Hall Axioms
-room wars --preference by time at MIT, time on hall, single or double --if time on hall exceeds time at MIT by 2 terms, preference given --otherwise decided by dice roll ---roll to break ties, decide rank within a tier --come prepared with choice of room ---cannot change room after the next person has chosen a room
-kitchen -cabinets/drawers doled out at beginning of year --must claim space and then register with kitchencomm -all spaces are free game if they are empty of stuff/unlabeled --max space allowed for sophomores and below is one large cabinet or
equivalent --max space allowed for juniors and above is two large cabinets or
equivalent -everyone who claims a cabinet MUST sign up to clean for five days --sign-ups for cleaning are done with kitchencomm --calendar of sign-ups will be posted on the kitchencomm page --all five-day shifts are shared by two residents --if for some reason you are unable to do your shift you must
contact kitchencomm for reassignment ---it is possible to switch with another resident provided they tell
kitchencomm that it is okay --failure to perform your duties during your shift will be punished
accordingly ---first time is warning ---second time your cabinet is emptied and label is removed, free
game --link to kitchencomm
-murals --mural proposals should be posted on the wiki ---in addition, notice must be given to hall by email and optionally
by a posted sign on the space to be painted --hall approves by default 72 hours after notice is sent unless
there are enough objections ---at least four objections are needed to cancel a mural, please
reply to sponsor and hall with objections ---sponsor may begin painting at this time if hall approves --murals may be painted using hall painting supplies ---all hall painting supplies must be returned in good condition or
face punishment by nicethingscomm --link to nicethingscomm
-elections --hall chairs and rush chairs are elected at the end of spring term
each year ---chair candidates must be nominated by the Friday before the
Sunday meeting
residents may nominate others or themselves
nominations must be sent to all of hall
person nominated must decline or accept through an email to hall
---all chair candidates are interviewed by hall members during the
meeting ---votes are then emailed to GRT by the following Wednesday
each resident can vote for two hall chairs and two rush chairs
majority wins and winners are announced by GRT
--comms are elected at the beginning of the fall term ---comm candidates are nominated at the election meeting
residents may nominate others or themselves
each person nominated must decline or accept at this point
---candidates will be asked to give a spiel on what they plan to do
if elected, then briefly questioned ---candidates will be sent from room for a brief vote by hands
majority wins, winners are effectively on comms immediately
-reimbursement --keep all receipts for your purchases ---for purchases outside of hall coverage, use Star Market receipts
for equal amount ---give them to hall chairs or related comm ---pick up check from SAO office in student center, 5th floor
-discretion --think before you say stuff --never leave a paper trail ---watch who you are replying to in emails --what happens on floor pi, stays on floor pi
