The EngSoc meeting #5 has come to a completion. Like at any meeting, each executive discussed what meetings they have been going to and what they have been accomplishing while the directors discussed new, upcoming events. However among the motions to change the policy manual and constitution, a new kind of motion was presented – to create a new EngSoc executive position: Vice President of Baby-Sitting (VP-BS).

The spirit of the motion was that the current executives are working very hard with all of the cross campus organizations, trying to make the student body more knowledgeable of what EngSoc is involved with and still handling all of their homework. With the new EngSoc position, the VP-BS would help alleviate the stresses that the current executives have with their day-to-day work and help make sure that they are reaching their full potential in the work they do.

To be qualified for this position, you will need good organizational and time managements skills, as part of the job will be working with the executives to formulate a daily schedule so that they know where they need to be at any time. This will help them so that they don’t arrive late for their meetings and that they have enough time to do their homework. The person who becomes VP-BS will also need a strong voice to make sure that the other executives go to bed when it is their bedtime. They will also no longer be permitted to watch vulgar cartoons such as Metalocalypse and will be encouraged to watch more family friendly television, like the Magic School Bus.

The final skill needed for those who consider running for VP-BS will be the ability to cook and feed others. The current executives are very busy people, and do not have time to make nutritional lunches and dinners for themselves, and the job of ensuring these executives do not starve will move from the individual execs to the VP-BS. Let’s aim to have a scury-free exec! Depending on who is executive, the VP-BS may also be required to spoon-feed food to the other executives in order to make sure each exec eats all of their vegetables.

The second reading of this motion will occur at Meeting #6. Because three readings on both societies to change the constitution, the third reading on B-Soc will occur at the first meeting of the Winter term, assuming that it will pass on A-Soc in the Fall, and then be applied for the next set of elections later that term in March.
