Hi Everyone!

We're really excited to announce that our last BUSSA event of this semester will be a Gingerbread City-Making Competition on Thursday, Dec 6 @ 7pm in the 2nd floor lobby of Wurster. Yup, think all the fun of gingerbread-house making, but even CRAZIER. Better yet, we've invited Cal's AIAS (American Institute of Architecture Students) club as well so that we can have both planners and architects on each team to create that much better of a city!

No need to form a team, just show up and we'll split people into teams. Be ready to meet new people! And as the grand prize, the winning team gets to have their gingerbread creation displayed in Wurster in a nifty glass architectural display box. We'll also be announcing new BUSSA officers for the next calendar year, so you'll have an opportunity to hear about plans for next semester as well as voice any ideas you may want to see happen.

So come by for some free holiday fun + yummy hot chocolate!

See you soon!

After going through all the forms we receive, we'll invite the finalists for each position to an informal interview/informative officers meeting, and the new officers will be announced by the end of this semester.

DINNER & A MOVIE WITH BUSSA

Wednesday Nov. 15 @ 6:00 p.m. in Wurster room 314B
Don't be late!

FEATURING
FREE CHEESEBOARD PIZZA

& Showing
THANK YOU FOR SMOKING
Info at: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427944/
Starring: Aaron Eckhart and Katie Holmes
Summary:
Tobacco industry lobbyist Nick Naylor has a seemingly impossible task: promoting cigarette smoking in a time when the health hazards of the activity have become too plain to ignore. Nick, however, revels in his job, using argument and twisted logic to place, as often as not, his clients in the positions of either altruistic do-gooders or victims. Nick's son Joey needs to understand and respect his dad's philosophy, and Nick works hard to respond to that need without compromising his lack of values. When a beautiful news reporter betrays Nick's sexually-achieved trust, his world seems in danger of collapsing. But there's always one more coffin nail in Nick's pack.
