-    So basically $16 a year added onto your tuition
-    $12,000 a years
-    We’d want students to vote on what to do with the money
-    UF has passed it with 70% approval rating
-    Fee wouldn’t go into affect next year, probably happen in the 2008-2009 acedemic year
-    Max Feretti: how can we ensure that we’ll actually get to decide where this money goes? It would suck if it just went into the system

-    Sam Greenspan: “Will this act as an initiative to do something other than just get funds started”
-    Amy: remains to see what problems would be possible a
-    David Banks: You can retrofit a golf cart to be solar powered for less than 500
-    Genevieve Luikart: This is to start New College conserving, and this money would go towards what we can’t purchase right away. Putting money to things like renewable energy credits. You’re money is an investment that the school will use to save money and put money back into the school.

-    Annemarie: “Maybe the law can be more equitable”
-    Lucia:”Why does the CAA have less money?”
-    Melissa: “ I can’t answer that right now, but SAC allocation by definition need to benefit a larger portion of the student body, and the CAA benefits individual projects. We’re trying to increase the diffusion of helping the NCF community.”

-    45 in favor of motion, 29 opposed. Motion passes

PCP Discussion!!!!!
-    David encourages people to talk in future terms
-    David limits ind. Discussions to 2 minutes, passes
-    Calder: “I wanted to come up here and clear the air… I would like to apologize for how divisive this PCP was, it was not my intention at all, I’m sorry… I’ll explain what my intentions were: I proposed joke theme of flooding Palm Court… and irony got out of hand this time.
-    Enacted it to the best of his ability (or student court)
-    Researched as many options as possible, Styrofoam blocks, mist machines, jello, packing peanuts, balloons, “Thank god we didn’t so packing peanuts”
-    Packing peanuts would have killed birds
-    “Thought at the time: Would be easiest to keep track of, cost effective, most flood like”
-    Wanted to make PCP anything other than a trippy party
-    Wanted it to be a surprise
-    We tested golf carts and bikes
-    Worked with police, Res Life, SA
-    Pushed date back to discourage sketchy Townies, and lowered security, less clean up for maintenance, etc
-    None of the beach balls made it into the bay, some made into across and into highway [Later in discussion several students reports sitings of beach balls crossing 41. Calder admits that they did cross 41 and collected by porter potties used y USF]
-    None of the beach balls made it into the airport
-    The itinerary was a tentative one for the SAC’s eyes only
-    Compares cost of food, bands, and speakers to the cost of his PCP
-    My point is: I thought PCP was a huge success, the night we filled up the beach balls was spectacular, people taking pictures, listening to cake and eating cake in the balls
-    Calder:“Is Faith Lobdell here. I want to give you a hug.”
-    Question: Did you buy a sound ordinance?
-    Calder: No
-    Jordan: Did you blow up all the beach balls?
-    No, we’re going to get refunded for some stuff… [gives explanation]
-    Lucia: When I asked why they were being destroyed, and I was told that the airport called…
-    Calder: 30 mile gusts of wind were going to put more on the highway and in the airport. I had to call the schools and organizations and tell them that they weren’t getting the balls.
-    Student: What happened to the Floodlight sphere?
-    [Goes through process of ordered things through Student Affairs] which made them cut some things, cause it made ordering impossible
-    Christian Pillsbury: Are you single, and if so, what do you look for in a partner? [Not answered]
-    I wanted to throw an event unlike anything that has ever been seen on any campus
-    “I tried to flood palm court”

PCP Discussion
-    Robert Byla: I think the whole surprise deal backfired. I remember some incredible PCPs from my first year. The future should have organizers working hard to create an air of excitement, not confusion. The organizer needs to get students riled up for the parties… I urge organizers to work in advance, not use surprise, create an atmosphere that makes people wanna party.

-    Lisa Avron: “I’m disappointed in New College. At least Calder had an idea. Motions: For PCP planner as an NCSA position, they work way way in advance +  we vote on PCPs like we vote for SAC, a table in the cafeteria.

o    If it’s better organized, PCP can be better and please everyone.

