By reason that Don and Ashesh are in control of the checkbook - yes. Ashesh strikes his apology to anita from the record Getting on with things... We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of our beloved alchohol fund and welcome, in its stead, a windfall totaling not less than two thousands of dollars. And so, we must put those funds to good use. ****************** * Campus Update * ****************** Ashesh and DormCom will be having a meeting with some of the faculty and administration to talk about future policies and generally laugh at zeta sai (sp?) Ashesh also met with Chuck Vest on some Friday in the not too distant past. DormCom is presently thinking of possiblilities for the new policy which would upset the fewest people. There has been a motion in the Massachusettes Legislature to ban alchohol on all college campuses in the state. Like, serious consideration. /* jose manuel has arrived w/ coke in hand */ Ashesh did not wish to be quoted as saying the "administration is sitting on their asses" Why create a new policy? -need to look good for media. In the end, they are going to build a new dorm on the otherside of the field, hoping to make Vasser another Amherst Alley ***************** * Money Matters * ***************** What are institute funds?
