Where: Leverett D-entry Dining Hall (go up the steps into D entry from the courtyard and turn immediately right - across from the Dhall) LegCom is moved due to the gala. From Jarret:
This is going to be a really important meeting because it is where we figure out how to change the world with all of the work we've done. I will finish off the energy paper by meeting time. The workers rights project report will also be done by then. And many of the 2008 fact sheets have already been completed (I'm still waiting on McCain, Romney, Fred Thompson - you know who you are......actually the Fred Thompson people do not know who they are...so please email me if you have interest). What should we do with them? So come to our Leg meeting - one of the last =( - and help get our message and work out there. Plus, we will be continuing to discuss the platform. This week: Education!

Do you support a candidate? Do you now? Do you support that candidate enough to get on your hands and knees to CLEAN TOILETS??!? Because that's what we're asking you to do. The Dems CLEANING UP POLITICS DAY will entail working as many or few hours as you choose, for Dorm Crew -- proceeds going to support the Dems' campaign effort for the candidate of your choice. It's more fun than you'd think; ask Garrett! You do need to sign up. Bear in mind that serious bonding and fabulous prizes will be involved...
6:00 pm
Location: Somewhere On Campus, Probably Hey! Our executive board meetings are open to anyone who wants to come. We usually don't know where they are until roughly the day before or the day of (this is the product of a longstanding Quad-Mather feud, which MATHER WILL WIN EVENTUALLY), so if for whatever reason you want to check it out email me and I'll give you all the requisite info. Minutes are also a matter of record; I can give you copies of minutes for any board or general meeting going back to November, or possibly earlier if they're filed someplace. (Warning: all minutes from after November are taken by me, which means they're probably very profane and contain no useful information.) Seriously, though, come to the board meeting. Your input would be valued, since groupthink tends to mess up our decision-making process. Also we're bored and we want company. (Get it? "Bored"? Ha ha! I slay myself.)
04 / 30
8:00 pm
Location: Emerson 105 -----THE LAST GENERAL MEETING OF THE YEAR! (Insert wailing, rending of garments, gnashing of teeth, etc.) ...Every Monday we meet. Discussions are had. Updates are given. Sometimes, song is broken into. (That's not even a joke, it happens scarily often.) You have to see it to believe it -- the GENERAL MEETING is where all our action goes down. And we're always looking for new friends, so anyone is totally welcome to come by. Don't forget to stick around afterwards for committees, 8:30 to 9:30. You can also feel free to drop in late on any committee. The schedule: 8:30: Events, Communications, Political 9:00: Campaigns, Membership (Locations vary based on the whim of committee chairs, but you can usually find them by following the shrieks of joy.)

Location: Sever 203

"Students for" representatives go head to head in a rhetorical grudge-match to rival the insanity of the actual televised debate. (Students for Gravel will be represented. Nuff said.)

05 / 4
12:00 pm
Where: Adams House -- Brower Room From Anne: "On the agenda - *Vote on general FiCom reforms for next year *Finish calls for every alum Sappy graduation songs and jokes aside -- in all seriousness, this is a REALLY important meeting and every FiCommer should be there. We are going to have a big discussion on making substantive changes to FiCom for next year, and every additional voice is appreciated. And since it's the last day of classes, I know that everyone can take a break to eat lunch."
1:00 pm

This Friday at 1:00pm, meet at Mass Hall to support Harvard's security guards and your fellow students who are on an indefinite hunger strike until the University agrees to equal pay and fair conditions.

The solidarity demonstration begins at 1:00, and we will hand-deliver a letter from the Dems to President Bok asking him to take action. The Dems' support is vital to the Stand for Security campaign, and it will make a huge difference if we have a lot of people there.

The Dems have also planned a Solidarity Fast to show our support for guards and hunger-striking students: The Dems fast will last 24 hours (midnight Thursday-midnight Friday). To pledge to participate in the solidarity fast, go to http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/slam/petition8
