Officers' reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SVP (Barbara): I gave most of my outgoing report at the last meet-
ing. I will write an article. Good luck to the new SVP.
MVP (Dave): I have met with Emily. I have not written an outgoing
officer report. Nothing else to report.
AVP (Gilbert): I have met with Cathy. She is taking minutes. I
haven't written an outgoing officer report.
Treasurer (Henning): I have met with Harry. I have not yet written
an outgoing officer report. Still pay your debts.
FC (Rachel): Things went well this term. I have met with Karen.
I have not written an outgoing officer report. I have only ever
written two things for the APOc, and I will fail my classes if I
write a third.
APOcEd (bert): I met with Barbara. The last APOc deadline is
Thursday at midnight. Barbara (APOc dominatrix-in-training)
is chasing people and sending mail.
ASC (Cathy): nothing to report
PubDir (Charley): Henning has ordered paper so that whoever takes
my job over IAP will not have to do it. I will send whatever
national thing I have to send reasonably soon, possibly from
New Orleans.
Historian (Richard): I am not here. Make up a report for me. I
am having a passionate affair with Carrie from BU and I am
running for Region 1 director.
Advisory Comm. Chair (Joe): nothing to report
President (Kate): Can I cause havoc now?
Incoming officers' reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SVP (Charley): Hahahahaha! You elected me! It's your fault! I have
met with Barbara for cookies and clue. I got a calendar.
MVP (Emily): I got a calendar from my desk from my parents with
important stuff. Not much else.
AVP (Cathy): I did not get a calendar. I met with Gilbert. I reserved
drop poster and infinite corridor space for recruitment. I need
to learn LaTeX.
Treasurer (Harry): I have met with Henning. We will meet again. I
have not prepared the motions for I-banquet.
FC (Karen): I met with Rachel and Dave to sort out dates. I am
PC'ing I-banquet.
APOcEd (Barbara): (APOc chick, dominatrix) I have lots of mail.
President (Bridget): I got a calendar and met with Kate and Dave.
I will write an article soon. This is the chapter book. (pointing
to large black binder) If you are an officer, read the section that
relates to your office. If you are an outgoing officer, fix that
which is broken.
Kate: I thought this was the chapter book. (pointing to not-quite-as-
large black binder)
Bridget: We have two chapter books. Are they identical? Read them
and find out.
New Business:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Budget
Harry: Here it is. The adjustment to transportation was made for
various reasons, like people more often paying for their own T
tokens. Only $120 of the membership budget was spent last
term. Only $100 of the fellowship budget was spent. The his-
torian budget was bumped up because of a back log. The soda
and press fund were adjusted, but we will recover that anyway.
National layaway is only this term, not next. Questions?
Yale: Are these changes from last year's budget or last year's results?
Henning: These are changes from the Fall 1994 budget. We followed
trends, adjusted things.
Yale: Is this realistic?
Harry: Yes.
Charley: Motion that ExecComm recommend this budget to the chap-
ter.
Henning: second
Motion passes, voice vote many-0.
Scheduling
Bridget: Rooms are reserved for Tuesday. Do any incoming officers
have problems with Tuesday night?
Harry: Yes.
Charley: There are problem sets, but I do them in chapter meetings
now anyway.
Bridget: Is Wednesday better?
Karen: Probably worse, depending on band.
Harry: I have symphony from 7:30-10.
Bridget: Problems with Tuesday at 7?
Karen: Possibly softball practice.
decision: Tuesday at 7:00.
Emily: Reg Day is February 6. I propose open meetings on the 4th or
5th, 11th or 12th, and a Wednesday or Thursday in between.
Bridget: We currently have meetings scheduled for January 26 and
January 29.
Emily: I won't be here until the 30th.
Dave: Why do we want meetings during IAP?
Ping: It's good to get things rolling before classes start. Often there
are service projects during IAP.
Dave: How much time is between open meetings and Reg Day? and
pledge ceremonies?
Emily: 2-3 weeks, at most.
Dave: You want the pledge ceremony near the beginning so as not to
have people on the fringe. Three weeks is okay.
pledge ceremonies scheduled: Wednesday, February 15 and Thursday,
February 16
Charley: Do we want pledge article meal at Chapter Weekend I, or
somewhere else?
Dave: If it's on Chapter Weekend I, after passing out information
about APO, you have to say that pledge article meal is right
afterwards. You have to sell both concepts.
