Hi Everyone!
I hope you had a good Easter break!
This Friday, April 17th), Joseph Wallace will present on “Animating With POV-Ray”. This meeting will be at 4:30pm in LH 133.
POV-Ray is a free program for creating three-dimensional images.
This presentation will cover simple clock-based animation and the use of macros to construct easily-controlled objects. As POV-Ray is preinstalled on the lab computers, feel free to experiment during the talk!
We will also have ACM Officer Elections, so be sure to come and nominate yourself or your friends at the meeting!
Here’s a quick description of the positions (contact us if you would like more details):
ACM President (Chair):
- Finds and schedules speakers for meetings.
- Sends meeting announcement meetings.
- Sets up and holds ACM officer meetings
As ACM president, I’d guess that I spend on average about 1 hour per week on ACM related emails and 1 hour preparing for and attending ACM officer meetings (not held every week if meetings are already scheduled)
The Vice President presides over any meetings that the President misses and in general helps with anything that is needed.
ACM Secretary
-makes powerpoint slides for chapel and flyer announcements
-assists with meetings: planning, setup
-(in the future) keeps minutes?
-creates funding request bills for Senate
Treasurer:
Being treasurer does not take much time. Basically, all you need to do is make sure to fill out the forms to reimburse people who buy stuff for the ACM.
There are official descriptions in the LETU ACM Constitution ftp://ftp.letu.edu/classes/COSC/ACM/Archive/ACMConstitution.pdf
I look forward to seeing who becomes our new officers!
