"Hi, there. I'm Oliver Klozoff, and I'll be your guide today."
"Oh, you mean you're the CSH SIHA representative," says the apparent
president of SIHA. "Good, we can get this meeting started. We'll begin
by suggesting and discussing changes to the SIHA Constitution." Oh, no!
What have you gotten yourself in to?
The president points to the Art House representative, who proceeds to
speak. "Thank you. I'd like to call into consideration Article 6,
Section 3, Paragraph 39, which states that 'Those of the Houses who
continue to ascertain House status via the standard means provided
through our parent organization, the Residence Hall Association, in
association with RIT, whether any deviant nature which may or may not
have occurred up until or including the time and date of the previous
year's charter (which may continually vary from House to House, pending
particular constitutional influences), must hereby declare..." She
drones on and on until finally she finishes her point, if there was one.
"I see what you mean," responds a Unity House rep, "But it's not
actually 'provided' by Res Life, it's more like... 'mandated' by Res
Life, ya'know?"
"Well, 'provided' might be an okay word...
Shall we move to discuss whether the
usage of 'provided' should be changed in the wording of the
Constitution?" There's a general murmur as several hands are raised.
"Okay, you may speak on this issue," the president points to the CSCH rep,
"but you have a ten-minute time limit."
Wow, you wonder how long you can take this! Droning arguments and
pointless discussions, what should you do?
* Get up and go to the bathroom to escape this meeting.
* Stay there and see if you can take it.
