I couldn’t mentally source it until I recalled the fantastic autograph book we have at Xi – currently on loan to Wilson Library – and then, I remembered.

Iowa Michigan Royster, Xi brother from the late 1850s, is mentioned here. Sometimes, remembering the little details helps connect the dots.

While most things stay the same, SAANC is likely to be assessed $12/month bank fees since the minimum balance is slightly above what we generally maintain. SAANC Treasurer will be talking to Wells Fargo after the transition to see if anything can be done about this.

It is in the xibod wiki here:

http://xibod.org/index.php?title=Grad_Treasury_Manual

If you are a past Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer, or other sibling with advices to give, please feel free to make changes, add stuff, etc. I can take it :) And it will be a better manual for your input.

And for anyone interested in the nitty-gritty-down-and-dirty of how SAANC deals with its finances, it makes good readins.

I congratulate you people on being in the raging mainstream of the arts. It is commercial artists like myself who operate in the backwaters. I inhabit still, tepid waters clogged with dollar bills. I never see people. I’ve forgotten all about them.

Letters of Note: A lot of people believe that beauty is some kind of conspiracy.

Bro. Peter Pendergrass X’07, is featured today in an article for the Daily Tar Heel about his pursuit of academic amazement with a double major and multiple theses.

“A lot of my art deals with vivid dreams,” Pendergrass said.

For the artist, dreams play an important role in his efforts to connect perception and reality, he said. The interpretation of reality and dreams has become a recurring theme in some of his most significant work.

Pendergrass’s thesis combines his studio art background with visual performance to further his interest in the exploration of dreams.

“The dream is, and has always been, a source of mystery, intrigue and inspiration,” Pendergrass said in his thesis proposal.

UNC sealThe future of the University’s side of Greek system leadership rests on the shoulders of Winston Crisp.

The vice chancellor for student affairs will provide the vision as to when, or if, Jenny Levering, the assistant dean for fraternity and sorority life, will be replaced.

But the process is still uncertain — and few variables have been decided.

Bro.

From the description: “This completely original soundtrack was meticulously crafted over 3 years and ranges anywhere from lush organic textures to blood-pumping orchestral action.”

You can download individual songs – or purchase the entire soundtrack – through CD Baby.
