3rd meeting (10/15): Bake Sale Discussion and Movie Evening

In order to address the concerns of those who would like to attend the Tuesday meetings but could not make it at that time, the PSI CHI officers decided to try and see if alternating the times of the meetings with a meeting on Tuesday (4pm-5pm) and a meeting on Wednesday (5pm-6pm) in a month. The turn-out was quite good last night and we have decided to stick to that plan for the rest of the semester.

We discussed about the upcoming bake sale in which the proceeds would go to the Ronald MacDonald House. Members volunteered to help out in baking and selling on next Wednesday (10/22) from 9am-2pm. So, if you are reading this and you're a U of M's student, do drop by Elliott Hall lobby sometime during the bake sale to support our cause.

Later, we watched a documentary by Slavoj Zizek, a Lacanian Marxist, psychoanalyst, philosopher, and politician about himself. It's called "Zizek". He portrays himself as contradictory, self-opinionated, highly doctrinated, pessimistic, and outrageously analytical person; he is constantly obsessed with how things work and why they are they way they are and criticizing mainstream views. Yet, he has tons of fans. He is famous for many controversial books he published. Let's just say he is a unique case study. LOL... We only got through a little bit of the documentary due to time constraint though.
