% The other requirements Catherine has:
%
% - avoid large margins. She wants the thesis to use fewer pages,
% especially if it requires colour printing.
%
% - The thesis should be formatted for double-sided printing. This
% means that all chapters, acknowledgements, table of contents, etc.
% should start on odd numbered (right facing) pages.
%
% - You need to use the department standard tech report title page. I
% have tried to ensure that the title page here conforms to this
% standard.
%
% - Use a nice serif font, such as Times Roman. Sans serif looks bad.
%
% Other than that, just make it look good...
