  • Old Business


    • Pie Eating Contest/Fellowship

      • All Entries for Pie Eating Contest due by Tuesday at Noon

        • Anna to write all hall email to let people know this

      • Rules for pie eating contest

        1. No Hands

        2. Judges/Referees to walk around and enforce rules

          • We consider allowing an assistant to help the contestant keep their pie in place, but decide against it.

        1. No Time Limit, but the contest will be timed for bragging rights

        2. JC's and Residents will eat in rounds

          • residents first, staff second

      • Pies are messy and we don't want to be cleaning up all night. We need Mess Protectors!

        • Garbage Bag Dressing Gowns (ok, Erin K. has been reading too much Victorian Literature). Basically we are going to force our contestant's heads through garbage bags.

          • Anna claims that this forcing their heads through makes a more protective covering

          • Anna is the Pie Eating Contest Guru

        • Floor Protectors of some kind.

        • We will requisition some garbage bags

        • We will once again make use of the long folding tables in the Blue Lounge

      • Adrian will MC

      • Andrew, Lisa, Hannah, and the Erins (Erin K. and Erin A.) will be the Referees

        • Referees are supposed to dress up in a silly fashion

        • Adrian want the referees to speak in British Accents

      • Adrian and Bryan to buy stuff

        • Bryan is working during the contest. Uh oh! He was going to compete

      • Some of us will meet at 7 pm on Wednesday to make Pies

      • Everyone will be in the Blue Lounge as close to 9:40 pm on Wednesday to help set up

      • We vote to approve $50-60 to buy a Plaque to put the Contest Winner's name on


    • Appreciation Days Wrap Up

      • Cards went under the door the previous night

      • There were really cool signs made by Anna and Erin A.


    • Hallwear

      • We look at a total of 10 designs

        • We vote not to burn Anna and Erin's design

        • Through a process of elimination too complicated to follow we look at all the designs and reject the following:

        1. Stitsworth is my homeboy—not enough respect for the VP pf the college

        2. Hill-Kitt in a box—not an ok reference

        3. Better than a White T-Shirt—it's been done

        4. Hill and a Kitten—it's probably not going to sell to guys

        5. Hill-Kitt/Cool S***—no expletives allowed

        6. Intervisitation Encouraged—Apparently Res. Life does not take Intervisitation jokes well.

        7. What the Hill.../Kitt—The joke's not appropriate...again

        • The following designs make it through to the preliminary voting round

          1. Front: Beverly Hill-Kitt Back:That's Where I Want to Be

            • We like the song

            • it's a good solid choice

          1. Front: Hill-Kitt 07-08 Back Silhouette of Hill-Kitt with “All Quiet on the Western Front”

            • Hill-Kitt is not technically the westernmost dorm (Ytterboe is)

            • If it's executed well this design could be very, very cool

          1. Front: Picture of a Car driving away from the Hill-Kitt Sign “Don't need to walk/Got a Pimped Out Ride” above and below it Back: Hill-Kitt 07-08

            • Upperclassmen “What the he**?!?” Apparently it's a part of the cheer that upperclassmen don't learn

            • that would alienate half the dorm

      • Voting

        • Preliminaries are canceled because one of the finalist designs ( Beverly Hill-Kitt) gets no votes. We move directly to the final voting round.

        • Final Votes:

          1. All Quiet—5

          2. Car--4

      • Our Hall Wear design is as follows:

        • Front: Hill-Kitt 07-08 Back Silhouette of Hill-Kitt with “All Quiet on the Western Front”

        • Adrian asks me to note for our letter to next year's hall council that we advise them not to hold a design contest, but to instead design the shirts themselves.

      • Discussion of semantics begins

        • Adrian wants Roman Numerals instead of Arabic ones

          • For clarity that would be MMVII—MMVIII instead of 07-08 or 2007—2008

          • I think that roman numerals might be too different. Even though I do like them

          • We are willing to do anything as long as it's classy

            • 07-08 is not classy

        • We begin to discuss how we want the Hall name displayed Hill-Kitt or Hilleboe-Kittlesby

      • At this point Potter intervenes and suggests that a few of us sketch various interpretations of the design and bring them to next week's meeting.

        • Suzi, Bryan, and the Erins (that would be Erin K .and Erin A.) volunteer to sketch

      • Adrian will email the design scans to be for the records (note: he has not as of this writing so there are no pictures in the minutes)

      • Bryan will be emailing people, getting a quote, and placing orders


    • Food for Finals

      • Committee plans to meet Monday at 4:30 pm. They will report next weel


  • New Business

    • HKHC Dinner

      • Since Adrian can barely remember our names (and I'll admit I sometimes forget who people are too) Potter want us to have dinner in a Buntrock Meeting room sometime

      • Potter will take care of the details and inform us about them at a later date. Hopefully he gives us some notice.

    • Parliamentary Procedure

      • Some of us like it, other people roll their eyes

      • Regardless of our decision on Parliamentary Procedure we will still vote on resolutions

      • Erin A. just wants things to move in a linear fashion, and if we can do that without Parliamentary Procedure great, but if not that is what it is for.

        • Erin K heartily agrees, it is hard enough to take notes as it is

      • Do we need to approve minutes?

      • We need to clearly state what we are voting on and discussing and wander less

  • Executive Reports:

    • Senate Report:

      • Fall Concert

        • Right now almost half of the Pause budget goes to fall concert with the rest of the budget covering everything else, including Lutefest they want to fix that

        • On top of that only 1/3 of the student body attended fall concert this year

        • Possible solutions include moving the concert to the Pause, canceling it altogether

      • Elections

        • Suggested course for the 2008 elections

        • Students will be able to get a sign for their door that tells Campaigns to leave them alone

        • Campaigns will also be limited to certain hours for doorknocking (9:30 am—10:00pm)

    • Presidential Report:

      • The Packers beat the Vikings, which Arian says proves that Wisconsin is better than Minnesota

        • Erin K says in response is The Milwaukee Brewers

          • Go Twins!

  • Adjourn 10:52
