Chinese Room

## Introduction

'The appropriately programmed computer with the right inputs and outputs would thereby have a mind in exactly the same sense human beings have minds'

Searle's objection to Turing's test and functionalism as a whole seeks to dispute the idea that a computer running a programme could have either a mind, or consciousness, and that's not very inclusive now is it Searle? play nice.

## Composition

Searle here imagines that he is inside a blank room with a bunch of mandarin characters that he cannot understand and a book of instructions for making a response, that he can. On the outside of the room there is a Chinese speaker who will write messages and then pass them into the room through a small slot. Searle cannot read nor understand anything that these messages are saying, but with reference to the instructions, he can organise the characters into a response that would seem to emulate actual Chinese conversation, enough so as to fool the person sending the messages.

What he is getting at here is that while his replies are believable, as a robot passing the turing test would be, it isn't indicative of having either a mind, or consciousness, rather an ability to simulate it, which isn't really intelligence at all.
Alimentación

## **Una dieta balanceada**

El concentrado es el tipo de comida que elije la mayoría de los dueños, por ser practica y rápida. Una dieta balanceada contiene las cantidades correctas de nutrientes: proteínas, carbohidratos, grasa,vitaminas y minerales. Los concentrados le garantizan un balance adecuado, si usted alimenta a su perro con comida fresca, su dieta es un poco más compleja. Los requerimientos nutricionales de un perro cambian con la edad. Los cachorros necesitan altos niveles de proteína y calcio que ayudan a su crecimiento y desarollo. Los perros ancianos, por otra parte requieren proteína de muy alta calidad, al igual que elevados niveles de algunas vitaminas ya que el funcionamiento del riñón es menos eficiente. Esto puede causar deshidratación, puesto que se excreta demasiada agua, así que puede elegir:

**TIPOS DE COMIDA**

*Los concentrados secos le dan a su perro una dieta completa y adecuada para su edad, los húmedos pueden causarle problemas dentales. La comida cruda toma más tiempo de preparación.*

1.Concentrado seco para cachorros

2.Concentrado para perros sénior

3.Comida enlatada

4.Carne de bolsa

5.Comida cruda

**ALIMENTOS TÓXICOS**

Algunos alimentos humanos son tóxicos para perros, otros son peligrosos en grandes  Entonces ¿ que comida no se les da a los perros ?

## **¿Cuál plato para mi perro?**

Es mejor invertir en un plato de acero inoxidable con bordes inclinados que en uno de plástico. Escoja un tamaño adecuado para que el perro pueda comer de él fácilmente.

alimentar a un perro viejo con una dieta húmeda en vez de seca para aumentar el aporte de agua. el tipo de alimento que su perro consume también afectará la salud de sus dientes. Un perro que solo se alimenta de comida húmeda es más propenso a necesitar limpieza dental regular.

Su perro necesita dos platos hondos: uno para la comida y el otro para

el agua. Ponga el plato de comida en el piso solo a la hora de las comidas y levántelo cuando su perro termine de comer. El plato del agua debe estar siempre en un lugar accesible y lleno de agua fresca. De los platos para perros, los mejores son los de acero inoxidable, ya que no los pueden morder.
Philosophical Zombies

## Introduction

The **Philosophical Zombies** **(PZ)** argument leads to some of the most misleading artwork and titles in philosophy as a whole. The core idea is of a hypothetical being that looks and acts like a human, but without any of the conscious experience, (i.e. Qualia and the like). What this basically means is that you could poke one with a large stick and it **wouldn't feel any pain**, but it would **act** like it had, or if you showed it the finale of Breaking Bad, it would *act* the right way, but not actually be feeling anything inside. (you thought I was going to spoil it, didn't you?).

It is intended as a counter to Physicalism as a whole and so it can be tweaked and used in response to materialism, behaviourism and functionalism. Some philosophers, like Davey-boy Chalmers, would argue that because a PZ would be physiologically identical to us, even the hypothetical idea of them is a sound enough reason to dump physicalism. On the other hand philosophers like Daniel Dennett say that's a bag of crap, but he's one of them physicalist people, so he does kind of have to refute it.

## Breakdown:

This is roughly how Chalmers' argument goes:

**Premise 1:** Physicalism claims that consciousness is ultimately physical.

**Premise 2:** So, any world which is physically identical to this world must contain consciousness.

**Premise 3:** Yet, we can conceive of a world which is physically identical to this one but in which there is no conscious experience.

