graphics card for Beer ($50 to $100?)
headphones for office machines: something around $10 each
mice: about 6 new mice will be purchase as ours are breaking, and having some spares for people to use is helpful.

Buy a coffee machine?
we think offering free coffee (with a suggested donation) would bring more people into the office.

Discussion on constitution:
Are extension students allowed to run for office?
Our constitution says “undergraduates,” this does not seem to exclude extension students, so we don’t plan to propose any change.

Dicussion on banning video games from the office:
Video games make it difficult to do work in the office.
Our office is a good place for people to relax, and games are a good things for that.
The major problem is loud games. We won’t have an official policy, but instead will suggest to our members that they should police themselves.

Rohan is going to investigate MOTD and why it’s so hard to use
