Journal Editing Workhike, March 13 For all you slackers who claiming there aren�t any workhikes, from the Journal Editor: The printer deadline for the journal is coming up REALLY soon! I will need your help to get that last editing crunch in before the Monday, March 16th deadline. The type of editing you can volunteer for varies but includes proof-reading already edited articles for typos, criticizing my Journal layout, fixing levels of photos, and fully editing last minute articles. I think that the best way of doing this is to share a pitcher of beer (or tea) at a great big table, thus minimizing internet static and email faff. Bring your laptop and your thinking cap. Please sign up on the wiki - but remember that by doing so you are committing yourself to those few hours next Friday. I cannot do this alone, and I cannot pull the weight for people who bail out last minute. You don't have to be an English student to be a good editor - You just need to have a fine set of eyes to spot the stuff I missed. http://www.ubc-voc.com/wiki/Journal_editing_extravaganza_2009 III. Call for Executives Who runs this club anyways? The VOC executive, more-or-less - and that could be you. Believe it or not, most of the exec are not chest-beating hardmen - in fact, mostly we're just a bunch of people who had a good time in the club last year and want to give something back. You don't need to be an expert at anything, other than donating your time and effort - these are mostly organizational roles (although experience, of course, helps). Check out the link to see what positions you might be interested in. http://www.ubc-voc.com/phorum2/read.php?f=1&i=42383&t=42383 IV. MEC Elections MEC is having an election to fill the Board of Directors. If you are a member (which undoubtedly most of you are) then you can vote. http://www.ubc-voc.com/phorum2/read.php?f=1&i=42557&t=42557 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTRIBUTIONS to the VOCene are welcome.