**Conclusion:** Therefore, physicalism is false.

## Basically...

It is possible to imagine a world where no-one apart from yourself is actually conscious, they are all machines, or zombies, reacting to stimuli in the same manner as you would though automatically, without mental function.
List of The Hills Cast Members

**The Hills** is an American reality television series that originally aired on MTV from May 31, 2006 until July 13, 2010. Developed as the spin-off of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County , the series aired six seasons and focused on the personal and professional lives of several young women residing in Los Angeles, California. Its premise was originated with Adam DiVello, while Liz Gateley served as the executive producer.

Throughout its run, the series was led by three (Season 5) and four (Seasons 1-4 and 6) primary cast members, who were credited by their first names. Their storylines were largely developed by a number of supporting cast members. It originally focused on Lauren Conrad, who appeared in its predecessor, as she pursued a career in the fashion industry. It additionally placed emphasis on her housemate Heidi Montag and their friends Audrina Patridge and Whitney Port. Conrad's friend Lo Bosworth and Montag's boyfriend Spencer Pratt developed major positions as part of the supporting cast in the second season, while his sister Stephanie Pratt was added in the third. After moving to New York City, Port left the series upon the conclusion of the fourth season to launch her own spin-off The City.

Looking to pursue other career opportunities, Conrad left the series halfway through the fifth season, and was subsequently replaced by fellow Laguna Beach cast member Kristin Cavallari. Bosworth and the female Pratt joined Cavallari and Patridge as primary cast members in the sixth and final season, while Montag and her husband Pratt were removed during that season.

Aeropuerto Internacional Carriel Sur

El **Aeródromo Carriel Sur** (código IATA: **CCP**, código OACI: **SCIE**) es el único aeropuerto del área metropolitanadel Gran Concepción, Chile. Se ubica específicamente en la comuna de Talcahuano. En abril de 2009 recibió la homologación de aeropuerto internacional, gracias a las reparaciones efectuadas en su pista de aterrizaje y la instalación un sistema de aterrizaje instrumental ILS I.

Este aeropuerto es de carácter público.

*Historia:*

Fue inaugurado el 3 de enero de 1968 por el presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva, en reemplazo del Aeródromo Hualpencillo a solicitud del aquel entonces Alcalde de Talcahuano, Luis Macera Dellarossa, quien solicitó los terrenos a don Carlos Herrera Mendez, ingeniero y propietario de estos.

En el 2001 se realizó la construcción de un nuevo edificio terminal de aproximadamente 8000 metros cuadrados, en dos niveles con cuatro mangas de embarque; nueva plataforma para estacionamiento de aeronaves; mejoras a la vialidad interior del aeropuerto; ampliación de los estacionamientos públicos, y una planta de tratamiento de aguas servidas.

La concesión, a cargo de la empresa Aerosur S.A., incorpora la explotación de servicios comerciales, tales como: servicios a compañías aéreas (mesones de chequeo de pasajes y equipajes, mangas de embarque, oficinas, etc.) y a pasajeros (estacionamientos, venta de bienes, restaurante, salones VIP, etc.).

El Aeropuerto Carriel Sur está equipado con los instrumentos de acercamiento y de posicionamiento electrónico necesarios para recibir vuelos internacionales que no pudieran aterrizar en el Aeropuerto Internacional Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez. Ocasionalmente, en otoño e invierno, recibe algunos vuelos desviados desde Santiago por niebla.

En noviembre de 2008, se remodeló la pista 20, la cual no había sido sometida a una revisión de gran envergadura desde su construcción. Luego de 6 meses de trabajo, donde se realizaron trabajos de reasfaltado y reemplazo de unos 20 metros de pista central, reparación y reemplazo de luminarias, y pintado de la pista, ésta fue entregada el 17 de abril de 2009. Con esta remodelación, el recinto aéreo puede recibir aviones de gran envergadura en casos de emergencia, como losBoeing 747 y Airbus A340, siendo además habilitado y homologado como Aeropuerto Internacional.

Su clasificación OACI es 4E, gracias a sus 2600 metros de largo y 45 metros de ancho de pista de aterrizaje.
Normative Ethics

## Haha, *Norm-ative*....

...What? Anyway, **Normative, or First Order Ethics** is the search for what makes actions morally good or bad and there are three main ways of approaching it.

