D-entry Tutor Joe Warren:   Made an appearance at HouseComm!  =)
                            He is feeling much better.
Parking:
     - The MIT Parking Office does not want to give out permits 
         this term
     - There are 5 permits available to MacGregor residents due to 
         redistribution (people have graduated or don't have cars 
         anymore); These permits will be $20 each for those who    
         would like them.
     - New permits will be issued in January from the Parking 
         Office and will cost $150 for the semester.
New MIT Cards:
     - If there is a problem with your new card, give it to Bob 
         and he will take care of it.
House Subsidized Entry Mixers: 
     - Mixers between entries will be subsidized, $40 / entry
     - The D&E Entry mixer was very successful!
Athletic:
     - The deadline to sign up for Hockey is tomorrow.
     - There are enough people for D-league, but not enough for C 
         (need 15 people min)
     - Still needs Captain for C-league team.
Community Service:
     - There will be a MacGregor Community Service Project on 
         October 21, will be doing City Year (project not yet 
         determined)
     - Entry Chairs should go back to their entries and publicize 
         event.
	   
New Business

Division of House taxes:
     - Discussion about whether it was fair to have decided to 
         raise house taxes $4/year at the last meeting
     - Issue of whether more money should be spent on the entry or 
         on the house as a whole
     - Taxes are currently divided 50/50 between the house and the 
         entry
     - Suggestions:  to use house money more wisely, give more 
         money to entries because people are more likely to attend 
         entry events rather than house events, increase amount 
         spent on house in order to increase house spirit, not to 
         spend too much money on alcohol, have more house-
         subsidized things (like the Technique photo) so that 
         strain on money in entries is alleviated
MacGregor House town meetings:
     - Suggestion to hold monthly study break type meetings where 
         a specific issue will be discussed by the entire house
Social: 
     - There will be a MacGregor DJ party on October 20 from 9 pm 
         to 1 am.
     - Each entry must send 5 people to help with the party
         1 setup:  6pm; 2 bar; 1 cleanup: 11am next morning

Issues to be discussed at next HouseComm Meeting:
   In-house Rush 
   Dining Hall
   Division of House taxes (entry vs. dorm debate)
