House Minutes - February 28th, 2010

2010-02-28T20:14:00.006-06:00

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?!"

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

2010-01-31T20:05:00.002-06:00

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

2010-01-10T20:03:00.004-06:00

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

2010-01-04T20:04:00.005-06:00

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

2009-11-29T20:05:00.010-06:00

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

2009-11-15T20:31:00.025-06:00

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.

STUDY BREAK ANNOUNCED AMIDST UPROARIOUS APPLAUSE

House Minutes - November 7th, 2009

2009-11-08T20:02:00.038-06:00

Today is all about 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.

Aaron has a few proposals of his own:

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

Aleks isn't here; we'll let him know that if he doesn't come here next week, then we'll ask him to resign.

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.

Dan and Anna will talk to the housing staff who have been hanging around our lounge and the Cave to make sure that doesn't happen in the future.

T-Shirts next week, recap of kitchen policy.

House Minutes - November 1st, 2009

2009-11-01T20:05:00.022-06:00

House websites: No. At least, not yet. None of the houses in SCRH have websites yet and nobody knows when they're going up.

T-Shirt Committee: Check back spring quarter. All right. This meeting is off to a good start!

Kitchen: Aaron claims that other people (not in our house) use our kitchen!!!!!!!!!Maybe we could label everything in the kitchen to mark public dishes. Since we have locked cabinets, we can start moving unmarked dishes to those and just wait for people to complain. The kitchen is just filthy in general, christ people. If you see non-DelGiorno people using the kitchen, please politely show them the window exits.

Sam says that we should have incentives for people to keep the kitchen clean. Maybe put names into a raffle to win prizes based on how often they clean the kitchen. Have a sign-up sheet for two people a week, have a cap on how many times your name can be entered into the raffle. Regulation? Not in my free market.

Kathleen suggests that we start charging people for leaving dirty dishes in the kitchen, locking them up in the cabinets if they're left out and charging money to return them to them.

Having drain problems? Rescom can handle that.

We could do a membership thing with changing the door locks on the kitchen, but there are problems with people letting their friends in. Can't do this because changing the kitchen door lock involves changing the door locks across the entire dorm.

We could force people to label their dishes and confiscate unlabeled dishes - this would let us find out who's leaving dishes out. Announce this at the next house meeting (not tonight) after we've gone over these not--- wait what they're going to use these notes oh crap

We need to delineate the Kitchen Czar's duties and send them out to the council, so we all know what he's supposed to be doing and when, and so we can actually implement this plan of regulating kitchen use. He should also come to house meeting so he knows what's going on and what we need to do to fix these issues.

IHC: Met with dining contract overseer, Richard Mason. They're trying to fix the issues with SCRHDH, like vegan not being vegan and forks not existing and. Printing is weird because Canon is handling it and nobody on campus actually knows how it works. Hopefully it'll be worked out soon. Transportation issues should be directed to IHC or Patricia Padurean, who heads the committee responsible for those.

Apparently the chance of a drive-by when you're getting off the South route and walking back to SCRH is HUGE. I've already been shot eight times. Tonight.

Birthday Pixies are doing a wonderful job, as always. The one silver lining to our thundercloud of a meeting.

We're doing "ok" on funding, will discuss kitchen policy, t-shirts, fundraising at next meeting.

Excom needs to be here every meeting. Someone should've told me this when I signed up for this position, dammit.

Anyone having plumbing issues? Apparently corner rooms are. Our DelGiorno lounge sign got ruined by water damage :< problems with your keycard, let Dan and Anna know. They've gotten more info on the issues, and they'll point you in the right direction. Also, if you get a new ID, make sure you make them transfer your printing money over. It will be gone otherwise.

Ben Smithgall talks about the kitchen reform bill being pushed through the Senate. Is there a public option? Unlabeled dishes in the kitchen are going to be confiscated two weeks from now. The moment he mentioned positive incentives, all hell breaks loose

With Ben Horn. dun cry ben

If you have suggestions and/or concerns, yell at Ben Smithgall about it.

Bulls game in January! Email Matt about it if you're interested ASAP.

Fall Formal transportation is being provided. Buy within the next 20 minutes and Matt will get an additional ticket for FREE!

BRING CANNED FOOD TO THE LOUNGE AND PUT IT IN THE BOX.

STUDY BREAK: BANANA SPLITS AND MANGOES

House Minutes - October 25th, 2009

2009-10-25T20:01:00.018-05:00

Ben: "I don't have much. Yeah, there's not really a whole lot going on - I mean, from a governmental perspective."

T-Shirts: Making DGH into a playground, Lukas as a toddler. Or a guy on a zombie giraffe. There's some progress being made! One color, no slogan on the back (preferably). ETA on a design is 2 weeks at the latest.

The lounge and the kitchen are disasters. I can't believe that we have to tell people to clean up after themselves. Are we in college? I could have sworn we were adults already. Maybe we can move a trash can to the lounge from one of the trash rooms (have to coordinate with building staff on this one) or move the can from the kitchen out into the lounge?

Again, clean up after yourselves. Please.

Maybe we should have a house first-aid kit? There's one at the front desk, and Dan and Anna have one that you can use upon request.

7th floor handicapped stall has been coated in blood for the longest time. C'mon, guys, at least dispose of the bodies in the trash room.

Sanitary disposal bins and things are in girls' bathrooms already. Yay SCRH-W council!

Karaoke? If Janotta doesn't do it, SCRH-W and SCRH-E councils might take it up.

IHC reports in: people should fill out the dining hall survey. Printing, Housenet, transportation, SCC issues should be reported to them if people are having major problems.

Transportation at the University is in a transition state. There's been a few administrative changes, so they're still trying to figure out what works best for students. If you have suggestions, please send them to bus@uchicago.edu!

Dan&Anna will sell candy for Halloween starting soon! Kids will be coming around on Halloween to trick or treat in the dorm, so now would be the time start practicing that Thriller dance.

The Midwest Workers' Association is coming to house meeting tonight to talk about being a not-union.

Condom talk Wednesday at study break. Hopefully it'll be afterwards, not beforehand.

We have to figure out some way to keep the kitchen clean and organised. Fridge locks are probably out of the question. The cabinets will be labeled later this week so hopefully it'll be easier to find things from now on!

Birthday pixies are doing a fantastic job. There's been talk of using car markers to write on the exterior windows facing north in the lounge to announce people's birthdays. Too bad Joel isn't around to grace us with his Triforce and glock masterpieces.

Men of DelGiorno calendar: Officially proposed, rapidly derailed and vetoed by (name redacted). And I was looking forward to seeing Ben's beauteous bod this November, too. Maybe we could do something else for a fundraiser - smash tournament, etc?

HOUSE MEETING

House Minutes - October 18th, 2009

2009-10-18T20:04:00.024-05:00

Ben is setting up a T-shirt committee to work on getting that done. Sarah and Evan and Aaron are on it - going to commission one more person. Simple, one color (two maybe) but no crazy pictures or colors. Target price should be ~$10-12.

Poker tournament is a thing. And it's going to be happening. Tex and John are on it, and should have something ready for next week's meeting.

Doorstops? Not at the dollar store, for certain. Neelam 'doesn't know how much bricks cost' but suggests that they could be used for this purpose. You could even paint it and decorate it! And then sit it on your floor and nobody would ever see it ever again. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Also if you're drunk don't have your door open.

And now we're talking about prices of bricks. And dead babies. Wonderful, Tex.

Sustainability - Where is our czar? Why don't we have recycling bins on any floor but the 5th? Nobody knows. Maybe we should label one of the trash cans as 'recycling', though this wouldn't stop housekeeping from just tossing it out in the trash.

