Turn the lights out when you go.

I was kind of ticked that nobody bothered to let me know about CTRL-D. For about five minutes. That's when I realized something: I've stopped caring.

Sorry about that, the idea that you wouldnt have read the announcement on the whiteboard totally slipped my mind.
I think the CSC has an opportunity to remake its self for the better this fall, but how that goes time will tell :-)

I think the CSC has the opportunity to remake itself every term. I hate saying it, because I am at university to act in as immature a manner as I can get away with; but the CSC needs to decide what it is it wants to be and have some kind of longterm plan.

Perhaps, but wit the way the executive is structured it makes having plans lasting beyond four months quite difficult to pull off. Personally I prefer the plan of just doing more stuff, that is whenever there is an opportunity for the club to do something interesting we should take it. But whatever.

There's no such animal as "the CSC". The club is an organization on paper. It can't decide anything. It can't plan anything. That's my point. Saying that "the club" will remake itself or "the club" has to decide something is meaningless.

It is the people, the individual members, that do, plan, decide, and remake. Until the club members recognize this and start both demanding more from and contributing to the club, nothing's going to change.
