Recruitment
As some of you know, I'm on the house recruitment committee. Coming up will be a pretty critical time for selling the house to TASPers and TASSers. Could you please take a moment to answer one or more of the following in the comments section:
* What made you apply/not apply to the house?
* For those who were preferred, what attracted you to the house? Why did you eventually go elsewhere?
* For those of you who were not preferred, do you think you would have come if you were?
* What is your "image" of the house?
* What made you apply/not apply to the house?
* For those who were preferred, what attracted you to the house? Why did you eventually go elsewhere?
* For those of you who were not preferred, do you think you would have come if you were?
* What is your "image" of the house?

Right now Robin, Conan, and I are together in my room. I think that together the three of us (who applied to and were glorifingly accepted by the preferment committee) can answer these questions quite effectively.
1) We are poor and wanted free housing. We missed TASP and have unhealthy emotional attachments to that building and/or K8.
2)We went elsewhere because of Equinox II. And Ithaca sux (as opposed to sucks).
3) The house is a place of mayonnaise and cheese covered fish. It is a place that hired Stan. It is a place where Ellen Baer's dog Max (and her equally feral children) roam wild and free and defecate everywhere. It is a place that has permanently shaped our intellectual development. It is also a place where professors tried to make us gay. Lastly, it is a place where as Conan puts it, it is hard to conclude. That is what it is at last. If you went until the last, that is what you would find. The end.
Conan now demands the running of a marathon. I no longer have the emotional strength to resist. Godspeed.
I think the entire house now realizes that the timing of Equinox II was a huge mistake. Someone told me, (was it you, Urv? or maybe Fishel) that EII wasn't the problem, though.
More on applications... we're currently trying to revise our application form in a process which, if nothing else, proves that nothing can be done quickly in a democratic community. And I mean NOTHING.
