Hey hey,<br>
<br>
We got awarded $500 in Sudler funding for our Rubik's Cube mosaic
project! Right now, we're calling it Yale<sup>3</sup> ("Yale
Cubed"), but feel free to suggest alternative names. The
description we submitted in our Sudler funding application was:<br>

(“Yale Cubed”) is a Bulldog Cube Club project in which we
attempt to recreate images of Yale using only Rubik's
cubes. The cubes will be placed in a rectangular grid and
properly color-oriented to generate impressionistic
paintings of Yale's college crests, iconic buildings, and
beautiful landscapes. We will then take photos of these
creations and use all of the cubes to make a final mosaic
that will go on display along with the photos in an art
exhibit.</span></font><span style="font-size: 11pt;

- these images were created by Kevin Zhou (BK '15) in PhotoShop.
If you have other ideas or suggestions, please share!<br>

Right now, we're also applying for $300 of UOFC funding. We've
submitted our application, but before UOFC can grant us the
money, they need "a letter of proof of storage" of the Rubik's
Cubes we plan to buy. Basically, they need proof that we have
arranged to store the Rubik's Cubes we are buying somewhere and
are not keeping them for ourselves. Kevin and I have already
asked our Master's Office (ES and BK) if they had storage space,
but they said they didn't. Could some of you in other colleges
ask your Master's Offices if they have any storage room? We
need a "letter of proof of storage" in order to get UOFC
funding. With our combined $800 of funding, we hope to buy
around 2000 Rubik's Cubes, and the storage needed for them would
only be about three 20" x 20" x 20" boxes. If anybody knows any
other place we can store the cubes, please let us know.<br>
<br>
This Friday's 7-8 PM meeting will be back in the Ezra Stiles
Common Room. After trying several common rooms, it seems the ES
one worked best, so we'll stick to ES for the rest of the
semester. Hope to see you guys there, and as always, bring any
friends who are interested in cubing and/or want to learn how to
solve a cube!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
