1. Rice Microfinance Meeting!
Hey RMF! Come on Thursday from 7-8pm so that we can all register for kiva and organize into committees, as well as discuss our event plans for November. If you're interested at all in microfinance but haven't heard of us, come check us out! Hanszen Upper Commons. Thursday. 7pm. Be there or be square!
---------------------------------------------
2. SCREW YER ROOMMATE
As hopefully all of you know, this Friday, October 3rd is one of Rice's most hallowed traditions: SCREW YER ROOMMATE presented by the Rice Program Council. So far all of you aspiring matchmakers out there, it is your chance to set up your roommate with the potential love of his or her life or get him or her back for eating the last Hot Pocket without asking you. It's your call. But either way you're sure to have a good time...or at least a good story.

We've really tried to amp up the meeting process in the quad this year. So show up and in costume at 6:00 sharp for music and a taste of the new Red Bull Cola. Other goodies will also be furnished by Red Bull. Following the date (for better or worse) will be the traditional after party at pub from 10-2.

Expect to see shirts with a new and improved variety of colors for sale this week by your faithful college RPC rep. Buy one or collect them all. But no matter what, everybody participate!
---------------------------------------------
3. Perspectives and Popcorn
Want to learn more about the methods used by all the NGOs and Greg Mortensons in developing societies? What is the theory behind the practice? Which methods of development work and which don't?

Come for a brief presentation followed by an informal discussion this Thursday (Oct. 2nd) at 9:00 PM, hosted by the Women's Resource Center Perspectives and Popcorn series. Everyone is welcome!

For more information, please contact Erin Felton at erinf@rice.edu.

6. Picture Yourself This Friday
This Friday, October 3, is your chance to GUARANTEE you're in the 2009 Campanile Yearbook!
From 6 p.m. until 11 p.m., the Campanile Yearbook Staff will host its Fall Picture Yourself event in the Grand Hall of the RMC.
If you looked through the 08 Campanile and said because you didn't see yourself in the book, here's your opportunity to make up for it.
This is your picture, and you get to do what YOU want: go solo, come in a group, make it serious or make it fun, be yourself, wear a costume, wear a hat, or wear no clothes at all!
Clubs and student orgs, this is also an opportunity to have your club picture taken for the yearbook. Round up your club's members and head for the RMC Friday after dinner. This is the perfect opportunity to make sure your club / student organization gets due representation in the Campanile.
There will be plenty of space in the Grand Hall for people to wait, change clothes, get organized, etc.
Join us this Friday and guarantee yourself a spot in the 2009 Campanile!
As always, feel free to write us if you have any questions or concerns.
Cheers,
The Campanile Yearbook Staff

Professor Robert Stein of the Political Science Department is looking for student pollsters to conduct exit polling of early and Election Day voters in Harris County. Students will work six hour shifts, and receive pay of 75-100 dollars. You can sign up for as many days as you would like, and no previous experience is needed. The only catch: students must provide their own transportation to and from the polling sites (Zipcars, anyone?).
