Rec. Room
$0 of the $1000 rec. room budget has been spent. It was thus suggested that this money go towards a new MacG copier. The price of an industrial size/strength copier is between $860 - $1200. 
Arif  (co - rec. room chair) feels that the money was allocated for recreational purposes, not for buying a copier. He intends to buy for the rec. room a new TV ($600), VCR($250) , pool sticks ($50) and stereo ($100) before the end of the term. However storage over for the summer will present problems.
Windows
There will be no drastic changes.
Presently the windows in common areas and student rooms open 4" to 6". Next fall, all windows in common areas will open 4", and windows in student rooms 6". 
The windows in the common areas will be checked monthly, and student rooms at least every year, possibly once a term.
Fines will issued for tampered windows starting next term.
