The weekend is here, and the latest Independent Council meeting has once again proved fruitful. Our sponsored event this coming December will be a Sheer Idiocy show, with catering provided by the IC. We expect to have a whole range of appetizer-like foods, which will deviate from the standard—pizza. We hope that this will complement the show nicely, and not interfere with the entertainment genius of the Sheer Idiocy group. If you have not heard of Sheer Idiocy before, please stop by the Union for information—they are RPI’s own improv comedy group (and they are highly-talented!). We are hoping for a tremendous show, so please keep in touch for event date, time, and location.
Regular business for the IC this week also included a look at the condition of the stairs on campus. It has come to our attention that some of the stairs on campus are so degraded that their reinforcing steel bars have become exposed, which is definitely unsafe. The IC sincerely urges campus administration to have all the stairs on campus reviewed and checked for wear—and then repair what damage exists.
It has come to our attention that one adult has already fallen on concrete campus staircases because of their degraded state, as witnessed by one of our own representatives. In response, the IC has begun to photograph and catalogue stairs on campus, concentrating on those outdoor stairs with severe degradation.
In lighter news, the IC welcomes back representative John Thomas from his absence from the council. John has been a dedicated member in the past and has continued to serve on the council even while he was not an official representative. This last meeting the Council voted to change that, reinstating John to his full status and treasurer of the IC in the future.
