Minutes for January 23rd
I was informed by a member of this society that
she and others "fear" the gentleman who comes and stands in the hall
outside next to the window. As far as I know, this man's name is
Saxon, and legend about him dates back at least 2 years, when he
asked my friend Benji's ex-girlfriend if she was "having a fag"
outside one of the dorms. Of course, she was smoking a cigarette.
I'm sure if Vash here were any kind of a man (which he isn't, of
course) he would have found a way to find out about the man.
However, I, Amish Trivedi, must do the finding out for my friends
and even Ray Patton.
So, more importantly, I thought I would tell
you guys something you ought to know. Our President here is soooooo
dedicated to the society. Did you guys know that he comes upstairs
here after 1:00 AM or so and puts on some disco music and prances
around naked? THAT's dedication, folks!
Anyways, I should finish this before Bobby
stops rubbing my leg.
There were 8 first time guests and 5 second or
third time guests.
Ms. Winchell said that the bicentennial is
doing ok as per cost…er…so far…And told us to invite our parents and
try to get money out of them. I think she's crazy. Sure, I don't
mind my folks coming up to see a play or eat dinner with me, but if
they are involved in something related to the society, I'm going to
cry like a little girl. The thing is that there is home Amish: A
quiet, loving young man who loves and respects people. Then there's
independent Amish: Loud, bawdy, usually drunk, crazy, the Amish
you’ve come to love and hate (respectively). If Home Amish walks
through that door, he will KILL Independent Amish! You can't allow
that to happen!
Ms. Parker talked about Hall preservation. I'm
not sure if this counts, but like the floor downstairs seems to bend
at some spots….
Ms. Ramsay said we only have a few weeks left
to pay dues.
Then Dr. Lindquist came and spoke to us. She
told us about her meeting with the board of regents and about the
continual tightening of the alcohol policy.
Ms. Winchell rose AGAIN and she reminded us
about Mr. Lewis' prepared speech thingy.
In new business, Ms. Ballou presented
BIR: State child
welfare agencies should be required to open to the public those
records of a child's adoption which do not pertain to the child's
biological parents after the child's death. Res Sub Emily Ballou
Mr. Kennedy said that the "public" would do
something irrational with the records. A child's death should not
be a public circus.
Ms. Copley said that the resolution is
discriminating against adopted children; the resolution could affect
children that are still alive.
Pitts said that accountability was the issue
here and that the state of GA has lost all sorts of records;
Children are the wards of the public, not of the govt
Webb said that she agreed with Mr. Pitts but
not about the stigmatizing of children; she said the govt is
responsible and we have a right to know what people who are foster
parents are doing
Aaron said that all parents are a danger to
their children, whether they are biological or foster. Some folks
just aren't fit parents. Making records public won't save children.
The resolution passed 12-6, which doesn't
actually sound like enough people, Bobby, you ignorant slut.
Ms. Aaron, a New Yorker reader, and thus a
pretentious, full of herself damn Yankee related to us the story of
a man. Not just any man. A poet. And not just any poet, my
friends: AN ANTI-SEMETIC POET. He went and spoke up at the damn
Yankee-ist of all damn Yankee universities: HAH-VAD People,
needless to say got kinda antsy and now Ms. Aaron's all "Is it the
University who has to be all 'say what we want you to say or
else?'" and she presented
Where as we are a
country of free speech, BIR: It is not the responsibility of a
University to warn students of possibly inflammatory remarks or to
censor in any way invited speakers or sponsored publications Res
sub Rachel Aaron
Mr. Lerner said speakers are funded by
endowments and that universities control that money. He also said
that Hitler is a great speaker, yet for his actions, we don't have
him up on our wall here while we have many others on our walls
because they are great speakers. He said that a university
shouldn't be blind to what a speaker is going to say simply because
they do represent the public, assuming they are a pub inst
Mr. Kennedy said that Hahvad is a pvt school
and they have the right to do as they wish.
Ms. Webb said that we should separate art and
the artist, which is bad in my case because I am in my art
Ms. Winchell said that free speech is a govt
given right; it is the university's responsibility to warn students
and that censorship is wrong, but warning is right
Ms. Prabhakar said this is not a free speech
issue and this issue is about speaking on public grounds; the paying
university has rights
Mr. Peery said that speakers should involve
thinking; someone who upsets you is just as valid as someone whom
you agree with
Mr. Miller said that free speech is a govt
protected right and that anything that isn't a threat is protected
Mr. Grosse said that who decides on censoring?
He said those who provide the forum to speak have the right to
decide what is said in that forum
Mr. Addison said that the university has the
right to ask about speeches
Ms. Skrmetti wondered where we should draw the
line between art and the artist.
Ms. Kravig spoke and almost gave the Ezra Pound
example again, and let me tell you, if you haven't read Ezra, you
should.
The resolution passed 9-8, which still seems
like too few, don't you think, Bobby, you ignorant slut?
Ms. Webb then presented BIR Demosthenian should
reopen the flag debate. Res sub Mary Webb
Mr. Kennedy suggested, in a most humorous way
that the car from the Dukes of Hazard be placed on the flags
instead. Oh, sure, I could make fun of him, but he and his
girlfriend JENNIFER came to see my play.
The resolution passed 22-0 as Bobby took a
short nap.
Ms. Webb, who either has a spring in her seat
or just has to keep talk rose again and presented BIR We all want
to marry a millionaire. Res sub Mary Webb
Ms. Winchell rose and said she doesn't care for
money, cause money can't buy her love
Mr. Miller said we always want more and Mr.
Gallagher mentioned to him that I, Amish Trivedi, am a millionaire.
Thanks Bram, but I'm only a millionaire in my heart. Oh, and Billee,
with me, you'll always get more.
Ms. Kravig then proceeded to give Mr. Gallagher
a heart attack, which is good, because I'm getting his sweater
collection. She said that marriage allows women to have sex with as
many men as possible. What she forgot is that as men, we don't need
marriage…
Mr. Kennedy, said we should kill the
millionaires, except for me, since I'm paying for this electrolysis
Ms. Aaron said that marriage is too hard and
that sex is way better.
Mr. Lewis rambled on as usual about computers
and the losers that make them and stuff for them
The resolution failed 3-14
The meeting adjourned and we woke up Bobby and
went home.
Respectfully submitted,
