Meeting of March 3/2002

Present are Henrik Pedersen, Owen Ferguson, Randy Boehm, and Julie Yau.


Discussed Julie's change of status from full-time to PT. This affects ability to be IS rep.
The plan is to now have Henrik serve as Student Councillor during the summer term, and Julie to serve as Student Councillor during the following two terms.

Minutes from previous meeting approved. Owen moved, Julie seconds.

THE BUDJET:
Jeff has resigned his position.
Randy will complete the budget by Monday morning.
Should we apply some of the budget to upgrades of the lounge? --> a question for other students in the program.
We need to hand in the budget to Dawn Phillips to get our $250 this term.

VICTORIA'S PROMO VIDEO
Victoria wants people to help/to be interviewed.
Randy offers to help film.
Randy thinks that Don, Julie and Henrik may be willing to be filmed.
Julie laughs, and says that she will not be filmed (but is willing to help in any other aspect).
Owen says that he will help with the technical aspect, and is willing to be filmed.
There is the question of how to get in regular contact with Victoria.
Owen suggests that we could contact her through Anne, since Henrik pointed out that Victoria is keeping Anne up to date about things.
Victoria is called so that we can discuss the video.


{There is the suggestion for Owen to chair meetings}

Motion passes

There is now a map of Canada on the board in in the SIS lounge. I've requested a contact list of all IS graduates from the alumni office as per authorization granted at the last executive meeting. It's currently on its way to George Francis and then, hopefully, me. Once I get it, I'll start to put together an index by location, area of interest, etc. If anyone has a world map they'd like to donate to the project, that would help.


As for frosh stuff, I'm just ignoring it right now. Perhaps we could figure out if we have anyone applying to enter the program this term and how we could get more involved in the admissions comittee.


Feds election is on, so I need to get a copy of the presidential admonishment ready. If anyone has an electronic copy of it, please email it to me.
