In case you didn't see this notice before last Sunday night's meeting, here's what you missed:

7:44

Undergraduate Council Chairman Brian C. Offutt '87 urges the council to come to order so the meeting can begin. Vice Chairman Steven B. Smith '87 yells out names on the roll.

The officers recite their weekly reports. Chairman Offutt reminds the council of certain bylaws, and Secretary Jeffrey A. Camp '89 pleads with the council to keep Old Father Time in mind when the debate goes on and on and on....

8:05

During the time docketed for committee chairman reports, Social Committee Chairman Evan J. Mandery '89 announces to the council that the site for this year's Battle of the Bands, a competition among Harvard rock bands, is the Leverett House dining hall on April 4 to 5.

In addition, Representative Karim H. Lopez '88 announces that the 14 new, snazzy council suggestion boxes, requested by council members some time ago, will finally be finished by the next meeting. The council applauds his effort. The suggestion boxes--one for each house dining hall and the Freshman Union--are made of varnished wood and cost the council almost $100, even though Lopez and delegate J. Todd Ensley '89 built the boxes themselves. The boxes fill a vacuum; until now there have been no suggestion boxes on campus.

8:07

Veteran council member Kamala S. Lakhdhir '85-'86 stands to protest a poster that advertised the council's poorly attended public forum last week. The poster said "Come Bitch at Us," and shows Clifford the Big Red Dog roaring at several cowering people.

"There is a woman in front of the dog lying down. I found it offensive," says delegate Lakhdhir. She complains that the word "bitch" is offensive because it is commonly associated with only the female sex. She also objects to the use of Clifford. "It's the dog also," says delegate Lakhdhir.

Representative Richard S. Eisert '88, the man who spearheaded the drive to bring chocolate milk to dining halls, offers his own suggestion: "Come Prick at Us?"

Later, Social Committee Chairman Mandery apologizes for the alleged insensitivity. "I'm sorry. It wasn't intended to be offensive."

Council member Lakhdhir says that the Social Committee, which sponsored the forum, should print an apology in The Independent for the tasteless poster.

8:11

Treasurer Richard Zayas '88, who was appointed by the council to serve on the search committee for the dean of admissions, reports on his meeting last Thursday with Dean of the Faculty A. Michael Spence. Despite the council's wishes, Spence this semester denied treasurer Zayas, or any student, the right to serve on the committee. However, in their private meeting Spence and treasurer Zayas discussed the candidates for the Byerly Hall post and the criteria used to select the new dean, Zayas informs the council.
