T-shirts will be done this week. There's something like 5 people who haven't put down their $10 yet; Anna will be letting them know shortly.
Besides that it sounds like there's literally nothing to talk about.

House Minutes - January 24th, 2010
This house council meeting brought to you by Brett Favre. Because when you get sacked, the only way to save face is to pretend that you're injured.
We're losing on both fronts in IMs. Obviously we need more girls. Yeah, that's the solution. Tex is already looking to next quarter's IMs to restore DGH to its former glory.
Sam States is making salami skewers for study break. Oh god that sounds so good.
We're planning on a trip to see Avatar in IMAX sometime in the future, as a house trip.
We have 40 orders for t-shirts, but only 17 people have actually put down money in advance. Dan and Anna need more people to put money down before they'll order the t-shirts.
TEX HAS NOT FILLED OUT THE HOUSING SURVEY IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH
seriously though we're probably not going to win. no reason not to try though!
If people have any suggestions on how exercise equipment, musical instruments, or rec room equipment can be improved, you should send an email to Charles and let him know your thoughts.
Tex has an idea for a student broomball tournament to raise money for Haiti relief. Ideas for Haiti relief fundraisers get tossed around.
Punitive measures in the house kitchen aren't really working yet. We'll give it some more time, maybe make some cleaning supplies more available before we finally evaluate how successful the Kitchen Reform Bill was.

House Minutes - January 10th, 2010
Ben: "Can we auction off the naming rights to the new baby?"
Anna: "Only if it's, like, more than like $75"
T-shirts: "Straight outta Compton", full-body wins by a 2-1 margin, with about 60% of the house participating. If Charles can not let everyone down, they should be really cheap ($10).
Ben: "I actually think... that ten dollars is less than eight dollars."
OUR HOUSE PRESIDENT HAS APPARENTLY NOT TAKEN ANY MATH HERE.
The SCRH-W council is doing an Oscars marathon, culminating in an event during the actual Oscars where people will dress up and come out to watch the event go down on the giant projector screen.
Kuvia. Psh, you think you're hardcore for waking up early one week? Try Kuvia hard mode: do not sleep at all during finals week.
It would be really nice if people could leave their doordecs up and/or put up an identifying sign on their doors so that people can find you if necessary. We'll also update the maps in the lounge to be accurate (a lot of people have moved around since the year started).
House auction! Bring all your friends (or just one)

House Minutes - January 4th, 2010
The heating problem isn't just us - other houses have really cold lounges too. Lukas coughs a lot. :(
Welcome back everyone! The city is clearly delighted to have us back, given the glorious weather.
Charles needs to get the ball rolling on the house t-shirt thing. God, what's taking that idiot so long? There should be two designs going out to the house pretty soon for a formal vote.
The Council needs a more active propaganda department. Maybe we should establish a committee.
The kitchen is disgusting (or was before Evan arrived on the scene). We'll have people go clean it ASAP.
As always, our birthday pixies are doing a great job. Apparently we're having some Sprite cake to commemorate the winter and summer birthdays. Yum yum. I remember going through a Lucky Charms and Sprite phase myself. Good times.
Dan is absolutely trashed right now. Looks like he's moving into the hangover phase, actually.
Vidya game tournament needs to get rolling. Sam ain't here so we don't know what to do.
Broomball, indoor soccer. Tex will get on that with Ben's urging.
welp meeting's p much over google reader time. afk

House Minutes - November 29th, 2009
We finally have a digital copy of the t-shirt design, thanks Tiffany! We'll be sending an image of the t-shirt out to everyone on the listhost for comments.
We might add "Straight outta Compton" to the back of the t-shirt, if less than half of the house objects. oh god anna is reading this time to censor everything
People nitpick for ten minutes over small details that could be hashed out much more efficiently over email or in small committee format. I love house council so much.
Anna: "Aleks, you can be sous czar!" SO FRENCH
We have a number of broken locks in the house kitchen, from what we think is people just drunkenly forcing the cabinets open. Please don't break the locks.
Also, housing staff are supposed to clean our kitchen floors once a week. They haven't been doing this, but hopefully they'll start soon once Anna and Dan start pestering them to do so.
Poker tournament needs promoting. Apparently people are afraid to join - we're all newbies here! Check on Valentine's Day to see if anyone has a claim on that. Henderson House does crushed cans of soda for Valentine's Day, but that might be an old practice. Some house apparently does condom-grams for Valentine's Day. Best house ever.
We only have 8 people signed up for broomball. Come on people, it's by far the best IM - maximum gratification for minimum skill.

