> The president, the publicist, all four LGAs and myself were on time to the meeting. Our vice president could not make it (Stan, we missed you!) and our council advisor showed up shortly after the meeting was called to order (Side Note: It is not such a good idea to start a council meeting with so many hyper, easily distracted people in one room without guidance).

- Announcements!

> Our president actually attended a meeting for one of the satellite councils! (cue applause) Announcements from the RHA meeting he attended included overviews of discussions about closing the door on the Cypress side of the J Dining Commons to save energy and also to move some of the smoking areas on campus to areas farther away from the dorms and main walkways. If you disagree with either of these issues, like a few other members of the council did, attend an RHA meeting and voice your opinion.

> Also, RHA week is set to happen from April 6th to the 12th.

> We finally had candidates show up for the treasurer position during this week’s meeting! Our two contenders for the treasurer-ship: Nathaniel P. Meyer and Max A. Zellman. Both had valuable attributes that they could contribute to the council, but in the end, it was a promise to be the rep for two satellite councils that won the election. Congratulations and welcome to our new treasurer and RPB rep, Max A. Zellman!

> The Olympics (“That’s like four years from now.” – Max) of the ridiculous variety are shaping up to pretty awesome event for RHA week. Jordan, the head of the committee for the Ridiculous Olympics, quickly got to work pairing people with events. Each person assigned to an event must return to the following meeting (which is 2 weeks from now because Sexland is next Tuesday) with rules for their respective events. It was also decided that the Olympics should take place around 6pm on a Wednesday or Thursday during RHA week.

> Sexland is mere days away! (Tuesday, Feb. 26th, if any of you forgot.) We are still in need of man power, especially for set up and take down. If you would like to volunteer and can manage to rope a few friends in as well, show up any time between four and midnight at the KBR and we will assign you a job. (Side Note: If you are planning to help at the very beginning, we will be meeting at Dottie’s and my suite (Cypress East 4230-9 or the one on the second floor of Cypress East with a calendar in the window) at 4pm

> Sexland is fast approaching and things are starting to fall into place. Money was saved on the supplies for the safer sex kits and pricing was done for prizes for the games. However, even with all this progress being made, help is still needed. We are in need of more people to help set up, take down, man each corner and run the games. Please come to the meeting mentioned in the announcements above if you are interested in helping out. We also need everyone’s help to get the word out. Tell a friend to tell a friend and so on. We want to get people from off-campus to attend this program, too.

> As stated in last week’s minutes, we decided on the Ridiculous Olympics as our RHA week idea. This meeting was spent brainstorming events for the Olympics. Some of the ideas we have so far: cartwheel race, backwards spelling bee, handless grape transfer, mime contest, find the penny in Cypress Lawn/JGC, spin till you fall (or puke), fastest shoe tying, and a few other crackpot ideas. There will be 10 events with 10 minutes spent on each. We have set up a committee to make sure each event is prepared by the time RHA week rolls around. Jordan has decided to head up this committee.