Housing office is having a leadership summit - catered dinner from 4-6pm in BJ; meet with other house councils and talk about policy, ideas. Fri Nov 6th. Free food! Suddenly Aaron and Neelam are very interested and RSVPd.

There's been nothing from PSAC as of yet - even though there's a prospie night on the 26th of October coming up.

Peer Health Educators - Apparently we can't get anymore condoms until we have someone at a house meeting talk to us about safe sex! Maybe during our house study break this Weds? Hopefully Neha won't mind too much (or maybe we could push it back?)

Signs will be up soon for birthdays, and hopefully it'll be more organised from now on. How are we celebrating summer birthdays? Apparently we'll do "winter break and summer birthdays" all at once in one big batch. Sarah and Jen are on it.

We should have our associate members all give a speech at a house meeting to introduce themselves. Greg and Joel are already here tonight as is Mike, so expect a hilarious house meeting tonight.

The RMs might be going to go see Young Frankenstein soon - if they don't, it'll be a house trip so keep your eyes peeled for that.

Crystal called the Addams family today. Someone needs to make sure she's taking her meds from now on.
$14.50 for student seats (during the workweek), $20 for the normally $25 seats. $38, $52, and $150 and up are the upper price tiers. If we get house / HARC funding then we'll probably get good seats at a heavily discounted rate. We need >= 20 people for this. They're closing the December seats soon, so we need to get people signed up soon! This is probably happening in the last two weeks of November - 17th is the prospective date, and we'll be taking $5 deposits for that.
Nobody knows what HARC will be like with splitting SCRH-W/E.

Anna: "HARC sponsors that one trip, you know, to that meat place..."

Crystal has to get in touch with her 'homeslice dude' from Pierce.

Dan: "Regarding the bathroom situation... We're not going to change anything. It might be hard to do number 1."

The Box is officially dead. Long live The Box.

House Minutes: October 11th, 2009

2009-10-11T20:10:00.012-05:00

First house meeting of DelGiorno House is called to order.

Our president's not here. Do better next time, Ben.
On the agenda for next time: T-Shirt ideas, bathroom policy?

In a show of his endless generosity, Dan offers to lead the meeting tonight so Aaron can 'learn the ropes'. And he has lots of that. Rawr.

House Budget: $451 at the moment, $350 after our expenses so far.

Study break funding allocation: Sam suggests $20 until we have a fundraiser, most people agree that $5 more won't give people incentive to make better study breaks. $30 is too much, apparently. Proposal that $5 extra to the standard $20 be made available upon request and justification.

Jen is late. Much embarrassment ensues. Let her know if you have any issues for IHC to discuss!

SCRH-W Council is looking for an extra (first-year) representative from each house! We'll start voting for the candidates soon, so watch your email for that. DelGiorno House also has 3/8 of the current spots on the council, so expect massive funding allocations our way soon.

IM sports: we missed today's football game because we were short on a girl player; if we miss one more, we'll be disqualified. Time to start trolling around the 8th floor.

Tex is making a powerpoint of the rules for IM football. Apparently the organizer takes his job way too seriously. We have more signups than any year in the past!

Condoms: You can expect 15 minute talk about condoms and safe sex with a peer health rep at a house meeting soon.

Dan wants to put the condom jar in the single-user bathroom. Tex has to gently remind him that sex is a multiple-user activity.

Condoms will be moved to the kitchen from now on, for privacy reasons. Thanks, Spencer!

House Kitchen: The idea of regularly restocking the kitchen with common supplies is brought up, and Sam wants to be able to rent out a cabinet in the kitchen. Aleks's plan to host medium-size cooking events is discussed, and is on the agenda for next week.

Tex is going to organise a trip to see Jet at the House of Blues next Tuesday. House subsidies?

T-shirt committee this year. Let's not repeat last year's fiasco! Spencer's got the connections. Maybe good ol' Bernie would be willing to pitch in a little?

HOUSE MEETING

House Council Minutes: May 31st

2009-05-31T20:37:00.000-05:00

We have now reached the final meeting of this two-thousand and ninth year of our Lord and the 31st day of the fifth month, that being the month of May. It seems that our house council members are too preoccupied watching some men with sticks get angry that the man who decides how the men with sticks are allowed to behave did not remain consistent with their own conceptions of how he should be determining how they behave. Awesome.

Who will go to Walgreens to pick this up? How we will pay for this? We allocated fifty dollars to buy Red Bulls. Someone tomorrow will go pick them up?

Oh, by the way. Compton House will be no longer at the beginning of next year and will be known as DelGiorno House.

We want to petition DelGiorno for a House Escalade out of which we will tailgate with him.

Ben will say something now: IHC will take its first substantive vote of the year on Tuesday June 2nd. Short-term, long-term and the lukewarm medium-term recommendations for next year. How will Ben vote?

“Do you know what room it’s* in?” -- Anna *The 523 Beverage Shop

Sam stumbles over his words and incites the rage of us to tell us that money is due for people that want their possessions moved by the moving service hired by the Shoreland Council.

Compton House Minutes - May 17, 2009

2009-05-17T20:55:00.000-05:00

Perhaps we will start soon. We ponder the whereabouts of Tex. I, personally, have not heard him.

Picnic on the Point this Saturday.

John on the Box: No progress, yet.

Charles could go to Walgreens to accrue said Energy Drinks. When will he do that?

John could even go to Walgreens, Charles won’t be able to do it tonight.

Sam has a couple things: June 5th, moving: Will fit as many trips as possible to go to New Dorm. No word on specifically what kind of service we will get, could be Igor, could not.

ANNA IS SO SMART! Her idea was to have a buddy system, she still thinks it’s a good idea.

$75 for the Dunes. That money is coming from the House, so Shoreland Council will reimburse us.

LEE.

Blood Drive, let’s screw them over and exploit their weak points.

Sam has one more, fourth/final thing. Shoreland BBQ vs. Dunes. Hell yeah.

House Funds are at 280 dollars, 230 dollars now. Hopefully we will make money off of this risky venture. So risky.

Jake proves that he will perpetually one-up himself in degrees of awesome remarks that merit swift rebukes.

Compton House Minutes - May 10, 2009

2009-05-10T20:57:00.001-05:00

The house now has 100 new dollars in the house. Woo hoo! Igor won.

The question remains, what do we spend the money on?

The Box? Matt and Charles are willing to do it. Lexi wants to use it for paintball, the money won’t generate profit in that sense.

Charles has arrived.

Ben Smithgall thinks we should save money for next year.

John Binder says something about HARC funding.

Ben Smithgall says that it leaves us with absolutely nothing for next year.

First years pay dues? Everyone could pay that. 5 dollars from everyone in the house = 450 dollars.

Reimbursement for study breaks? Parent catering? Paid socializing?

Capone’s Theory, will it be modified in SoCam?

Let’s decide how we want to spend this money?

5 vs. 4 - 50 Bucks to restock the box with just energy drinks.

Paintball - 5 per person - 45 dollars - does not pass

Study Breaks are not being reimbursed.

A much bureaucratic meeting has ended in disappointment from many. I am very tired. Now, to write paper and do 100 pages of reading, if I can.

--Jackson Noble Wright

P.S. It’s 18 dollars to go to the Harry Potter exhibit.

House Minutes: May 3rd, 2009

2009-05-03T20:27:00.001-05:00

The new RAs are here to find out how we run it. Let’s show em how we run it. We gon run it. To run it.

Poker will be next Friday, and not registered as a party. It will be an underground thang, a strictly Compton affair. Gs up, Hos down.

Dunes!! MY FAVORITE TIME EVER!! THE END OF 7TH WEEK?!?! WHEN IS RELAY 4 LIFE?!??!?

“Harry Pottery” Exhibit at MSI, should we go as a house? A haus? We will ask the people at the meeting. Apparently John Binder has no sense of humour.

