VII. Executive Board Reports

A. President: On the flowers: both people are out of the hospital, but we’re still going to try to get the flowers to their houses. The next CAUSE newsletter will be sent out once it is received. To receive the newsletter, be sure to give Anondah your name (first and last) and your HSU E-mail. The President’s meeting was called of last week due to illness, but will be meeting next week on Friday, 3PM in Agate. The Campus Dialogue on Race schedule has been passed out-check it out. Meeting with JC tomorrow at 3:30. Finally, have a safe Halloween!

B. Vice President: Had LAB meeting (finally!), which went well: only Hill and RPB Vice Chair didn’t show. Will be bringing back the updated policy book next meeting.

C. Secretary/BOA/Dinning Committee: Who got the hidden announcement? Congrats to Megan for almost getting it, and props to Brittany for trying to remember and Jonathan for remembering the E-mail quote. Candy for all, courtesy of the Secretary! Anyway, only 3 people have shown interest in Dinning Committee-I need more people!

D. Treasurer/BOF: BOF was cancelled last Friday, but will meet again this Friday. Afterward, will meet every OTHER Friday. Budget is good. WOOBOF!

E. NCC: Got back from PACRUH Nicole, Anondah and Nancy will be presenting their programs at the PACRUH conference. Also, the charity event will give kids a turkey made out of candy. (Turkey out of candy? And I though a Turdunken was weird…)

VIII. Representatives and Committee Reports

A. RPB: Finalizing plans for Haunted JGC-7-11:30 on Tuesday (on Halloween-how convenient…). November program is “Masturbation in November” (bet THAT got your attention!). $500 is going toward prizes, which include candy and vibrators. December program is a semi-formal dance on December 9th. T-shirt design has been finalized, though the colors aren’t. Finally, RPB will not meet next week (see ROCC report).

B. ROBOT: VGC kicked…ermm, butt. Kelsey gets mad props. Will not meet this week (see ROCC report). Apparently, ROBOT means “Ranseurs Only Breaks Ordinary Things.”

C. ROCC/Diversity Advocate: Expressions of Oppression: Wednesday, Nov 1st from 6-8 PM. As a result, ROCC and every other council that starts with an “R” that hasn’t already met (i.e.-RHA) will not meet this week.

D. ResLife: ResLife doesn’t love us…

E. NRHH: Starting next Sunday, Kuddles 4 Kids every weekend.

F. Creekview: Had dance in Creekside Lounge. Things are working out for stairwell safety.

G. Canyon: Working on getting a BBQ area. Also, doing a Jam Hour at 5:30 on Friday-all musicians welcome. Finally, working on a garden for a memorial for Kim.

H. Hill: Planning to have a documentary movie night-$99.99 allocated (don’t you love loopholes?). So far, has split budget 50/50 for programs and community development. Also allocated $99.99 for snacks for council, as well as working on Beatles Dance.

I. Cypress: Had 27 people come to Cypress Council meeting (biggest turnout yet!) Allocated $15 for sunflower seeds for Canyon’s garden memorial for Kim (planting-not eating. But we knew that already). Set times for “rehearsal” and preparation for Haunted JGC. No comments for redesigning Cypress.

J. Manor: Didn’t have a meeting, but had a Halloween party, which made Ryan happy. Planning things for the rest of the semester and next year-so far, so good. Forgot something important, though…also, Manor rotates chairs, since they’re more of a social council.

K. AS: Small group dialogue will be put on by AS, bottom of the J on Friday. Also, there was no meeting.

L. (2) UC Board of Directors (n/v): Meets this Wednesday.

M. Alcohol and other Drugs (n/v): Dealing with a time conflict.

N. Student Health Advisory (n/v): Vacant

O. Rec Center (n/v): Still hasn’t met.

P. University Space and Facilities (n/v): We have an appointee, but the meetings haven’t started yet.

Q. Publicist (n/v): Like a –3-star hotel, the position is vacant.

R. RHA/AS Bonding: Apparently, AS isn’t very efficient, and Michelle had to hunt down the people in AS. Result: apparently, AS can’t plan a program in a month’s time (bureaucracy, not inefficiency). So far, it looks like they want to do a potluck.

