*SPRING WEEKEND BAND POLL*

The Spring Weekend Committee is currently trying to select the artist(s)
that will be performing for the annual Spring Weekend concert. Though it
is an incredibly busy time for all of us, we would really appreciate your
feedback -- we are trying our hardest to pick a band that the most people
like, so help us out a little.

It's all pretty self-explanatory. Would you come to the concert or not?
Keep in mind that we might be able to get some of these artists together
so base it on whether or not you like them. No limit on how many you say
"Yes" or "No" to so give us all the info you want.

Thanks and pencil in April 29-30 as Spring Weekend.

*GRT POSITIONS*

Graduate Resident Tutors Needed to Work/Live in MIT Dormitories

Residential Life Programs and the MIT Dormitories are looking for graduate
students to mentor and support our undergraduate dormitory students as
live-in Graduate Resident Tutors (GRTs).  GRTs serve within dormitories at
MIT as members of the House Team, led by a Housemaster, (and, in some
cases, an Associate Housemaster) who is a resident member of the faculty
or staff.  Typically a GRT is assigned to a particular area within a
residence, such as a hall, floor or entry. The purpose of the House Team
is to develop and support the residential community, and the GRT plays a
primary role.

The job of the Graduate Resident Tutor (GRT) is to foster a supportive,
safe, and positive living environment for, and to build a community
atmosphere among, undergraduates in MIT residence halls.  This
responsibility includes encouraging personal growth, providing outlets for
managing stress, and facilitating positive interpersonal relationships.  
GRTs are also responsible for implementing community standards, managing
behavioral concerns, enhancing student safety and security, and promoting
mutual respect between and among the residents they serve.  In undertaking
this position, GRTs become part of a residence team led by the
Housemasters and including other GRTs, the Residential Life Associate and
the House Manager.

Compensation

Compensation includes a rent-free apartment or other living quarters for
the duration of employment (including summers and IAP) and a stipend of
$1430 per year in two payments of $730 each.

To apply

The application is available online at http://web.mit.edu/slp/rlp and is
due no later than February 10, 2006.  Applications are screened and
candidates are then invited to interview with individual dormitory
communities.  All inquiries should be addressed to Administrative
Assistant Ed Ruiz, edruiz at mit.edu, 617-452-4280 or Assistant Dean Andrew
Ryder, aryder at mit.edu, 617-258-5487.
