Tonight at the group meeting, members established new position descriptions to guide the group for the next few years, until we’re all sick of it. If you are interested in running for election in any of these positions, please email me by Sunday night (April 29, 11:59 p.m.) with your name.

Names of those running as candidates will be emailed to the list and posted to this site by 10 a.m. Monday (4/30) morning. Please attend that evening’s meeting to vote. No business will be conducted after the meeting, so we can keep things short, and we all can get back to our final madness!

Question: How does a group make their presence known without scaring away the very people the group is targeting?

Answer: Uh. We’re not sure. We don’t go around pasting rainbows because we don’t want to make people wary of approaching us. Fine. We now have a banner that looks exactly like the logo. We will be using it during MSU Friday and Catapalooza (a two day event during the summer that is a more intense version of MSU Friday). (more…)