We have 98 dollars, sick. For the record:

If what Charles and John said could not get them money, then Jesus himself could not get 75 dollars for Compton House. Perhaps Muhammad would be more effective.

Let’s bicker about Shoreland Council.

John, Charles and Sam want to restarck the Box in Charles’ or another’s room.

IHC STUFF:

We are in contention for 100 dollars. How can we mismanage these funds?!?! Only time will tell!

An email sent out about general budget cuts, how that was affecting thangs.

They cutting the maintenance budget, the Shoreland is a large drain, like Britain to India. Wait. What.

Sgt. Roberts says “Sup y’all.”

Charles => Cahrles => Carl’s => Carl = Carl Guo

Sam has one more announcement, the Shoreland Council has 10 million dollars and they are trying to figure out some event to do with the money.

What about transferring people to the New Dorm?

Anna: “Oh! We have to emphasize...”

UHAUL IS SO DANGEROUS AND BAD! UDONOTHAUL.
Jose enjoyed 17 Again. The Cubs won today. Catherine made a really cool thing, but it died.  

House Council Minutes - 4/19

2009-04-19T20:33:00.001-05:00

Tex is here, and we are assessing our truly sad state of funds.

We are going to figure out how many T-Shirts we can buy with the money we have.

We actually are missing money, which could lead to complications.

URGENT ALERT!!

DAN AND ANNA HAVE BEEN EMBEZZLING MONEY FROM THE HOUSE!! NO WONDER THE BOX AND THE T-SHIRT SALE AREN’T PROFITABLE!! LET US REVOLT AND ARREST OUR HYPOCRITICAL CAPITALIST OPPRESSORS!! RISE UP COMPTON! ARISE, ALL YE WHO REFUSE TO BE SLAVES!

John will talk to Dan: 40 T-Shirts, All-Inclusive Price:
$8.14 each | $325.60 total

Poker Tournament this Friday, we need advertise! ALART ALART! DAN AND ANNA OUT OF TOWN THIS WEEKEND!!! PARTAY!!!

Catherine suggests that I “keep the fucking swearing” in these posts.

Poker would sell water and soda, ...or not, thanks John. But now we will have it Friday of 5th week. Scheduled for May 7th.

Sam States is soaked, like a wet dog.

Compton House Minutes April 5, 2009

2009-04-05T20:20:00.000-05:00

Fucking Charles is fucking up our flow by talking about animay.

T-Shirt update: Waiting on forms to be approved.

WAIT THE PHONE IS RINGING!!

Also, the Box could be restarted later on.

Are we going to be tabling the T-Shirt next week.

Igor proceeds to ask very ridiculous questions of the house council. We are more like the house counsel in this respect.

After this week, we will have no more [moar in Charlespeak] student study breaks. Times is tough. Can a brother spare a dime?

Jerry Springer: Monday April 20, 2009 There is a dress code. Jeans and polo shirts are required 4 men, wear your Sunday best. For women, no shirt, too much eye makeup and a baby with an unknown father.

171 Facebook idea.

April 12, 2009 [Easter Sunday] Catherine is hosting a potlatch (because she is Native American) in her room.

Baseball game on the 27th of April to see the White Sox!

Compton House Council: March 30, 2009

2009-03-30T20:50:00.000-05:00

On the agenda: where’s our president? Back from Texas yet?

Anna is convinced that a flux capacitor isn’t real. Little does she know that we have a Delorian out back, ready to go.

12 dollars for house T-Shirts. Jackson did indeed get a haircut, thank you Mike.

Lee has arrived, in Leetastic glory. Igor is here too, “Fucking great...” -- Lukas

Study Break days? Nobody came on Mondays last quarter.

Tex has arrived, and is quite a bum. Anna has something to say, Monday is no longer an option, now it’s just Sunday for sure (when we have our meetings.)

The Box -- no longer a fundraiser.

John is going to be in charge of selling the T-Shirt. Charles has already pretty much failed in his endeavor.

Igor “can fit more shit” in his wagon. The Box has lost apparently like 200-300 dollars probably. Or more. Maybe Dan and Anna are embezzling money, for Lukas.

Poker Tournament? --  
Jerry Springer Trip? Does this raise money for the house in any capacity? Or maybe Judge Mathis?

The house currently has 50 dollars, but we had 100 dollars last time we talked about this, so I’m not sure how we lost 50 dollars over Spring Break.

Check lottery to figure out seniority.

Igor, “You can’t rent jack.” His ferry service for auction people, Lee is SO PISSED about his Megabus tickets.

Anna: “Jake got his...haha.” Truest fact of life.

House Council Minutes, March 8th 2009

2009-03-08T20:29:00.000-05:00

We are now selling the house shirt to the house here in Compton, and for 12 dollars a piece.

There are several things that need to be in place:

Marketing idea:
create the mockup
distribute printouts around campus or post them around

Registering the fundraiser,  
The Box -- No immediate funds to pay for restocking the Box.

Should we cancel our Netflix account? The resounding answer is let’s get rid of it.

Study Break problems: Low turnout, good food. :-/

Charles suggests the house is decaying. Who is to blame? You! You! All of you! (But especially the first-years.)

15 dollars a week for Study Break, this has been resolved.

Sam wonders about this whole gender thing, gender crisis!

March 1st (April Fool's Day...) (JUST KIDDING, MARCH FOOLS!)

HEY WE ARE BACK ERRYONE!! 
Talk has begun to discuss the shirts etc.
 Catherine: Melissa’s emailing privileges should be revoked.

Wow. I really failed this time around guys.

Compton House Council Meeting February 8th, 2009

2009-02-08T21:15:00.001-06:00

As we gather into the room, we realize that Tex won’t be here for this meeting leaving Mike in charge.

Something about “Hal Varian” between Mike and John.

Lee has finally finished the design, which I will now present in an open moment.

Sam supports the relay for life, initially sort of half-heartedly.

Hahahahaha! Let’s laugh at their expense. Hurrah! They must be poor planners if they suggested running at a track in Ratner! Because it doesn’t exist! Eh?!

Anna makes fun of Sam. And she totally is, despite her claims otherwise.

I am confused by this talk about grandmothers.

The house t-shirt design is nearing completion...

Anna: “Ben, don’t touch people’s private parts!”

Lexi: “Don’t get trashed!” Presumably she means rolling in garbage the night before too late so that you are tired the next morning.

Jerry Springer won’t happen until the beginning of next quarter.
 IM sign ups for outdoor soccer and ultimate frisbee are under the next two weeks, we need lots of sign ups! Woo hoo! We don’t want to miss these like we missed broomball.

Catherine makes fun of John’s injuries and then says, “Teehee.” Catherine, I hate you.

Any sort of rationale for doing Mundays and Thorsdays next quarter, or are we happy with the current Cyst A.M.

Catherine suggests that Study Break is not hard, but this, I must add, is only true if you don’t try that hard. Poor form, Catherine.

Jake thinks the idea sucks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GxOduOZdpU

Anna has one more announcement: there is a variety show that was rescheduled for later this Feberry.

Sam talks about Relay 4 Life, and you know what, GREAT! Relay for Life will be awesome. It is May 1st, should be fine. Deep-fried, beer-battered, Power Bars...mmmmm.

House Minutes January 18th

2009-01-18T20:59:00.003-06:00

The house t-shirt will be OH SHI- EVAN IS DED, he cut his finger on glass and it’s bleeding purty bad. Guddam.

Where is Tex? He’s not here at the moment.

We playin the ballooooooooooooooooon game. Dis fun.

Okay, so back to the t-shirts: we need to pick a design.

Charles and I are the smart ones, so let’s do this shit.

