IHC Minutes: March 29, 2004

meeting called to order in Fleming House

all present, no guests

  1. meeting with Tom before break
    • longest dinner ever
    • he brought up points about the administration's involvement, also about 8th house that will be created
  2. alumni dinner last week
    • Hesper and Barrett went - good food (and it was free!)
    • Barrett talked to some alumni who don't want freshmen in Avery
    • Kim: Alumni Association doesn't have an official view on prefrosh issue, so make sure presentation doesn't come across that way
  3. presentation, presentation, presentation
    • Kim will do opening and conclusion
    • Penny and Quimby will split up the rest
    • Meet tomorrow at 4 in SAC33 to finalize presentation
    • Make a handout? - just use slides, put in outline form
  4. housing renovations
    • definitely going for modular housing instead of moving into the Cats (assuming price can be reduced)
    • can go take tour of trailers Wednesday morning 9am
    • will have to put 3 people in each room, but still less "squeezed in" than we would be in Cats
    • trailers will have bathrooms, but not kitchenettes
      • redoing Chandler
    • maybe get 2-story modular houses, so they'll take up less space
    • committee will be set up to look at architect proposals - want undergrad on committee
  5. RA interviews
    • no one knows when they are happening…
    • Tom Mannion is really busy, hasn't had time to take care of it
  6. plans for new campus center
    • will go by old security headquarters
    • look really nice :)
  7. for next time
    • discuss athletics - invite Jeff to meeting
