SPILL- President Jessica Cook, Vice President Clark Gehler, and Vice President of Confidentiality Greg Federspiel came to speak about Spill. Spill is a national organization; it stands for Supporting Peer In Laidback Listening. This is a way for students to receive feedback and advice from other students on campus. Students can send in any sort of a problem, and they will get feedback from 6-8 other students on campus that have been through a similar situation. This is completely anonymous and is done all electronically. Spill wants our help, needs student supporters. There is one training session required. The student supporters are walked through specific spills, and all responses are screened to prevent inappropriate responses. Also, shirts are for sale, $10.00. Spill would like to put flyers in halls.. If interested in being on E board, there will be elections held next semester. (If an emergency is reported, the appropriate administration will be contacted.) www.spillnow.com
The Riddle:
A farmer has to transport a fox, a goose and a sack of grain across a river. The boat is so small that there is room only for him and one of the others at a time, but if he leaves the fox and goose together the fox will kill the goose, and if the goose and the sack of grain are left together the goose will eat the grain. How does he get them all over?

i. Meeting Location – Due to the fact that our meetings have grown in numbers immensely, we may be switching meeting to the ballroom. Discussion is opened up to see what people think of moving rooms. There are a few days that we might only have half of the ballroom, but even half of the ballroom is bigger than our current room. (If we do move, everyone will be notified.)
xv. Final Thoughts: All cells phones should be put away and on silent during the meetings. It is disrespectful to other assembly members and to the speakers.