Compton Effect (Scattering)

Gangsta Theme (Straight Outta Compton)

At least we’re not Bishop.

Eight is twice as good as four.

Compton: Realm of Sak’ul, Elf-Destroyer of Man

Potentially use Big Will’s, but we don’t like using the same one as last year.

DA BOCKS

Ben wants to know about the SCC...

Compton Photons

Jennie is here to talk to use about the American Cancer society, and the Relay For Life which is related to Colleges Against Cancer.

The New Dorm excitement builds, what Dan said I don't know something about times.

House Minutes: January 11, 2009

2009-01-11T20:22:00.000-06:00

House Council Minutes: The First Congress of Calamity

The meeting has not begun, and we are 6 minutes past our normal starting time.

Correction: make that seven minutes.

Tiffany has a design ready, but has not yet submitted it.

Tex has checked in with Jerry Springer tickets, and we can get them free? They only tape Mondays and Tuesdays...which complicates things for us. They tape around mid-day...would it be possible for people to go?

Tex is seriously looking into a Compton Poker tournament for a house fundraiser...

Half of the pot will go to the house, the other half will go to the first and second winners.

Fogo de Chao or however it’s spelled...”That’s a lot of meat, Sam.” -- Anna “That’s what she said.” -- Mike

HARC rep? Apparently, the Shoreland does not have one. HARC has a ton of money, let's exploit them.

Motorcycle show, not really a show, but an Expo. It’s in Rosemont, which is fairly easily accessible.

Catherine made some kind of sheet that she was able to pathetically articulate with far too many “sh” sounds.

2008-12-01T20:54:00.000-06:00

House Council Notes December 1st, 2008

Under the blanket of snow, we have snuggled to the point of insanity. We all shout our caustic calls for attention while ignoring the serious matters at hand.

Those matters being:

The House T-Shirt!! (What will we do?)

We are giving people a chance to make designs until the end of the quarter, however it seems that we will vote before then?

House Council hereby decrees that we give people until the end of winter break to submit their designs. Designs will be voted on at the beginning of winter quarter.

Secret Santa/White Elephant:

We will do it after break, as part of a way to cheer up people in their perpetual misery and cold.

Anna feels that White Olifant is more appropriate and bondages/dildoes come frequently.

Intramurals are fail. (Quelle dommage! Qu’est-ce qu’on va faire sans cette institution indispensable.)

Jake has an announcement about condoms. Use them. Or die, or produce life, or some combination of the two.

Mike comments about comments: Charles should wear a not on-duty sign. Charles should program music into the elevator.

Ben assumes that EVERYONE likes free cider and doughnuts. Excuse me!

Vat about a trip to ze Kristkindlmaaaaaket? Ve kan go to zis ya?

Igor knows how to sew. He will be Tex’s seamstrer (masculine of seamstress?).

Dan has NO announcements.

Mike wonders how delicious the cake will be: on a scale from one to Mike. Dan says he has no predictions or guarantees concerning the quality of the cake. Must be a commie cake.

Anna remembers her announcement: quiet hours begin 24/7.

11/24 House Meeting Notes

2008-11-24T20:38:00.000-06:00

Anna: John, where did you get your haircut?
John: The Reynold's Club.
Anna: Oh, the barbershop?
John: No, the other place in the Reynolds Club where they cut hair.

IHC wants us to have a UCPD friend. Igor wants to borrow his handcuffs. The pink, fuzzy kind.

Anna just confiscated Lukas' puzzle from Dan. He can have it back at the end of the quarter.

Sunday Study Break. YESSSSSSSS!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

(Anna has class every day next quarter)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

(Study break switching is being put up for a vote)

FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Remember that time John looked like a 5 year old? Remember that time we talked about a house sweatshirt.

Things we need to do at house meeting:
Sweatshirt/T-Shirt Designs
House Thanksgiving Potluck
Cop Friend

House Escalade

Mike is the free press. I gave him some 'free press' last night. Am I right, am I right??

Food drive. Put it under Igor's dining table. Nonperishable canned food.

Bishop house can ~~suck my dick~~ is having a coat drive. We should ~~shit in our sleeves and~~ donate coats to them.

The more of us stay in housing, the more likely there is that we get to stay our own house in the new dorm. So stay. Please. Please. Please. Seriously. Please.

Igor wants to move to Bishop. Fucker.

Lee: Compton Rolls Together.
Charles: We ride together, we die together.
Mike: In our house escalade.

STUDY BREAK.

House Minutes: November 17th

2008-11-17T21:34:00.003-06:00

House Council Meeting November 17th, Two Thousand and Eight

The meeting commences in one minutes.

Charles asks if he can usurp my authority as secretary and write the notes tonight. The answer, is no... He must write his own set and we can “has” a competition.

It seems we have a fairly populated house meeting tonight. And Tex is sitting on Igor’s lap as he complains about his lack of initiative (potentially self-inflicted?)

John Binder has arrived and stolen Dan’s seat.

It is now 8:32, and the meeting has not commenced. 8:34.

Tex now calls people to order. Listhost is up and running, we are up towards the end of the quarter.

Ben has an announcement about the dining plan...there is a new one! HALLELUJAH!

All you care to eat dining halls? Waaaaaaa? It (i.e. BJ & Pierce) will be renovated to match Bartlett supposedly.
 They are getting rid of the three categories. They will create a universal meal plan with unlimited dining.

Scenario A: Everyone in housing gets an unlimited plan.
They are going to charge people 4000 dollars for more shitty food than they could possibly eat. Plus you get 100 dollars per quarter.

Scenario B: more expensive...raises cost of unlimited program slightly but allows rising 3rd and 4th years to keep their minimum or moderate plan

Scenario C: 5 take out meals per quarter?

I think this meal plan believes that people living in housing necessarily eat at their dining halls.

Also, Pierce is cool. (LOL SURCASM)

House Sweatshirt Designs: Do we have any new ones? We are planning to do a house meeting before study break.
Secret Santas this year? Mike had no idea there was Secret Santa last year. Perhaps we could do Secret Satans.

House Minutes: November 10th

2008-11-10T20:58:00.001-06:00

House Council: November 10, 2008

Catherine needs to watch her language, and now she is threatening me and says she will beat me up.

Mike tells me what to write, and Jackson ignores her.
 Catherine is bitter.

Is Tex coming? It’s 8:32, and we are missing quite a bit of people.

Mike doesn’t know what to say. Tex isn’t here, John can’t come.

The budget, how is it? It’s going well according to Dan.

Mike is pedantic about semantics.

The Gala, is anyone interested? I am (me Jackson.)

Tex wanted to organize the Jerry Springer thing. Karina, Erica and Crystal went to it today.

Hey, Lexi is here. :-D We are still discussing Jerry Springer.
 Mike presents the suggestions:

--Jake suggested we have or play more board games, like we did once.
--Dragon Tales themed party?
--Kevin Costner is awesome.
--Joel should be allowed to get with Greg’s sister. Greg should be okay with this.
--We should all travel in single file to conceal our numbers. And we should also scare easily and return in greater numbers.
--Steve Jobs should not be allowed to hack anymore, or wear turtlenecks.
--There should be a public ban on negative externalities, except for Rolando, possibly.
--There should be a Gravlift, also known as a Man Cannon, to travel from Shoreland to campus, and to Guardian as well.

Denise says that we only have one birthday this week, John Binder’s is on Saturday.

Karen still has cookie dough left over.

Catherine states that there has not been anyone to sign up Study Breaks.

Quantum of Solace

Anna says it will be crowded at the inauguration and doesn’t want to go, because she is agoraphobic.

Mike is still feeling sick. Well enough to mock Wolfgang during physics.

Lee and Charles both shake their legs too much, and Anna almost sounded like an Asian racist. Both agoraphobic and xenophobic.

