1. Programs
a. Casino Night Wrap-up
Thank you to all the dealers! You were all amazing and
lifesavers!! We had a great turn out, like 250 people. Sam
would love some feedback because we put on this same
program in the Spring Semester. He got some feedback during
the meeting but if you would like to add anything else shoot
him an email shenry@uccs.edu. Kahea suggested that there
should be some kind of limit where people cannot sit at the
same table the entire night. Also, she would like to see more
prizes. Aaron added the idea of a price limit on the tables so
that everyone can play. Nelly suggested that the dealers get to
meet like the day before so that they can learn all the ins and
outs of dealing. She would have liked to known what a
winning hand looked like before she was put on as a dealer.
Someone had the idea that we play a round with all the dealers
and let everyone deal, to get a feel for what the game is like.
b. Clyde’s Event
Once again this is going to be October 5th and we are planning
on having a small get together with the residents to play board
games and maybe have a pool tournament. We are planning on
it being a smaller event.
c. Mr. UCCS
There are boxes in the Monarch and Roar Offices. Catherine
suggested putting one in Crestone, so there will be one there
too. If you know any guy that would be interested in
participating in a male pageant or you just want to nominate a
guy that you think would do well in the pageant, nominate
them to be the next “Mr. UCCS.”
2. Programming Committee
There will not be a meeting this week.
ii. Exec Admin
Tally
1. Budget
We discussed the budget. Lots of questions were asked about what the
events on the budget are. To start, midterm mind spas is where we put
on a program to relieve some stress during the week of midterms; there
is poker, stress ball making and other games. Holiday Hunnies is
another name we came up with for Secret Santa. Kahea asked if we
could sponsor the RAs to put on this event for each of their floors to
make it more successful. This discussion was moved to the
programming committee meeting where the logistics of the program
can be more appropriately considered. Broomball is an event where
we use sticks to push a ball around on ice, it’s a lot of fun and there are
lots of prizes. Miss UCCS has less money allocated towards it than
Mr. UCCS because OSA is much more a part of this event and they
take care of more of the expenses. Tunnel of Oppression is an event to
bring diversity to the campus, different clubs are in charge of coming
up with different issues to inform the residents about what’s going on
around them. Sock Assassinations is a village wide game where you
sign up to play and then we mix all the names up and give each person
a different person’s name. Then have to assonate that person, their
target, by hitting them with a sock. Then they take their target’s target,
as their own new target, and the last one’s left with the most
assassinations wins! Lastly, the money for the RHA campaign has
been set aside to be used to promote RHA on campus. We are looking
for ideas on how to best do that, like lanyards and such.
2. Legislation
We have two pieces of legislation that need LA (legislative assembly)
approval. The first called Budget and Proposal Approval, states, whereas, the
RHA Constitution does not state a clear timeline for when proposals submitted
to the RHAEB can be approved by the RHALA and whereas, without an
approved budget, it is difficult and unwise to determine the amount of money
RHA can pay out to persons submitting RHALA Proposals. Therefore, be it
resolved that, Article I, Section 8. Powers of the RHAEB be amended to
include, RHALA Proposals submitted to the RHAEB will not be reviewed
until the budget has been prepared by the RHAEB and approved by the
RHALA. Passes 8-0-3
The second piece of legislation called RHALA Proposal Submission, states,
whereas, the RHA Program Proposals form and the RHA Constitution are not
consistent with the timeline to submit RHALA Proposals and Whereas, the
Program Proposal from has a more accurate and necessary amount of time
needed to review and approve the RHALA Proposals. Therefore, be it
resolved that, Article I, Section 6. Powers of the RHALA be amended to
include, each RHALA Proposal must be submitted to the RHAEB at least two
weeks prior to the date of the event on the Proposal in order to receive
money/services requested from RHA. Passes 8-0-3
3. Fundraising Committee
There has still not been a lot of feedback as to when people can meet
but we really need to start making money so the first meeting will be
Tuesday, September 21, 2010 at 5pm in the RHA office, Keystone
3211. If you have a conflict with this time please contact Tally and we
will figure out a new time to hold the meeting.
iii. National Communications Coordinator (NCC)
Emily
1. IACURH Conference
IACURH is November 11th to the 14th. We really need to start on the
banner and display to take to IACURH. The theme this year is “Lead a
Route, Leave a Legacy.” The display and banner can be anything you
want it to be, pictures, words, or both. Be creative!!! Applications to
be a delegate and go with us to Montana State University-Bozeman are
due October 4th and contact Emily if you still need one.
2. OTM’s
Of The Months need to be submitted every month. All you have to do
is write a report under 700 words about something you think should
be recognized. Some examples include, program of the month, RA of
the month, student of the month, exec member of the month, etc. We
need help submitting them, if you would like more information about
how you can help, email Emily.
iv. President
Trey
1. Advocacy Meeting’
The advocacy meeting will be this Thursday at 2pm in the RHA office,
Keystone 3211.
2. Program Proposal
We have a program proposal from Paul Wood. He will be putting on a
village wide football tournament with an emphasis on the teams being
co-recreational. He is asking for 100 dollars for prizes to award the
top winning teams. The prizes are also initiative for the teams to play
and actually put some effort into it. The event will take place this
Saturday at 2pm on the West Lawn, if it is open. If it is unavailable it
will take place on the turf. He could not get flags for flag football so it
will be two-hand-touch football. He is planning on only letting the
games go on for 10 to 15 minutes each so that everyone who wants to
play can. Only five people per team will be allowed to play, if you
want to rotate people then you can have more people on your team. If
someone does not have a team they can still come and teams will be
made on the field.
3. Turtleneck
He now has a turtleneck, thank you Aaron. He is giving turtleneck to
Paul because he is putting on a cool football program.
