Urban Gardeners again it was really cool. Chapter Weekend II
is this weekend, Chapter Skills Weekend is next weekend, and
the leadership workshop is the following weekend.
MVP (Ari): Richard ran a study break on sunday and it was cool.
I am meeting with pledges this week. If you are a big brother
and your little hasn't talked to me bug them. John Federovich
has left the Institute. If people want another Memcom meeting
they should talk to me about it.
AVP (Jeffrey): Sorry that the minutes have not come out yet, but I
have been really hosed but I will be less hosed for a little while.
The minutes from the last few meetings are now typed up and
I will be sending them out tomorrow. Whoever is my successor
gets the little part of my job that I didn't get around to: the
Database.
Treasurer (John): Fincomm meeeting will discuss our accounts. The
meeting will be Tuesday, November 12th at 6:30 in the APO
Office. If you have any ideas of what to do with the money in
the accounts, please talk to me. If you need money from me
quickly, please send me mail, as I only come into the office to do
accounting about once a week.
FC (Ingrid): There was a study break on sunday.
Cathy: SFF is on November 16th. It is in 26-110. It is really cool. Its
at 8pm, come and go as you wish. Please sign up so we know
how much food to get. Please bring CD's (and label them). If no
one brings CD's, we will listen to Cathy's CD all night. Indicate
how many guests you intend to bring.
Ingrid: We inivited all the chapters of section 96 at conclave to SFF.
I Banquet is coming up. Bubble wrap study break needs PC's
and bubble wrap.
APOcEd (Hannah): So, I was going to send out an apoc, but nobody
wrote articles, so you all suck. I better get articles or the next
apoc will be minutes and my thesis.
ASC (Lizzie): More as a Book Exchange thing, it only took 13 days
to get all the books from book exchange out of the office.
PubDir (Carolyn): Still working on the Infinite Corridor Board. We
have a plan though and we shall be implementing it really soon.
Historian (Charley): I got the pictures back from Clark development
and they really suck. The bylaws amendment is being voted on
tonite, and afterwards I will be soliciting members. I am labeling
photos to make my successor's life easier.
SVP (Alexis): Splash nees us to stuff more envelopes.
Charley: Actually, I talked to Nick and what Splash needs is more bod-
ies to actually run Splash. That would be on Saturday November
23, 8:00 am.
Advisory Comm. Chair (Joe): Nothing to Report
President (Emily): Coming up in the meeting today is the bylaws
amendments, the nationals voting delegates, nominations, and
carnival stuff. Everyone should run for an office.
Committee reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Roberts Rules of Order Comm (Ari): I have a new version of the
Robert's Rules with typo's fixed. Someone mentioned that we don't
have a way to end discussion.
Chapter Weekend II (Gina): Everyone sign up. We would like to
have everyone go so it would be more fun. We will be chopping down
trees and other fun destructive things like that.
Bani: If you haven't said when you want to go, I am assuming that
you want to go up on Friday.
Alexis: I want to thank the pledges for working so hard on Chapter
Weekend II.
Conclave (Cathy & Harry): We went, it was ok. We got another
award for membership. Wellseley died because the school did not want
a fraternity on campus. We already have the packet for next Conclave,
April 11-13 at University of New Hampshire. The Conclave in the Fall
will be at the University of Vermont.

about $30. The tech called me and there will be an article soon. Thanks
to those who helped me run it.

White Balloted
Carnival (Oscar): [NOTE: There was quite a bit of discussion on the
second mailing and the budget, and the chapter generally found a lot
of mistakes and confusing items in them, due in part to the fact that
there was some miscommunications between the members of Carnival

moved to the following Exec Comm]

~~~~~~~
Charley: I regret to inform the chapter that Clinton won.
Ingrid: My 21st birthday was yesterday. I got to spend it at LSC
elections. In Central Square that morning I bought a bottle of
Jack Daniels. When I got to campus, I dumped it out and rinsed
out the bottle. Then I bought some Snapple raspberry iced tea
at LaVerde's and put it in the bottle. I took the Jack Daniels
to the LSC meeting and proceeded to drink it (a shot at a time)
throughout the elections meeting. A shot after a particularly
bad discussion or a worrisome vote.... It was fun.
Chris Falling: Meetings before an exam just suck. I have the budget
and if people have ideas about it, talk to me.
Michael: Don't carry tools into a meeting. Its very distracting.
Brian: The new Star Wars movies will be released January 31st, Febru-
ary 20th, and March 7th.

Ingrid: Don't rush out to see the Star Wars movies. Go to LSC to see
them.
