=General Notes=


 * PCM Evaluation - extension to 3/11. Two week after the end of each term, the PCM reps get the online responses. It then rotates between the three reps in terms of who is writing the report.
 * Why is PCM graded on a 1-10 scale rather than Pass/Fail? Because it's a "real" class and by grading on a continuum scale, it places more importance on PCM.


 * All Hill
 * Insurance Plan - increased price from $269 to $297 in this coming year. Dental to be $29. Changes with student health include students are required to go through student health to get a referral to see a specialist. Also, the co-pay for ER visits have increased. Student health is free for all students regardless of Aetna. Also, OHSU does have a program for health care for low income/students - SEND OUT EMAIL to inform classmates. Student health Committee includes 1 student from each school. There is concern because the Ph.D. students get free care so they want the full menu that are generally more $$$. There is also talk about including PSU students in the pool.
 * Events: Inception movie screening 3/17, 3/18 @ Student Center.
 * All Hill Bulletin Board in RJH
 * Funding from All-Hill: Social events must invite everyone. Funding for travel only exists when everything from the Dean's Office is exhausted. However, Kassi will work on getting forms from All-Hill for funding requests.
 * Handbook: There is currently no set protocol for how All-Hill Council is run. Also, work on a hierarchy of funding.


 * Social events
 * Ryland/Ice Skating. Poll for attendance. This will be a social event (not a fundraiser). Planned for after SH is over (Wednesday or Friday).


 * Senate and Dean's Office
 * Hierarchy of Funding
 * AMSA is a separate club with separate funding through membership dues and OHSU books.
 * Senate funding reopens in May. Applications should be turned in EARLY. The budget = $15,000/year for all four years. Up to $50 for registration and $500 for presenting. Must be in good academic standing.


 * Nancy
 * Closed sign up Sheet for sweathshirts. $1500 for our class. Order will go out on Friday and product will be ready in 2 weeks. Plans to spend $52 on breakfast food so total will be $1000 net. No hand deliveries.
 * Plans for the future of sweatshirt sales: Next year will be much cheaper and possibly include mail delivery. Possibility of expanding to the whole hill. To resubmit an order, we would only need 15 sweatshirts to break even.
 * PA Jackets were done through the OHSU Book store. Another possibility that would include picking up the jackets straight from the bookstore.
