MINUTES - January 27th, 1998	

- Programming Contest

We are still planning on hosting the Programming Contest this semester.
Hopefully more details soon.

- Alumni Event

We will be sending a letter to the Alumni about the Alumni Event soon.
Dave and Jim volunteered to write the letter.  We also plan on calling the
Alumni after the letter has gone out (February/March) to invite them via
phone as well.

- Career Services - on campus recruitment

Career services is concerned with the minimal activity among CS majors
with their on campus recruitment program.  They plan on having a sort of
question/answer session on Feb 18th at the Career Services building.  More
details (including the exact time it will take place) shortly.

- Fundraising

We plan on sponsoring a Practice GRE again this semester since it has been
a successful fundraiser in the past.  Jim, Clay, and Brad agreed to chair
it.  

We also are hoping to come up with new ideas for fund-raising.  Victoria
suggested someone designing a t-shirt that we could sell for profit.  Any
other ideas people have we please ask you to notify Dave Watkins about
them.  The more money we have, the more fun things we can do!

- Treasury Report

Treasurer Jim reports that we have aobut $360 in our budget.  We will most
likely use this to fund the Alumni event and maybe an end of year picnic.
SFB grants us:  $200 for to speakers (probably at the Alumni Event), $10
for office supplies, and $50 for scholarships.

- Open floor

Dr. Knox recommends that UPE should do something fun, rather than just
having meetings/fundraisers all the time.  Any suggestions?

Dr. Knox reminded us that we should be thinking about any students who are
now eligible to join UPE.  Usually the CS secretary Beverly Dash computes
the GPAs for us.

Also, Dr. Knox said we should send thank you notes (or reminder notes) to
those alumni who have sent in the money they pledged at the phone-a-thon
or have yet to do so.  
 
- Announcements

The next meeting will be held in Holman Hall 253 at 8:00pm on Tuesday,
February 10th, unless otherwise notified through e-mail.
