National SPS
You get a card. A card! What other reason do you need?
And a year's subscription to Physics Today.

next friday at 3:00 Lathrop
He studies geomagnetic fields
there is a giant ball of liquid sodium
we'll get a tour of this and other labs

about 19 people

The vending machine now works once again.
Please don't try to steal from the machine. It breaks easily and we're out of replacement parts.

Talks from profs may be in the cards
Anyone who has a suggestion for a prof to give a talk is encouraged to talk to said prof and to Luke about it.

Our VP has consulted The Internet about camping
Dolly Sod's in Vest VA is one possibility
It has, like, flowers
Also there are bears.
(Flowers and bobcats and bears, oh my)
Calvert Cliffs
Cunningham Falls (cheaper than others in MD)
Sky Meadows in WV
Is not actually in the sky
Has actual water spigots

The voting tally on easy camping versus the one with the bears:
Easy: zero
Bears: a lot
Bears it is!

So, concerning whitewater rafting
We've been assured there will be no sharp pointy rocks there to kill us

There are camp grounds near Deep Creek
So we could do both rafting and camping

Doughnuts are still in limbo for the time being.
Brian will take care of it.

Caroline was looking into some outreach stuff.
E-mailing local schools in PG county.
We could take some trips to local high-schools to do demos.

People who have research to present:
March 31st is the deadline.

There's no demo, curses.

Back to the list of minutes.