S. Sustainability (Ellen will proxy): Sustainability Day went well-large turnout and a lot of dialogue. A lot of people also showed up for the showing of Captain Planet and Oil on Ice. Currently planning on building a garden on campus.

T. Naked: Had first program on Sunday. Unfortunately, there was a low turnout and the TV broke. Made a lot of buttons-which aren’t around.

U. Musical Instrument Policy: Going to have first Canyon Concert on Friday at around 5:30. Committee wants to meet at Monday at 7 at the top of the J.

V. Advisor (n/v): Need to let AS win so they’ll play with us. Dialogue on race schedule will be available in a special edition of the Royal Flush. Offering the RHA class next semester.

IX. Old Business

A. University Budget Crisis Committee

Last week, we felt that we needed this committee, but we still don’t have anyone

Adrienne motions to discuss, Laurence seconds.

Laurence: We need to make this a committee.

Aaron: Do we have anyone here who wants to chair this? At this moment, we have no one who can chair.

Anondah: Until we can get a chair, she will continue to give updates.

Laurence: Is considering chairing the committee.

This will be taken off the agenda until someone steps up to chair the committee. In the meantime, Anondah will continue with the updates.

X. New Business

A. Funding a sleepover (Nancy): $99.99.

Sleepover from Midnight on Saturday Night to Sunday morning. Money is for pizza and Costco items. Wanted to get money from RPB, but since RPB doesn’t meet this week, decided instead to ask RHA.

Alex moves to approve, Laurence seconds.

Aaron: Did come to RPB, but since RPB doesn’t meet, they can’t fund the sleepover (as any budget request requires voting by the full council), which is why she’s going to RHA for funding.

Milo: Are cigarette smokers going to be locked out (since it is a lockdown)? Someone will be kept at the door.

Ethan: Wanted to verify the date (this Saturday the 4th).

Billie: Are there any other programs that will conflict? Program takes place after Midnight-well after most programs are done.

Vote: 15 for, 0 against, 3 Abstentions.

XI. General Council Discussion

Michelle: Went to Richard for Creekview, as well as Derrick, for the Creekview Printer bought by Canyon Council for Creekview’s program. Trying to find solutions to grip tape.

XII. Announcements

Alex: OTM nominations are due Tuesday at Midnight. Inductions are coming up.

Milo: Canyon Concert, this Friday.

Aaron: Haunted JGC! It’s all over the J on Tuesday! Muh, ha, ha!

Nancy: Tunnel of Oppression, this Thursday, bottom of the J!

VII. Executive Board Reports

A. President-MWHD: Pizza with President is at 7:15, so we’d like to get out early. Only got schedules for 2 presidents, but based on them, the meeting is at Friday, 3-4. Had meeting with JC last week, discussed what to do to get new halls built. Also asked RHA to meet for discussions for what to do for maintenance during December. Be sure to mention, to take to your councils this information, so that everyone can put some input in what to do.

B. Vice President-LAB: LAB meeting is finally set up! All Vice Chairs, meet on Friday the 17th at 3PM in Klamath. Also working on updating the RHA constitution.

C. Secretary/BOA/Dinning Committee: BOA met on Thursday, with over half the secretaries showing up. This year, BOA would like to do the scrapbook. Also, BOA would like to do the scripts for ResNews. As for dinning committee, only 2 people have shown interest. Would like to spread the word.

E. NCC: Apparently, NCC is too cool for report.

VIII. Representatives and Committee Reports

D. ResLife: Still no rep…

E. NRHH: Kuddles 4 Kids went well-around 20 teddy bears were made. OTM’s due at Midnight on the 31st (yes, midnight on Halloween). Need NCC binder for NRHH.

