Activities Fee is going. Over the summer, I worked on getting
Mehrabian office hours, the Pitt-CMU shuttle cross-over, and reopening
Scotland Yard in the Morewood Rec Room.  Focus groups are being set
up for specifics - see next week's Tartan for details.

	Treasurer: (Emma Gosden) 18 organizations went overbudget: a
total of $36,223.94.  I have met with all of these groups. 15
organizations have already had their issues resolved: many agreed to
have their excess subtracted from this year's subsidy.  Therefore,
only three organizations are yet to be resolved.  Also: Man datory
fiscal seminars are being held in the next two weeks.  Every
Activities Fee funded organization must send representatives.  The
seminars will be held at the following dates and times: 9/7:
