- To start off council, Sam thanked and congratulated Sidizens who “took” KIPP kids last week. If you still have some seventh graders locked up in your closet, the visit’s probably gone on long enough.

- If the Super Bowl ad wasn’t incentive enough, Sam would also like you to know that the census is going on and you should take it at 2010.census.gov. Failure to comply may result in Texas not gaining enough votes in the House of Representatives to secede and start waging war against the American Southwest.

- All of council met tonight at EC in order to nominate candidates for the Joan Whitney Award. Seniors on council then separated from the underclassmen and each group voted on the Lon Wilson and Athenian Awards (respectively). The awards will be given out at Associates Night later this spring.

- Hey. Remember that time you were in middle school, and you hung out with one of your older brother's friends and saw something really horrible that disturbed you for the rest of your life, tormenting you every night till this day? Return the favor: signup for Kipp. Sam.Wang@rice.edu

- Baker Institute Student Forum claims Alberto Gonzalez will be a future guest speaker to discuss his illustrious career in water sports.

- Sam Wang giggles "First-year student aggregate service time a factor in ordering of on-campus dormitory distribution!"

- Tonight at EC, we selected the Jonathan Bailey Award for Associates Night in April.
- We also made plans to meet with all of council next week at EC in order to vote on the Lon Wilson and Athenian Awards for Associates Night. An e-mail will be sent out to all voting council members in the near future.

- KIPP Academy students will be touring campus next Wednesday, so be sure to sign up to host one or more of the lil tikes. Sam Wang wants you to believe they hail from a prestigious charter school in Houston filled with academic go-getters. In all actuality, the acronym stands for “Krunk is Preferable, People.” Host your students accordingly.

- We will be subsidizing dinner for OC students for election speeches next Monday and Tuesday. We will also subsidize next Thursday’s lunch for voting purposes. We will look into what budget the funds for this come out of this week.
- KIPP Academy students will be visiting Sid (and Rice’s campus) next Wednesday. Their lunches will be taken out of the masters’ guest meals budget,

- With 100 Days starting concurrently with Sid council, the seniors who had stuck around were chomping at the bit to be cut loose and on their way to overpriced drinks and one nasty strobe light. Especially Sam Wang, who still needed to blow out his hair and Vaseline his biceps before the big night. As such, council was a blitzkrieg of emotion and democracy.

- Tonight was open EC, so candidates interesting in running for an elected position at Sid some time in the future were present to ask questions and hear about what each officer does.
- Rice currently uses the Choices program for alcohol server training. The college presidents want to develop an alternative program in which the chief justices would train students using Rice-specific criteria that would cover Rice-specific issues. E-mail Sam with any suggestions you might have about the possibility of a new system.