F. Creekview: Currently planning a Halloween party and would like to get grip threads and/or sandpaper strips applied to ALL staircases in Creekview (side note: apparently, it is on the maintenance list). Also, finally getting new Ping Pong rackets.

G. Canyon: Canyon-Sponsored Sex Jeopardy went well.

H. Hill: Decided to throw a Beatles-themed dance and formed a committee to do this. Also sponsored a Psychology dinner. Finally, Hill’s VP resigned, but they were able to elect another VP before the meeting was over (who WILL attend the LAB meeting!)

I. Cypress: Formed a committee for the Haunted JGC and are working on a script. Auditions are at 8. Auditions? Wow…

J. Manor: Had an Ice Cream social, huge percentage of residents (11 total, but consider that Manor has 43 people, that’s over 25%) show up. Planning a Halloween party Sunday at 4 PM. Planning stuff for next semester.

K. AS: 611 voters were registered at part of the registration campaign. Campus Sustainability day is coming up. There is a forest dedication on November 16th at the D Street Neighborhood Center. Debates for City Council on Wednesday at 7 PM. KRFH (Radio Free Humboldt) is looking to go FM and went to AS for funding, as AS is non-profit. Also, passed resolution in support of National Coming Out Day and Prop 1D, though did not pass a resolution of Shared Governance because an agreement couldn’t be reached. Trustee Smith (of the CSU Board of Trustees) came by and talked about the budget cuts-but Anondah elaborated on this in Budget Crisis.

M. Alcohol and other Drugs (n/v): No report

IX. Old Business

None.

X. New Business

A. University Budget Crisis Committee

i. Update: Last week, this was talked about, in addition to putting out a resolution. Is there anyone who wants to head this committee? Anondah will continue to give updates, but someone else has to head this committee.

Laurence: This is something that will effect us all and that needs to be done.

Aaron: We should go to the area councils to get volunteers.

Milo: This committee needs to be formed and this process is necessary. This committee needs to not attack the budget cuts, but find solutions to the budget crisis.

Anondah: Will continue to give updates on the budget crisis and will post on Moodle that we need someone to head this committee.

Alex: Will post on Royal Flush.

Milo: Need updates published.

Anondah: CAUSE is doing a newsletter on the budget crisis. If you want to get updates, be sure to get your E-mail to Anondah to get the E-mail updates. Feel free to ask Anondah. More information is in the AS minutes.

ii. Committee?

B. OTM Presentation (Alex)

Lawrence provided Alex with a whiteboard marker.

OTM’s are “Of the Month” awards, facilitated and chosen by NRHH. Every month, nominations are chosen from nominees and are decided, as a group, by the council. There are 20 categories and last month, 10 were won.

To write an OTM, go to www.humbodlt.edu/~nrhh and to the “Write OTM” link. All categories are self-explanatory, except for Spotlight, which is just anything that doesn’t fit into any of the other categories.

The most important thing about writing an OTM is that it is detailed and concise. Explain everything that they did during the month, in complete sentences, and include as much detail as possible. If you send in an OTM, get nominated, or win, you’re invited to an OTM banquet every 2 months (the next one is an ice cream social). Any OTM that wins is sent to a regional system (PACURH) where OTMS are voted on in a regional level. If you win on a regional level, you’re voted on a National Program. Alex challenges everyone here to write an OTM. Finally, at the end of the year, OTY’s (Of the Year awards) are presented. Oh, here’s an explanation of what NRHH is: NRHH (National Residence Hall Honorary) is a nationally recognized organization that represents the top 1% of student leaders.

XI. General Council Discussion

Anondah: Is there any way that extra Tunnel of Oppression posters for the AS office? We have lots…

Nancy: Program evaluations are for LGA’s as well.

Michelle: Due to copywrite stuff, “Nightmare before Christmas” shouldn’t be advertised—but since the party is in a small room with limited people, then there shouldn’t be a problem.

Milo: A resident was killed in an accident over the weekend with 2 people riding with her in critical condition, but there was a huge turnout for the candlelight vigil. Canyon will plant a tree for a memorial for her and would like RHA support for the memorial.