-    Bebib Nun: “Centralized theme around this shenanigan, is people wanting to get rid of PCP. But once you give up a freedom, and it is a freedom, it’s very very difficult to get it back. Keep in mind bigger implications of canceling PCPs. In the future I would like to see PCP. I want to motion that however the PCP is being voted for, being very well advertised.
-    Student: “I like PCP being that trippy party. Because PCP is the trippy party tradition. The advertising is especially important for people who live off campus.
-    Spencer: “I love PCP, I think it’s a wonderful tradition. A lot of you like to trip apparently, that’s the impression I get. Maybe here there are a hundred and fifty people. 35% of students live off campus, I make it a point to come on campus once a week to have fun or whatever. We don’t have a lot of varied interest, one night when people can descend on their school and have a lot of fun. [Tells ppl about terrible first PCP] We’re gonna have a great graduation PCP! [Cheering]
-    Sarah Cassidy: I have a suggestion, which I sent to the forum. A lot of the controversy is due to that bad Valentines PCP. Maybe we should have a College Hall Party. We could reserve that space years ahead, remove the danger from the dorms, take it to a space that’s more intimate.
o    What about the noise? …
-    Kiri: Something that bothered me about this PCP, is the lack of chill out room. For the trippy people.
-    Max: I think that there shouldn’t be legislations being made concerning PCP. Maybe we should just make general recommendations concerning large events. Specific legislation (passing a motion with the word PCP) should not be made concerning PCP.
-    Barry: I think Calder was onto something with this PCP. It was just incredible enjoying the beach balls. It changed the whole perception of the community. I’m calling for people to ask themselves “what if” in the future. PCP can be whatever you want it to be.
-    Konnie:  Assigning PCP so far hasn’t been working well. I like the idea of voting for sponsors at the beginning of the year as part of a real election. I think it would help me to work with those people early on. Be careful with all your emotions in voting. Maybe use tonight to make recommendations and continue to have dialogue. Do you have questions? Sarah they’ll never allow alcohol by water. Barry: How’d you describe PCP back in your day?
-    Konnie: A PCP should be a wall x 10.
-    Sarah: How do you make a positive event?
-    Konnie: I don’t know, its hard, you guys are a tough crowd. Having a real committee that’s organized early. It’s all about planning and organization. [Applause]
-    Kerem: We want to have a Towne Meeting in two weeks to have people present and vote on their PCPs.
-    Lisa: I think a ballot would be more fair.
-    Isaac: I think putting this into the government is rash. I motion that we table this. [Seconded]
-    James: I think if we vote whether there are two or three PCPs, incoming first years won’t get to choose.
-    [Tabling is passed]
-    David: Yes Matt?
-    Matt: Sorry, I just forgot to put my arm down.
-    David: Motion to adjourn….

Questions: Where is he? I motion Paolo takes his place. (motioned, and seconded)….? (I guess he got in)

David_____

I’m glad that worked, cause I didn’t have any other plans. First up, changes to the towne meeting. “How to change the towne meeting, and making it more affective” First change, a white board, Agenda will be up (apologized for dancing in Ham) [Irate person screams about couplets and limericks]. Something about the scheduling of the Towne meeting, so that it doesn’t conflict.

Calder_____
Yes, PCP is still happening [booing and cheering]. PCP is not Feb 17th, it’s March 2nd. Apparently it wasn’t circulated It’s happening March Second.

(Question 1: What’s the theme? )

Flooding.

(Q2: Is it still a Valentines day theme?)

No

(Q3: Can it be spring equinox PCP)

[Kali Rainwater: you can have it be that if you like]

Connie_____
Hey you guys, I have some quick announcements. As your student activities person, I’m telling you there’s a lot of activity [cheering]. Alums at the four wind (band), Mommy Dearest Friday night (inflatable giant screen from the Sarasota film Society)- movie theater popcorn machine. Next week big event coming up; booked a national Shakespeare company (wild screams) we just happened to be able to book them, this is huge, Wednesday, and Thursday night in Sudakoff. Wednesday is valentines (clapping). If you need help putting together a date, come see me, I’ll help you. The girl scouts will be here selling cookies Tuesday night at dinner, for the next three Tuesdays (clapping). I am having a baby (cheering), in 5 weeks, after that I wont be here [congratulations shouted from the crowd].

Donita_____
Friday is the deadline for de-tripling. After that time we will let you know if we are offering any Pei singles. Tomorrow is the deadline
Next Friday, the 16th, deadline for changing meal plan.
Construction is on going, I have a report that shows some really cool aerials.
Thanks David.

David_____
OK…
I guess we’ll go into this now. Quick background: Last year we passed a resolution to give a status update on RDs…. The whole crew [cheering].

