New Semester Planning!

Well fellow students, a new semester has begun and with that in mind, the Classics Society is gearing-up for another semester of exciting events! We'd like you, when you've got a minute, to tell us when you're available or would like most to meet this spring. With the results, we'll try to finalize a schedule and let you know when you can expect some Classics fun! So don't be shy, step-right-up (or click-right-up...?) and vote! [Poll will close Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 9 PM.]

Classics Society Meeting 11/18 Updates

T-Shirts!
Thank you to all those who filled out the poll on shirts; it really helped us in the planning process! However, before we order shirts, we need to have the funds to do so. The cost is $20. Please turn your money in an envelope with your name and shirt size on it to us or the Classics Society mailbox on the 9th floor by no later than December 2nd. Here is the poll, once again, for all those who missed the initial opportunity.  http://doodle.com/npskezbu7e33dp8i

Saturnalia
Mark your calendars: Thursday, December 12th @ 4:00pm  
This is the Classicist's version of a Christmas Party. The whole Classics Department is invited to eat and be merry! The undergrads (that's us) provide the entertainment which will be in the form of the professors pitted against each other in our edition of Ten-Thousand Dollar Pyramid! 

Please come help us formulate questions at the next Study Night on November 25th from 6-8pm in 2258 College Library. All any any input is valued and we would appreciate your help!

t-shirt design

T-Shirts: We will be ordering club t-shirts shortly and want to know if this is a worthy investment before doing so. The design will be very similar to this crest on the upper left breast of a black shirt. Nice, sharp, and simple. They should be approximately $10-$15. Please fill out this poll by November 13th on your commitment. http://doodle.com/npskezbu7e33dp8i