Canyon would like to note that they have made additions to the website.

Next week, Canyon will vote to set up a program for having allowing people to play instruments during a program-a programmed jam session, so to speak.

Adrianne: Were flowers sent? Yes, apparently.

Anondah: Would it be inappropriate for RHA to send flowers to the 2 people in critical condition? Nothing against it, so we allocated $99 for the flowers. Nancy moves into discussion, Brit seconds. $99 was allocated.

Afterward, motion was made to adjourn.

XII. Announcements

Skipped, due to adjournment.

Present: Anondah, Aaron, Billie, Kenny, Michelle, Terri, Milo, Ellen, Adrianne, Megan, Carri, Alex, Nancy, Brittany, Nicole, Jonathan.

Not Present: Laurence, Ethan, Adam, Manor Chair

During roll call, we played a game where things about the people in council in the first roll call were mentioned and we had to guess who this belonged to. People who got answers right got candy. (Kenny was disqualified because he also wrote down the things that Anondah had said). Winners got candy.

IV. Approval of Minutes

Vote: Minutes Approved.

V. General Forum

A. John Cappacio (who will henceforth be referred to as “JC”): Couple of things from our Director of Housing.

JC has given Anondah a copy of the budget reserve policy. A reserve must be held for emergencies (CSU Policy), among other reasons. JC wants RHA involved in this process of making this budget, which will be on our agenda next year. Also, this budget has to do with the maintenance plan, which includes any remodels (such as the remodel of the housing office). RHA is a part of this plan, and RHA will be given an opportunity to give ideas for future remodels. Also, there has been recent talk about building new dorms for campus. The process: to start, where would they be built. Is there space on campus, or will a new area need to be purchased. So far, apartment-style halls are what’s being built today (as opposed to the traditional dorms like Hill), so this will be an apartment-style housing (i.e.-Creekview), with 400 people. Next, the State of California must float the bond. To do this, a full study must be submitted, and a commitment to follow through with the plans must be proven.

Milo asked what if housing has a shortfall after building the new dorms (although we have a surplus this year, there was a shortage last year). Would this increase housing costs? This process is a 4-year process.

If we do get approval, it must go first to a housing committee and then to CSU Board of Trustees. Housing will be talking into much detail later. The Student Satisfaction Survey will be coming up soon, which we can put questions on. Lastly, there are some issues out there. Currently, housing is looking into trends and our recruitment has been better this year then in previous years. To accommodate the new students, the number on the books is 33% of returners. However, with the sudden influx of new students, they may have to reduce and enforce this quota. Among things, the system for getting off-campus housing may need to be improved. As for increases in housing rates, in the case of a shortfall, this is why housing has a reserve fund. JC wants to keep rates down, but things do happen. Also, with the new dorms, certain policies might change (i.e.-family units may be available).

VI. Table Requests and Appointments

None.

VII. Executive Board Reports

A. President-MWHD: There will be no meeting the Monday after PACRUH (November 13th). Discussion of how we will deal with this will come early. MWHD means, “Meeting with Housing Director” (JC), which Anondah will do tomorrow. Any questions, please write down and give to Anondah

B. Vice President-LAB: LAB meeting forthcoming, as Aaron has only heard from 1 Vice Chair. Haunted JGC next Tuesday.

C. Secretary-BOA/Dinning Committee: Met with dinning committee-which was only me and Ron, the Dinning director. Went over several things, which are written up in my report on the meeting. Want more members, so if anyone’s interested, contact me. BOA meets this Thursday at 6PM in the Klamath River Room-all the council secretaries have already been informed. Also, I’d like to remind everyone to fill out your report sheets-a few people didn’t turn in theirs last week.

D. Treasurer-BOF: BOF met last Thursday. Billie still needs Hill’s budget, the E-mail Address to Hill’s Treasurer, Canyon’s Budget. BOF will meet this Friday at 4 PM in the Klamath River Room, where they will be discussion finals packs.