Paolo M_____
I think a bunch of you are first years so you don’t remember last spring. Last year three new positions were created in student life. As students we wanted to ensure that we could give a constructive [Speak Louder, irate person]. Ben, Marrissa, Isaac, Anthony, and me were the committee. We conducted interviews and surveys to demystify RDs.

Isaac_____
A lot of the things we found weren’t any RDs’s faults. We tried to make them reach out more. Things like surveys and attending student events, so you could utilize them as a resource

Anthony_____
Biggest finding: thinks program does have a place at NC. Recommendations: use the RDs as the bridge to cross that metaphorical bridge: to cross 41. We want to make this program work.

Marissa Krumm_____
Important thing you should take from this, the RD program has a place at New College. It is considered valuable, could be considered more valuable. 150 responses to the survey, mostly first years, which shows who uses them. Got job descriptions to see if people knew what was expected of them.

Ben Brown_____
Biggest recommendation, job descriptions of the RDs need to be better defined by student affairs. Help us keep a stable program that works through the different years, rather than a new thing every year. They need to reach out, and involve students more. We think it’s important that the academics and the student side of campus are bridged. Finally we had  a technical, recommendation according to RA Selection Committee.

Marissa____
[description of RA Selection Committee] So important that we end up culling each year. There is a rumor that Donita doesn’t sit on the committee this year, but we want her to be on it this year. We recommend, however that in future a senior RD that knows the ropes takes her place. Has implications for the structure of res life….. Anyway if you wanna meet to talk to about this afterward, one of us will hang aroud. We will also send out an email of recommendations by the end of this week. [cheering]

David_______
Thanks guys. I make motion to limit discussion to keep things moving (all for, Paol AR apposed).

Chelsea_____
Yoyoyo (cheering). Sorry about the static (something about a speaker in the shop). You saw the email about the 2 weeks notice thing.  You can do it by emailing us, we’ll be setting up an email account. It’s so we don’t get over stressed. We used to get people coming to us the night before for a concert… we’d have to stay up till 1 am and not get any papers written. Wall signups are this Saturday, starting at 7. This Saturday.

Motion for Kerem to throw wall .. Paolo AR apposed [irate person: abuse of power]
Paolo AR: Power corrupts.

QuestionAmber: Is this for all funding or just equipment TAs?

Answer: More involved things. We’ll be doing training on people setting up wall equipment themselves. We have the log available (explanation of the log and things to be checked out, like cameras). We’ll be sending out an email about this.

[applause]

David_________
Awsome. This is not taking so long.
The EPC is taking on an academic master plan, essentially what that mean is…. NC is coming up for SACS accreditation. We were originally accredited in 2002, so now we’re coming up with a master plan, also called a strategic plan. So we can plan things like more professors, in advance. The provost as charged the EPC with….
The topic of that meeting was what should first years know after their first years. We got a bunch of stuff like: civic engagement, understanding of ownership of the campus and better writing skills. We didn’t get enough faculty involvement, so it’s on hold. The EPC isn’t sure what a master plan is supposed to look like. The 2002 version  was done in true new college style. Michelson went home, wrote it in three days, ignoring phone calls and other interruptions, and brought it in. [Laughter]

Kerem_______
Hey guys. So as you noticed the trees were removed from Pei and B Dorm. I talked to Donita and Chuck, they were removed because they were invasive or messy with plumbing, or were gonna fall. That’s understandable? [Ya!] Students weren’t told, they thought we’d get upset. Let’s make a deal: We will promise to be understanding and patient about things, as long as they tell us. [We already are understanding and patient – Bill]. I know, it’s hard when student are pissed at you constantly [students chuckle], so try. [Paolo AR – I don’t want them to try, I want them to really get our input] [Then we should have recieed an email] Just try to be patient and understanding.

[Alex Kline- will they be replacing the trees?]

Yes, when there’s Pei renovation. You want potted plants?

[general Ya]

Donita – Trevor tree planter is involved in the plants. Recommendations from the landscaping comittee. Should be consulted for anything outdoors like art, bike racks, and colors. (Landscaping and grund committee) Problem about Potted plants is people leave them out, and come hurricane season,a nd u leave those pots out. We don’t have time for that, so try to make a real plane. This is a long term plan

Kerem____
Anything else

[What happened to the owl that lived in 1st courts?]
[It lives in palms trees in palm court – Alex Kline]

Apply to be on the RA committee. The council will be meeting Thursday in the GDC. Update.

[Ummm? Will there be info on what is involved in planning in orientation?]

If you want more info email me or Wendy- ya.

[Applications?]