Kate: I'd want it back on campus on a weekday. It hasn't been
wonderfully successful on chapter weekend.
Ping: Pledges should have their big brothers by then. It's weird to
look for a big brother before you're a pledge.
Henning: If it's on campus, more people can make it. The goal is to
get as many people there as possible.
Chris: It's nice to get away from the institute and be able to talk to
people.
Henning: There were only three pledges at the last one.
Yale: The logic is to have it farther away from pledge ceremonies.
decision: Monday, February 27
Ping: Make the third open meeting the Wednesday after Reg Day.
Karen: I want I-Banquet on Friday, May 19.
Ping: Then you want neophyting around the 17th, and voting from
the 6th or 7th until the 16th.
Emily: I'd prefer Sunday for Pledge Term Review Meeting. How
about the afternoon of Sunday, May 7?
Karen: I had hoped for Semi-Formal Formal on March 18, and Steak
Fry on April 22.
Dave: Stick lots of study breaks in.
Charley: Do we want a project after Region 0 LDW?
Ping: Don't tie it to LDW. You want sonething that weekend. Pledges
won't go to LDW; they've come for fellowship, milk, and cookies.
They're not going to want to sit in a workshop.
Kevin: It's difficult to find sites for Sunday projects.
Charley: How about an open project that weekend?
Gilbert: It won't be hard to find a site for a Sunday project.
Charley: Chapter Weekend I for February 17-20. I was thinking of a
chapter fellowship weekend March 25-26. That's during spring
break. Things fall off within the chapter. Conclave is March
10-12.
Ping: Schedule a project against Conclave? (general consensus: no)
Charley: Big Screw April 24-28. April 28 is drop date. Chapter
Weekend II may end up April 8-9. That's Palm Sunday.
Barbara: Passover ends 1-2 hours after sundown on the 22nd. People
who keep kosher won't go on anything. This affects alumni.
Rachel: Make them cook for Steak Fry. They won't come in before
dark anyway.
Charley: We could have Seder and Easter Sunday mass on Chapter
Weekend II. My email servey has 8 responses, almost evenly
divided between "I don't care if it is that weekend, but watch
out" and "I would not come that weekend".
Dave: Take a poll at I-banquet.
Karen: Steak Fry definitely the 22nd?
Charley: That can be interchangable. Spring Afterfinals May 27-29.
Winter Afterfinals January 13-16. It's in the IAP guide. Date
for Book Exchange? (February 6-10)
Dave: Only publicize Book Exchange at open meetings, not on the
infinite corridor board.
Barbara: Write for I-banquet or I'll publish a treatise on something.
Hannah: I'll send in my twenty page Japan paper.
Barbara: Two page summary, please.
Announcements:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Barbara: Submit!
Charley: Dominatrix.
Karen: Say if you're going to I-banquet. Sign up in the office.
Bridget: There are two chapter books. Incoming and outgoing officers
read them and make useful comments.
Charley: I want PC's.
Dave: Neophyting here, tomorrow at 7. Bridget, send mail. If your
little is being continued, talk to them. If they are being elevated,
find out when and where they can be found. Keep it a state
secret until they get annoyed. I-banquet Saturday at 6. Ritual
team will hear more from me.
Emily: Ask your little subtly. They won't notice. Be friendly.
Dave: Outgoing officers, think about thank yous.
Barbara: Submit to the APOc!
PFTGOTO:
~~~~~~~
Ezra: Apocrypha S&M edition.
Dave: She won't print Unified notes.
Hannah: I need sleep.
bert: Ezra, are you interested?
Charley: Rachel and I have a 1.00 test. That sucks.
Barbara: Between now and next Wednesday, I have to (do a lot of
stuff. sorry... AVP)
Chris: I have nothing due till finals.
Rachel: I have a final project, a few problem sets, and three exams
you can help with.
Hannah: I just wrote a major term paper and failed an exam.
Ping: I have one problem set, a set of lecture notes, and a thesis
proposal due.
Dave: I'm not graduating this term. Private dance lessons are way
cool. An MIT alum owns a company, the head of a studio. He
wrote a $2000 check. Everyone on the team gets at least four
private lessons.
Barbara: Ping is in the CEG. He got good remarks.
Ezra: Publish them in the APOc.
Barbara: No.
Bridget: Thanks for coming and spending your time. I need volunteers
to help count ballots.
Meeting adjourned to fellowship circle at 8:45.