The Marriage Bracket? A bracket? A bracket?

House Minutes: November 3rd

2008-11-03T20:54:00.000-06:00

House Council Meeting November 3rd, 2008

Will the meeting begin?

The meeting is in a state of disarray (unorganized) currently.

House T-Shirt discussion, House Sweatshirt

Tex arrived!

What kind of designs can we get? We need to request T-Shirt designs fairly immediately. Let’s do that at house meeting, sounds great.

Will I make another design? Maybe? Maybe? Probably not.

Sam comes up with a convoluted plan to get things done, like a labyrinth of legalities or loser lumps of lopsided lethargy. No more “L” words.

John Binder is too late, now he must leave.

House Suggestions from the Suggestion Box:

You should repaint the lounge...perhaps we should repaint the ferris wheel?
Do something about the dishes in the sink. Create incentive for people to be sanitary.
Getting a floor vacuum cleaner, this could potentially be a good idea?
Create a Compton House wikipedia page, very easy thing to do.
Whirly Ball, go to it (a place in Lincoln Park), also Laser Tag. So, a trip to Lincoln Park.
We don’t have enough house trips.
Make a schedule or agreement on cleaning the lounge? Perhaps we should just clean up after ourselves.

Joel:

Joel has really awesome suggestions.

What kind of house trips could we have?

--paintball, fogo de chao (sp?)

Compton Cardigan Day:

Once a quarter, anyone who can afford a cardigan shall wear one as directed by the Compton House constitution.

Lee: “You trippin’, yo.”

Denise has a suggestion: use facebook to our advantage.

Dan and Anna shall begin the House Meeting, then we have Joel-nouncements and then.

 Catherine is utterly irrational and demanding. She is dumb. And I (Arthur H. Compton) hate her passionately with a passion.

House Minutes: October 27th

2008-10-27T20:59:00.001-05:00

House Council Meeting: October 27, 2008

Anna presents something serious for discussion.

Two things, actually one thing that’s related? To itself? An intra(?) related item of discussion?

In order to borrow rope you have to put down a 150 dollar deposit...for tug of war.

Shorelympics can’t do three-legged race...but tug of war seems to be expensive.

Anna suggests tying people in knots. Throwing something off the balconies? Paper airplane competition in the lobby balcony?

John thinks he thinks for everyone...that’s right...THINKS for everyone, including Charles Guo.

Denise is actually saying something.

Dodgeball? Eating contest? “Where will we get the balls?” -- Ben Smithgall (he needs them, the balls)

We could use Dan’s rope to have limbo.

Dodgeball passes, and that’s what we’re doing.
 Lexi wants to subsidize the Wicked show, eleven people in the house. 33 dollars, is it worth it to use our funds for? We agree to give 33 dollars to the Wicked people.

Sam shows us that we must request funds from Shoreland Council and they must be used for Shoreland funds.

Evan wants to go to High School Musical 3. Catherine really is being a social chair.

COOKIE COUNTY -- If this makes no sense...kill yourself (to assume Igor’s tone.)

Marriage bracket? This seems like a terrible, terrible, terrible idea. But apparently it’s a good idea, and one that was incredibly developed late last night.

Anna: “What’s a bracket?” No seriously guys, what’s a bracket?

“Just don’t use the word bracket with everyone, they may not understand it.” -- Anna

Compton House Minutes - October 20th

2008-10-20T21:29:00.000-05:00

House Council Meeting -- October 20, 2008

Shut up, Catherine. Don’t tell me what to take notes of. It’s correct. You know why? Jonathan Swift wrote a book on English grammar and based it off of Latin. Totally unrelated to intuitive English rules. In Latin, you literally cannot end a sentence with a preposition, because it doesn’t make any sense. In English, you can. It makes perfect sense. It is an arbitrary rule established by an asshole elitist writer from the 1700s. LAY OFF.

Tex complains of chest pain.

Pumpkin Carving Contest!
--We purchase pumpkins
--Establishing carving teams
--And then provide a fun reward. Come on team!
--House Fundraiser? Effective? Seems more fun, than fun-draising.

Sweatshirt Design:
--Nick Flores, design is good concept, actual design not that great

How can we fund the house. Because we are completely out of funds. Seriously guys.

Can we have a giant tug of war on the beach?

Listen to Ben please.

Sam might have updates from House Council....no he doesn’t. Completely ineffective representatives Tweedle Lee and Tweedle Sam make me sad.

We do? Igor invites people over every Saturday for Tea Night?

Suggestion Box for the House: In the lounge.

Catherine says something true, but I can’t write it because I’ll get in trouble.

Sam drops the big one:

THE SHORELAND COUNCIL WANTS TO WITHHOLD OUR FUNDS.

Turns out, they’ve always done this. But Sam was really fucking dramatic about it.

The vote is more of a procedural thing anyway.

Mike strikes his vocal gavel hard against the soft heads of Catherine and Jake.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS:

Tex wants to make a Jerry Springer trip. I’m not sure if I want this, but my opinion is utterly worthless. Yay life.

Coming Attractions:

A NEW COMPTON HOUSE COUNCIL LISTHOST!!!!!!!

Box advertising...

New stocks. Drugs? I hope not. I don’t want junkies slinking around my room, moaning. Charles fills that role fairly well.

WOROAROAROROAROOROAROAOROROAAR. -- My sentiments.

Denise has one more idea for the house.
--The board in the lounge. Has an idea to make like, a who am I, kind of thing.
--You post something about yourself, and whoever can guess it is teh winrar.

Compton House Council Notes October 13, 2008

Hey, guys. Let’s check this here on this website here.

Tex, our valiant leader, is demonstrating his ability at proficiently foundering chaos.

Mike asked Igor to get the Box things, but Igor has yet to actually produce results.

Lee is being a lil bitch. Lil’ Bitch Lee. (His new rap name.) *grumble grumble*

Denise and Katie did a great job on being Pixies. Birthday Pixies.

Catherine is talking. Shhhhh.

Dan, talks about box prices and advertisements...John mentions the printing thing and is met with much resistance.

The advertising scandal of ’08, how can we make print of our ads.

Tex is creating a listhost for the executive council, way to use technology Tex.

Jackson does everything for house council. EVERYTHING. And will apparently be designing the advertisements as well.

Halloween house lounge. Catherine does not want to do it.

Mike wants to be involved in helping me with the prospies.

Jackson finished one ad...

T-Shirt designs? We could also make sweatshirts.

We could have a design contest. Oh, ingenuity! Person who wins gets free thing.

For next spring, we want to do a mass fundraiser in the spring.

Compton Sweatshirt, and a generic University T-Shirt.

Dan and Anna have some rope, so they are gonna do the 3-legged torture race during the Shorelympics. Dan says, “We have lots of rope.”

Igor made a list of prices. And is delivering them without any sense of compromise but rather as a series of ultimatums.
The Box Price List:

Canned Soda: 0.50
Bottled Soda: 1.50
Monster/Red Bull: 2.00
Rice Krispie Treats, Fruit Rollups, Cheez-Its, Peanuts - 0.50
Reese’s/Snickers/Starburst/Skittles - 0.75
Fruit Snack/packed ramen/lollipops/tic-tacs - 0.25
Ramen Bowl - 0.50
Special K Bars - 1.00
Chef Boyardee - 2.00
Mac n Cheese - 2.00
Toilet Paper - 1.00 per roll

--Jackson

Declaration of War against Bishop

2008-10-07T01:37:00.001-05:00

In several secret sessions during the first week of October, several candidates for election to Compton's house council met to discuss what was termed at the time as "issues of dorm-wide importance" and "critical foreign affairs issues".

On October the 5th, 2008, most of these candidates were elected to prominent house positions, putting this group essentially in control of the house.

