The letters in BFC stand for Brute Force Committee and not, as most Eng Sci Flrosh think, Bemoulli-Fourier Convolution. Apart from antagonizing Flrosh during orientation, the BFC has many duties. They are to: glorify the Engineer , drink Beer, ensure security at ENO SOC events, drink Beer, and perform Capers (see definition). By the way, did I mention that we drink a lot of Beer? ! The mythical, wholly denied, and amazingly non-existent BFC. It does not exist, has never existed, and will never exist. Please eat this page when finished reading. (CHE Ms may dissolve it in HC1).

This year ' s Professional Development Committee saw a lot of action on all fronts. The committee sent some of the largest delegate contingents in its history to a variety of wild and productive conferences. In company with this, we all watched as the Prof Dev budget expanded beyond our wildest dreams ( and Tom Mahut ' s wildest nightmares). The RESSA and APEO Conferences were completely successful and saw the birth of a provincial council of Eng Soc ' s called ESSCO (Engineering Societies Sued for Crimes of Obnoxiousness ) . In November, the committee proceeded to send eight people to the CCES meeting in Quebec City. Here, we completed the business begun in the previous year and spent the week fighting hard battles of politics and principle (Wayne lost his battle with a bottle of Tequila). As if this wasn’t enough, we were able to send 10 groups, encompassing 20 people to the OEDC in Guelph. It ' s extremely difficult to give full justice to all the things we did in this short space , but let it suffice to say that the Prof Dev Committee had a hand in a great many significant events this year, and provided many people with rewarding experiences as well as good, reasonably clean fun. Professionalism and Tequila! Jeremy Bateson I
