space by spreading meal throughout the building.
5.41 – Dean Wofford proposes a town hall. Ideas that we could theme around?
Review tabled ideas – issues from last semester – tutorial submission
deadlines, alternatives to colloquia (specifically RE arts students),
Gallatin student priority in gallatin classes, internship requirements.
Knight provides insight.
Project to decorate classrooms – there are plans for hallways, gallery
space available. Make this a venue for gallatin artists. Proposal to
paper the walls ad hoc? Committee to maintain white space for student
