Specialized Roles: Maj/Min Leaders, Executive, Whips, Secretaries If you are listed above, you need to be at Exhibition at 4:30 to help us set up! Directions to Noble Hall: 1.Coming from downtown (the south hill) If you are coming from the downtown area, drive up (east on) eighth ave. Drive up the hill to the college, and drive straight through the stoplight. Immediately on your left you will see a drop-off area with a few parking places – DON'T PARK THERE. Keep driving straight and take the next left into the large parking lot. Go to the far left corner (by that drop off area you just passed. 2.Coming from the north (the north hill/Florida Rd.) If you are driving from the north side of town, turn up College Drive and go uphill. That's the stoplight between J-Bo's restaurant and Mountain Sun Apartments. Drive up the hill, past the golf course, and take a right at the traffic circle. Take the next left (by the soccer field). You will soon see a very large parking lot on your right hand side. You may enter it at any point, but make sure you drive as far down as you can (toward the stoplight). Park in the large lot as close to the stoplight as possible. Park there, and Noble Hall will be the building closest to you. Go up the steps and into the building, and the rooms will be right there inside the door. DP Updating: Reflection-- DUE WED.

A few notes...
Nice job so far! You're teachers are impressed by the focus and seriousness you are all bringing to this task. The level of debate is high! A few quick observations:
This Afternoon: This afternoon, your task is to take any bills that pass out of committee, and make sure you fully understand how the amendments modify the bill, and how these amendments modify your party and senator's positions on the bill. What if my bill didn't make it out of committee? You should still submit a final written speech to your Humanities teacher. You are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to add yourself to the speaker's list for another bill and speak in favor or opposition. This doesn't need to be formally written out, and can be shorter than the usual 2-3 minutes! What are we doing tomorrow? Tomorrow we'll be taking time to go over final details for the Exhibition at Fort Lewis, give you final feedback and notes before our last night, and to revise speeches for people who are speaking on Friday so that they better address the fully amended bill. We will also go over the Senior POL and paneling schedule to make sure there are no intractable conflicts. Don't forget, we're on a WEDNESDAY schedule tomorrow! |
