Follow these "simple" instructions:
(1) Make checks payable to "OHSU Student Council". The cost is $50/person.
(2) Organize your own group of less than 14 people
(3) Gather all the checks from your group and write everyone's name on a sheet of paper, papyrus, or whatever.
(4) IMPORTANT: mention if you want "Family Friendly" housing, which is essential a block of condos that will be quiter; if you're looking to party, don't ask for family friendly housing unless your idea of a party is playing house or going to bed before 10PM.
(5) Turn your sheet into any student council representative BEFORE Friday November 10th -- yes, this is an extended due date from the previous due date of November 3rd.
***Again, the due date is: FRIDAY NOVEMBER 10TH.

The Pulse Vol. 2 Issue 3
The fall 2006 issue of The Pulse is attached to the below link. In this issue you can read about the first-ever Student Community Fair, how to get your flu shot, how to fight global warming (which includes having YOU vote!), a music review to fire your binary synapses, the upcoming student union, as well as other stories that are just too polemical to type here (well, not really, but I'm trying to get you interested).
As Yoda would say, "Enjoy, You Will".

All-Hill Ski Trip Update
Still no pricing Information yet, but thanks to "Anonymous" for submitting two very good points. Stay tuned for more soon...
***********
1) ensure that you specify if you want to be a "family friendly" housing area (away from crazy partying).
2) the $40-45 is not per bed but per person sleeping in a bed, double occupancy is assumed (as it would be with 4 people sharing a 2-queensized bed hotel room).

All-Hill Ski Trip *Please Read Carefully
Below is the information for the upcoming All-Hill Ski Trip in Sunriver, Oregon, January 5-7th. This is one of TWO ski trips this year, with the other ski trip being sponsored by GSO in February. For comparison, the GSO ski trip is smaller in size (obviously), is over a longer period of time, and allows each group to stay in a private house with a hot tub (insert Slim-Jim voice here: "Oh Yeahhhh...."). More on that when the time comes, but for now, we have the All-Hill Ski Trip to enjoy.
Please read the below instructions CAREFULLY, as there are changes this year. One such change is the requirement for one person from each group/condo to hold open a credit card apon check-in to cover potential damages. Hmmm...alcohol consuption = damages? Absurd! Nevertheless, Sunriver is requiring this. There are other changes listed below.
Mark this down: checks will be due FRIDAY NOVEMBER 3rd. Unfortunately, we don't yet know how much the cost will be, but likely $40-$45. I will update Your Space and all of you as soon as I know how much the trip will cost. In the meantime, make your plans and start asking around and forming your groups of 8, 10, 12, or 14 people. A most informal list on your favorite piece of paper will do. Guests are welcome. When it is time to turn in your checks, you can give them to me at 4401 Vollum Institute (4-5455) or any other student council representative (see the side bar to find other, possibly closer representatives). In the meantime, hope for snow.
Below is an excerpt from Amanda Ecker's e-mail to all the student council representatives. Any further quesitons you may should be able to be answered by contacting her at eckera@ohsu.edu
**********
1. We voted against buses so people will be responsible for getting themselves over there. Suggest carpooling with enough time to organize people into cars?
2. The cost has not been decided yet, we will take a vote on it soon but it will be $40-45. This is the price of one BED. If you have children that you want to bring (and definitely feel free to bring them, it will be family friendly) that use a crib or sleep with you, you DO NOT have to pay the money for that child. However, if your child wants/needs a bed, you DO have to pay for them. There were a few problems with this last year.
SUNRIVER INFORMATION
1. How do I get to Sunriver? Directions: Sunriver Website has a map. You can also try Mapquest
2. What do I eat while I'm there? There are full kitchens where we are staying including fridge, dishwasher, stove and pots, pans and other utensils.

3. When & Where do I Check In/Check out? At the Main Lodge.
Check in starts at 4PM, but rooms are not "guaranteed" to be open until 6PM. Please check out by 10:00am Sunday Morning.

Welcome Back!
After a summer-long hiatus, "Your Space" is back. For those of you new to OHSU or unfamiliar with Your Space, it is your source for communication to GSO representatives and dialogue among your fellow comrades. This blog is primarily updated by me, your GSO Vice President, but hopefully I can expand it to make it more interactive. And most UNLIKE the popular Your Space rip-off, "MySpace," there are no solicitations, child pedophilia, or Mark Foleys. Horay!
The first order of business is to announce our inaugural GSO meeting this Wednesday, October 4th at 5:15 in the Vollum Synapse (Floor 2M). We will provide pizza, soda, and a GSO staple, non-offensive beer for offensive people (yes, note the sarcasm). This year promises to be as vocal as last year with many transitions underway, most notably the construction and opening of our yet-to-be-named OHSU student union. As an added note, I am on the student union committee and will use Your Space to announce any significant updates for discussion.
With use, I hope that Your Space will evolve into exactly that: your space to discuss matters that matter to you (...I'm pretty sure that made sense). If anyone wishes to add a posting, just send me a direct e-mail and I can cut and paste your post for open reading and discussion; you can comment to any posting by clicking on the "comments" link toward the bottom of each post.
That's all for now. Happy researching, procrastinating, studying, and aging. I'll see you tomorrow at the GSO meeting.
