New Business

1) Winter Weekend Discussion & Survey: Don‚t forget to sign up to help with events. Julia also needs a volunteer to contact professors to be judges. She also needs someone to get food/snacks/drinks for the events, and someone to draw a logo to go along with the theme. Ideas for games on Saturday were also discussed. The survey is up and running, and hopefully the results will be publicized on Friday.
2) Potential Game Room: The Beacon will probably be running a story on this sometime in the next few weeks. We will be voting after the article runs.

Old Business

1) Alternative Spring Break Donation
2) Food Service: John Pesta got back to Selena. He recognized that changes need to be made, but that it will take time. The delivery service has been pushed back to the fall of 2004.
