.... does not conform to the EECS thesis guide, as it is advertised.
There should be 10 points between the signature lines (with large
amounts of whitespace above the author's sigature), instead of a lot of
space between the author's signature and the thesis supervisor's
sigature.

Provided below are the patches to do this:
