MSCL Minutes
October 21st 2002
1) Call to Order &
Introductions
Call to
order was at 1:20 pm. In attendance: Sarah, Denis, Lisa, Russell, Viet,
Tiffany, Ms. Fillion (we all know each
other) Finally, this is
the FINAL officer list!
Russell-President ~
Tiffany-Vice
President ~
Lisa-Secretary ~
Shankar-Webmaster
Adam-Editor ~
Sarah-Social
chair ~
Fu-Shepard
2): Financial Stuff
a) Bank
Account: We've got plenty of money ($1537 to be exact!). In addition,
Tiffany set up the bank account and transferred signing power so now she
can write all the checks she wants!
b) Checks for
Nationals: As far as we know, Denis, Kevin,
and Lisa were the only non-slashers who
attended Nationals last year. If we left your name off the list, send
the
officers an email to let us know (officers@mascl.org)!
3) Website
Stuff
a) Our official website: Shankar, could you please "get off
your butt and then put it back down in front of the computer" (that is a
direct quote) and get the links on our website working, please??
Thanks!
b) "Underthetoga.com" For now, we just want to leave it
as a mirror to the official site...but later, we hope to add stuff like
gossip and pictures, and a game that involves hitting Sterling with a
gavel.
4) CERTAMEN & TESTS!!!
If you are on
this list and have not volunteered to write a set of certamen questions,
PLEASE volunteer. All you have to do is send me an email and let me know
which of the remaining slots you would like to take. If we do not write
enough questions, we cannot trade with Tennessee so MAJCL will not have
them
at their state convention. THEY ARE DUE TO EDITORS DECEMBER 5TH!!! A
"question" consists of a tossup and 2 boni. So far here's who's doing what:
EDITORS: Novice: Shankar
Lower: Amanda
Advanced: Denis
Novice:
Language = (Viet-13 questions, Adam-13
questions)
Myth = (Mark- 8 questions, Tiffany-8
questions)
Hist/ life = (Mark- 8 questions, ????-8
questions)
Lower:
Language = (Viet-13 questions, Viet-13
questions)
Myth = (Russell-8 questions, Tiffany-8
questions)
Hist/ Life = (Russell-8 questions, ?????-8
questions)
Upper:
Language = (Lisa-12 questions,Viet-12
questions)
Myth = (Sarah-6 questions, Viet-6
questions)
Hist/ Life = (Sarah-6 questions, ????-6
questions)
Lit = (Denis-6 questions, Viet-6 questions)
To repeat what was said in last meeting's minutes: eventually, we'll
divide
up who is writing what test, but just to let everyone know the
possibilities, here's what MJCL needs: Latin grammar, derivatives,
mythology, history, life, mottoes/abbreviations/quotations, pentathlon, vocabulary (THIS TEST IS REPLACING GREEK). Start thinking about
which one you want to write! We'll probably take names at the November
meeting, and the tests will be due in the spring.
5) Janet's guest
speakers
Janel and Irene came to talk to us about the "Harvard
Prison Education Project." This project allows prisoners to take
classes while still in prison, and eventually earn a BA in general studies from BU. Latin is even one of the classes that is taught at the
Boston prison! If any Boston-area students are interested in becoming
involved with this organization, go to their website,
www.partakersinc.org, or email
Janel at jreppert@hds.harvard.edu.

7) Next Meeting
The next meeting will be
on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23 at 1 pm, probably at BU. But more details will
follow. |
