How do people feel about the following dates-
April 13, April 19, May 11 I will pick one and announce it later.
I am planning several other study breaks during the term. Current dates
are- April 13 (post-Screw setup)
April 28, May 11, some time during Finals Week
-I am planning to have people get together/submit a survey and let me
know how active they think they were, why; how active they wanted to
be, why;and what factors influence these data some time before the end
of the term. People have commented that there is a large amount of
flake-age and much apathy in attendace. I want to know why so it can
be resolved. Recent Accomplishment s-
- Pizza & Shakespeare happened last Friday. Thanks to all who came.
People I talked to said they had fun.
- BB/LB Study Break happened. People seemed to enjoy themselves.
The passing of the candle was less successful than I had hoped, but it
partially achieved the goal. However, Michael informs me there is only
one pledge with a big brother, so the study break didn't achieve its overall
purpose well. also, SIPB is having a trip this Saturday to the Museum
of Science.

morrow.

register with a $10 late fee, but need to talk to me now.
