Student Association News:

Social Gathering
On Friday, November 12th, Maureen and Nick Bennis opened their home to the Association for a potluck and poetry reading. If you missed this first social event, keep your eyes open for subsequent ones. The fourteen or so attendees had a great time! Food was fabulous, wine plentiful, and desserts astounding. The poetry was a treat as well, since most participants chose obscure favorites or shared personal originals. Be sure to watch for the future Trivial Pursuit Booklover’s Edition Tournament to be played in teams.

Library Tour
On Monday, November 22nd, Mr. Phillip Powell graciously took three grad students on a tour of the new library. We were awed. Not only is the size of the facility overwhelming, but its design is a delight. It promises plenty of light, cozy corners for reading, efficient rooms for copying, carrels with laptop hook-ups, its own coffee shop, and even an outdoor patio and garden.

Business Meeting
In order to qualify for funding through the college SGA, the Association must rewrite its constitution and reapply for club status with the College Activities Board (CAB). A meeting was held on Monday, November 22nd at 6:00 pm in the Hungry Cougar following the library tour at which we discussed the new constitution. Four members attended. Drafts will be drawn up and sent to all members for commentary when Spring semester begins.
