Howell House Minutes, 9/23/01

Recapped:

• 'Marble poundcake' is a loaded term in Howell these days, but the midweek was delicious and whipped-creamy (see note on orgo, above).
• Common Ground Fair- for those of you who deigned not to attend, it was fabulous- pea soup, peacocks, Colby harassment, and...alpacas. Rural and ovine: two of my favorite adjectives.
• Common Good- Claire likes it! So did most people, from the looks of it, although the turnout was less than incredible.
• Movie Marathon- the movies were Mall Rats, Memento, and Mystery Men. Nick claims coincidence. Another one's in the works, since this one only ran until what, four a.m.?

Upcoming:

• First Professor Dinner of the year- tomorrow at Howell. If you didn't sign up for this one, come to next week's meeting....
• Counting Crows, October 11th. So far 5-6 people have signed up.

In the works:

• Dance party with the AM, hopefully over the weekend of October 19-21.
• ...which is the same weekend as the tentatively scheduled scavenger hunt- more on that as it surfaces, but we need cold cash to make this work, so hit up your class treasurers when you see them.
• How do people feel about having a rickshaw contest over Homecoming, maybe instead of a chair-building contest?

Treasurer's note:
We have $5217.29.

Since that looks so lonely by itself, I'd like to include some lines from my favourite mathematician:

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood
And burbled as it came!

Thank you.
