IHC Minutes: January 27, 2005

meeting called to order in Page

absent: Phil, Barrett; guests: Erik Dreyer, Neil Choudri

  1. Change to bylaws
    • Making IHC reps elected - passed by Page, not passed by Ricketts – concern that targeted directly at Avery
    • Requiring IHC reps to be undergrads – passed by Page and Ricketts
    • Still don’t know how Ruddock ex-comm voted...
  2. Summer housing
    • S. houses want to live in mods instead of N. houses
  3. Student Investment Fund (SIF) - Neil
    • Run by students
    • Institute wants to take over (making too much money) – SIF wants to ratify bylaws preventing that from happening
    • Changes must go through review committee – Neil, 3 faculty, 2 IHC members
      • Pick from new IHC members – Mike Chang, Matt Krogstad
  4. Prefrosh reps – all houses are set
  5. UCC lists – need to send to Sue C.
  6. CRC reps
    • In order to have them elected, need to change ASCIT bylaws
    • Revamping CRC in general – put CRC co-chair on ASCIT?
  7. Mods – need to come up with lists of modifications ppl might want to make
    • Loft beds
    • Hammocks
    • Suspending furniture
    • Walls – picture hooks, etc
    • Changing lighting
    • Locks on doors
    • Paint
    • Flooding rooms?
  8. Where 2 rooms connect – what will locks be like?
  9. S. Houses will each get additional off-campus house for year in mods
    • Want off-campus ppl to be grouped by house if possible – some in Braun, some in Chester? All in Braun? 3-4 rooms in Chester (triples), or ~7 rooms in Braun (probably singles, maybe doubles though)
  10. Avery for next year – housing guaranteeing 25 unaffiliated spots?
  11. Other Avery stuff
    • Rewriting constitution to have elected position
    • This year election will be 2nd week third term, but in future try to have closer to other house elections
    • Need to change resolutions to have 8 voting members on IHC – now or later?
    • How will house membership work?
    • Can grad students vote for representative?
      • Without changing bylaws, we can’t make rules about it, only suggestions