Two days later, on October the 7th, 2008, in a show of house unity, Compton House voted overwhelmingly in favor of declaring war on Bishop House for their recent transgressions on sovereign Compton territory and property.

As of this moment, ladies and gentlemen, we are at war. Lock your doors and brace yourselves, it's going to be a rough ride.

House Minutes - 10/7/08

2008-10-07T01:31:00.000-05:00

Compton House Council Meeting:

Now begins the first house council meeting this 6th day of the 10th month of the year of our Compton 2008.

We pleasantly await our residing president, Joseph “Tex” Dozier, who is running late, in typical Texan fashion.

The Condom Czar is told about his duties (giggle giggle). (I said condom and doody.)

Catherine recalls Female Masturbation Appreciation Day. Thank you Catherine Khadabux for this. :)

Anna calls everyone to order after this rollicking jaunt into the sexually tinged giggles.

Jake must learn about dildoes...sorry. The Peer Health Educators Safe Sex workshop is Wednesday, October 22nd at 8 PM in the Shoreland Ballroom.

One of the birthday pixies is absent, probably lost in a pixie dust snorting reverie.

Sam States was in the bathroom. Probably too scared to come.

The Box:

John is pissing me off. Mike will negotiate with the Ukrainian warrior (Igor) about Box prices.

Birthday Pixies:

Katie did door decorations. She did too much possibly, completely wrapping every item in their room, which led to the accidental death of a long forgotten student. RIP.

She also made fun foods and sweets. In all honesty, you can do whatever you want...just make sure you honor their day of birth. It’s fun!

Denise was going to put a bulletin board right by the elevator...so people will recognize your birthday. Great idea, Denise! YEAH GO TEAM!

ALSO, Charles can put things on the website.

Jake’s impersonation of Igor wins pretty well.

House T-Shirts?

WAIT EVERYONE STOP! TEX IS HERE!!! HE MADE IT!!! HE HAS HIS KNIFE AND HIS CAMO AND HIS GIANT BELT BUCKLE!!! HE JUST CAME BACK FROM THE BATTLEFRONT!!!
Perhaps we could advertise against Capone’s.

NO SHIRT NO SHOES SERVICE!! (Pants optional.)

Sam’s Club stocking ain’t bad.

Current House Balance is...............................................................................50+140+400-158-35-25= $372.00 (-25) should come back later... $347.00 -5.00 per month

How much should we allot for Study Break? 20 dollars was probably sufficient.

Install a Movie Suggestion Box:

Install a Box Stocking Suggestion Box:

The lounge is a popular place this year.

House Associate Members: CST, Jake, Tracy, Jordan, Will Zhang, Flo, Sarah Tamler,

John is a jackass again. Mike calls Sarah the girl with the cast.

Jackson is not talking about what Anna thinks he is talking about.

No pranks!

Melissa knows a lot about corn mazes. Haunted corn mazes. Can we have a trip to haunted corn mazes.

A haunted corn maze won’t cost a person that much. It’s just a haunted corn maze.

Let’s test out our new house study break/meeting plan. Monday is aight.

Student Study break is on Thursday, so is Movie Night.

Let’s go to house meeting!!

Katie has one more thing to say...somebody mentioned doing a haunted house in our lounge. Sam notes that this would be “a rather costly endeavor.”
Study break has begun, in all of its frustratingly sustainable glory. Until next time, I probably won’t have any more notes during this house meeting.

House Council Election Results!

2008-10-07T01:25:00.000-05:00

The votes are in for the 2008-2009 Compton House Council members! Here's who you picked to lead our fine house:

--If the smoke hits one fire alarm, won’t set building off, if it hits two, you’re pretty much f**ked.

--CHOPIN, mail forwarding address (this is really important).

--Storage, up to 5 items...there is always a possibility of damage, but it’s not a big deal too much.

--There are certain hours for you to put your things up on the 13th floor, there will be a specialized person there to ward off the bad luck from it being on the 13th floor.

--Igor has a question about moving out. How clean do we have to make our room?

--START PACKING NOW.

I thank you all for an exciting year here in Compton!

--J. Noble Wright, Secretary of Compton House 2008 (Spring Quarter)

Charles was working on the site, but compton house is not a legit
entity according to the assholes at google. Assholes. THAT'S RIGHT
BLOGGER AND/OR GOOGLE WHO OWNS YOU, YOU ARE ASSHOLES. READ THIS.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

Anyway, that is all the news. Our house meeting has degenerated and
has proven the scientific principle that I can't remember about things
heating up making chaos, something about ENTROPY AND MC HAWKING.

Welcome to the Compton House webpage! Clearly this has been down for a long while; the previous webmaster had coded in a pretty elegant interface, but due to problems with spambots on a different house's site, Rescom had to take down PHP support, leaving us with a broken house webpage. So I've instead had to resort to using iframes (oh god the horror) and hosting dynamic content off-site, including it only when necessary through iframes. Besides the iframes (which are a necessity), though, the design is pretty simple and elegant, if I say so myself.

Regardless, everything is still backed up, so we haven't lost anything. This space will most likely be used to post house minutes and issues to take opinions, whereas the calendar function (hosted by Google Calendar) will list house and dorm-wide events, so you can plan out your days with a little less hassle.

The update's come at the end of the year, I realize, but this means it'll be that much more of a resource to incoming first-years next year. I hope you all find the house website useful in the meantime!

Hey!  Thought I'd send these over to everyone and renew the one-time tradition.

I, secretary, am excited about study break because it's chocolate.
Dunes are being rescheduled.  The harvesting of the spice shall have to wait.
Should we keep meeting as a council each week?  Is this effective atall towards the end of the quarter?  Why are we here?  What is themeaning of life?
Lisa shaved her head again.  Sinead O'Conner style.
Lexi is (not) racist.
Order! Order!
Charles Stephen Thompson has something to say.
People who go abroad, they are voting on that.  Noah, the IHC rep, has arrived.
Punishment for people who go abroad?  Seventh week there is a vote todetermine any changes in quiet hours.  700 responses to a survey aboutquiet hours, power would be devolved to the dorms.   Weekday could notstart before 10 PM and not after 1AM.  Weekends: Midnight and 3 AM. Shoreland Council shall decide our fate, they are the true JEDI.

The Covenant keeps pwning Greg.  Silly Greg, intergalactic war is forkids.  Or spartans.CST has another announcement.  He's a bum.  It would be a good idea tomake a movie list for the house to make.

Joel and Greg like to break people's kneecaps.

Compton Minutes 2/10/08

There’s a push to clothe Compton.  Nudity is NO LONGER an
option.  So we’re considering one huge Compton shirt—big
enough for all of us.  Finally the clothing crisis will end!
Joel, however, would like a wifebeater.  Hannah said that was
a good idea, but she needs 5 so as to beat all of her wives
equally. 

In a feat of promptness and efficiency worthy of the Human
Rights Council, the HoCo once again voted unanimously to pass
a non-binding resolution to create flyers advertising the Box.

Next Quarter!  We’ll be having a big trip to somewhere.
Options are Cedar Point, King’s Island, Six Flags, and
Medieval Times.  Cedar Point is where we keep the Awesome,
King’s Island has all the Suck, Six Flags has more Awesome
than King’s Island but significantly less than Cedar Point.
Nonetheless, Medieval Times has all the midgets so looks like
that has our votes. 

Kenna, a lovely representative from Dance Marathon persuaded
all of Compton to sign up for DM.  We’re all overflowing with
philanthropic zeal to help Children’s Place Association which
gives counseling to kids who are dealing with AIDS in some
manner.  Look on "coup.uchicago.edu/dm" for more information
and to actually sign up. 