E. NCC: From the hands of the NCC comes…no report.

VIII. Representatives and Committee Reports

A. RPB: Haunted JGC-Tuesday, October 31st all over the J. They’ll be carnival booth on the bottom floor and a dance with music. Also planning a formal dance in either November or December. The November 1st Meeting is apparently either going to be cancelled or moved, as Expressions of Oppression is using that room. Finally, RPB needs a Campus Diplomat and a Decorating Chair.

B. ROBOT: Possibility of a ROBOT radio station, which could be beyond ROBOT. Also chose video games for bottom of the J. Between Jedi and Borg, Jedi would prevail (Side note: Resistance is Futile, but the Force works in mysterious ways). Apparently ROBOT will conquer RHA…or has ROBOT already conquered RHA? (Another Side Note: I wonder who’ll actually get that?)

C. ROCC/Diversity Advocate: ROCC budget is updated and they went to queer community reception. Also, Expressions of Oppression is on November 1st.

D. ResLife: When…will…they…COME?!?!?!?!?!?!?

E. NRHH: OTM Dinner was on Sunday. The event was yummy. And Kuddles 4 Kids will be on October 22nd.

F. Creekview: Created a committee for a Halloween Party and would like to have a Karaoke Night.

G. Canyon: Currently, Canyon and Hill are working together for their Haunted JGC room. Also, $100 allocated for Nancy’s Sex Jeopardy Program. In discussion for an announcement box in the Canyon Gazebo.

H. Hill: Currently, Hill and Canyon are working together for their Haunted JGC room. Committee is working on ideas. Also, their RPB rep resigned, so they’re currently looking for a new one.

I. Cypress: There will be a discussion on Proposition 85 at 6-7 and 7-11 in the Multicultural on October 19th. Plus, a committee was formed to do planning for the Haunted JGC.

J. Manor: Hiding in their little apartments far away from us…

K. AS: No report because…there was no meeting! HIGH FIVE!

L. UC Board of Directors (n/v): Talked about Health Insurance, so there was talk on if to raise the cost, or find other means of compensation and saw presentations for Dinning.

M. Alcohol and other Drugs (n/v): Have not met.

N. Student Health Advisory (n/v): Not Filled at this moment.

O. Rec Center (n/v): Haven’t met yet.

P. University Space and Facilities (n/v): Still not open. Again: Campus Apartments is being bought by the school, but this is put through USaF.

Q. Publicist (n/v): We need someone! Hey-you reading the minutes! You know you want to be our publicist…

R. RHA/AS Bonding: Hi, it’s the RHA/AS bonding committee-which has nothing to report.

S. Advisor (n/v): Tunnel of Oppression, Nov. 2. Vincent, who had the Drunk program tabling, got the message that they got dinner, so they’re putting that together. Currently, the website is being worked on. Finally exhaust your budget!

IX. Old Business

This line is getting old, but there’s no old business.

X. New Business

A. NAKED (Committee?)

Sarah and Susan asked if they could turn NAKED for mental health to a committee. There isn’t a whole lot of mental health advocacy and there is nothing on campus doing this, so they wanted to make a committee to address mental health and learning disabilities. So far, psychological services have done little in the form of both mental health advocacy and screening.

Alex (comment): There is a student with disabilities committee, but they are 9 administrator to 2 students, meaning that there is little involvement and little being done to address these issues.

Nancy moves into discussion, Adrianne seconds.

Aaron: To make this a committee for the year, we could motion to do that, but if we wanted to make this a permanent committee, we would have to change the RHA constitution.

Milo: Likes the idea, agrees with these issues and would like to see expanded testing for ADD. Biggest concern is with acronym, since hearing a committee called NAKED, people generally don’t think “mental health advocacy.” (Side note: Anondah asked that if we make this a committee today, would we have to vote for the name change? Matt responds with we wouldn’t-we can vote on the committee without finalizing a name)

Alex: If we were to push this, it would do wonders both for the legitimacy to both RHA and to the committee, which could lead to a Mental Health Advocacy committee in AS. At this moment, student leadership needs a sense of credibility.