* First, there is the consequentialist approach that argues **good and bad comes from the outcomes of actions**, this is approach taken by Mill and Bentham in Utilitarianism, a *good* decision here is one that maximises the amount of happiness while minimising suffering, I.e. saving children from a burning building or not. Saving them would make more people happy than not as they are alive/ they don't have to get new children and minimise suffering as the parents do not have to go through the pain of child loss.
* Secondly, there is the Deontological approach, put forward by Kant, that suggests **morality lies in intention**: It doesn't matter that you stopped a bank heist by tripping the robber over if you didn't know that he was holding the place up; you were just tripping someone up, *you arsehole*. Kant put forward two formulations of a thing called the Categorical Imperative in order to make judge whether your intentions were truly good
* Finally, there is Virtue Ethics. Aristotle's theory believes that **morality lies in developing a virtuous character** and making sure that you act in the most virtuous way, focuses on the **inherent character of a person, rather than on specific actions.**

## So what about applying this knowledge?

Well as it so happens, you may just get a question that is a variation on '*What does it mean to say that an ethical theory is normative?*', and that can basically be surmised by saying that it seeks to show that actions can be right, or wrong and how one would arrive at this conclusion.
Suzanne Lin

Suzanne Lin (**"Superluminosity"**) is an alumni brother from the Alpha Tau class and was the third Interchapter Relations Chair of the Beta Iota chapter.

## Family information

Suzanne is a member of the Fast Family, which is a branch of the larger Zhong family. Her big is Emily Koo, who also took Jody Lee.

Suzanne's littles include Bryan Joe, Johnson Tsai, and Brittany Cho.

## Interchapter Relations Co-Chair

Suzanne served as the Interchapter Relations Co-Chair with then-former Interchapter Relations Chair Henry Man during the Spring 2014 semester.
War

## Huh, what is it good for?

War can have the affect of taking what is normally a subject of hypotheticals and exposing it to some rather unsavoury real-life scenarios. As such, it is worth exploring how each theory, which is primarily designed to work in a society, functions in a dynamic where everyone is trying to kill each other.

Meta-ethics

## What's this all about then?

**Meta** (meaning 'above' in Greek) **ethics** is how we approach examining, not morality, but moral discussion itself. Here you'd be looking at stuff like:

* 'Is morality a human construct?' (is there any outside source for morality? - you'll have seen a bit of this when examining morality and religion last year with the idea that God could be the source of morality, or there could be something higher than God, thus making God not omnipotent. Or on the other hand, we could just be making this all up and there's not really any meaning behind it, it's just a set of evolved behaviours that have helped us survive as a social species)
* Do moral words have meaning? (this is basically the second half of the course. If yes, then it is possible to achieve the moral framework that gives a definitive right and wrong. On the other hand, if not, there is no meaning behind our saying *that's bad* other than expressing a personal distaste. This is sometimes referred to as the 'boo-hurrah' theory and one of the major criticisms of Non-Cognitivism, especially Emotivism)

## More things:

Meta ethics is a rather wide topic, but the relevant things to our course would be

* Cognitivism/Non-Cognitivism
* The Is/ought gap
* the Naturalistic Fallacy
* Objectivity/subjectivity of moral judgements
Aristotle

## Aris-totally Wicked

Whoa, this guy did pretty much everything. A Greek philosopher and scientist, born in the past, had a father call ***Nichomachus*** who died when he was very young, then had a son named ***Nichomachus***, studied at **Plato's Academy** for 19 years from the age of 18, taught Alexander the Great and continued the trend started by Socrates of philosophers trolling Athens because they know that if you kill them, it only makes them stronger.

## Theories:

He is responsible for that which we modern day humans call 'Virtue Ethics', a character centred approach based not around intentions or outcome, in an event, but whether or not you are a *good person*.

Crime and Punishment

## Overview

Different branches of philosophy have taken different approaches to the concept of 'justice' and what it should entail. Here we examine what steps should be taken and how we approach the treatment of criminals. One tact suggests that punishment should be reactionary and act as a deterrent to dissuade others from committing the same crime, while others believe it should be rehabilatory; allowing convicts to rejoin society as an optimal member, one who has had a lesson and learned from it. Each theory places different value on each of these methods, though in some cases, it can be argued either way.

