HALLOWEEN DANCE PLANNING
The FIRST official Halloween Dance planning session is slated for Monday, but it's NEVER TOO EARLY to start writing lists and teaching freshmen how to be USEFUL for once. I've written out all the things which need to be addressed first, since I know certain among you STRUGGLE to STAY FOCUSED on anything for longer than FIVE MINUTES.

• CLUB TREASURER. Hightower has signed off on the funds we've been allotted for this year, and we'll need someone to watch over how all our dragots are spent. Actually, SCRATCH that. I can't trust anyone except MYSELF with that job. SCRATCH me scratching that, now de Luca has treasury duties. If there are ANY complaints about her performance, relay them STRAIGHT to me.


• DANCE THEME. The MOST IMPORTANT thing we'll decide on today. Any variation on "oh HAHA what if it was like a SUMMER CAMP HORROR FILM and we made the lodge look like a SERIAL KILLER attacked" is getting you BANNED. Bad taste aside, let's try to be ORIGINAL, please.


• VENUE. As usual, the dance will be in the Atrium in the main lodge. It'll be ALL HANDS ON DECK for decorating the Atrium, since we'll only have the few hours AFTER LUNCH and BEFORE THE DANCE with everyone kicked out of the lodge. Thank GOD afternoon classes are cancelled.


• FOOD AND DRINK. Prospero has said the house-elves are willing to make ALMOST anything we can think of, so NOW'S YOUR CHANCE to get in suggestions for Halloween-themed desserts since like HALF OF YOU are inexplicably OBSESSED with baked goods.


• REUSABLE ASSETS. The EC club storage room has a BUNCH of decorations from previous Halloween dances, and the more of it we can reuse (with some FRESHENING UP, of course), the better we can stay under budget. A few VOLUNTEERS will need to go through the boxes on Monday.

We also need to discuss fliers and posters, music, the necessity of games or activities, acceptable standards for costumes, what everyone's DANCE DUTIES are going to be, but everyone ALWAYS starts COMPLAINING when I go over five discussion points so we'll LEAVE THAT for future meetings.
