Service Committee Report November 9, 1964

It has come to the attention of the Service Vice President the comments went into the minutes may be an indication of dissatisfaction regarding the writing of these reports.  Such is definitely not the case.  The purposes of such comments is to make the task of preparing and reading these reports as light as possible.  In light of the state and, therefore, take all subsequent comments as intended -- meaningless.

  1. Under Ted Gordon as chairman. KO conducted "mock election", Tuesday, November 3 (election day) in the Student Union lobby, utilizing the display voting machine.  The turnout was favorable, and the results remarkably close to the actual results of the statewide and national contest.
  2. The first Debate Tournament was held Saturday, November 7, and it proved the very successful.  To brother Dave Arlen goes much praise for his initiating and establishing the basis for this project.  The success of this tournament certainly reflects most commendably effort on his part.  To Dave Arlen then, congratulations!
  3. There will be a rally Friday, November 13, preceding the UNH game.  Steve Pretanik in the capacity of Rally Chairman will be heading this project.
  4. Ushers will be needed for the Operetta Guild's performance "Pajama Game", Friday and Saturday, November 13, 14th; 20 and 21.  The performances are scheduled for 8:15 p.m. those dates in Bowker Auditorium.
  5. The Blood Drive is scheduled for Tuesday through Thursday, November 17 - 19.  Steve Pretanik is chairman of KOs activities in this project.
  6. Brothers are needed to conduct the distribution of Collegians Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the student union to commuters.  The hours are from one to 4 p.m. on each of these days.

Can't think of a closing comment, sarcastic, ridiculous or otherwise, so it will be omitted -- sorry!