## Utilitarianism

As utilitarianism is a consequentialist theory of normative ethics, it focuses on the consequences punishment would have on both the criminals and the victims. So, to calculate what the appropriate utilitarian response is to crime and punishment, we have to take into account the severity of the original crime and the effects of the subsequent punishment. Utilitarianism argues that punishment must be proportionate to the crime. There are five different factors we particularly need to focus on when considering punishment in response to crime:

1. Rehabilitation
2. Deterrence
3. Prevention
4. Retribution

With regard to the above points, some factors must be prioritised above others. For example, the concept of retribution does not seem to produce as much pleasure as pain, whereas the concept of deterrence seems to lead to greater pleasure for society as a whole. Rehabilitation seems to lead to more happiness for everyone, but may not be proportionate to the crime committed. Deterrence and prevention appear to make society happier in general but also need to be proportionate, for example, handing out a fine to someone who has littered, rather than cutting their hand off.

Rule utilitarians would argue that laws must be obeyed at all times, whereas act utilitarians would judge each case on its details. There is debate on whether the death penalty is utilitarian or not, as though capital punishment can be proportionate it does not appear to be a form of rehabilitation.

Beta Iota

Alpha Phi Omega's **Beta Iota** chapter is the resident chapter of the fraternity at New York University. Situated in New York City's Greenwich Village, it is part of Region 1's Section 97.

## History

The chapter was rechartered on February 29th, 1992.

### Record growth during the Johnny Szeto presidency

During Johnny Szeto's term, Beta Iota witnessed tremendous membership growth in both semesters. The initiation of the Alpha Sigma class welcomed 31 new brothers in Fall 2012, and the Alpha Tau class welcomed 39 new brothers in Spring 2013.

### Post-Wei Jian chapter growth

Riding off from a largely successful interchapter and leadership program the previous semester, the chapter expected to continue the same successes during the first semester of the Loriah presidency.

## Leadership

*Main article: Executive Board (Beta Iota)*

Chapter business is usually conducted during chapter meetings on most Mondays each semester when NYU is in session.

## Awards

In 2013, the chapter received an award for membership growth.

Beta Iota won three consecutive Section 97 MTA awards in 2013, 2014, and 2015 for the most interchapter events attended.
Executive Board (Beta Iota)

Beta Iota chapter's **Executive Board** (**e-board**) is the chapter's primary body of leadership and is responsible for coordinating the chapter's programs and activities for each semester. Admission to the Executive Board is determined by voting at chapter elections held at the end of each semester, generally after the initiation ceremony.

Because the duties for each position are highly specialized, thus recently initiated brothers are rarely elected into the Executive Board.

## Composition

Four vice presidents exist for Service, Fellowship, Leadership, and Fundraising. Originally there were only two vice presidents, each for Service and Fellowship. Because the chapter was selected to host SLED in Fall 2012, the Leadership Vice President position was created to fully represent and develop within the chapter the fraternity's three cardinal principles. In Fall 2015, the position of Fundraising Chair was promoted to "Vice President."

The positions of Secretary, Treasurer, and Historian are derived from their counterparts in other organizations for in-chapter correspondence, book-keeping, and record keeping. Because of an integral component to chapter development rested upon the pledging process, another key non-chair position is the Pledgemaster.

## Ad-hoc positions

Ad-hoc executive board positions may be created by the chapter for specific or recurring events, or functions of lesser importance.

* Gala Chair
* Sectionals Chair
* Swag Committee Chair

## Discontinued positions

### Big Brother Baruch Committee Chair

The position of Big Brother Baruch Committee Chair was created to liaise with the Baruch College Petitioning Group (now Gamma Delta) during their rechartering effort.

Trainwreck

**Trainwreck** is an icebreaker game played in Beta Iota. The purpose of the game is have participants to find something in common with one another.

Since at least Spring 2014, the game has been played at induction every semester. Occasionally it is played during rush events and fellowships. It has since become chapter tradition.

## Rules

A circle of chairs is formed in the room and similar to "Musical Chairs," with the total number of chairs one less than the number of total players.

In the beginning of the game, someone (typically a brother) would introduce him or herself in the middle of the circle and would say something about him or herself, Inducing others who share that aspect in common to get up and find another seat. The person in the middle must find an available seat to avoid being in the middle again. The turn proceeds until the final available chair is seated. The remaining person not seated loses and would have to repeat the cycle.

