- 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.

- Council started off with Brian Henderson (one of the campus-wide beer bike coordinators), who presented a proposed plan to eliminate flatbed trucks from Beer Bike (a plan he himself favored). In order to resolve this policy squabble, Sam Wang challenged Henderson to a winner-take-all arm wrestling match. Sam went “over the top,” and by using the patented Three Stooges eye poke, he managed to skew and pluck out both of Henderson’s eyes, thus preserving the sanctity of the parade for years to come.

- The couches for the downstairs elevator lobby have been purchased and are on the way.
- The election timetable has been settled by Sam and AJ.
- We need to review current Sid Court justices before elections.
- Hanszen will be hosting us for Deathball at 8:00 pm this Friday.
- The Baker Institute Student Forum wants to have elected college representatives at every college. More than likely, an appointed position will be created (though this will be an issue to discuss for the newly elected EC),

People strong-armed into attending by Sam “You’ve Seen My Gavel, Wait Till You See My” Wang: Kaiser Wang himself, J.

- JAG and Sam spoke to Corinne about the PDR. An electrician should be coming in soon to fix the light fixture in there. Painting will also occur in the near future.
- The Big Room and VP closets were both cleaned this past weekend, thanks to JAG, Jacob, and the Musical Committee. Couches and broken televisions still need to be moved from the basement.
- P-cards have not been working lately. Payment Solutions needs to be e-mailed in order to raise our college’s P-card limits.

- KIPP Academy seventh graders will be visiting Sid on February 17th to complain about servery food and insult our intelligence. It should be a rewarding experience for everyone involved.

- JAG and Sloane are looking for new ideas to improve the PDR and Big Room. Possible suggestions could include a public area where one might dine (instead of a random shit closet with a piano) and the epic return of Club Kisurb downstairs.

- We’re currently developing plans to clean up the PDR and Big Room. The PDR was gutted over the course of winter break and might be repainted in the near future, though we’ll check with Housing & Dining about painting regulations first. A Big Room cleanup will take place this Sunday afternoon; there will likely be food.
- We might schedule official spring cleaning days for Sid in upcoming years.
- We’re considering ways to deter non-incidental damages to Sid property. If future monthly damages are below a certain dollar amount, we may throw a TG with the money saved on damages.

- Sid Skate will be held next Tuesday from 10:15-11:15 pm. If you want to avoid embarrassment and sore hind parts, be sure to pre-game extensively before you get on the ice. Just ask Matt King about his strategy for broomball during this year’s advisor training if you have any questions.

- Sid Skate will be held next Tuesday from 10:15-11:15 pm. The event will cost Sid $350, plus $3.50 for each skate rental. This total may be coming out of the Socials’ budget.
- The broken lobby sofa found on 7th floor after College Night needs to be replaced. We’re currently looking into some new furniture.
- One vacant bed for a female at Sid next semester has already been filled.
- Numerous items have been taken from the Sid kitchen. We need to track them down before the end of the semester.
