Announcements:

Local residents have been complaining about student behavior,
so the CPD is going to be taking a “more active role” in
policing us. This is the Chicago Police Department, not your
friendly UC police. They’ll crack down especially on public
intoxication, underage drinking, and noise ordinance
violations. What this means to you: don’t drink alcohol
outside ever, take the drunk van if you’re coming home drunk,
don’t be obnoxious after 11 (this includes indoor parties),
and if you play midnight soccer, be off the Midway by 11. All
good advice regardless. If you’re stopped by the police for
any reason, be respectful. This is one of those no-brainers.
And if you are arrested, Avi and Laura cannot help you out.
Give them a call so they know where you are, but first contact
your parents or friends (whoever is more likely to bail you
out), and the University.

Vincent’s very own Jonathan Hartley is running for Student
Government, so show him your support, Class of 2011. He seems
like a level-headed chap, worthy of your vote.

House dues: Josh sent out an email about this, but don’t
forget. Get Kate $5 before the next house meeting. Don’t just
slide money under her door or hand it to her, but make sure
your name is somehow attached to it (envelope, paper-clipped
note, something). At the moment, the house is low on funds
until we can raise more. So we’re asking for a one-time
involuntary donation of $5. This isn’t optional–we all benefit
from house funds, we all have to contribute (if you’re not
benefiting, that’s your fault. Get involved).

Some of the fundraisers proposed are: themed bake sale (like
around Halloween), for which we need volunteers to bake the
goods and man the table; Avi’s Oregon Trail t-shirt (much
approved); and the Vincent lounge snack shop, which is pending
approval by the housing office. There is a sheet posted in the
lounge for bright snack shop ideas.

IM’s: The fall IM season begins this weekend
-Midnight Soccer will continue on Thursday nights at 10 pm
(off the field by 11, remember?). We usually meet up in the
lounge 15 minutes or so beforehand.
-Flag Football: coed games will be Saturdays at 3, men’s games
on Sundays at 3. We need one more ref from the house for
football, so if you know a safety is (and no, I don’t mean the
pin), then consider doing that. You get $10/game, too. Sweet deal.
-Volleyball: We have a coed team, playing Wednesday nights at 9.
-Bowling and tennis schedules are by individual arrangement,
so get on that soon.
-And finally, the sign-up sheet for whiffleball is in the
lounge. If you don’t know what whiffleball is, it’s like
baseball, only a lot goofier.

Events:
Thursday: Richard Dawkins will give a free talk at I-House.
Look for an email.
Friday: At the SSA from 12-2, register your bike (free) and
your laptop ($12). Also, Wii boxing tourney at 9 pm, which is
$1 to enter.
Saturday: bbq at 5. If you gave Avi your ISO number off your
card, you’ll be eating this.
Sunday: Nikki in the Garden at the Garfield Conservatory.
Leave from the lounge at 12:30, suggested donation is $5.
Next week: La Boheme (Oct. 16, $12) and Wait Wait Don’t Tell
Me (Oct 18, $8+metra)