Upon vacating a seat, a participant may not move over to an adjacent seat. The closest seat one can move to must be at least two seats away.

The standard formula to start a round is "Trainwreck if \_\_\_\_\_". Once an attributed has been "trainwrecked" in one turn, it may not be used again.

## Variations

Section 97 plays a similar icebreaker game called "You're in APO, I'm in APO too..."
Conceivability Argument

## Introduction

This is another of Descartes arguments in favour of Substance Dualism where he tries to prove the distinction between **Mind** and **Body**. He argues that he can logically conceive of his mind and body as two separate and distinct things, and as it is not logically inconceivable, it must be possible.

## Breakdown:

**Premise 1:** If I can clearly and distinctly conceive of two things separately, it must be possible to separate them.

**Premise 2(a):** I clearly and distinctly perceive my mind to be a thinking and unextended thing.

**Premise 2(b):** I clearly and distinctly perceive my body to be an unthinking and extended thing.

**Conclusion:** It must be possible for mind and body to be separated in reality, thus meaning they are distinct substances.

## Basically...

'*if you can conceive of it, it must be possible'*, i.e. flying pigs or mountains made of gold, but maybe not virtuous horses.
Freewill

## It's exactly what you think it is.

Unlike other philosophical concepts and names that pop up in other parts of your life this does not have some secret other meaning that the cabal of philosophers came up with to throw off potential students.

The idea of Free Will seems fairly common-sense, I mean, you're probably not reading this out of preference, but at least it feels like you came here using your free will to revise (good for you) but you'd be surprised how often a seemingly innocent theory can go: 'BANG! YOU WERE A SLAVE ALL ALONG!'.

Utilitarianism

## Introduction

Created by Jeremy Bentham and Mill Snr. as an ethical theory promoting pleasure as the ultimate goodness, whereby all actions should be angled to provide the greatest happiness to the greatest number of people.

This was then expanded upon by Mill’s purpose-built android son (codename John Stuart) who was designed and created to further their utilitarian cause, at the cost of John’s humanity.

## The Hedonic Calculus

An apparatus created by the said two Jedi masters of the Utilitarian order, in order to calculate the action that should be taken in a given circumstance that would promote the greatest happiness. This calculus could be accessed by hacking an ordinary graphical calculator and inputting the following sequence: [UP, UP, UP, LEFT, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, UP, UP, UP, LEFT, RIGHT. A.] On the off chance that a B. is inputted instead of the final A. your graphical calculator may be overwritten by the text of the Necronomicon, take care when inputting the code.

The Hedonic (or felicific) calculus features 7 variables, which Bentham calls circumstances. These variables are:

1. Intensity - How strong is the pleasure/pain?
2. Duration - How long is the pleasure/pain going to last?
3. Certainty - How likely or unlikely is it that the pleasure/pain will occur?
4. Propinquity - How soon will the pleasure/pain occur, next Tuesday or 12 years and 37 days from now?
5. Fecundity - The probability that the pleasure/pain will lead to other pleasures/pains.
6. Purity - The probability that it won't be followed by sensations of the opposite kind \*wink\*.
7. Extent - How many people will be effected - Examples here include 9/11, Hiroshima and on the opposite side, David Cameron's funeral.

The two legendary sensei of the Utilitarian cause say that every potentially morally problematic situation we find ourselves in must consult the hedonic calculus in order to find out which action will create the greatest happiness.

## Higher and lower pleasures

While Bentham argues that all pleasure is equal, famously saying "poetry is as good as Grand Theft Auto", Mill firmly disagreed. Mill argues that there exist higher pleasures - things that require that you use your rational capabilities, thinking activities like debate, poetry and playing Scrabble. He says these should be worth more than lower pleasures - non-thinking activities based around your animalistic pleasures, like sex, action games and eating chocolate.

The Treatment of Animals

## Introduction

Where do animals stand in terms of rights? I mean, we can't *talk* to them or anything, and if they're not thinking, they could just be receptive automata, so does it even matter if they feel pain or die? On the other hand, some of them are adorable and unless you passed the psychopath test (not a good thing) you'd feel pretty crap about hurting one, so how should we treat them?

