[committee] Headphones for club machines

So the consensus at the cleanup was that having speakers on each
machine is more trouble than it is worth. I agree: it's not done
anywhere else where there are lots of computers and for good reason,
it's just really annoying.

Audio is a pretty significant part of computing though, so I suggest
we get some clubroom headphones for our seven high-use machines
(cybium, cobbler, pitch, velvet, arctic, chas' machine and my one).
These would come in very handy come O-Day when we get a lot of
freshers in. Nothing assimilates freshers like gaming. Altronics have
headphones for $14 that look okay here:

The total cost to the club would be $98, and I'd be willing to put in
$14 for the first one. Perhaps we could do another fundraiser.
Thoughts?
