3. Central office at Otakaari is named – Keto is the home of AYY members!

The central office will move from Lämpömiehenkuja to Otakaari 11 during October and November. Currently, the central office at Lämpömiehenkuja is called Lämppäri and Otakaari Service Point is called Otaniemi Service Point. Along with the removal, we wanted a new name for the entire facilities at Otakaari. The best suggestion was Lauri Lavanti’s proposal Keto. The abbreviation of the central office (keskustoimisto) is dry and concise enough, but you can still make jokes about it.

The new name is used in the design of visual looks and communications.

4. Junk bikes in Teekkari Village are collected on Fri, 1 Nov 2013

Dear residents of Teekkari Village,

this autumn we will carry out junk bike collection, which covers the entire Teekkari Village. All bikes (also the bikes in bike storage and bike sheds) are marked with pink paper bands with the text: ”I will go to the bin on 1 Nov 2013”. All bikes, which still have the paper band on 1 Nov, will be collected so please remove the paper band from your bike immediately. Official releases concerning the matter have been delivered to the notice boards/stairwell doors of all AYY buildings.

The aim is to collect unused junk bikes lying around from blemishing our beautiful living environment and taking space from bike racks. On 1 Nov, bikes with the paper band on will be collected to containers that are located in Otaniemi. After collection, bikes are restored for another three (3) months, in case that someone’s bike is among junk bikes by mistake. All collected bikes are documented and photographed. In this way, also misplaced bikes among junk bikes can be found easily and given back to their owners. After three months, usable bikes will be recycled and the ones rated as useless will be destroyed.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Village Senate: kylasenaatti@list.ayy.fi.

Kind regards, Village Senate ’13

5. Administrative manager is now responsible for AYY’s facility sector

AYY has reorganised duties in such a way that from now on Administrative Manager Johanna Pietiläinen is responsible for the organising of all facility issues. If you have any questions, comments or feedback concerning association facilities or facilities rented on a one-time basis, you can directly contact Johanna (johanna.pietilainen@ayy.fi; 050-5209434).

6. Craft room and living room in the village available for bookings again

The craft room of the village at Jämeräntaival 6 and the living room at Jämeräntaival 5 are available for bookings again. From now on, these facilities can be booked by AYY’s members in the same way as the facilities rented on a one-time basis.

Available hours can be checked in the booking calendar of facilities, which is available on AYY’s website, and you can make the reservation by visiting the service point, by phone or by filling out the facility reservation form online.

Both of these facilities are free of charge.

7. Apply for the board of the Fund for Promoting Teekkari Activities

The Fund for Promoting Teekkari Activities (TTE-Fund) operates within Aalto University Student Union. The purpose of the fund is to grant scholarships in order to promote the aspirations of AYY and its members and associations, awake and maintain interest in technical, scientific, economic and social issues, as well as cultural activities.

The board of the fund consists of four members appointed by AYY and three members appointed by the Guild of the Round Tower. The board members are elected for two years at a time and the chair is elected from among the persons appointed to the board by AYY. The board is appointed by the Representative Council of the Student Union. The board is responsible for the granting of scholarships based on applications, while managing the fund’s assets is the duty of AYY Board. The board offers its members a unique vantage point to student activities, as the fund’s opportunity to allocate grants is very significant on AYY’s scale.

Based on the resignation section, two positions in the board of the fund will become vacant at the end of the year, and we are looking for smart and versatile persons to fill these positions. Please fill out the application form by 4pm on 30 Oct 2013 and tell us why you should be appointed to the board. The secretary general confirms the reception of the applications after verifying that the attachments are readable. Applications should include a curriculum vitae and a personal view (the maximum of one page) on how the fund could best implement its duty. If you believe that you are suitable for the chairperson’s position, please mention this in your application. The board members are elected directly on the basis of applications.

9. New student print model to be introduced gradually

The new operation also reduces the amount of misprints.

At the first phase, new devices are available in the following locations in Arabia, Töölö and Maarintalo:

• Arabia, 5^th floor/art lobby, opposite the classroom 5003
• Arabia/6^th floor/classroom 6091
• Arabia/8^th floor/lobby
• Otaniemi, Maarintalo,1^st floor, lobby
• Töölö, Main Building, C-250
• Töölö, Main Building, C-332

New devices in the above-mentioned locations have already been introduced. Unigrafia’s service advisors present a new printing model and help with the registration of printing cards on campuses during the Smart Services fair on 29-31 Oct 2013.

Printing cards are sold at Unigrafia’s nearest service points in the centre of Helsinki, Vuorikatu 3, and Maarintalo in Otaniemi at Sähkömiehentie 3. In addition, cards are sold at AYY Service Point in Töölö, Runeberginkatu 14-16.

Halloped activities are very independent but, if necessary, there is a wide group of other students to support you. We will offer a short training session for student representatives at the beginning of the year.
