Minicult- Today was an international strike day. Attendance at classes rose noticeably.
Pic(k)nicomm- Joe Ross has promised to stay away. There was dissension over what kind of meat to bring, so the Skinner compromised on 6 lbs. roast beef & 2 lbs. ham. The Skinner was subsequently unable to stem the wave of anxiety over his sudden democratic tendency. 50 pieces of chicken will also be brought. Seitz suggested 6 pair of croddle grapes and 12 lbs. blog. Several packages of scrumptious Salada products were donated by non-existent non-entities. Seitz can get 10 metric tons of dry ice to cool the drinks. Letvin and Minsky will be invited, plus Bova if he can be found.
It was moved and seconded to censure the Skinner for allowing democracy to rule. Passed 5-0-3 +Spehn, although the Skinner tried to repent by counting it 0-18-0 +Spehn.
