Greek House Sprinklers / UM President Search
Friday, January 05, 2007
A couple things today:
Greek Houses to install sprinkler systems
----This is a good thing. Houses with that many electronic things plugged in at one time need to take all the precautions they can. In the Missourian article, it says that Jeffery Beeson, the IFC PR guy, argued for a longer timeframe apparently saying that Fraternities and Sororities are closed during the summer months, thus giving them fewer months to raise the funds necessary to install the sprinkler systems. I didn't realize that a lifelong brotherhood meant lifelong only during school months.
UM Curators may hire a search firm
----This Tribune article mentions that the Curators may hire an executive search firm to hire the new UM system president. That's a waste of money. I would much rather see them put together a committee compromised of prominent system alumni to do the search.
