Officers' reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SVP (Alexis): Thanks to all pledges PCing things. If you are a PC
(whether pledge or brother) remember to consider ahead of time
what advance preparation will be needed for the project. Chap-
ter Weekend 1.5 is this weekend. (PC: Heather) Next weekend
will be Rosie's Place (PC: Tuknekah) and at some point later
will be George's Island (PC: Jonna?) Remember to consult the
mentor list in the office. Also, TCA wants us to poster for Blood
Drive this week and possibly man the table. It needs immediate
attention. Anyone want to PC it?
David: (volunteers)
MVP (Ari): (Passes out pledge interview requirement.) Second pledge
meeting, version 1 occurred. Version 2 will be Sunday. APOlympics
will be on the 19th at 5 or 6 pm. It is a big / little sort of
event. Events may include three-legged race, Trivial Pursuit,
and something on crutches. We got an award from Nationals
for increasing our membership by 5 or more last term. Also, we
have something else. (Passes out some shingles from 1994 and
1995.)
AVP (Jeffrey): (Not present) Nothing to report.
Treasurer (John): If you haven't paid your dues, now would be a
good time.
FC (Ingrid): Steak Fry is at New House 4 on October 26th. Conclave
and the Epsilon Theta Halloween party are on the following
weekend. Conclave will be cool. You should go. SFF is the
Saturday that is the 16th of November. If you have suggestions
for a location that we haven't considered, please let us know.
PCs are Cathy and Ryan. Also, two weeks ago we did a "Do a
Nice Thing" thing. Do people want to do it again?
Straw Poll: General consensus is yes.
(Slips of paper are distributed, filled out, and collected.)
Alexis: I made a bag of candy for Harry, and my cat ate it.
APOcEd (Hannah): Deadline for regular submissions and poetry
contest is this Friday.
ASC (Lizzie): Nothing to report.
PubDir (Carolyn): (Not present)
Historian (Charley): (Not present) (in absentia:)
I am processing four rolls of film at Clarke Color Labs, a local
developer. It may cost far less than sending film out of state.
Advisory Comm. Chair (Joe): (Not present)
President (Emily): Conclave is coming up _ the invitation has fi-
nally arrived. Not much is planned for Friday evening at Con-
clave. Saturday morning there will be three service projects, an

The total cost is $25 (cheap). It is in Maine, November 1-3. I
will be submitting listings for one Open Meeting and AFterfinals
to the IAP Guide.
Committee reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Memcomm (Ari): We will meet if anyone expresses such a desire.
UMOC (Brian): UMOC is happening. Postering has started. If
you know someone who should run, tell them so. Sign up for hours, set
up, and tear down. We have a candidate. Jill has submitted a written
version of this report which is available.
ArcCommComm (Charley): Proposed Amendment read into the
minutes: Archives Committee. The Historian shall serve as chair-
man of the Archives Committee. The duties of this committee shall
be
o To establish standards for the archiving of historical documents.
o To maintain archives of minutes, newsletters, event reports, and
photographs.
o To maintain the scrapbooks and picture board.
o To ensure that adequate supplies of film and other archival ma-
terials are maintained in the historian's supplies.
o To make a full report to the succeeding committee which shall
include both reports on the individual policies and procedures,
and an evaluation of the entire term's accomplishments.

"Tool Talk" presentation by Michael.
[Discussion of Charley's proposal to allocate an addition $50 for the
Historian's budget this term]
Charley: I was told at last meeting that $81 had been spent in the
Historian's budget.
John: Most of that may be from last term's spending, although it did
come from this term's budget.
Charley: My intention is to take $50 from the "Miscellaneous" line
item, which currently has $200. I will use this mainly for de-
veloping. I have investigated less expensive developers, so $50
should go pretty far.
Move to add $50 to Historian's Budget from budget item "Miscella-
neous"
Ari: $50 is cool, but perhaps it should just be randomly allocated,
rather than coming from "Miscellaneous"
[Note: After a bit of discussion, everyone agreed that it makes little
difference.]
Ingrid: Clarify the motion, please.
Ingrid: (calls the question)
Yes - 11, No - 0, Abstain - 0
Ingrid: Richard has a motion that he would like us to look at. It hangs
in the office. Discuss it with him and other people.
Announcements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jim: Thanks to those who have signed up : :P:hone calling will take
place in the near future.
Matt: Tentative driving schedule soon. Drivers definitely exist.
Charley: I intend to bring up next week the amendment which was
read into the minutes today. Copies exist: in the minutes, on-
line, and on the discussion board. Voting on the amendment is
intended to take place not at the next chapter meeting, but at
the meeting following that.
Alexis: Projects coming up include: Blood Drive, Chapter Weekend
1.5, Saturday Projects, Sunday Projects, et cetera. See David
to help with the Blood Drive.
Emily: People should go to Conclave. People should go to Nationals.
If there are any questions, talk to me.
PFTGOTO:
~~~~~~~
Charley: Thesis sucks, no matter what you call it.
Alexis: Thesis sucks more when you have fifteen minutes to present
the whole thing.
Elaine: Thesis sucks even more when you have to present the whole
thing in fifteen minutes, and can't say what it's about.
Ari: <meta-point>
[Sorry, that one went right over my head.]
Alexis: Lunch at Aramark.
Glenn: I just took up candlemaking as a hobby. If any of you burning
your candles at both ends have any wax left over, feel free to give me
some.
Jim: I got a UROP at the AI Lab today.
Matt: Chris, Yale, Ira, Sparky, and John are my favorite people.
Cathy: Only 5 errors detected in compilation of scan.C!
Ingrid: I don't have to write a thesis for a looong time. I'd like to see
Jim and Cathy after the meeting. Richard doesn't know.
David: Frosh clue > 0 : :I:f it 9 it would be a nice thing.
Alexis: In my UROP we put powder and liquid N2 in a bowl and it
went "swwoooeshhh." Then we freeze-dried it.
