[Rebecca E Krentz-Wee]

Dear Student Group Officers,

Please take note of the following announcements:

2. Reminder: Request a booth at the Activities Midway
3. MIT Museum: Calling all tour guides!

---------------------------------------------------------------

1. ASA Recruitment Rules now in effect

The ASA Recruitment Rules Advertising and Events Moratorium Periods have now
begun and are in effect until the Midway. Please read and follow these rules
carefully: http://web.mit.edu/asa/rules/recruitment-rules.html
Clarifications including rules and guidelines for the SLOPE Tuesday Night Event
are posted at:
http://web.mit.edu/asa/rules/recruitment-rules-clarifications.html.
If you have any questions or want clarification on specific situations contact
us at asa-exec at mit.edu.

Important points to note:
- disallowed advertising methods before the Midway include:
* mass emails to those not previously known to the group
* handing out flyers
* actively collection or soliciting information from new students
* inviting freshmen to Facebook groups
* using extremely limited advertising spaces (such as drop poster spaces)
- any events with any recruitment component are also disallowed until after the
Midway
- all Publicity Guideline violations (such as postering violations) will be
fined at triple the normal rate and fines may be given instead of warnings for
first offenses. Additional postering restrictions are also in place.
- exemptions must be sought at least two weeks in advance by email to
asa-exec at mit.edu

Athletic Center.

3. MIT Museum: Calling all tour guides!

Do you know the person who leads an edible mushroom tour of MIT?
Has your class produced promenade theater in the MIT tunnels?

In celebration of MIT's 150th birthday, the MIT Museum is mounting a major
exhibition celebrating the history, people, ideas, activities, and character of
the Institute. In connection with this exhibition, we want to know about
existing tours of MIT, from the traditional to the outrageous.

If you have any leads on official or non-official MIT campus tours, please
contact Rebecca Uchill at ruchill at mit.edu. Ultimately, we will connect visitors
with an array of these tours, perhaps in combination with each other (a dance
practice-meets-molecular gastronomy tour? sign me up!)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Please feel free to email asa-exec at mit.edu with any requests, questions, or
other inquiries.

Sincerely,
The ASA Executive Board
