In addition to the Friday hours elections and budget input, and because of numerous people informing me of schedule conflicts, HCSFE (The undergrad part) will be effectively holding a two day election on both this Thursday (2:00pm-6:30pm), and this Friday (2:30pm-5:00pm). We need at least a quorum of active members (16) to vote... the process is fairly quick since the three electable positions are uncontested.
We are aware of the encoding problems with some of the videos on the website, including those in the ECO721 section... we are working diligently to re-encode the videos so they work properly, but the process is time consuming (for a 140 minute class, the total time to convert from tape to a raw file, then from a raw file to a properly encoded file is 280 minutes). In our budget request (which only gets to go through the process if we have enough people vote), we have requested a DV camera to streamline the process. I cannot impress upon you enough how important it is to vote on Thursday or friday.... the appropriate voting forms will be available in 1538 HW both days, regardless of time (until 5:00 friday, when they get submitted). It is only with your support that we can utilize the money you already pay in fees so that we can provide you with resources to help you achieve your academic goals.
Best Regards,
Ken Lord
