Administrative notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Start: 7:30 pm; End: 8:45pm. Present: Yale, Richard Barbalace,
Sparky, Juliana, Kate, Teresa, Chris Falling, Elaine, Jeremy, Charley,
Rachel, Dave Cho, Henning, Ping, Cathy, Gilbert, Amy
Officers' reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
President (Kate): There are only 5 people going to Conclave at
Farmington, Maine currently. Cost is $30, but as a general rule,
if money is problem, there're subsidies available. Let me know
if you want to go. Same with National.
I want to have 2 open meetings (Thur 1/26 8:30pm and Sun
1/29 at 5pm unless anyone objects) and 1 open project during
IAP.
MVP (Dave): There was a pledge today. The pledge meetings on
Tue. at 6pm and on Thur. at 9pm are identical. Just go to one.
Remind your littles of the $13 pledge fees. Let me know if you
can't make the meeting [applies to pledges and bb's]
Chris is working on Pledge service project. Hopefully pledge
fellowship event is also going.
I'd like to have a meeting with all big-brothers next week to
discuss pledges' progress and problems.
SVP (Barbara): Halloween Party project this Sat. (10/29) Slight
correction: group is leaving (not meeting) at 8am from office
to catch the 9am ferry. [You don't want to swim to George's
Island]
UMOC goes well. There were 2 candidates campaigning in front
of booth.
AVP (Gilbert): Trying to put together the next WUAPO. Need event
details from Barbara and Rachel.
Treasurer (Henning): There was no error in money counting for
UMOC. I'll go do night deposits shortly.
FC (Rachel): Study break at 9:30pm Thursday at Lobby 6 (where
bubble machine is.) Semi-formal Formal is 9pm at McCormick.
APOcEd (bert): not present [Deadline for next issue: Sunday evening]
PubDir (Charley): Messed up drop poster forms (but still usable.)
[Ask Charley for more]
Historian (Richard): Developed photos (of pledges). Touch them
only with clean hands.
Committee reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UMOC (Richard): received $219.48 so far but missing $6.50 [seemed
to have been corrected by Henning]
There was a non-student wanting to run for UMOC, but rules
only allow him to run as a hack/write-in candidate (he can't
win.) This might be unfair to student candidates because he
might have more money.
Chris noted that lots of freshmen don't know what UMOC is.
They will learn.
"Spontaneous" end-of-UMOC fellowship event at 4pm on Friday.
Silkscreening (Rachel): Did 1-Damn-Project shirts. Those who helped
got first shot - let me know if you want any. Will do more shirts
in the future.
Barbara: Interested in being Tools/Safety chair? Let me know, hope-
fully before next term.
Legislation (Dave): Ping and I are still going through the packet. Will
spend 20 mins. at Chapter Meeting to bring up the issues.
Should pledges be allowed to vote for legislation issues? They
are affected also.
Kate: Meeting seems to agree that pledges should be able to vote. We
might want to make this a standing policy.
Suggestion Box:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cathy: still working on trash can that Henning requested.
1. Should have a hole/slot on suggestion box
Resolution: straw poll: 4-3 (let's not brutally slit the box.)
2. Should have a quote page in A Pack of Lies (section of alum
newsletter that emphasizes creative humor rather than truth)
Resolution: Feel free to use creativity and humor in writing arti-
cles to Apoc.
3. Food PC (from chapter weekend) should remember that vegetar-
ians exist!
4. Should make shirts of small sizes for alumni's kids.
New Business:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kate: What are possible topics for Chapter Program Planning Con-
ference (CPPC)?
1. Finance: formulate action plan for the future (Should start think-
ing about solutions now. Problem: Not many people know enough
about chapter finance to discuss.)
2. Service program: ways to improve. Also project attendance.
3. Legislation stuff.
4. Communication between officers.
5. Chapter image.
6. What to do about 60th aniversary of chapter.
7. Lack of people to run for office (including various chairs).
Meeting: We need a fellowship event with structure to it. Maybe we
could reassure each other of what's done right instead of always
finding what's wrong.
We have a problem of bringing up relevant topics to discuss but
wind up not discussing them (as in an election meeting.)
Everyone should think of ways to implement CPPC over week-
end!
Announcements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kate: Study Break Thursday at Lobby 6 at 9:30pm.
Charley: Chapter Weekend II from 11/4 to 11/6.
Barbara: Don't leave without signing up for project this Sat. (you
could sign "no" too)
PFTGOTO:
~~~~~~~
Henning: People using the elevator for one stop just piss me off.
Barbara: These pictures are cool!
