IHC Minutes: March 8, 2005
meeting called to order in Lloyd
absent: Mike Chang, guest: Chris Wetzel
- summer housing
- try to get feel for how many ppl are staying in each house
- announce office hours to houses – tomorrow (and all Wednesdays) 4-5 in
student services
- still need emblems from Avery, Lloyd for rings
- definition changes
- first = Avery as part of IHC, second = IHC reps must be
elected
- Dabney said yes to both, Ricketts yes on first/no on second,
Blacker and Ruddock yes on first (haven’t voted on second), Fleming yes on
both, Page yes on second (haven’t voted on first)
- faculty/student interaction
- faculty say noticed degradation of house dinners, want to be
involved but feel uncomfortable at meal where rolls thrown, etc
- maybe houses could tone down dinners when faculty are there?
- faculty would rather come to dinner than lunch so they can get
specific hosts
- why do faculty want to come to house dinners if they don’t like
them?
- students want to have fun at dinner, might be annoyed at
changing traditions just to appease faculty
- judge house by house, also by specific prof – either just invite
faculty to dress dinners, or try to tone down normal meals when faculty
come
- could have a “faculty night,” so then 2 good nights per term per
house

be, etc.