## Utilitarianism

Applying utilitarianism to the issue of how to treat animals rests on whether we accept Singer's argument that as both humans and animals possess sentience, and so the suffering and happiness of animals should be taken into account when discussing how we should treat animals.
Substance Dualism

## Introduction

Stemming from the work of the ancient greeks, this is the version of Dualism and Plato which suggests that there are two substances that make a human being: mind and matter. Plato and his forms marked some of the first thinking into how the substance part of dualism might come about. His theory was that our bodies were the physical, corporeal part, then our *souls* were something different entirely, immortal and everlasting, you couldn't kill someone's soul. Once the body had perished due to natural or unnatural causes, then the soul would go to the world of the forms, where our understanding of beauty, justice and logic come from. Plato would then argue that the reason we don't all pop out of the womb with the intellectual age of an immortal being is that the strain of birth makes us forget. We are only left with an **impressions** of the forms, allowing us to understand the world around us.

Later on, Descartes would give the theory a name, and stuck *'Cartesian'* on the front, like a little Latin name-tag. You know, in case one of the other philosophers picked it up by accident and thought it was theirs. Coming from a different culture and religious background to the Greeks, Descartes held that the*immaterial mind'* and the **material body** are **two completely different types of substances** and that they interact with each other. This, he would argue very well. In fact, he made such a good case for it that he was then unable to make it work completely as a theory.

## Important Terms

Substance: A thing capable of existing independently of anything else

Mind: a substance that possesses mental properties: e.g. believing, doubting.

Body: a substance that possesses physical properties: e.g. height, mass.

Leibniz's Law: If 'x' has a property that is not possessed by 'y', then 'x' is not 'y'.

## Arguments for:

* The Indivisibility Argument
* The Conceivability Argument
* Freewill
* Privacy and privileged access: I, and only I, know my mental states .
* Qualia: the 'what it is like' of experience

## Arguments against:

* Masked Man Fallacy
* The problem of other minds
* The Mind Body Problem
* Interactionism contradicts a basic law of physics: the conservation of energy
* The 'ghost in the machine' - Category mistake

## Important Quotes

APO Hoodie

The **APO Hoodie** is a personalized hooded sweatshirt traditionally purchased by a Big to an initiating Little. In recent years, the hoodie has become virtually standardized in appearance.

## Description

The hoodie is typically dark navy blue (as opposed to royal blue) and has the Greek letters Alpha Phi Omega on the front. These letters are gold-colored with a royal blue outline.

The wearer's fraternity nickname is embroidered onto the sleeve in gold letters. Spring 2012 was the last class to feature membership numbers.

Until Spring 2012, the hoodie featured embroidered chapter letters on the sleeve and was replaced with the semester initiated in gold, cursive letters. The former practice has been revived since Fall 2014. Brothers from the Alpha Rho to Alpha Phi classes have the option to add embroidered chapter letters by themselves.

Dualism

## Introduction

Dualism holds that mind and body are two separate things altogether. This would appear to make sense based off our everyday interactions, as you don't feel to have lost anything from your mind if your body is damaged. Outside of the obvious pain, you can imagine that your mind would not be changed if you were separated from a foot or hand. This theory is also one of the only views of the nature of being that allows for life after death, as if the two are separable then the mind could pass to an afterlife, whereas one bound to a physical form could not.

Dualism walks the line between the entirely mental Solipsism, and the materialist theories. However, as Descartes finds, sometimes arguing for a separation can lead to going one way or the other.

## Relevant practicioners:

### **Plato**

Big Grandaddy of the theory, pioneered it with 'the forms', as our mental state transcends our physical existence and will return to another body later when the one you're in dies.

### **Descartes**

Biggest advocate of the theory in (relatively) recent times and a victim of his own success. Argued his case so well that he couldn't really finish his thesis without resorting to **PINEAL GLAND!**

## Variations

**Substance Dualism**

**Property Dualism**

Spring 2014 interchapter program

The **Spring 2014 interchapter program** was one of the most successful interchapter programs in chapter history. With 14 events and initiatives, the Spring 2014 interchapter program enabled the Beta Iota chapter to win the MTA Award for the most interchapter events for a second consecutive time.

## Background

The Fall 2013 semester placed less focus on interchapter relations due to the fact that Gamma Delta re-chartered in September that year and more on internal development instead. And because the chapter was hosting the 2014 Section 97 Conference, President Wei Jian Ong decided to have incumbent Shirley Ngo focus on the conference as the Sectionals Chair and make vacant the position of Interchapter Relations Chair.

