Some discussion of the anatomical differences between cows and humans. If anyone has other suggestions for t-shirt designs, send them to mitbeef@mit. Posters. Send poster ideas to mitbeef@mit. rwbarton should find out about ASA bulletin board allocation. New business ------------ Voodoo ad. The editors of Voo Doo have offered to run a free ad for mitbeef if we can come up with something sufficiently humorous. Send any ideas for such an ad to mitbeef@mit. Beef jerky. We have access to a meat locker (jerky-making machine). We'll be making beef jerky for our next meating. Making beef jerky takes time, so lael and molly will start poking people about a week in advance. Activities calendar. yuranlu will be in charge of adding mitbeef activities to the MIT events calendar. Great American Meat-Out/In... is in March, a long way away. We should do something for it.
