  Reps will request 1 table.  Seems there will be enough people to man it.
  Table ideas welcome.  Ring toss is boring.  Non-melted candy was suggested.
  Alexf suggested HKN dunk tank, as was done in the past. More importantly, he 
  volunteered himself as a dunkee.

Fri, October 31, 2-3:30pm (note: E-day tabling ends at 2pm)
Actual tours run from ~ 2:30-3:30.  4 tour groups total, so 8-10 tour guides

5.) Breast Cancer Walk/TBP Basketball conflict
----------------------------------------------
Schedule conflict between Breast Cancer Walk (community service event) and TBP 
Basketball, but since neither can be rescheduled, decided to just let people 
choose between the two events.


6.) Minigolf
------------
Concerns about too few drivers.  Will ask alumni and candidates to drive if 
they can.  Two semesters ago not enough people came to minigolf so everyone
went out to dinner instead, the candidates got an activity signed off, and 
minigolf was rescheduled.  We might do this again this semester if need be.


7.) Indrel report
-----------------
* Help pub flyer for Aerospace.  Meet Connie in the Soda office tomorrow 
  morning (Tu 10/7) if you want to help.

* volunteers for Aerospace infosession Wed 10/8 5-7pm
  5-6pm: eroller, awang, dhsu
  6-7pm: isaac, kgao, ttd

* Second company assignments mailed out.  Keep calling companies, and keep vu 
  updated.  If you haven't had time to contact the first company yet, do that
  and forget the second one.  If you have left a message with the first company
  and tried multiple times to reach them, then just concentrate on the second
  company.

* quick jobfair meeting following officer meeting

California Recall Jokes 
(courtesy of http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/blgraydavisjokes.htm)

"The smear campaign continues. Today, there were allegations that Arnold once 
admired Hitler. The odd thing is that Hitler is now three points ahead of Gray 
Davis in the polls." -Jay Leno 

"Yesterday, they had the first recall debate. There are no winners and losers 
in this debate. Just losers. ... They wanted to have an empty chair out there 
to represent Arnold, since he didn't show up. But then they got worried, 'What 
if the empty chair wins?'" -Jay Leno 

"An NBC News poll has found that if the election were held today, 31% of 
California voters would vote for Arnold Schwarzenegger and 26% were not sure. 
Today Gray Davis announced he is changing his name to 'Not Sure.'" -Jay Leno

"Have you heard of this porn star named Mary Carey who is running for governor?
Carey is running on a platform of taxing breast implants, which, of course, 
are California's largest natural resource." -Jay Leno

"California has gone insane. According to the latest poll, Arnold 
Schwarzenegger is leading in California's governor's race by 34 points. You can
tell that Governor Gray Davis is worried because he spent all day yesterday 
working on his pecs." -Conan O'Brien

"Apparently Arnold was inspired by President Bush, who proved you can be a 
successful politician in this country even if English is your second language."
 - Conan O'Brien

"Here's how bad California looks to the rest of the country. People in Florida 
are laughing at us." -Jay Leno
