CIF Figurehead Position: This idea was brought up by Bobby Ramsay and would be summarized (by Dan) as such:
The figurehead title is an honorary award given by board and the previous figurehead to someone who has gone above and beyond their given duties on CIF. The title remains with the individual until they graduate. During their last semester at the University of Rochester, they will hold a closed meeting with board to decide upon the next figurehead. The title, unlike the Nauticock Award, gives no special benefit to the titleholder. It is meant only for the purposes of recognition of someone who has done a great deal for CIF during their time there.
We'll get this ironed out in the couple of weeks!
CIFnic Date: Our first choice for the date for CIFnic would be Saturday, April 3. Our second choice would be Saturday, April 10. This is early enough to avoid conflict with D-Day, the reading period, and exams.
Zombie Defense Coalition (ZDC): Basically, we're trying to restart this campus awareness group. This committee would be a branch of advertising and have their own flavor of events around campus — they would report to Board with their plans and any requests. We'll limit the number on the committee to 4 or 5 people, but everyone is definitely welcome to participate.
Banking: The only idea that Linda can think of to get around Chase's inactivity fees is this:
- Open a Chase Checking Account for CIF
- Use the account for 5 extremely small purchases for herself (as in, $.80 Special K bars at the Corner Store and swipe the CIF checking account card 5 times)
- Replenish the CIF Checking Account from Linda's own personal checking account for the total of the 5 purchases.
I fully realize this is a lot of power to entrust to me and possibly to any of my successors. But I cannot think of any other way to solve our situation. We'll be discussing this and putting it up for a vote for the next floor meeting.
Events Coming Up: For the next game night, what if we had a poker night along with fun fancy dress attire? We could all pay $1 for say 20 or 25 pieces of candy for our "gambling chips" for whatever game we choose to play. And fancy dress-up would add extra fun! Also, Andrew has around 25
RiffTrax movies, which are a Mystery Science Theatre 3000-ing (MST3K) of recent popular movies. It would be great to bring together our projector in one of our suites with these funny movies and have a great night!
Application Craziness: After lots of discussion with lots of great people, we have accepted Robert Yoon and Joe Colaruotolo as On-Floor CIF members and Katie Pieper, Elle Eghigian, and Trevor Filer as Off-Floor CIF members! Congratulations to all of you and thank you for making it to our membership extravaganza!
