Outgoing officers' reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
President (Kate): There is a nifty note in the office saying that the
thermostat was fixed. This is cool. I went to BU's initiation and
had pizza. They were thankful for our ritual stuff. My outgoing
report is in the APOc. I think the world of my SVP, MVP, AVP,
fellowship chair, APOcEd, historian (who took pictures of the
world), ASC, PubDir, and chairman of the advisory committee.
(Squishable globes fly across the room to those mentioned.)
SVP (Barbara): My report is in the APOc. Read it. Thanks very
much to my PC's. You did a magnificent job, and some of you
even found projects for me. I hope you enjoyed the projects.
Good luck to the future SVP.
MVP (Dave): Thanks to the big brothers. The pledge term could
not have happened without you. Thanks to the pledges. It was
fun. I hope you got something out of the program.
AVP (Gilbert): I will archive the minutes. (gives a nice pen to Cathy)
Good luck!
FC (Rachel): Read my APOc article. Thanks to the people who PC'd
fellowship events, such as Jeff, Karen, Kate, Ping, and Emily.
APOcEd (bert): Thanks to Barbara for helping me get out this issue
of the APOc. My report is short because a longer APOc would
have been catastrophic. It has to be 4n+2 pages.
ASC (Cathy): nothing to report
PubDir (Charley): I just ordered drop poster paper. Chris volun-
teered to take my job as PubDir over IAP. I am not as lame as
I was. Congratulations to Chris.
Historian (Richard): I am still historian, unlike most of you. I've
got to put pictures together and clean up the mess on my desk.
Old moldy types who recognize these pictures should stop by
and help me sort them out.
Advisory Comm. Chair (Joe): Congratulations to the old Exec-
Comm for a job well done.
Kate: A koosh to Alan for helping my job get done.
Barbara: I have old certificates of membership for my old children:
Richard, Helen (absent), Cathy, Hannah, Juliana (absent), Cris
(absent), Jeff, Brad, Andy (absent), Grant (absent), Junko, and
Emily. Congratulations to them. I am glad to see that many of
them are on ExecComm next term.
Kate gives a gavel, a gavel sock, a copy of Robert's Rules, the national
bylaws, the chapter bylaws, and standing policies to Bridget.
Dave gives a hay skirt to Emily. Emily sways with Dave.
Barbara: The SVP item was last seen in Somerville. I will return it
to the chapter soon.
Rachel gives a pitch pipe to Karen.
bert gives a stapler to Barbara.
Installation of New Officers
Incoming officer's reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SVP (Charley): I was really lame when writing my report. Schedul-
ing was interesting. Chapter Weekend II is nebulous in location.
The four day Passover/Easter weekend is bad unless we find peo-
ple willing to conduct a Seder and an Easter mass. I will try, if
people are willing. (straw poll: 17 people will go on CW II if
this happens. 14 will if it doesn't. A few won't at all.)
MVP (Emily): I didn't write an incoming report. I sent out email to
apo-exec saying that the weekends in question for PTRM have
been cleared up.
AVP (Cathy): The minutes aren't out yet. Look in /AVP/S95 and
you will see why.
FC (Karen): It's never too soon to volunteer to PC I-Banquet, Semi-
Formal Formal, Steak Fry. I'll hit people up to PC minor fel-
lowship events.
APOcEd (Barbara): We have an APOc. Bert writes good instruc-
tions. There are lots of articles. Dave owes me 400 pushups.
I'm psyched. I will do lots of cool stuff. I need articles. I have
written editorial comments, but not an incoming report. I en-
courage you after finals to write articles. Write two or three
articles.
ASC (Cathy): Nothing has changed in the past hour.
PubDir (Chris): I just got booted into office 2 1/2 hours ago. I talked
to Charley. I need a clue.
Historian (Richard): Do all new brothers understand why the ASC,
PubDir, and historian haven't changed? (No.) We are called
junior officers. We are elected each term, giving new brothers a
chance to hold office. If you are interested in any of these offices,
talk to the person currently holding them.
Advisory Comm. Chair (Joe): nothing to report
President (Bridget): I wrote an article. I just took seven hours of
GRE's, ending half an hour before the ceremonies. My mind
is shot. Congratulations to everyone. We're all cool people.
Congratulations to the newly elevated brothers. I'll let you know
when I find my brain.
Old Business:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kate: Henning, I think the world of you as treasurer.
New Business:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Budget
Henning: I'm Harry. I talked to Henning. We discussed various things
and made very few changes from Henning's term. The proposed
budget for spring 1995 is in the APOc.
Ezra: How is this different from last spring term?
Harry: Since I have the sheets with me but I am not here... significant
cuts from spring 1994 to fall 1994 are still there.
Kevin: Motion to approve the budget.
After much confusion about procedure and the number of motions on
the floor, motion passes 18-0-4.
Ping: Motion to cancel allocations as of 12/31/94. (white ballot)
Kate: Motion to appropriate all funds as approved by budget as of
1/1/95. (white ballot)
Ping: There are certain things that shouldn't be white balloted.
Scheduling
straw poll as to problems with Tuesday or Wednesday for chapter meet-
ings. Problems with Tuesday: 0. With Wednesday: 5.
Bridget: We will met Tuesdays. There is a missing Tuesday the
proposed weekend of CW II.
Ping: Can we put an ExecComm there?
Bridget: It would be nominations. Therefore, we could have one or
three weeks between nominations and elections.
Ping: Shift so ExecComm falls then. When is the first chapter meet-
ing?
Bridget: The day after Reg Day. If we don't move things, chapter
meetings 2/7, 2/21, 3/7, 3/21, 4/4, 4/18, 5/2, and 5/19.
Chris: Motion to table this issue until after we get our schedules.
Ping: Friendly amendment to change "after we get our schedules" to
the first chapter meeting. (Accepted.)
Kate: Are we only talking about this meeting? (Yes.) Is it easier to
just have three weeks between chapter meetings?
straw poll: prefering three weeks between the meeting preceding nom-
inations and nominations: 12. three weeks between nominations and
elections: 1.
Barbara: There is a third option - moving that chapter meeting to
Wednesday.
Dave: call question
Motion passes, 10-9-5.
Ezra: Move to approve chapter meetings on Tuesdays, minus that one,
plus a meeting at I-Banquet.
Kevin: call question