In a few weekends we’ll be “in ur orientl institute, barfng on
ur artifaks” as Anna leads us around and explains things to
us.  We’ll also have morphed into adorably fuzzy kittens. 

We’re going to Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me this Thursday!  Yay!
Be ready to leave at 5:30 if you want to get Chipotle.
Later, if you don’t want Chipotle.  But honestly, who doesn’t
want Chipotle?  I mean, usually when you roll something this
good, it’s illegal. 

Noah doesn’t have any announcements but he’s going to say
something.  Tell him if you want cheaper printing.  Would it
make you print more?  (The correct answer is no, because
that’s not environmentally healthy.)  Also, there’s a Master
Plan in the works.  Tell Noah how YOU want the University to
take over the Universe.  Blitzkrieg, anyone?
 On that note, Joel wants a life-size replica of the
Millennium Falcon.

The Compton Weather Service declares it “Cold As Balls”
outside.   

TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF!  NOW!  UNPLUG YOUR HAIRDRYERS AND CELL
PHONES AND TV’S AND NINTENDO 64’S!  SAVE THE EARTH!!!!!!!!

Here they are, in all their glory!

•The Box:  it’s stocked and we’re making posters. 

•Fill out housing survey!  DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!!

•Seriously, sign up to “Wait, Wait, Don’t tell Me.”  It’ll be
cheap and AWESOME.  Way, way better than that $20
“professional lady” you picked up for you date to the Fiji
party.  I mean, she was a hit with the brothers, but is all
that gonorrhea really worth it?   But no, srsly, email Dan or
Anna.

•Noah, who wants to keep an eye on the returning sun, would
like to set up a “Sun Monitoring” Party to make sure it gets
up on time. 

•The Yule ball was a rollicking success; all the lords and
ladies looked simply fabulous.

•Lexi’s having a sleepover in the lounge!  Also, there’s a SEX
workshop!  (Aimed at guys, but for the ladies, if you know
what I mean.  *Wink, Wink*)

•I went walking in with my mama one day,
When she warn me what people say,
Live your life until love is found,
'cause love's gonna get you down.

•Feel Pressured! Seriously, all the cool kids are doing it.
The only reason for NOT doing it is because you’re lame, and
we don’t want to hang out with lame people.  Honestly, you
won’t have any friends unless you suck it up.

•Resident Master’s Study Break on Wednesday is going to be
AMAZING.  You should definitely go.  Totally rad, man.

Compton 10-21-07

Yes, we realize minutes didn’t come out last week. No, we don’t care. Yes, we are using the royal we.
Jackson, in adorable naiveté, thinks the fall formal is “cool.” He’s clearly too young to remember the horrors of high school prom, and how Betsy Parr wouldn't even look at me after I asked her to go, and then she went out with that TOTAL JERK Sullivan, and then at the prom him and his stupid jock friends wouldn't stop making fun of me for taking my mom, and then Sullivan made out with my mom, and then I tried to punch because I was SO ANGRY and I HATED HIM SO MUCH AND NEED TO KILLLL!!
Ahem.
At any rate, Jackson and my therapist think we should put the past behind us and go to the Fall Formal and would like to remind us that tickets are on sale in the Reynold’s Club.
This Wednesday (All Hallows Eve) kids are coming to the Shoreland to trick-or-treat. Cheap candy will be sold in the lobby Monday and Tuesday so you don’t have to do that creepy “trick” your Uncle Ned always does to get rid of them and thus don't have to try to convince the parole board that it was all a mistake, honest.
Shoreland Councilà meal points used for different study breaks, can’t get 5 anymore, only 1 so need more people to give ISO numbers. I hope that makes sense to someone, because I'm pretty sure it heralds an end to free food.
Guests are not prospective students even if they are prospective students. That's some real Zen, HoCo. It's like this one time, Roswell, the Philosopher-King, was all “For though all creatures under heaven are the products of Being, Being itself is the product of Not-being”, and I was all “Daaamn!”
Speaking of Being being Not-being, the being “Jackson” needs to figure out if there are PSAC meetings that he’s not going to, and if someday he'll fly away, and leave all this to yesterday.
The answer is no: humans can't fly, and your past is a relentless Juggernaut that will eventually run you down and crush you under regret. Also: PSAC.
Baby update: 2 weeks old. Good eater. Going to pediatrician tomorrow. A discussion of breast milk and antibodies followed the baby update until one of the antibodies came into contact with a regular body, and they annihilated each other, destroying the entire city in a violent burst of gamma rays. It was pretty lame.

Patty, in constant amazement, coos “Ooooh” at the sight of a House Meeting in the Lounge, until she was distracted by shiny coins.
Awesome, we have condoms, and not just royal we. The rest of you common folk have them too. They’re hidden in various places but if you can come to 811 to get them you should because Igor wants to know more about you. He’s really lonely.
Lock your doors, thefts have been happening. Also, don’t overload elevators, either physically or emotionally. Just the other night, I was woken up by an elevator sobbing in the lounge. Please stop laying all your worries down on them before I run out of industrial-strength tissue.

This week’s minutes

We donated $50 to the Yule Ball, in a vain attempt to salve the horrible wounds of our conscious. It didn't work, but that should be a nice ball.
Lexi wants us to buy a big pot, for reasons unclear, although she said something about “making a nice stew from all the dismembered body parts of my victims”. Oh, that Lexi.
Dave and Buster’s Adult arcadeà $8 transportation + $10/hr/person + $ for food/ booze. subsidy will happen. Dinner @ the Berghoff. Next Saturday @ 6 PM. Transmission end.
How much money should we allocate for the pot fund? $25 -$30 will buy us like half an ounce, and we should also consider buying a bon... Oh. Like, a stew pot fund. Right. Because what other kind of pot would one buy? Certainly nothing illegal!
There is a sweet coin machine in the supply closet, use it for all your sweet coin needs.
Trick-or-treaters come at 6 TONIGHT! Prepare yourself, and remember to keep an eye out for Lily, in case she tries to eat one of the young 'uns.
Halloween movie marathon, Wednesday in the lounge. After: Jackson sits in his room with all the lights on and tries to forget the scary people.
Football: we won on Saturday! Yay!
Stop playing music. It’s irritating the people below us. Subwoofers should be off the floor. Keep shrieking to minimum. Superwoofers can be left wherever you please.
Let Noah know that you support the idea of making quiet hours later. Or oppose this plan. Whichever, let him know. Or don't. Look, just do what you want, I can't stop you.
Harc has lots of money, try to exploit this, and divert some to the pot fund. No, not the stew pot fund.

Compton Minutes 10/7/07

The Office of the Secretary is buzzing like a hive of
carnivorous bees that’s been poked with a stick over how to
explain last week’s lapse in minute-reporting.  Various
excuses have been suggested, including:  the secretary was
kidnapped by vicarious banshees, the minutes consumed
themselves out of boredom before they could be transcribed,
and a massive porn-bomb struck headquarters resulting in mass
hysteria.  However, we believe that we’ll stick to a simple
terrorist-mafia-vendetta arson story.  So, the bits of minutes
that survived the flames were:
• No prospies this quarter.  (Hurrah!)
• House meetings to be at 9:00 every Sunday, HoCo at 8:30
• Party Policy:  we have one, same as last year, determined to
be “decent.”
• In a swift coup d’etat, the Tilli-led militia arm of the
HoCo set the Constitution aflame, instituting life terms for
officials, and severe reprisals for even partial male nudity.
The masses are apathetic. 
• Also, our volleyball team will DESTROY ALL OPPONENTS!!!!!
So play, already.