Nancy: Supports this committee. Dealing with mental health issues, whether temporary or permanent, is an issue. For an example, the low testing of learning disabilities can potentially hold many students with learning disabilities, such as ADD.

Once discussion was ended, committee was voted on-15 for and 1 abstention. Motion passes, committee formed.

(Reminder: NAKED for mental health meets on Sundays at 7 PM in Moonstone.)

B. Musical Instrument Policy Committee

This was discussed last week. Milo did bring Cleo Corley (LGA-Madrone) to head the committee and present to RHA. One of the ideas that was presented was a “Jam Hour.”

Adrianne moves into discussion, Nicole seconds.

Alex: Thinks this is a great idea, but isn’t sure if he agrees with changing the music policy. However, it’s important that we look and review housing policy.

Anondah: Can Cleo make the RHA meetings? (Side note: Milo can proxy for Cleo and retain his voting position as Canyon chair, as the committee chair is a non-voting position). Motion passes.

C. University Budget Crisis

i. Update from Anondah: Went to a CSSA conference to talk to them about budget crisis (we are one of only 2 schools getting it badly). The money we’re getting is a one-time only. The result is that several classes will be made into large classes (100+ and mostly general ed). AS has released a list of all classes that will be converted as such. Also, school is buying Campus Apartments, leading to the relocation of 200 people, mostly students. Plus, they might be re-locating the people living there who aren’t students. If you want any more information, contact Anondah.

Milo moves to table this to next meeting for further discussion, Jonathan seconds. 12 for, 4 opposed, no abstentions.

ii. Committee?: This has also been tabled.

D. Resolution in opposition of Large Class Sizes

It’s already a go, so do we go ahead with our resolution? AS is already giving up and it may be better to push things that we can stop instead of trying to stop something we can’t. Discussion:

Brittany: Can we attempt to stop this next year? The problem with waiting until then is that this move could become permanent.

Nancy: At this point, we should be trying to push other issues, such as school quotas, since we can’t do anything about the classes at this point.

Milo: This should be in the committee discussion, but this should be tabled indefinitely since we can’t do anything at this moment.

Alex: It’s important that, even if we can’t stop the large classes, to at least let them know how we feel about this. Also, we should encourage AS to continue their resolution, just to be sure our opposition is known. In an informal poll, we would like to continue the resolution for next week.

Nancy: Is this going to be separate to Budget Crisis committee or a part of the budget crisis committee?

Matt: This is important, but there isn’t anyone on this campus that believes that these cuts are good. Also, tabling indefinitely could mean it never comes up again.

Milo: This resolution is important, but we don’t need a separate committee. We can have the Budget Crisis committee do this, as these issues are a part of this.

XI. General Council Discussion

Milo: Has already lost Secretary and may lose Treasurer because of the Tuesday time. Wants to change what day Canyon Council meets. Also, don’t have anything in the budget, except for a single allocation. Canyon Council can change meeting days, as long as the council and the RLC (Paul) are okay with it. However, be aware of when other councils (Satellite and RHA) meet.

XII. Announcements

Alex: DDR League: Thursdays at 7-9, alternating between bottom of J and Creekside Lounge (this week will be in Creekside Lounge). Information Desk Video Games will be available soon, but shipment late.

Michelle: E-mailed all presidents to pick up Binders and CD’s at RHA office.

Aaron: RPB put aside $50 for each area for Haunted…oh wait, that’s double dipping. Danger, Will Robinson, danger!

Kenny: I want your Program Evaluations! Arrrrrr!

Anondah: Will be re-making the President’s CD’s. Any documents that you want to be added to CD’s, contact Anondah.

Nancy: If you’re interested in helping out for Tunnel of Oppression, please contact Nancy.

