      2. Housing officer co-option

      Thomas feels that he has the organizational ability needed to act as housing officers as well as ideas regarding rent negotiations. These include more vacation res an, possibly, changes to the catering charges. Thomas confirmed that he would make sure that any changes were democratically approved.

      Ethnic Minorities officer co-option

      Ayesha and Naa emphasized the importance of ethnic minorities officers.

    Francis noted that at sports committee, it was suggested that we should pair up with another college for women’s sports. St Catz was mooted as a possibility. The timing of the sports budget is being moved to Trinity; Lisa wants it to be 7th week. There will also be a meeting in Michaelmas, at which updated budgets will be considered. It was unclear how this would benefit students, but the next officers will be required to deal with this.
