I: Lunch/quick meeting w/MJCL officers (12:15 pm)

We had a pizza lunch with the JCL officers, and those of us who were there at noon introduced ourselves. Erica told the JCLers the tale of The Sheep, but they seemed disappointed and looked at us like we were insane. Eh. Baby-eaters. We then talked about the dates that have been selected for MAJCL Convention (May 16-17) and how just about all SCLers either have finals or are being kicked out of their dorm room on those dates...however, Janet reported that next year, the last weakened in April has been selected for MAJCL Convention! Yay!

II: Our Meeting (12:50 pm)

A: Call to Order & Introductions
- In attendance: Sarah, Denis, Lisa, Russell, Angela, Mark, Erica, Shankar, Viet, Amanda. Everyone introduced themselves and said what they did over the summer, and we were solicited by someone doing a research project on people driving while intoxicated who wanted students 21-25 to participate at 1 pm. Oh well! We also sort of figured out who the officers are. We think, anyway.

- Certamen: We need to write certamen questions so that we can trade with Tennessee! THEY ARE DUE DECEMBER 5TH!!! A "question" consists of a tossup and 2 boni. So far here's who's doing what:

WE NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS!! Please email me where you would like to fill in the question marks with your name!!!

2) MAJCL Tests

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 in December.

3): MAJCL Convention

We'll talk more about that later...but keep May 16-17 open for State Convention!

C: Other stuff
1) Chariot
MASCL can enter a chariot non-competitively in State Convention if we want! Erica will look into it and see what is involved.

2) Underthetoga.com?
The overwhelming response was, YES, we should buy this website for $10! Suggestions for content included personal ads for SCL members ("I'm not only the president, I'm also a member!" quipped Denis), JCL love gone bad, and having an SCL rumor mill. There was also the suggestion of a links page--including ones to Abby's Luscious Ladies of Latin and the Ben Watson & Sterling Fan Club website. What will actually end up there will be discussed in the future!

3) Social Events
We might do something after the October 21st meeting at Harvard....we'll keep you posted!!!

NEXT MONTH'S MEETING IS ON OCTOBER 21st..........SEE YOU THERE!
