- 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.

- Numerous items have been taken from the Sid kitchen. We need to track them down before the end of the semester.

- Attention Sidizens: the greatest college night in the history of college nights will soon be upon us. Summon your inner wizard for Friday’s festivities, unless you’re Brian Hunt, who finds the theme repulsive. Since his girlfriend isn’t quite old enough for HP yet, he’s arranged for a rival college night to take place off campus: “Blue’s Clues in the Dirty South.” Let him know if you’re interested.

- Current plans for college night:
- The committee is trying to get people together on Thursday night to work on getting decorations and costumes together.
- We’re planning on getting students to clean up after activities finish throughout the day.
- The Masters will be gone for much of college night, but Marcie is taking the day off from work.
- There is currently no special menu for Friday night’s dinner.
- Costume and potions contests will be held during lunch on Friday.

- Contrary to popular belief, a magical, never-ending geyser of money doesn’t pay H&D to fix all the dumb stuff we do. In lieu of this harsh reality, Sid paid for $130 in damages last month. For those of you keeping track, that would’ve been almost 280 keystones.

- For those left behind this Thanksgiving break, the masters and RA’s will serving Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks to Nick, you can look forward to eating meat stuffed inside of meat stuffed inside of meat, just like the pilgrims did at the first Thanksgiving.

- Oktoberfest will be held on Friday from 3-6 pm in the country club. Judicial Affairs should be approving the event soon. McMurtry will be attending as well, and bringing some of the food with them. Sara and Meredith will be taking care of security and wristbanding.
- We should encourage people to attend the tailgate on Saturday for the football game.
On Associates Night, there will be reception for committee members, seniors, and associates in the masters’ house from 5:30-6:15 pm, followed by dinner in the commons at 6:15.

- November 14th will be this year’s Homecoming, so be sure to do your civic duty and vote for Homecoming King and Queen. Sam Wang doesn’t want you to take the contest seriously, but if we don’t rig this thing for a Duncan Pod Bathroom and Baby Llu, I’ll consider us failures. Cast your vote at ricehc@gmail.com.

- Students can vote for Homecoming King and Queen by e-mailing their suggestions to ricehc@gmail.com.
- The college presidents want to work will the Wellness Center on revamping the current alcohol server training system. They are thinking about working with the chief justices on this matter.
- During some meetings regarding long-term planning for the university, the college presidents have discussed bringing in President Leebron and some of the trustees to meals at the residential colleges. We may be setting up some sort of dinner with them in the future.