Compton Minutes 10/14/07

• Confusion reigned as Supreme-Dictator-For-Life Tilli,
(hereby to be known by her full title only) canceled the house
meeting, then called a late HoCo meeting, then demanded that
it be held in Zaire. 
• No, in all seriousness, meetings will be held every week:
HoCo at 9:00, HM at 9:30, and Study Break at 10:00.
Bam-Bam-Bam, no “I’ll go do homework in this half hour,” but
then you don’t, because you’re a lazy bum.   
• And now the Budget, with Asian Treasurer, Terrence Oey.
Terrance?  Why thank you, Tilli.  We have approximently US
$1026 to spend on worthy endeavors such as trips to Cedar
Point, and annexing other Houses into The Greater Democratic
Peoples’ Republic of Compton.  And now, back to you, Tilli.
• But creating a Shoreland hegemon will cost more than that,
won’t it, omniscient Secretary?  Why yes, my curious little
bullet point.  Luckily next Saturday, our powerful Crushers
will have a chance to win gold and glory at the InterHouse
Tug-of-War.  Also, you have to go, because the dining halls
will be closed. 
• Alicia, realizing that Jackson is still essentially a fetus,
being only 17, warned him never to have sex.  Ever.  He ruined
her hopes by revealing that her warning came too late, he’d
already had sex. 
• Tex will be placing a sheet of paper in his room, no, not in
his room, on his door, no, in the lounge, no not the floor of
the lounge, on the bulletin boards, upon which you can put
down your number to donate meal points to the Shoreland
Barbeque. 
• Sadly, our house remains at risk of mass pregnancy and
syphilis.  A mummy’s worth of red tape encases our valiant
Condom Tzar.  After all, you can’t just hand out free condoms
to hormonal college students willy-nilly.  Imagine the chaos,
and condom shortages that would befall us!  Why, we’d have to
reopen the old emergency WWII era condom mines in Alaska!


Good Luck, kids.

House Minutes - 09/30/07

2007-09-30T23:35:00.000-05:00

The most Austere and Glorious High Council of Compton House convened this Sunday, September 30 in the year of our Lord, 2007 at 8:34 PM. House Meeting convenes at 9:03 PM. Most Exalted President-for-Life, Tillie presiding.

• George's peaceful daydreaming of his rural Idaho home on the Salmon River was rudely interrupted by that obnoxious Tillie and her vagabond collective, “The House Council”. Man, what do those guys even do?
• I'm glad you asked, parent bullet point! What they do is fundraising, conflict management, feeding the hungry, and planning extra house trips; in short, the House Council bes (that's a word, dammit!) all it can be, just like the Army – but presumably they won't be outsourcing to Blackwater, although....
• They certainly have the money (about US $621, which would get us someone for... half a day?). Such discussions of mercenaries (excuse me, “private security firms”) are actually kind of pointless, as the money is tied up in an offshore account in Haiti. Motion to let RH’s handle all transactions, bribes, and laundering passes unanimously.
• We found our constitution! Unfortunately it was written in 1983 and certain clauses (such as mandatory wearing of power suits by all) are a bit outdated, but we should probably keep the one about continuously playing Quiet Riot. Connie volunteered to re-write the constitution, in order to expunge all references to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (which she hates, like, so much), but Tillie, cradling her copy of Def Leppard's Pyromania, asked that she merely suggest changes. Alicia voted for “clean, easy” constitution changing, but that sounds lame, let's have a revolution.
• Main issue: should re-election be per quarter or per year? Tex, holstering his six-shooter and spitting out his chaw, proposed that the first act be to increase office terms (and salaries) but Connie’s hesitancy at this whole-hearted plunge into the clinging seas of corruption prevailed, leading Tex to mutter about “them no good eastern folk” and go rustle some cattle.
• Actually, you know what? I'm tired of this. It's always about you, and your wants, and your needs! But I'm a warm blooded copy of the minutes, and I have needs too! Needs like alternates for the Royal Shoreland Navy. Igor and Ricardo? I'm looking at you.
• Speaking of forced conscription, Bethany is now a member of Her Majesty’s Royal Birthday Pixies.
• Party Policy: We should have one. Actually, why bother? The revolution's comin', man, it's a-comin'.
• Noah is responsible for taking IHC to Compton and Compton to IHC: this is good, because who but Noah could support all that weight? While we're on this subject, how did he get a cybernetic exoskeleton, anyway? And why is he always going on about “returning to the mothership”?
• Jackson is responsible for finding floors for the booming population of homeless first-years so they don't have to sleep on the walls. I mean seriously, how impractical is that?
• Igor is responsible for keeping our eggs unfertilized, in any way possible. Except for eating them? I guess we'll see.
• Connie has a question? What is like, going to, like, be like done with the like website? Like? A: Jackson or someone else will keep it updated.
• In a surprise move, Tillie vastly expanded her executive powers by giving herself the ability to post directly to the listhost. Responding to cries of indignation, she cited “executive privilege” and claimed that her opponents are stuck in a “pre-9/11 mentality.”
• If you need to be reimbursed for something, give Terrence your receipt within one week. Please note, he's no longer reimbursing people for their tuition.
• Connie actually has a question? Where are study breaks to be held? The HoCo (did I mention that's the new name for the House Council?) couldn't come up with a good answer, just like the Congressional Democrats.
• Ho ho! Politics!
• A motion to trap the Phantom of the White-board and move into an abandoned opera house was made, but failed when Lily stole the white-board and retreated into her secret passages in the walls, from which she watches us while we sleep.
• Connie moved that Tex be re-designated Town Crier. A cacophony of farm-animal sounds resounded from the masses, but Tex tried to decline the post, as “cowboys don't cry no tears”. When it was pointed out that's a double negative, he sheepishly accepted and will now cry all the time for no reason.
• A study-break sign-up sheet will be placed in the lounge. Study breaks will be held on Wednesday nights. For reimbursement up to $20 give Terrence your receipts within one week. For reimbursements over $20, learn how to rob banks.
• Lots of events going on. Look at the walls for more information. Preferably, look at the parts of the walls which have posters on them, but feel free to stare blankly if that's your thing (Maggie, I'm looking at you).
• Apple picking on Oct. 13. “It’s an apple wonderland!” Which I guess means that apples totally dig it? Be there or be elsewhere.
• Halloween we open our doors to the neighborhood kids so they can trick-or-treat without being mugged, and so Lily can feed her insatiable cravings for blood.
• Lexi is planning an outing to Dave and Busters which is “an adult arcade.” Jackson: “An adult arcade?” Yes Jackson, an adult arcade. Go a boy, leave a man.
• Our Condom Czar was equipped with the traditional Condom Riot Gear and instructed to allow the dispersion of condoms in EMERGENCIES only. Unfortunately, several hundred of the house condoms have gone missing. In no doubt completely unrelated news, Damon looked very, very tired but very, very satisfied.
• The Box is Compton’s fundraiser and is in Nina’s room (812). It has all manner of good, clean, legal fun (you lost me at “clean”), so stop by and blow some green. “Blow some green” means “spend money” in this context, because this is good, clean, legal fun.
• Tex, while combing down his horse and dealing stud with one hand, used the other to sign his announcement that Flag Football starts this Saturday at 3 PM and we need more ladies to go out. Just show up and play.
• Also, volleyball (at which we dominate) will begin soon. An email is forthcoming.
• Katie reminded the masses that movie night starts this Thursday and though she would appreciate suggestions she will not be playing anything that demonstrates alternative meanings of the phrases “blow some green”, “adult arcade”, “an apple wonderland”, or “throbbing manpile”.
• During the birth of Compton’s Crown Prince or Princess, their Royal Majesties Dan and Anna have graciously arranged for substitutes to solve our petty squabbles. Their email addresses would have been on the whiteboard, before Lily stole it, now they'll just have to tattoo them onto everyone's hands. Again.
• Meeting concludes at 9:22.