In the meantime, newly chartered Gamma Delta wanted to work closely with Alpha Gamma Gamma (CUNY Hunter).

In January 2014, the chapter revised membership requirements to increase individual activity within the chapter. As part of the 2014 Membership Policy, both brothers and pledges would have to take part in either an interchapter or leadership event in order to remain active or initiate.

## Committee leadership

Because the concept of interchapter relations was of relatively little importance to the chapter then, there was no committee assigned for it.

Suzanne Lin was motivated by an event with brothers from Gamma chapter (Cornell University) in November 2013. She also had event planning experience from her job, which she subsequently eventually applied to planning interchapter events.

Henry Man had already served for two consecutive terms as the Interchapter Relations Chair and therefore had experience in the field. He already worked with most of the chapters in Section 97, as well as those in neighboring Sections 101 and 102.

## Relations with other chapters

### Within Section 97

Ties were rapidly built with the St. John's petitioning group as early as February.

## Legacy

Spring 2014 saw a major turnaround for the chapter's interchapter program. Coupled with the fact that there was a new requirement for interchapter events, the chapter found greater importance to develop better interchapter relations and plan more events.

The St. John's petitioning group continued to see Beta Iota as a reliable partner for interchapter service and fellowship projects to meet their chartering requirements.

La visita al veterinario

**Encontrar al veterinario adecuado**

A la hora de buscar un veterinario, lo mejor es que se deje llevar por su intuición. Pregúntese si usted mismo confiará su salud a ese médico.

¿Le causa una buena impresión la consulta? ¿El personal auxiliar parece motivado y competente?

Un buen veterinario se toma su tiempo con su protegido y le trata con cuidado. Sin embargo, en el caso delos perros, a veces lo decide todo la simpatía. Si su perro congenia en absoluto con el veterinario, quizá debería probar en otra consulta.

**Que un perro espere con paciencia y se deje explorar sin problemas en una visita al veterinario depende también de su confianza.**
John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck ( ジョン・スタインベック, *Jon Sutainbekku* ) Era miembro del gremio . Cuando terminó la guerra, creó su propia organización, The Remnants Of The Guild .

## Apariencia

Lleva una gorra plana en la parte superior de la cabeza, una camisa blanca con las mangas un poco subidas, un overol azul con un cinturón negro, Steinbeck es un hombre joven de estatura y complexión promedio, con cabello rubio corto y ojos azules. y botas oscuras.

Lleva consigo una patata cruda y navaja, una herramienta que utiliza para activar su habilidad.

## Personalidad

Steinbeck parece ser un hombre relajado y tolerante, que comenta casualmente sobre el campo y habla con su socio, Lovecraft , sin importarle que lo escuchen.

Su habilidad le otorga una gran confianza en sí mismo, lo suficiente para pasar tiempo hablando con sus enemigos, lo que también puede ser su perdición.

Afirma odiar los quehaceres, tratando de ahorrarse algunos problemas mientras los realiza, lo que demuestra que es una persona astuta, pero de ninguna manera es un perezoso, ya que es lo suficientemente capaz para llevar a cabo las misiones que se le encomiendan.

Aunque puede ser educado y amable, no muestra ningún respeto por sus enemigos, afirmando que no le importa lo que tiene que hacerles. Pero no es una mala persona del todo, debido a que su principal motivo para hacer este trabajo es su familia

## Habilidad

La habilidad de Steinbeck, **Las uvas de la ira** ( 怒りの葡萄, *Ikari no Budō* ) Le permite a Steinbeck cultivar vides de cualquier parte de su cuerpo. Al injertar las vides adheridas a su cuerpo a otras plantas, la flora en todo el vecindario se convierte en una extensión de su cuerpo.

Sus propias ramas, así como las otras de la flora, pueden usarse como un medio para capturar y sujetar a una persona u objeto con una fuerza tremenda, así como para protegerlo de ataques.

Incluso puede combinar su habilidad con la de Q, debido al hecho de que la habilidad de Q maldice a las personas que las lastiman. El plan de emergencia de Fitzgerald involucró sus dos habilidades: Steinbeck usa sus Uvas de la Ira para conectar las plantas directamente en el cuerpo de Q, afectando su sentido Por lo tanto, cuando una persona daña una planta de alguna manera, daña Q, lo que hace que la persona sea maldecida.
