The Buggy Alumni Association is holding its first ever events this homecoming and if you know buggy, you’re going to want to be there. People are flying in from around the country to kick things off, there are even buggies coming in from out of town.
Here’s the event lineup:

We know, it’s tough. You don’t want to miss anything going on here, but you can’t be checking all parts of the site for new activity every 10 minutes. RSS to the rescue.
The way we’ve set it up is that you can subscribe to any of the sections of the site, or to the one “ultimate” feed which merges the other feeds.

I would of course recommend the Ultimate
Sweepstakes proposed two rule changes at yesterday’s meeting, one of which is pretty interesting.
A modification to rule 3.4.1 “Fines” would add this:
Any fines imposed due to a failure to complete assigned chores will double on each consecutive day of Freeroll Practice that they are not completed. On any weekend that chores are completed, the dollar amount for any additional fines will be reset to their original value.
A modification to rule 3.3.3 “Initial Organizational Meeting” would now read like this:
One week after the sweepstakes races conclude, the departing Sweepstakes Committee is required to hold Chairmenʼs meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to elect a Sweepstakes Chairman, an Assistant Sweepstakes Chairman, and a Safety Chairman for the next school year. Should a new Committee fail to be elected, an organizational meeting of the Sweepstakes Committee shall be held before September 15th each school year.
The first one is just trying to coerce those slacking teams to pull their weight and keep things running smoothly. If it works, great.
The second one is interesting. The committees have been coming together more slowly in recent years as nominations to the positions have been more scarce. This puts the committee in a tough situation of trying to get rolls started on very short notice.
I wasn’t at the meeting, so I don’t know what was said already, but perhaps someone that was there will fill everyone else in?

I have just added a new album in the gallery called Buggy Portraits
We can now link pictures from this album to the profile of each buggy so that we can put a face with the name in the history section. Currently the album has 46 pictures which means we’re missing pictures for 142 of the 188 buggies currently in the database. If you have a good picture of a missing buggy, please add it to the album, and we’ll have it linked up asap.
[Ed Note: Updated to be a working link to a modern version of the same thing as of September 2023 — we also now are missing photos of only 19 of 563 buggies, as of this writing.]
Welcome to CMUBuggy.org!
We’ve put a lot of hard work into this stie, and we hope you like it. There are multiple ways you can help make it better.
Straight from the new sweepstakes chairman,

The buggy chairmen met on Monday Sept 15th, and elected the 2008 committee:
Beta and SAE were at the meeting and plan on being back in the mix this year.
