  <para>This chapter covers various useful notes for the CSC president,
  ranging from who to call for room bookings to when the term should end.
  I&#39;ll rant some more later.</para>

    <title>What to do</title>

    <para>The President is the person responsible. As ungrammatical as that
    may seem, it is exactly accurate. He or she is responsible to make certain
    that everything the CSC is involved in gets proper attention. Specifically,
    the President&#39;s duties are:</para>

    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem>
        <para> to call and preside at all general, special, and executive
        meetings of the Club;</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para> to appoint all committees of the Club and the committee chair
        of such committees, except the chair of the Programme Committee;</para>
      </listitem>

      <listitem>
        <para> to audit, or to appoint a representative to audit, the
        financial records of the club at the end of each academic term.</para>
      </listitem>
    </itemizedlist>

    <para>Wherever possible, the President should delegate tasks to others.
    Not doing this can overburden the President.</para>

    <title>Explanation</title>

    <para>As listed above the president is responsible for appointing
    committee chair&#39;s and other positions. So, it is basically up to the
    president to decide whether or not there is an explicit office staff. How
    do people become office staff? Must the office close every day? What do
    the members expect to get out of the club in this term? </para>

    <title>MathSoc</title>

    <para>The CSC is a MathSoc club as such you should know the <ulink
    url="http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/pinkbook.php">MathSoc club policies</ulink>
    and know that the president is a non-voting member of MathSoc council,
    like MathSoc directors.</para>
