Hello from Nadia, Ian, Matt and Phillip. Nadia wears pretty dresses. Mathsoc plans on working closely

2. Appoint

No nominations for speaker; moved to next meeting.

5. Funding Request for UPS Batteries to be placed in MC3015 Student Servers
Ian moves to approve $575 for UPS batteries for the Student Server Room (MC3015). Phillip seconds.
Discussion: Proposal made by Ajnu on behalf of Dave Gawley, Technical Manager of CSCF. The server
supports all student services (MathSOC, clubs, etc). MEF partially funded the project with $575.00, and
this proposal is now requesting for another $575.00 from MathSOC. Council is considering this matter
now (before the budget meeting) because general MathSOC funding comes from a separate budget
than that which we discuss at the budget meeting; also, the price quoted may change, so time is of the
essence. Motion succeeds.
5+k-1. Appoint Temporary Speaker
Council unanimously votes to make Rami temporary Speaker (for the remainder of the meeting).

about it! Phillip is jet-lagged.

nacho night next Wednesday to promote the committee. Next Thursday (day after nacho night) is WIM
