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.

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

House Minutes: November 17th
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
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
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
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
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.

Declaration of War against Bishop
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
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.
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.

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.

First post!
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!

House Minutes - 04/27/08
Hey! Thought I'd send these over to everyone and renew the one-time tradition.
Compton House Minutes:
Nothing to note really. Igor is going to ask Shoreland Council aboutour money from the blood drive.
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.
DORMSLAND, the imaginary land of interhouse council. Like the United Nations.
Noah wants to decide about the thing. Mike has a compromise where youapply to keep your seniority.
In House lottery is a week from Tuesday, will be held in the lounge.
Fantasy Housing League?
Dunez camping end of 7th week.
Joel has an announcement: In Episode III of Star Wars, GeneralGrevious' loss of hands was incredibly anti-climactic, "it coulda beena way better fight."
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 has some personal favorites he would like to add to the list.(vol. 54 and 5 respectively).
Joel and Greg like to break people's kneecaps.
IRON MAN THIS WEEKEND WITH LEXI. LETS WATCH ROBERT DOWNEY JR. BE ANIRON MAN. INTOXICATED.

House Minutes - 02/10/08
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!!!!!!!!

House Minutes - 01/21/08
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.
Hannah
