E. NCC
Went to PACURH, it was fun with business meetings that lasted all day. Everyone had fun! We dressed in bed sheets for roll call.
VII. Representative & Committee Reports
A. RPB (Janine proxies): HI! Clothing drive is happening from Dec.9th until the end of the semester. It’s going to be a contest, but we haven’t allocated money yet, because we want to be fair with how much food everyone can get. ResNews is up and running. Moonstone, 3:30p.m. on Fridays. If you’re interested in being cast or submitting a skit, go to the committee and check it out. We gave Creekview money for a pre-finals/end of semester dance. Check with Creekview for the dates.
B. ROBOT (Micaela proxies): Talked about what we could do as a program before the end of the semester, e.g. a “Childs’ Play” charity event or using the one free day that we get for the arcade/pool games. Also, Ravin and Alex (prez & last year’s prez, or Poobahs) got married.
C. ROCC: Expressions of Oppression went well! We had a good turnout, and food went quickly.
D. NAKED: Didn’t meet. We have a program this upcoming Sunday, a showing of “Sicko” in the bottom of the J. “Sicko” deals with problems with the American healthcare system. There will be a raffle at the end of the program to win a care package. Free food and discussion afterwards.
E. ResLife: The Friday before fall break, we put on a Reslife scavenger hunt for staff members. It was fun, there were cool prizes, and we ate leftover Chinese food.
F. NRHH: We did OTM nominations last time, and will be doing inductions tonight. Our induction ceremony/dinner is coming up.
G. Creekview: (Whose quarter sheets I always love to get ^^) Working on having a study place for finals week, a finals’ dance/rave thing with money we got from RPB. We played games.
H. Canyon (Nancy kind of proxies): I didn’t go to Canyon council. They had a bbq over the Veterans’ Day 3-day-weekend which went well, but there was a bunch of food leftover due to last-minute advertisement.
I. Hill: We had an ice cream social.
J. Cypress: We’re getting t-shirts…nothing aside from that.
K. Manor: (no quarter sheet received…I’m assuming it’s still standing)
L. AS : Janine’s still getting nagged about an AS appointment, but James is the one who’s supposed to write the appointment letter. He’ll do it soon.
M. UC Board of Directors: We’re meeting next week…and having a banquet in Windows’ Café.
N. Alcohol and other drug: Nancy didn’t go, but she has the minutes and volunteered to be the rep. People introduced themselves and their role on campus. Discussed ADAPT (the former name for AOD) and its purposes, and talked about conducting a survey of students regarding their ideas and use of alcohol and other drugs as a follow-up to one that was done a couple years ago. Also talked about the designated driver wristbands, and they now have new ones with the “option b” part included. Next mtg Friday, December 7th at 4p.m.
O. SHAC – nothing for either…
P. Rec Center - no mtg this semester; everyone’s schedule is poop (Janine)
Q. Dining Committee: Passed around a pamphlet Ron gave to me about the Eel River Organic Beef we’re now using. A Cupboard napkin board is going to be installed over Winter break. Dec.9th=end of semester buffet with Prime rib, etc. Discussed how the J is trying to have a neutral “winter” theme, to accommodate all religions. Trying to figure out how to get more people in there, because of how much we had at the Thanksgiving feast. December 10th is the pancake dinner. Get served free pancakes by staff! 8-10p.m. Also discussed Green Campus working with Dining on various energy-saving projects.
R. Publicists – Micaela: website’s done!! Happiness. The address for now is hsurha.blogspot.com and I’m wondering if councils would be getting their own authorship. In that case, a web training event would be needed. Missing description pages for Creekview, Cypress, Hill, Manor, NRHH, RHA, and ROCC.
Lynn: I now have stuff to do!! Making advertisements for World AIDS Day, 12/2/07 at 7p.m. with free food and the movie “It’s My Party.”
S. Advisor –Nick’s still looking for black dye. The room move fair is this week. (I also love his quarter-sheet. Nick=awesomeness. I’d give him black hairdye if I had it.)
VIII. Old Business
a. Movie for World AIDS Day
What did we want to do with it? What day? Food?
Do it on World AIDS day (this Saturday), bottom of the J, showing “It’s My Party.” James: 7pm-ish? Put a poster up on the third floor of the J. Popcorn? That’s been done before. Lynn: cheesecake? That would be done later that night. Janine suggests popcorn and some finger foods (cookies, brownies), water, chips&dip, crackers, cheese. James: can we collect donations? Nick: there’s a long process where we have to keep track of every single penny and everything…so James decides we won’t do donation stuff. Hopefully next time we’ll be able to get stuff together better. How much do we allocate for food? $75 is a good number (Janine: and it’s divisible by 5, which is nice.) Janine motions, Ryan seconds to approve 75 to be allocated for food. 8 in favor, 0 opposed, 3 abstaining.
This Saturday, 7pm, bottom of the J. Come support, yo.
IX. New Business
a. MTV thing (Jannah)
We were emailed by MTV, asking for stories about peer pressure for students between the ages of 16-25. Janine said she’d put it in the flush.
X. General Discussion
Riddle time! First Jannah shares one, then Janine gives the answer to Sarah’s one, then James shows one.
If your event was nominated for an OTM award and you have pictures, please send them to rha@humboldt.edu pleeeeeease 
Lynn: Did we win the PETA thing? Porchee: I think we won 2nd place. Nicole: go online and check.
XI. Announcements
XI. Adjournment
Ryan motions, Tiffanie seconds, Nancy thirds…?
Acclimation? Porchee and Lynn dissent, BOO.
9 in favor, 3 opposing, 1 abstention. Meeting adjourned.
