[Martin F. Holmes]

Dear Undergraduates,

I wanted to inform you of a few quick items:

1)  Student Faculty Dinners:  Get free food with your favorite professor!
***There is still time to get a group of 3-5 students together for a free dinner
with the faculty member of your choice.  This is a great opportunity to meet an
MIT faculty member, get a recommendation, and eat some free food.  All
participants will be reimbursed up to $20.  You may sign up at

so organize your groups and invite faculty members now!  Please direct
questions to Stephanie at sjyaung at mit.edu.

2)  Finance Board Membership:  Allocate $200,000 to student groups!
***Finboard is a UA organization of 10 students who allocate around $200,000 per
year to ASA-recognized undergraduate student groups.  Interested parties will
work with 20-30 related groups and will be responsible for communicating and
recommending allocation amounts for them.  Finboard meets one weekend a
semester with occassional office hours.  The time commitment is significant
only in bursts.  If you are interested, please download an application at

hea at mit.edu.

3)  Webmaster:  Get paid up to $3000 to design an innovative new UA website!