XIII. Adjournment

Milo moved to adjourn, several people seconded. Discussion: none (but I’m pretty sure everyone was thinking, “it’s a good idea,” or “let’s go home.”) At any rate, the meeting was adjourned at 7:17 PM.

Not Present: Manor Chair.

Not present but had proxy: Brittany (proxy-Aaron)

Absence policy: If you are going to be absent, you must send a proxy. If you mess more then two meetings in a semester without sending a proxy, you are stripped from your position.

Committees do not have voting rights, Boards have 1 vote and Council’s have 2.

Also, the reps are the voices for their councils. Chairs do not speak during reports-only the reps can speak for the council.

III. Approval of Agenda

Milo moves to approve agenda, Adrianne seconds. Passes, with 2 abstentions.

IV. Approval of Minutes

Adrianne moves to discuss, Ethan seconds.

Kenny points out that there were several changes made to the minutes that are posted as opposed to the minutes that were E-mailed. Most notable was that the original draft had incorrectly listed Creekview Council as getting the Klamath River Room for the Haunted JGC, when Cypress Council was given the Klamath Room. In addition, several small changes were made (the side note concerning being on time was re-worded, Tunnel of Oppression was explained, one spelling change was made).

(Side note: There was a tangent debate on getting the rooms for the Haunted JGC. Milo thought it wasn’t fair that Canyon didn’t get Klamath, but Aaron wanted to clarify that it was announced in RPB and the information concerning the Haunted JGC was given to all reps. Discussion continued, until Alex moved to exhaust speakers list, Adrianne seconds. 1 opposed, 3 abstain.

V. General Forum

None.

VI. Table Requests and Appointments

A. Associated Students-Oct 10th-13th Wants to appoint people to AS and wants to use tabling J to advertise. Adrianne moves to discussion, Nancy 2nd.

Milo calls to question

Vote passes, with 1 abstention.

Laurence moves into discussion, Jonathan seconds.

Michelle: Asks if they’re tabling just for discussion, which they are.

Milo: Wants to include a petition for trying to get more local/organic food in the J.

Kenny: Has already spoken to Ajay about bringing this up in Dining Committee (which meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 3:15).

Vote on tabling passes, with 1 abstention.

C. Alcohol Screening Oct 17th and 19th lunch.

An educational program where you wear the drunk goggles and attempt to drive RC cars, coinciding with Alcohol Awareness Week.

Milo moves to discuss, Nancy seconds.

Milo: Thinks it sounds interesting, but wants this to be moved to dinner as well as lunch, citing that there are more people at dinner then lunch. Unfortunately, the people putting on this program (UPD) aren’t able to make this meeting, so that they can’t be around to make changes.

Anondah: They may not come for dinner, because may have only given the times they are available.

Ellen: Agrees with moving this to dinner.

Nancy: Asks what days of the week these are (Tues, Thurs)

Alex: Can we approve for lunch, but include that they are approved for dinner as well.

Milo: Would like to amend to include both lunch and dinner. Alex seconds.

Discussion now on the Amendment.

Nancy: Is willing to talk to Mira or Vincent to see if they can amend.

Aaron: both lunch and dinner are free.

Vote on Amendment is made to end discussion and go straight to a vote. On this vote, there was 1 abstention, thus allowing the amendment to include being able to table for dinner.

Next Vote- (on the tabling request, with the above amendment). Tabling passes, 1 Abstention.

VII. Executive Board Reports

Would like to meet all the presidents, so would like all presidents to E-mail times available for Friday-next Friday, that is.

B. Vice President: Will be scheduling a LAB meeting, but need other VP schedules by Thursday at 2 PM.

D. ResLife: Still no ResLife Rep. And no proxy.

E. NRHH: Kuddles 4 Kids tentatively planned for October 22. Some of the Teddy Bears will be sent to PACURH. OTM winners decided and OTM dinner is going to be on Oct. 15.

