Officers' reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SVP (Cathy): ESP right now needs people for envelope stuffing. They
are in W20-469. They promise to feed anyone who has time to
collate. Chapter Weekend II is this weekend. If anyone who is
not signed up is interested in going, talk to Marcus. George's
Island project happened last Saturday. We got really wet. Harry
got to whip people. 15 people signed up, but only 9 came, which
is not so good. Shriner's Children's Hospital is a week from this
Friday, November 10. It's a school holiday. We will be playing
with children. Food Bank is the Saturday after that, and I still
need a PC. There is no project the weekend of Thanksgiving.
December 2, there is a project at Sojourner House. It's a shelter
in Roxbury. And it's never too soon to volunteer to PC After
Finals in January over Martin Luther King, Jr. B-day weekend.
MVP (Kevin): For the last week and a half I have been talking to
each pledge individually. I only have one more person to talk
to. I've received a lot of suggestions, but the only things that
need to mentioned and addressed immediately and that most
pledges are really happy, but some PCs are still blowing off
the phone calling part which is bad. For upcoming stuff, there
will be another treasurer training seminar the weekend before
Thanksgiving. I'll be teaching it.
AVP (Karen): nothing to report
Treasurer (Alexis): Besides having apple stuck to my face, nothing
to report.
FC (Jeffrey): Sorry that I am again not at the meeting again, but I
really need to work on my problem sets tonite and hopefully I
can unhose myself real soon now. As a small side note, I was
interviewed by the Tech for UMOC. I hope that everything I
told them was correct, as it I told them what I thought was
correct. I also told them that the UMOC committee would be
reviewing what they did with the prize money, as I knew it was
being discussed. Back to Fellowship. I am still hosed from my
cold, and I think I am a little depressed at being so hosed. I
just want to get through the term and do ok in my classes. I
think I will try to have a study break next week, just as it seems
like another good time for a study break. Lets call it a tentative
Thursday at 7pm in the Office. I will try to have the next study
break in someplace more exciting. I guess that's all for now.
YiLFS, Jeffrey
APOcEd (Chris): No APOc this week. It will come out next chapter
meeting. What everyone can do is write candidate articles - next
chapter meeting is nominations meeting.
ASC (Ari): I bought Post It notes.
PubDir (Susan): not present
Historian (Bob): not present
Advisory Comm. Chair (Joe): nothing to report
President (Harry): Conclave is happening in two weeks. Since only
two actives are going to it, we don't have to vote to elect the
two voting delegates.
Committee reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UMOC
Ingrid: UMOC happened, and thank God it's over. We raised a lot
of money. I think now would be an appropriate time to discuss
whether we should divide the money or not. According to the
rules, the winner's charity will get all the money.
Alexis: Hope you don't mind me asking, but why would we split it?
Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades...and Baci
Ball.
Charley: [to summarize] We can't really change the rules now.
Jill: Isn't the only reason we would divide the money would be to
please the candidates? Steve Jens was quoted in the Tech as re-
ally interested in the title more than anything else, and I'm sure
he wouldn't mind which charity it goes to if it is a worthwhile
cause.
Charley: Besides that, the American Cancer Society isn't hurting. The
Food Bank is local and the money would be more significant to
them.
Jill: The Boston Food Bank is small.
Ingrid: So do we have any objections to NOT split it?
[No objection]
Sparky: Make sure the papers know about the donation.
Kate: This is a question to Alexis: Do you know is the Big Screw
check to the Boston Food Bank from last term was cashed?
[Don't know] If it hasn't, we can make a check out for one lump
sum.
Chris: In regard to Sparky's comment, the Tch probably won't care
about what charity we decided, since they just ran the article
about it today.
Richard: I think Sparky is talking more about a paper like the Globe.
MIT/Cambridge don't have the best relationship with Boston,
so any PR helps.
Old Business:

Announcements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cathy: Chapter Weekend II is this weekend. There are big spaces in
cars, because a few brothers have called and said they are hosed
and can't go. Let the PCs know by Thursday. It will be lots of
fun doing some construction stuff at Resolute.
Sparky: National Service Day is this Saturday. The PC should submit
something to the national office about what we did.
Glenn: The national office would love to have the publicity that we
are doing it as a part of their semester "theme."
PFTGOTO:
~~~~~~~
Charley: I only have one lab due this week.
Jill: All bike thieves will die.
Ari: In case you haven't noticed, I'm a pyrotechnic coat rack.
Cathy: I am not a pyrotechnic coat rack and that's my problem.
Richard: I only have three labs due this week.
Alexis: There's a party at Bexley and you're all invited.
Ingrid: My birthday will be over Chapter Weekend, but I won't be
going.
Harry [I think]: Happy Halloween!
Kevin: I only have one lab, but it's due sometime in 1997 but it's
REALLY LONG!
Kate: I've been going to random bank account meetings and it looks
as if we will be able to keep them.
someone: We could have a project for rebuilding Random.
Move to adjourn to a fellowship circle and standing vote at 8:06 pm.
