Class Announcements

Class of 1999
The class meeting went well.
The residency applications suck.
The computers for ERAS are not on the 15th floor but because the Coles labs opened on time it's OK because there are IBM's there.

Class of 2000
There will be a class meeting on Next Wednesday (Sept 16th) at 6:30 in the Student Caf.
Dean Abramson was unhappy with our curriculum committee ideas because he felt they were too loaded with council members. Deb will be meeting with him this week and discussing it next week.
Deb will also be discussing the North Shore Shuttle issue with Dean Lesser and updating us next week.
The scrub issue has remained an issue and Eric will discuss it with Jack.

Class of 2001
Nicole will meet with Deb to discuss the makings of the Clerkship lottery committee.
The last meeting of the orientation committee is tomorrow (Sept 9th) and the evaluations of events will be discussed.
There will be a class meeting on Thursday (Sept 10th) at 6 PM in the Student Caf.
Nicole will be meeting with Dean Lesser and Carol Foster to discuss the distribution of the boards packets when they arrive.
Manish is working on planning parties for both the first and second years after their first exams, probably at The Joshua Tree.

MD/PhD
The party will not be at the 5 and Dime as previously reported to try and save some money. We are presently looking for a new place.
The male/female split of the new MD-PhD's is not as even as we believed. It is actually 7 males to 2 females. We will look into gathering info on the admissions process.


Old Business:

BALLY's: The issue is settled. About 60% of the student body opted for Coles and Hunter and that was the decision which was relayed to the Dean's office. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years voted in the email vote. Stan Price stated that he would look into getting discounted membership for NYU students at Bally's for people who are interested. He also said that the NYSC on 34th and 2nd will be expanding and he will look into gathering price info from them as well.

New Business:

GOLF CLUB: The golf club submitted a mission statement to the Student Council to apply for club status and was approved by an 8-1-0 vote. Doug will inform Gene Han and request a budget request from the club.

LCME: Eric will be meeting with Dean Levin at the end of the week in order to discuss the upcoming self-study for reaccredidation the school will be undergoing in the upcoming year. Dean Glickman and Dean Levin will be attending a council meeting in the future to formally present the process.

Demetre discussed the fact that students were sat down during pediatrics and the LCME was discussed. It was felt that the importance of the LCME was being downplayed. The history is easily lost because the evaluation occurs once every 7 years, but last time the LCME was here the students became so frustrated they ended up leaving the table and the student report was actually written by the faculty.

Our goals for changes to be made in the Medical Center will be discussed at length at the next meeting.
