\section*{Membership:}
Membership in the Computer Science Club is open to anyone willing to join,
though voting membership is only open to undergraduate math students at the
University of Waterloo. Membership costs \$2 per term and may be paid in
advance. What does membership get you?
Here's the quick summary: your fee supports club events that are
open to all and grants you access to club services such as our computing environment,
office, pop fridge, and library. It also makes you eligible for volunteer positions in the club, if you'd
prefer to do more than just pay to support our activites.
Membership in the Computer Science Club is open to anyone in the University of
Waterloo community, costs \$2 per term, and may be paid in

they have access to club services such as our computing environment, web
hosting, office, pop fridge, and library.
\subsection*{Office:}

\section*{Events:}
Each term, the CSC runs numerous acadamic and social events.
These events run the gamut from
socials, the most infamous being the end of term dinner, CTRL-D; through
tutorials and workshops, including an introduction to the CS student's best
friend: the UNIX environmen; to talks from professors and Computer Science
luminaries. Some talks from the past include Bill Gates in 1989 (before he
was famous), John McCarthy in 1994 (he created LISP), and more recently,
Joel Spolsky of Fog Creek Software, Bjarne Stroustrup, and Richard Stallman.
We have also toured the labs of the Institute for Quantum Computing after
enjoying a talk from the director Raymond Laflamme on the future of quantum
computation and the current state of programming available to quantum
computers.
