IHC Minutes: April 20, 2005

meeting called to order in Ruddock

guests: Ransom Poythress, Ewen Chao

  1. Mural discussion
    • Brandi reports that people from housing came again to Dabney to paint the walls. She kicked them out of the house and called Margo Marshak and Tom Mannion. Tim Chang claimed the painting was again a miscommunication, and said that Dabney would have 48 hours to paint over "offensive" images. Brandi told Tim Chang we would re-paint over the weekend.
  2. Discussion of possible rotation violations during prefrosh weekend
    • We will meet at 7:30 pm in SAC 33 to discuss whether or not any reports of rotation violations need to be pursued.
  3. Room picks for next year
    • Blacker room picks were yesterday
    • Dabney room picks are tonight and Ricketts are on Sunday
    • Blacker had some trouble filling all of their spots in the modular housing, and Dabney and Ricketts are worried about having similar problems.
    • Avery will have to kick out about 25 residents. There is some discussion of putting Avery members who aren't able to get spots in Avery in left-over mod space.
    • Also, houses can reserve a few additional spots for Frosh just in case the Frosh class is large. (And there is some suggestion that the yield will be high this year.)
  4. Discussion of multi-purpose mods
    • There is still some confusion over which houses will share which multi-purpose mods and other details (such as whether or not TV's will be in the multi-purpose mods).
    • We resolve to discuss the details in a later meeting, perhaps with only the south house presidents present.
  5. Avery roompicks and membership issues.
    • Avery does not wish to distinguish between members who picked into Avery as a freshman and who picked in as unaffiliated spots.
    • There is some question as to whether or not Avery residents will be double-billed if they live in Avery unaffiliated spots and do not consider themselves Avery "members".
  6. Rotation rules discussion
    • There is discussion about what is and is not allowed in talking to prefrosh and frosh about different houses.
    • This issue will be discussed further at tonight's meeting.
  7. Interhouse Athletics
    • D'Auria is going to write up the athletics schedules for next year. Avery will be part of this, so they need to put together an athletics list. (For Avery residents who are members of other houses, they need to decide which ath list they are going to be on.)
    • We need to agree on whether or not grad students can play for Avery. It is tentatively agreed that any grad students living in Avery will be allowed to play on Avery's athletics teams.
  8. IHC Voting Issues -- it is agreed that Jacob will be the tie-breaking vote on the IHC until there is further discussion on this issue.
  9. The IHC approves of Lloyd's changes to their athletics list.
