Since I won't be secretary for the rest of the quarter. (Will I have a final go at it 3rd quarter? Who can say?)
QUARTER 2 WEEK 1 HOUSE MEETING MINUTES
--------------------------------------
A person from Shorey House (boo!) talks about something called CHAMP, which
stands for something five words long. Some sort of tutoring thing, with kids of
all ages. They're having an event this Wednesday, free Rajun Cajun, see poster.
Kelly is doing some sort of Relay for Life? From the name, I imagine that it
involves running... for your life. Maybe from hungry dogs or something.
Presumably, if you fail to pass the baton properly, they shoot you. Oh, that's
not what it is? It's actually to raise money to fight cancer? Disappointing.
Each team member is expected to raise about $100? That sounds like a lot.
She's talking about a kickoff event? Is it Football for Life now? I missed
most of the actual information.
Artis is trying to organize a Tufts House team for... something. Meeting at
Bulls Stadium, also with a kickoff event. It's really not clear what's going
on, but apparently it involves community service, and does not involve moving
plants around. Nora announces *another* community service competition? Does it
always have to be a competition now? Also, we're doing something with a llama?
Are we constructing it from it raw materials? That would be pretty cool.
Sports Frolic is coming up! Last year we lost because of attendance. This year
we'll win, or at least not lose, Nora says. A guy on TV gets a touchdown. Mike
announces that if Florida loses, Steve dies; maybe it *is* Football for Life!
Remember, we have to suggest an event. Also, Beckmann sucks. You don't have to
do anything to count for attendance, so if nothing else, just show up at the
beginning, then keep your cell phone on and return at the end when they call
you. We need a captain; Jack nominates Mike K, whose last name he horribly
mangles (you're Polish, Jack, you should have no problem!); he accepts.
Nora talks about pipes bursting? You have to close to your windows when the
temperature drops below 0. Not only would you otherwise be taking our heat and
throwing it out the window, you'd be helping the pipes crack. Jack and Sarah
are hosting hot drinks at 4:00 on Fridays?
Kuvia is coming up. It involves getting up very early and doing dumb exercises
in the cold. It's "extreme", Nora says. Extremely what is left unspecified.
Jeremy tells Jasper to shut up even though Jasper was blowing up a balloon.
Housing survey: If fewer than 40% of us fill it out, Jack and Sarah fill in
trouble. If 100% of us fill it out, we get money.
Nora intends to watch Clueless in the lounge? Yikes.
RA applications begin soon. Youlian is now Treasurer, since Agnes is abroad.
Also T-shirt sales begin soon.
Josh wants to organize a trip to some sort of light show? He wants house money.
House subsidized pot, Peter suggests? $10 per person is passed. The day before
Mike K's birthday, some sort of game he's going to, again asks for $10 per
person, it passes. He'll send out an email. Then Ian and Brittany ask for a
subsidy to see Notorious? It's a movie, apparently. $5 per passes. Then
Charlie asks for $10 per person for the 7 people going to Blackhawks vs Rangers.
Apparently the tickets were already bought so people don't like it. It passes
anyway.
Charlie interrupts Mike K and people want to take away the subsidy. He was
talking about a panel on hunger organized by UC Dems. Charlie tries to talk
about some sort of free market related speech but is shouted down by imaginary
trumpets. Michelle announces a party in her room. Nora says she can't
announce that.
We're not doing nominations now. So only contested position is secretary.
Disappointing. Also house meetings will now be on Tuesdays so Brad can come?
IMs start tomorrow with broomball, and soccer on Sunday. Email Brad by
Wednesday if you want to go to the orchestra shindig, says Jeremy.
Also study break signups will now include a slot for who's cleaning up
afterward. Why? Because the stuff we left in the sink last quarter turned
blue. That's right, it turned blue. Because it was moldy. Moldy blue.
WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Nora tells: Her friend Connor was doing a DRP presentation, so she went, even
though she doesn't know any math. And when Connor is presenting, Thanos (a grad
student) interrupts and asks "Sorry, could you explain why this matters?" And
throughout Thanos interrupts people and makes them answer irrelevant questions.
So finally, at the end, Youlian is presenting, and Thanos begins to interrupt
him, and Youlian goes, "Hold your questions for the end." And Thanos goes "But
could you-" "No. Hold your questions for the end." So Thanos is nominated for
Weenie, and Youlian for Hero.
Winston nominates Joe Beckmann. People crowd around his computer. Beckmann was
dancing in military garb? I don't really see why that warrants a nomination.
Jeremy nominates Nick Nunez for no reason.
THANOS WINS WEENIE OF THE WEEK!
Hero of the week:
Nathan nominates himself for pulling a chair away from Pat, because it was
pretty funny. I nominate Winston for bringing the DDR pad. Jeremy says all us
DDR players are making the place smell, and need to shower. Winston says that's
Halo. Jack is nominated for making the lounge much cooler by opening the doors.
Jeremy says no-one should vote for Jack because he made a fire hazard.
Youlian wins Hero of the Week!
