Q1. A1.

Q2. A2. Q3. A3.

Any effect on the incoming freshers? No, they will pick by form as normal How does it work? People can choose to ballot in groups OR as individuals Shouldnt be any implications of unfairness How does it work for sharing as a two? Can ballot as a group of pairs What happens when a group comes at the bottom and the remaining rooms are all over the place? Same solution as it is now anyway. Group at bottom could always pick Bowra which remains free. This random allocation mathematically treats individuals less fairly than groups Housing Officer: When would groups pick each other? Michaelmas? More work for H.O.? Groups can work things out amongst themselves What if theres a group of 11? Split into 2 groups of 6 and 5 Other colleges get groups of approx 6 We propose between 1 and 10 people Maybe group size based on size of staircase? Discussion Massively opposed: bad integration of 1st and 3rd years will be made worse Current system bad for people in the middle who dont know where their friends will end up You can arrange to end up in a group anyway e.g. SC 16/17 this year Hard to do this though; cant arrange in advance when and friends are so far from each other in ballot Separation isnt a bad thing; can socialise in a friends room better than yours Would much rather live in a staircase together which is like a house atmosphere Groups of 10 would be too big because there will be remainder rooms spare Dont want to go through the bitchy politics of sorting housing groups again Should be easier/calmer in established 2nd year groups Revival of a freshers-only staircase would be a good plus SC 9 used to be this but not any more Some freshers-only staircases v disruptive to nearby finalists though Housing Officer: Many logistical difficulties in making room decisions within groups Issue really doesnt matter; college community is very close anyway, dont have to have friends in own staircase. Good that its mixed

Q7. A7. Q8. A8.

Nice to have your own space again in 3rd year Also nice to live with new people who you havent met properly before Current 2nd year really wanted to live with friends again next year and currently not able to Being in the same space would be better for knowing whos in etc People might feel awkward obligation of balloting with old housemate group Final year can actually be a fresh, different year Current system supports integration with 1st years Especially good for people on 4-year course whose friends have mostly gone People organise themselves into groups anyway Nothing wrong with formalising; pro-motion By contrast, this also means theres no need to bother Main aim of motion is to improve system for people in the middle who dont have a good idea where friends elsewhere in the ballot end up Old system works out fine anyway for some However, new system lessens the element of luck New system does give people the choice to pick rooms in a staircase by themselves if they want to stick similar to the old system This proposal is entirely hypothetical No guarantee that people will get into groups End result might be just like the old system anyway Groupmates not always likely to pick same type of room; different preferences Current 1st year is relatively cliquey New system might cause this to entrench itself even more come 3rd year Original proposer: Now tempted to retract motion having changed mind but happy to hear opinions Conclusion Motion not retracted, but amendment proposed by another SU member AMENDMENT To bring the number of people allowed in a group down from 10 to 4 Amendment taken as friendly Outcome Some opposition Motion put to vote Motion fails

C: Matters for Discussion 1. TORTOISES Proposed by Jen Wright Connie Bloomfield will kindly donate two Wadham tortoises (thanks Connie!!)
