Hi Brothers,
I plowed through all the correspondence on Saturday's clean-out activities =
and would like to ask whether there is a plan addressing various issues tha=
t came up in the correspondence a swell as others that have occurred to me:
1. Has AX's space in 415 been assigned to another group?=C2=A0 If so, by wh=
at date do they expect to be able to occupy it?=C2=A0 We should not expect =
much patience once that date arrives, and it seems possible, if not likely,=
that access to the room may be lost by canceling the access list, changing=
a combination, or even changing the key.=C2=A0 Once that happens, it is li=
kely that ASA or CAC admins will send in Physical Plant (or whatever it is =
called in 2019) to clean out AX's "stuff."=C2=A0 What happens to it if they=
do?
2. Len appears to be under the impression that the Letter Press can remain =
where it is, along with at some subset of the tools, for another few months=
.=C2=A0 Does AX or Len have permission for this?=C2=A0 Is there a place to =
which the Press can be moved?=C2=A0 Is there a plan for how to move it?=C2=
=A0 I ask the last item because I participated in dragging the press into 4=
15.=C2=A0 At the time, there was a large number of young men to work on thi=
s; everyone who did so is now on Medicare and even working together we migh=
t not be physically able to move it.
3. What will happen to the various kinds of memorabilia?=C2=A0 Small stuff =
may be simple, but how about the giant screw?=C2=A0 The poster collection?=
=C2=A0 Has anyone spoken with MIT archives about holding material of histor=
ical significance?=C2=A0 I recall a query about the comic books; has that b=
een addressed?
4. Will the other materials, tools, cabinets, dexion, etc. be given away?=
=C2=A0 =C2=A0Do we have someone who will take/receive them?=C2=A0 If not, w=
hat is the plan for storing them and for what purpose and for how long?=C2=
=A0 If we don't give the stuff away or store it, is there a plan to dispose=
of it?
5. Do we have a plan for re-establishing the Chapter in a form that would m=
ake reclaiming any of these items both desirable and feasible?=C2=A0 A retu=
rn to 415 is probably not in the cards; is there, even potentially, another=
space that would permit reclaiming any of the various items now being inve=
ntoried?
I'm sure there are other issues I haven't thought about.=C2=A0 If there is =
a plan for addressing these issues, I suspect those who read these messages=
would like to hear it.=C2=A0 If not, then maybe we should come up with one=

<div>I plowed through all the correspondence on Saturday's clean-out activities and would like to ask whether there is a plan addressing various issues that came up in the correspondence a swell as others that have occurred to me:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>1. Has AX's space in 415 been assigned to another group? If so, by what date do they expect to be able to occupy it? We should not expect much patience once that date arrives, and it seems possible, if not likely, that access to the room may be lost by canceling the access list, changing a combination, or even changing the key. Once that happens, it is likely that ASA or CAC admins will send in Physical Plant (or whatever it is called in 2019) to clean out AX's "stuff." What happens to it if they do?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>2. Len appears to be under the impression that the Letter Press can remain where it is, along with at some subset of the tools, for another few months. Does AX or Len have permission for this? Is there a place to which the Press can be moved? Is there a plan for how to move it? I ask the last item because I participated in dragging the press into 415. At the time, there was a large number of young men to work on this; everyone who did so is now on Medicare and even working together we might not be physically able to move it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>3. What will happen to the various kinds of memorabilia? Small stuff may be simple, but how about the giant screw? The poster collection? Has anyone spoken with MIT archives about holding material of historical significance? I recall a query about the comic books; has that been addressed?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>4. Will the other materials, tools, cabinets, dexion, etc. be given away? Do we have someone who will take/receive them? If not, what is the plan for storing them and for what purpose and for how long? If we don't give the stuff away or store it, is there a plan to dispose of it?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>5. Do we have a plan for re-establishing the Chapter in a form that would make reclaiming any of these items both desirable and feasible? A return to 415 is probably not in the cards; is there, even potentially, another space that would permit reclaiming any of the various items now being inventoried?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I'm sure there are other issues I haven't thought about. If there is a plan for addressing these issues, I suspect those who read these messages would like to hear it. If not, then maybe we should come up with one.</div>
