House Minutes - February 28th, 2010

Bernie's coming on the 3rd! Everyone get excited and turn out in your business/casual business-casual dress and come meet him. Dean Boyer, Ben Smithgall, and President Zimmer are among the list of illustrious men that will be delivering speeches at this event. Ben needs funny (and appropriate) stories about DGH, so if you've got 'em, let him know.

Funny stories about injuries abound.

Someone smashed the condom jar, so we need to replace the contents. How does that even happen? You'd have to be in an incredible rush to accidentally knock it over.

T-shirts are set to arrive tomorrow, which is also exciting.

What's more exciting is that Kathleen is making donuts for tonight's study break. Holy crap I am going to be all over that.

Anna (to Tex): "You have a knack... for finding the crazies."
Crystal: "Excuse me?!"

STUDYBRAK

House Minutes - February 14th, 2010

Bernie's a-comin this March 3rd at 5-6PM for a fireside chat with the house! There'll be dinner afterwards from 6-7PM, too. If you've got ideas for questions to ask him, let the house council or Dan and Anna know.

We're also asking for ideas for gifts to give Bernie when he visits. We're going to be taking a house photo with Mr. DelGiorno, so encourage house members to come!

House t-shirts will definitely be done soon I swear

Insurance premiums are probably going to go up soon. Some people are upset about the lack of promptness and quality of service at the SCC. Apparently it's due to a lack of space, which will be fixed when they move soon - and they're hiring someone "important" to fix the quality of service issue.

HAUS MEETING

House Minutes - January 31st, 2010

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.

Time to surf youtube i love my job

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.

STUD BRAK

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.