F. Creekview: Blurted out an idea for their Haunted JGC, but shouldn’t have (so thus, it won’t be re-printed here)

G. Canyon: Committees formed. Secretary resigned, while an RHA rep was elected.

H. Hill: Sending a rep to Canyon about sharing a room for Haunted JGC. Currently have 2 activities: Kitchen Appliances (who, among their goals include getting a blender for the Hill kitchens) and Musical Instruments (for revising the Musical Instrument Policy). Also talking about Budget and how to split it up.

I. Cypress: Continued on Budgeting and passed it. Also wants to change the constitution so that any Cypress resident can attend a meeting and vote, instead of just residents that attend 2 consecutive meetings (editorial side note: Cypress is the only Area Council with this restriction). Also, brainstormed ideas for Haunted JGC.

J. Manor: Ice cream social on October 26th at 7 Pm in Apartment 1720 A. Come and Gate Crash!

K. AS: A lot of things are going on, but they reiterate need to fill committees. Plus working on that bonding event.

L. (2) UC Board of Directors (n/v): Meeting on Wednesday. Michelle was appointed to Rec Center.

M. Alcohol and other Drugs (n/v): Nancy appointed. Already talked to Mira and got a grant so that a taxi service can run between Eureka/Arcata.

Q. Publicist (n/v): Still need someone…

R. RHA/AS Bonding event: Michelle volunteered (I forgot to put that in last meeting), who will get on it.

S. Advisor (n/v): Dialogue on Race is starting up, with a lot of programs for that. Budget: in addition to BOF, all Treasurers should talk to their advisor. Hosing is doing a study on building new housing (2008 is the most ridiculously optimistic date). There’s still a waiting list for housing. If interested, there’s an E-mail address. Residence Satisfaction Survey will go out in a few weeks-4 questions deal directly with RHA (Matt will E-mail questions). If you want to see the results from other years, Matt has it. There’s a section on the Royal Flush for RHA events. Also, operations can post things on the Royal Flush website. Finally, as advisor, we should, as a group, figure out what we want to be.

Milo: How often does the Flush publish and how long do you need to get things to Kenny before events posted? First question: every two weeks (aprox). Second: to get stuff on the website, just contact a website. For the paper copy, a week in advance.

IX. Old Business

No Old Business

X. New Business

No New Business

XI. General Council Discussion

Aaron: First, for the Hill: Make some questions for the bottom of the J for getting blenders. Two, there’s been plans of turning Van Duzer into a classroom, turning lower level classes into 200 people classes.

Anondah: AS has drafted a resolution opposing this action, but the proposal was voted down, on the grounds that the resolution wasn’t strong enough, sending them to revise the resolution. We can make a committee to draft our own resolution against these plans. This resolution could be sent, alongside AS’s revised resolution, to make both stronger.

Nancy: There has to be a Parli Pro cheat sheet, so that we can take a glance at what we’re doing (side note: I have a few that I’ll bring in)

Alex: OTM Winners: Cypress Council won Spotlight for the MNF program.

Jonathan: ROBOT is not going to be a part of the Haunted JGC, because all they can get is the Computer room (blue screen of death…heh, no one gets that).

Ethan: How do we get a room for the Haunted JGC? Talk to your RPB rep.

Milo: Point of Clarifications should be preserved. At the same time, both Canyon and Hill are drafting resolutions for a change in the musical instrument policy, so a proposal was created for a RHA committee to be formed to revise the Musical Instrument policy. The formation of this committee will be on next week’s agenda.

Matt: The current policy about musical instruments was created by RHA years ago, so should RHA change it…

XII. Announcements

Nancy: Tunnel of Oppression is coming. E-mail Nancy or BJ if you want to help with Tunnel. Also putting on a program: Sex Jeopardy!

Kenny: Need to meet with people for E-mail list.

Anondah: Will be attending Canyon Council this week. Cypress next.

Alex: Finalizing the list for the games to be bought with the $1000.

XIII. Adjournment

Nancy motioned to adjourn, along with most of the rest of the people at the meeting, with Ethan seconding. Meeting adjourned at 7:02. OAACS flood room afterward.
