Officers' reports:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SVP (Emily): If you took CPR [Note: These were the only four words
       in the SVP's report as taken down. Above it were seven blank
       lines]

MVP (Carolyn): There are brothers. There will be another brother
       before the end of this term.  Aletta's elevation will be tacked
       onto I-Banquet.

FC (Sara B.): I-Banquet is Friday, December 10. I would like for it
       to be a potluck, if there's interest.  Please sign up.  Otherwise,
       I will need a PC. Andromeda will be having a holiday party on
       the Wednesday evening of finals week. Sign up for Seekrit Santa
       now.

Treasurer (Marisa):  The books are almost completely up to date.
       I would send out the debt list emails, but you have to give me
       any receipts you have also.

AVP  (Sara  P.):  I reserved Book Ex rooms, posted minutes, and
       moved the pledges to the list of brothers on the mailing list.

APOcEd (Ian): There are APOcs. Thanks to the Chapter Alphie.

ASC (Oscar): Thanks to those who are keeping the office from being
       a [expletive deleted] mess. That's it, I'm hosed.

PubDir (Ann Marie): There is more paper.

Historian (Ari): Pictures have been taken. This Saturday there will
       be a project where we will put pictures onto walls.  Technique
       might also come by; have them call me if they arrive beforehand.
       Some photos didn't come out, but it's not anything obscene, just
       my thumb.

Advisory Comm.  Chair (Ellen): Our section is in the process of
       forming an advisory council.  It's kind of tentative, but there
       will definitely be a meeting on the first weekend in February [a
       Saturday?].

President (Sam):  We have a chapter.  Applause to the officers for
       having done stuff.

Appendix:
~~~~~~~~
Asides:
~~~~~~
A collection of quotes, mysteriously planted in the minutes, is included
here as an appendix to your regularly scheduled minutes for the amuse-
ment of the chapter.

Oscar: If everything goes right, the job of the president is to do nothing
       and look pretty while holding the gavel.

Eric: Fellowship pile on the floor. Come on everybody.

Oscar:  [addressed to Eric's comment] This might be illegal in this
       state.

Carolyn:  I've decided not to be hosed next term, and I can do it, I
       know how to drop classes.

Yevgeniya:  I haven't thought that much about this office, but I'm
       sure I'll be happy to do whatever you want me to do.

Sam: I'd like to be SVP...and like us [sic] run around Cambridge and
       paint things randomly.

Oscar: [on hearing Foley's nomination for FVP] Yeah! Fellowship with
       chainsaws.

Foley: I like to paint random objects.

Laura: Sara, do you consider yourself a "random object"?

Oscar: Please clean the fellowship off the floor when you're done.

Andromeda: Carolyn, you have to share!

Foley: You know the meeting's gone on too late when there are women
       rolling around [on the floor].
