The High School conference is looking for volunteers. The conference is November 1st - 4th and they need a bunch of people to help out. There is a singup sheet located on the EngSoc board outside the office.

They are also looking for a new co-director for next year, so this is a great chance to see what its all about and if you think you might want to be involved!

If you have any questions please e-mail Ainsley Otten at amcphers@uoguelph.ca

When: Tuesday October 2nd from 5:30 - 7pm
Where: Thrn 1200
Why: People will be deciding how your money is spent, you should too!

Would you like people just going around and spending your money without you having a say? OF COURSE NOT! Well that's exacly what's going to happen if you don't attend the LAB FUND meeting.

For those who don't know, every semester a portion of your student fees goes towards LAB FUND. The purpose of LAB FUND is "to enhance the quality of the undergraduate education and to improve services to the undergraduate student body".

TRANSLATION:
Students and faculty make monetary requests from LAB FUND to purchase things or fund initiatives that will benefit the undergraduate student body.
Recent purchases have included:
- The nice chairs you sit on when working in 1135 computer lab
- The OKI printers you use to print stuff off in the computer labs
- The installation of the power plugs in the long window hallway
- The new lockers across from the lounge
- The wireless access point in many parts of the Engineering Building
- MANY MANY MORE!

At the meeting each person or group who is requesting money will give a short presentation about what they are asking for and will field questions.

YOU GET TO VOTE ON WHEATHER OR NOT THESE REQUESTS ARE APPROVE!
