Entomological Society of America – November 2014

• Copyright infringement concerns with the “Bug Lite” and “Gnatty Ice”, but should be ok because it is parody. The scale at which we are selling them should be ok, student legal services has been contacted to check, waiting on a response. The company making the prints should also be able to determine if it is ok. Voted at the meeting to submit all three designs, if the printing company rejects the two “controversial” ones, we will then only sell “Mad Hops”.
• Bringing t-shirts – need to contact Steve/Dory about selling old shirts
• Wood impression craft party – Saturday 6:00 pm, Courtney will send out an email, bring snacks!
• Sign up for tabling slots! Sheet on fridge after this meeting, one hour slots, please sign up for at least two slots. Priority is to fill in the middle of the day slots. Will take table cloth, brochures to advertise department. Will ask Rich if we can sell the stickers or bring some to give away

GPSA Updates:

• More money  ($173) in assistantships to pay for residual tuition fees.
• GA available working in the Center for Civic Engagement.
• Free bowling night Nov 14^th, Zeppo’s.
• Excellence award nominations are due this Friday (Nov 7^th).
• Complete your “what to do with the old Bookie” survey – because some of your tuition/fees will go to the construction (consider that an auxiliary rec will be more expensive than a yoga studio, study center…)
• If you win GPSA football tickets, DO NOT SCALP THEM. These tickets are assigned numbers, so the university has noticed them appearing on Craigslist, etc. When you pick up free tickets now, you will have to sign a document indicating you won’t scalp them and you will be punished in some way if you do (this prevents GPSA from getting in trouble).
