_________________________________________________________________________
Before we got down to the real business of the evening (noncons) a couple
important things were brought up.
According to Bryn, "Bizareness SIG has, apparently, just defeated Apathy
SIG in an epic battle." I think we can all agree <g>.
1st.  All Your Base postering is tomorrow at 8:00 am, with people meeting
	outside the Science Center.  Come! Come! Come!  
	The poster are _really_ amazing.  You'll be glad to have been a part of
	it.  Various people volunteered to purchase oodles of tape.
2nd.  At least 6 or 7 people are going to NonCon this weekend.  It is
	Vassar's very first convention, and they came to VeriCon in force; we hope
	to return the favor.  Registration at the door is $15, and until at least
	tomorrow you can get Greyhound bus tickets at companion fare, so that it
	comes out to about $60 per person.  (Most of us are leaving on the Fri.
	12:45pm, and coming back at a similar time Sunday.  There are a couple
	coming back on the Sat. 7:55pm, in case anyone has Sunday commitments that
	they can't miss.)
3rd.  People expressed interest in bombarding the Dining Halls 
	"suggestion" boxes. Bryn has a Roman cookbook, with such masterpieces as
	calf's brains and hummingbird tongues.  Other people would like to
	celebrate the excesses of dining hall food with some masterpieces like
	"breaded and baked bread."  Another well-supported suggestion was a
	math-themed meal, beginning with the "chicken pot pi" that showed has
	already shown up in Quincy the other day.  
	"Harvard Dining Hall Sevices is already a member of Bizareness SIG"
		-bryn
	Send suggestions to hrsfa-discuss@hcs.  Whatever people decided will begin
	one week from now, in the various houses.
4th. Dennis wants a pillow fight.  People agree with him.  The proffered
	time was this Wednesday, after a HRSFA dinner, in whatever house will take
	us in. Email Dennis (dclark@fas) if you think you can reserve a
	JCR somewhere.
5th. The... ummm.... unnamed sig which happens to watch movies once in a
	while want to continue to watch movies, even while their name is
	being disputed.   
	"You wanna piece of me?" spake Moira, oh so innocently, when the sound of
	"pSig" reached her ears.
	There will be an outing to see the "Princess Bride" at some point, 
	and this week they will be showing "SLC Punk."

And, then, there were the noncons.
It took a while, it was fun, and you would have been hard-pressed to find
an inch of black on the black-board when we were done. 
The list is up at:

http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~hrsfa/noncons.html

To reiterate, noncon nominations can not be rejected.
New nominations can be mailed (to _me_ (cimartin@fas), not the list) until
two hours before the elections (which is probably March 11th, at this
point).  I will automatically second anything that doesn't sound
ridiculous.  (This has the slight problem that there is nobody to second
my nominations, but, hey, what's power for, anyway?  Just wait and see
what I'll sneak in....)
Current officers cannot be nominated for scapegoat. (There is a rule
somewhere, apparently.)
That should about cover it.  If there are any typos or other egregious
errors, do let me know.  At this time in the morning, there _must_ be
something wrong with it.

Remember, postering tomorrow at 8am! There is lots of havoc to be wrecked!

Corrections, Minutes: Feb 15, 2001
sent to hrsfa-announce Feb 26, 2001

I stand corrected; you can in fact remove yourself from the running for
positions other than scapegoat.  (If you have sent me such, I have already
done it.  Check the web page to be sure.
(http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~hrsfa/noncons.html))
Extra nominations can be made for one more week; after Sunday night, the
list will be final. (That is also when any decisions about dining hall
suggestion box stuffing should be made.) Please, please, please email all
nominations directly to me.  Inbox flooding is bad.
