Firstly,

Attention to those who have worked for IMU Open Day(Feb),

Sorry for the delay! You can collect your IMU Open Day payment from SRC office at this period of time:

8 April (Thursday): 2-5pm

For full day shift: RM30
For half day shift: RM15

Secondly,

SRC 09/10 have subscribed 1 year Magazines for Student Lounge for students to read starting from May 2010-May 2011! The magazines include TIME, FORTUNE & READER's DIGEST! Hopefully all the students will like it!

Thirdly,

"Save Our Earth" Week by SRC 09/10 have come to the end on last week. However, I do hope that students will continue to play your roles to Save Our Planet Earth! Keep bringing your containers for take away food instead of using polystyrene which will harm the environment! Go Green T-shirt & Badges are still available for sales!

T-shirt: 2 Designs (Black & White), RM20 each
Badges: 3 Designs-RM5 (Bigger Badge), RM4 (Smaller Badge)

Do drop by SRC office or don't hesitate to contact any SRC members if you would like to have a look and purchase any one of them!

Fourthly,

Cafe Meeting will be held on 19 April 2010. So any complaints regarding the cafe caterers (especially the new caterer-Impian Rasa) can be brought up to either the treasurer (Ickes) or the president (Zia) so that we can discuss with the cafe committee in the meeting!

Fifthly,

Regarding the Vending Machines, it was still pending as IMU is still finding the best Vending Machine Company for the students. So be anticipated and we will try to bring them in as soon as possible!

Sixthly,

Regarding the Astro in student lounge, we are so regretted that it went inactive for few weeks as we are in the process of changing it from family package to commercial package. Regards to that, we are no longer able to afford all the channels as they are too expensive. We have increased our budget from around RM300-400 per month to RM750 per month, hopefully the channels we have chosen will benefit the students.

The channels available now are:
1) Sports Package – RM550

Most students hanging out at student lounge are usually very active in sports; in contrast, nerdy students would be reading books at home.

Thus, sports channel is viewed rather often.

2) Star World – RM60

A lot of series are shown here (e.g. heroes, ugly betty, American Idol) and I believe most students will like to watch it.

3) AXN –RM40

I have noticed students like to watch reality series for example, Biggest Loser in Asia, Amazing Race and etc. We can have it here on AXN.

4) Discovery Channel –RM 40

Among all the learning channels, I found discovery channel to be most informative and interesting (history channel is boring, while Nat Geo focuses too much on wildlife).

5) MTV Channel-RM60

MTV channel is relaxing, and enlightened with musics. I found that a lot of students will prefer to watch this channel.

Total Fee per month for Astro: RM750

Lastly,

Just a kind reminder about ECA Form, please submit it to my possible new treasurer (Yeh Fong) before 28 May 2010. Don't submit at the last minute and please submit it fast. Delayed submission will result in cutting of funds and if possible clubs being abolished! I will be stepping down and pass most of my treasurer works to my new possible treasurer starting from 8 April 2010. So, clubs will be working & meeting with new treasurer soon. However, the official hand-over ceremony will be around in May. Be informed!

Any questions feel free to e-mail me at ickes_angelo88@hotmail.com!
