Meeting Minutes 11/4/09

Hi Guys!
I really hope that everyone had a good Halloween and that November is going well so far! Here's what was discussed tonight:

*Saturnalia will be Thursday December 10th!! The time isn't set but it will probably be in the late afternoon/ early evening.
-It is Professor Montiglio's last semester here so we talked about giving her a gift (possibly a toy pistol to "shoot" her next students) and maybe telling a favorite story about Greek class.
-ALSO we will have a slideshow to show off our travels and where we have all been! So if you have any cool pictures of yourself, friends, a professor, or a sight, e-mail them to Andrea and they will be included!

*T-shirts
-We have 50 of the old-style t-shirts (Bucky in front of the Coliseum) so if you want one just let us know.
-Sizes S-XXL for $12

*Movie Night Thursday Nov. 19th at 7 pm.
-The location is TBA.
-We will either be watching "Life of Brian", "O Brother Where Art Thou" or "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"...we will be voting!

*Ice skating
-Tentatively set for Saturday Dec. 5th.
-Professor McClure kindly offered her house for hot chocolate and cookies to follow!!

*Classics Department Info
-If you have any thoughts/ concerns about class sizes or courses that are offered in the Classics department- please let Professor McClure know! Only through student feedback can she know what is going on, and what people think about the classes. Is your Greek/ latin class too big? Are there too many or not enough humanities courses on offer? Just send her an e-mail if you have any thoughts or concerns.

Thanks so much! And I hope to see everyone at the upcoming events!
-Phoebe