House Minutes - November 15th, 2009
On the agenda for today - T-shirts and fundraisers.
Ben's not here so Aaron's running the show today.
T-shirts aren't ready yet; on Monday the designs were given to Tiffany. The idea is "a playground version of DGH". Lots of little details. Evan seems to be very willing to mention that PEOPLE ARE NOT AT THE MEETING WHERE ARE THEY
Neelam shows up just as Evan is saying that she's not here. The design is "DGH made out of things you would normally find on a playground, like slides and ladders and things like that. [...] No slogan [...] White on dark green, not sure if anyone has a problem with that." They haven't gotten it on the computer and cleaned up (that's Tiffany's part).
We have to come up with a gift to present to Mr. DelGiorno at the donor party being arranged.
"Is this seriously an idea?" "I don't even know what it is, but no." - Anna, in response to Tex's discussion of the DGH calendar. Tex then proceeds to make several amusing sexual puns referencing Chinese buns and DGH men. So yeah, this idea is pretty much DOA.
The house auction is also a good fundraiser, typically - people can auction off (non-sexual) services, products, pretty much anything. There are usually really good deals there, and you'd be surprised how much useless stuff people are wiling to buy to support the house too!
Tex's in-house poker tournament is on the Friday of reading period, December 4th. He'll start advertising for that soon. If it's popular enough, then it may turn into a quarterly thing. Anna isn't 100% comfortable doing it that reading period since it might impede upon quiet hours but they'll talk about it. This also can't be inter-house since we'd have to get the approval of the housing office and... well, they probably wouldn't be receptive to gambling.
Maybe a Smash Brothers tournament could be run as an inter-house event? We'd charge an entrance fee and could maybe award a plaque or trophies to the winners.
Sam: [Explanation of timed modes in Smash Bros. games]
Anna: Okay, well, Sam, you wanna run it?
Sam: Damn. Okay.
We'll probably schedule everything (poker tournament, auction, Christmas market, etc) in one weekend as part of a larger "House Activities Weekend".
The Box is, again, DOA. It comes up every house meeting and people very quickly move onto the next topic. Good night, sweet prince.
Tex wants to lead a house trip to see the Boondock Saints 2 sometime. Movie night in general hasn't been very successful; various reasons are proposed as to why it's not doing well. Obviously it's because Katie's movie choices suck.
Anna accuses Charles of lying. Because he does. A lot. Matt Southward sucks too. A lot.
Dan & Anna have not yet labeled their dishes; their dishes are KOS. Gentle reminder: label your dishes tonight or tomorrow because confiscation will start on Tuesday.
HOUSE MEETING
Anna is so angry at me help
No alcohol at the poker tournament?! Wow, what a lame event. $10 buy-in, half of the pot goes to the house, the other half goes to the top 3 (40-30-25). Wait, that doesn't add up to 100. Someone's skimming a little off the top.
Tex might be going to Boondock Saints 2 downtown this weekend at the AMC River East. The official day is Thursday, though they might be doing it, you know, actually on the weekend.
We should have a suggestion box in the lounge. That's going on the agenda next week. Also our movies suck so far.

House Minutes - November 7th, 2009
Today is all about kitchen policy.
Ben has written a policy memo on this matter, with three main points:
I'll send out an email to the listhost telling people about this website.
Voting on kitchen policy commences.
T-Shirts next week, recap of kitchen policy.
Ben has written a policy memo on this matter, with three main points:
- Masking tape and industrial sharpies to label dishes. Requiring people to label dishes will let us know who's leaving unwashed dishes behind, and will allow us to actually resolve cleanup issues on a one-on-one basis. Masking tape won't melt in the microwave, and will not melt with hot water.
- Unwashed and abandoned dishes will be repossessed and stored a designated place. They will then be sold back at a rate of $1/dish.
- People who sign up to clean the kitchen will be entered into a quarterly raffle (only one raffle entry per person) for a ~$20 gift card to a restaurant or something like that.
- Unless you're in the house, you can't use our kitchen.
- Ice needs to be replenished by the people who use it.
- All of Ben's proposals
I'll send out an email to the listhost telling people about this website.
Voting on kitchen policy commences.
- Everyone has to leave the kitchen cleaner or as clean as they left it. Passes unanimously.
- Everyone has to label everything left in the house kitchen with masking tape and permanent marker (provided by the house) with their name and/or initials. Common items will be labeled DGH and provided in the kitchen. Common items must be cleaned and returned to the kitchen within 24 hours. Passes unanimously.
- House Council members will conduct random checks of the kitchen. Dishes left in the kitchen without their owner in the immediate vicinity will be repossessed and stored in a locked kitchen cabinet, to be sold back to the owner at a rate of $1 per piece. Owners of repossessed items can contact anybody on the House Council via email to arrange repurchase of their items. Money collected will be deposited into the house funds. Passes unanimously.
- The opportunity to clean the house kitchen by Monday at 11:59PM will be provided each week for up to two people. Cleanings must include cleaning the stove, wiping counters and the microwave, and mopping the floor. Equipment to clean the kitchen will be made available to volunteers at cost to the house. Upon completion of the cleanings, volunteers will contact a member of the House Council Executive Council, the Kitchen Czar, or staff member to inspect the cleaning. Those volunteers who clean the kitchen will be entered into a quarterly raffle at the end of the quarter for a $20 gift card to any reasonable establishment of the winner's choosing, which will be obtained by Dan and Anna. Passes unanimously.
- Common dishes will be recorded and kept track of weekly by the Kitchen Czar. This includes repossessed items. Passes unanimously.
- Dishes must be labeled within a week of the purchase of a house permanent marker, which will be made available for the house's use to label their dishes. This will be announced via house listhost. Passes unanimously.
T-Shirts next week, recap of kitchen policy.
