Committee Reports

   Committee to test rec sec would like remind our shiny new humanities major that most of the KGB is CS students. 
   
   Puzzlehunt committee. People who want to staff should go to PH 19C at 4:30 on Wednesday.
   
   Motion to create out of order committee. OUT OF ORDER
   
   The Pasta Tonight Committee is excited for mafia night
   
   The Ad Hoc Pasta GNIGT committee would like to say: “you empty-headed wipers of other people's bottoms, I wave my private parts at your aunties.”
   
   Storytelling committee
       So you know the thing that says “4.29.12 never forget” on R7's fridge?
       been so much more than a year...but so much less
       it was blissful and naive
       how do you honor a national tragedy?
           we're lying to ourselves when we say things are back to normal
       it was a day like any other...who would expect the tragedy
       college students gathered in roselawn and needed FOOD. FAST.
       sandwich shop in Illinois--Jimmy Johns
           got popular fast in Charleston and expanded to the WORLD
       Jimmy John's tugged on the College students' hearts
           passed around a laptop and entered their sandwiches
           but when did they want them delivered?
               but the dropdown menu, at 9:00PM on a Sunday, reported "closed"
       The college students felt deeply cheated for the first time.
       There is no reversing that day, nor bringing back the lost sandwiches.
       We mustn't let the experience hold us down.
       April 29th, 2012. Never forget.
