No new announcements.
Pancake Dinner - The pancake dinner will take place next week, Wed. Feb.9.
Ski-Trip - Steve is working on the alternate ski trip that will probably take place the last weekend in February.
E-mail system - We are making progress towards having the new e-mail system set up. It was voted on 13-1-1 (for-against-abstain) that vice presidents should act as the moderators for the new system.
Spring Formal Update - Manish has been putting together the formal. It is coming along well. We should have the date set by next week.
NYU Downtown - Jess Heller is going to be Shirley's alternate for the meetings that Shirley will be unable to attend downtown.
LCME wrap up - The LCME committee came and left their recommendations for how we should improve the med school. They had some good things to say about our school but they also criticized other aspects. All of the issues that need to be dealt with have been sent to the appropriate committees. Student council will continue to follow up so that things do keep improving and that we eventually get all the things we've asked for.
Tom's list follow-up - Deb and Brian have been working on getting discounts at the med school bookstore for students. Joe Oppedisano is going to set up the microscope sharing program on-line. Once it's set up it will be automatic. Joe is also working on getting the CPR classes set up every year so that they won't be scheduled during exams. These changes were brought about from a list of improvements to make things more efficient that Tom Garvey thought might benefit the students.
Ping-Pong table - Look for the new ping-pong table that Housing is going to put in the Rubin Lounge.
Nicole CVs - Nicole is not placing the sample CVs and personal statements on the web. Instead she is placing them on honors reserve in the library. All statements and CVs will be made anonymous.
