ties/other avenues? & SUOCer til death

Syracuse University Outing Club
SOUC is a member of the Intercollegiate Outing Club Association and SOUC GROTTO is a member of the National Speleological Society. I wonder if any help would be forth coming from them, or if SUOC has any other ties(?) that may be concerned about a for-profit/administrative takeover. I know its reaching (even if they cared, the tie needs some pull to it)...but trying all the angles can't hurt. Although I guess the Power grab issue is really solved by convincing those above Mitch that money will be short-coming from alumni or if insurance is an actual problem then dealing with it and showing how the take-over won't.

Well, I'm off to write my letters as an SU alumnus. I'll make sure to include that as a “lifetime member”, my SOUC membership card is laminated, in my wallet and has the expiration date of “DEATH” written on it. I’ll never think of it differently. Kagen
