Trancos 08-09: Meeting Minutes



Dorm Gov Meeting of October 7, 2008:__________________________________________________ In case you weren't there or wanted to be reminded of the announcements (it helps to view the pictures): The meeting started off with some Full Moon on the Quad information from Carmel, our PHE. She really knew a lot so ask her about it. For all the guys and girls into girls that missed, there was a sneak preview: Or not. Then Otis, our nymphomaniacal stud of a Frosh Council Rep, swore to reign terror, sexual terror, on any freshman who did not complete an NSO survey. Then our forgetful incubus forgot to announce this stuff until later but I'll include it now for continuity. If you haven't noticed yet, it is homecoming weekend and many alums will be around. There will also be a football game with a tailgate (a sexy tailgate) and an a cappella show (yeah you'll read that a couple times over). He also mentioned something about excited old people; look for Otis's bad self to get freaky this weekend, apparently he is excited by old rich people. Outside announcements: Dining people introduced themselves. Something about non-profits. Be counted is a facebook app. about voting. FYI I already voted, and Kelley got a shirt because the man thought she was mentally challenged. Then I easily gave the worst announcement of the night about IM sports and no one cares. President Phan whipped out the freshly printed dorm roster and half the dorm laughed at the fools who listed their screen names. Humorous anecdote time, long story short: Chris Young missed house meeting and afterwards said, "If only I could call Julien to ask him for his electric guitar." Little did he know I had Julien's number in my room on my brand new roster. Hahahaha hilarious. SECOND FLOOR DESSERT(FOOD) PROGRESSIVE. Tentatively friday the 17th from 7-9 PM. Somebody will ask each room what they want and somebody will go get it. Molly, our community service rep, talked about service opportunities on and off campus. -EPATT (Tennis + tutoring) -Gumball Capital ($) -SNAP (YMCA swimming) -Alternative Spring Break (service oriented week) -applications start monday and deadline is early November, which I might add seems way too early President Phan informed the dorm populous about the upcoming survey which will include questions about dorm life in general, from what to buy to what to do on trips. Toni made a Green Living Council announcement: Love food. Hate Waste. and We will all pledge to be green sometime soon. Kelley will hunt you down and murder you if you do not fulfill this pledge. and We learned extra Wilbur food goes to homeless through the organization SPOON. Jack then took a box of Ritz crackers. First floor sophomores took the salsa. And the Oreos disappeared really fast. I was then informed that "skank swings a big stick if you know what I mean." I don't so I am just going to repeat it here. Sadly Maria no longer threatened announcers to strip and, again sadly, our house meeting did not look like this: Also I wore a suit. Kelley wore a Dino Suit. And for all the guys or girls into girls that missed, all the girls were in their birthday suits.

Dorm Gov Meeting of October 7, 2008:__________________________________________________

In case you weren't there or wanted to be reminded of the announcements (it helps to view the pictures):

The meeting started off with some Full Moon on the Quad information from Carmel, our PHE. She really knew a lot so ask her about it. For all the guys and girls into girls that missed, there was a sneak preview:

Or not.

Then Otis, our nymphomaniacal stud of a Frosh Council Rep, swore to reign terror, sexual terror, on any freshman who did not complete an NSO survey. Then our forgetful incubus forgot to announce this stuff until later but I'll include it now for continuity. If you haven't noticed yet, it is homecoming weekend and many alums will be around. There will also be a football game with a tailgate (a sexy tailgate) and an a cappella show (yeah you'll read that a couple times over). He also mentioned something about excited old people; look for Otis's bad self to get freaky this weekend, apparently he is excited by old rich people.

Outside announcements:
Dining people introduced themselves.
Something about non-profits.
Be counted is a facebook app. about voting. FYI I already voted, and Kelley got a shirt because the man thought she was mentally challenged.

Then I easily gave the worst announcement of the night about IM sports and no one cares.

President Phan whipped out the freshly printed dorm roster and half the dorm laughed at the fools who listed their screen names. Humorous anecdote time, long story short: Chris Young missed house meeting and afterwards said, "If only I could call Julien to ask him for his electric guitar." Little did he know I had Julien's number in my room on my brand new roster. Hahahaha hilarious.

SECOND FLOOR DESSERT(FOOD) PROGRESSIVE. Tentatively friday the 17th from 7-9 PM. Somebody will ask each room what they want and somebody will go get it.

Molly, our community service rep, talked about service opportunities on and off campus.
-EPATT (Tennis + tutoring)
-Gumball Capital ($)
-SNAP (YMCA swimming)
-Alternative Spring Break (service oriented week)
-applications start monday and deadline is early November, which I might add seems way too early

President Phan informed the dorm populous about the upcoming survey which will include questions about dorm life in general, from what to buy to what to do on trips.

Toni made a Green Living Council announcement:
Love food. Hate Waste.
and
We will all pledge to be green sometime soon. Kelley will hunt you down and murder you if you do not fulfill this pledge.
and
We learned extra Wilbur food goes to homeless through the organization SPOON.

Jack then took a box of Ritz crackers. First floor sophomores took the salsa. And the Oreos disappeared really fast.

I was then informed that "skank swings a big stick if you know what I mean." I don't so I am just going to repeat it here.
