Emily: Thanks for helping out with the hot chocolate and cider drive. We got $284 and some change. We have some leftover stuff and we'll do it again in January with the schoolwide Darfur efforts. So if you didn't get a chance to sell this time, you can later.
Jake: You should sell. You get tips, like I got one for $10.
Lecture Series Meeting after the Chapter Meeting
Sarah: We're going to try to pin down the topics so we don't have to meet as a committee from now on, and I could just meet with the person who wanted to be in charge with that speaker. Ben Goldhaber had said he had somebody he could find. The next topic would be nuclear proliferation.
John N: There are three guys whom I heard speak before. One of the guys was kind of dry, but I could follow only because I had an interest in the issue. Some other guy is in DC, and we can't pay for his airfare down. Another guy was Indian, but he has some trouble with English. The last guy was really good, but he was very dry, the driest of them all.
Coven: We could ask Dr. Todd for the pandemic issue and nuclear proliferation issue. I'm pushing the pandemic issue because it goes well with the "sky is falling" idea.
Sarah: #2, pandemic; #3, nuclear proliferation; #4, Hypercompetitiveness and fear of failing. For lecture #2 we could get the author of the N&O article.
John N: We need to do more than just inform, and we need to give direction. We need to focus on the issue of Your Fear and what to do with that.
Sarah: We can do a psychologist and a sociologist. It's usually more interesting to have a panel instead of just a single opinion. For the upcoming lecture, I can handle the newspaper guy.
Sam: I can get a guy for public health at UNC.
Sarah: Who wants to do public policy? Yasmeen, you can see if you can get somebody from a scientific standpoint from Duke public health and public policy. Sam is going to talk with his mom and see if he can find anybody at UNC. That lecture is going to be January 24.
