~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Service Committee: we met. Evaluation should be tweaked but
nothing new came up. We though about the fourfold program
of service
Carnival: about 4-5 boohts , a couple of performance groups will be
there. we're probably getting money from the provost. things
generally going well.

an LSC slide, but other publicity may or may not exist. Matt
wants you to dig up candidates

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
none
New Business:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John Kohl: we're planning a spring reception for graduates and their
families.
Conclave- Ingrid: the people who were going to hold next term's
conclave cannot. we're considering trying to do it in their place.
Cathy: we should be able to use on-campus facilities for most stuff.
There's generally a party; mit catering can do that.
Alexis: we're asking the athletic department to let people sleep on cots
or in sleeping bags in the gym; it'll probably work. close hotels
are too expensive. we need 15 positive votes.
Cathy: we looked into getting a hostel, it'll cost $12 per person per
night and a service project. we could stick a few people in
brother's bouses but that's not a solution.
Alexis: nobody else is considering a bid. It'll be november 14-16.
we've reserved rooms.

12 people

Alexis: conclave this weekend. Richard Donovan is running for sec-
tional chair, along with steve miller and jeff carson.
Charley: there will be quorum
David: we need to approve the big screw rules
Ari: we should say what we do with foreign objects; UMOC rules made
them property of AXcoAPO (accepted as a friendly ammend-
ment)

Book Exchange-
Cathy: we have about $2500. Some will mail the remaining books to
kentucky, to help a flooded town whose library was destroyed.
we can make lots of little contributions or one big one.
Charley: national braille press or Project Literacy US would work as
would the ADult Reading Foundation.
Cathy: books are going to Falmouth , KY. and Rosies' places. Serv-
comm came up with local libraries/schools as possible donation
recipients. This could be attached to a service project
Ari: the $ doesn't have to be attached to book-related things
(more discussion...cathy will look into more donation sites and report
back at the 4/23 chapter meeting)

hose the chapter, and to wait for confirmed housing before bidding)
