a sheet around that is the call list for
projects, etc., from last term. Please write down your new phone
number on it. Thanks. Nothing else much to report. If you need
anything reserved or updated, let me know.
Treasurer (Jennifer): not present
FC (Jeffrey): not present
APOcEd (Chris): I failed. I didn't get an Apoc out for this evening's
meeting. I will have one next week for sure. Write articles!
Advisory Comm. Chair (Joe): Nothing to report except we're
looking for advisors.
President (Harry): I don't have much to report. I hope we have a
good year. Welcome back, everybody.
Committee reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coke Chair (Rachel): I have had some requests that we have cream
soda in the office. Since I don't like cream soda myself, I don't
want to add it to the "chance" category, so my suggestion is that
we make the orange soda into "Community Chest" with orange
and cream soda together. What do you think?
Discussion on who likes what and where to put cream soda.
Rachel: So I take it that mass confusion reigns and I can declare what
I want.
Old Business:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Junior Officer elections
Nominations:
ASC: Alexis
PubDir:
Historian: Charley
Point of information: Are there enough brothers for a quorum here?
13. That's enough.
Charley: I move that we table the elections to next chapter meeting.
Seconded.
Vote: Aye - many, Nay - none, Abstain - none Motion passes.
New Business:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
none
Announcements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alexis: Book Exchange is going on. Please sign up.
Junko: Reg Day happened. We worked around 200 hours altogether
which is pretty good. Thanks to everybody who worked.
Rachel: There have been mumblings about rearranging the office to
make more room to move the cart around. Is anything being
done about that?
(Not really)
Richard: I set up two email lists for the summer. One was for discus-
sion about changing the APO calendar so that elections of all
officers, including junior officers, are held at the same time in
the semester. I forget what the other one was for. Please feel
free to start discussion concerning this topic; I can add you to
the list, etc.
Cathy: I still need someone to PC the upcoming project to the zoo. I
know you REALLY want to PC this.
Ingrid: I have a project, too. ET people especially want to do this
project, because Amory Woods is nearby and is some disrepair.
We will be doing some landscaping and cleaning. Please sign
up.
PFTGOTO:
~~~~~~~
Alexis: My HASS is really cool.
Ari: Hi, nice to meet you.
Gilbert: Make sure you sign up for the Talbot House project. People
can come up as early as Friday evening.
New Business at the last minute:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry: Maybe Yale or Joe would know this : :I:s there any proper
procedure to accept transfer brothers into the chapter?
Yale: A transfer brother can be accepted into the chapter with a
majority vote of active brothers if at least a quorum is present.
Harry: We have two new MIT graduate students from other chapters
who would like to be accepted into our chapter, Ari and Dan.
Ari and Dan leave the room, discussion and a vote for each. Both voted
in.
Some background info: Ari is from Case Western Reserve University
chapter. Dan is from Emory.
They come back to the room.
Harry: Welcome to the chapter. Any more PFTGOTOs?
Meeting adjourned at 8:07 pm.
