Below is a transcript of what was discussed at the 9/17/98 Upsilon Pi
Epsilon meeting:

- Call to order and welcome to all prospective new members.  Please
remember that your $25.00 check is due to Dr. Knox at the next meeting.

- The Phone-a-Thon was discussed, as were potential times to hold the
event.  The second & third weeks of November are when we're shooting for
right now.  Dave will report back to us next meeting after he speaks to
our contact in Alumni & Development.

- A potential Y2K Lecture, given by Dr. Kubulis, was discussed.  Tim
Ferguson was nominated to take care of publicity for the event.

- Dow Jones expressed interest in donating equipment to UPE and the
Computer Science Club.  Tim Ferguson and Pat Belardo are currently working
on the committee with Dow Jones to discuss exactly what equipment we could
use.  Some ideas discussed were:
	
	- stand alone network
	- linux box
	- "true" multimedia machine
	- various other pieces of campus-unsupported hardware

Please e-mail UPE with any suggestions you might have to add to this list.

- The Practice GRE was discussed.  This is one of our major fundraisers
for the year.  As of right now, no one has volunteered for this project.

- Continuing in the tradition of having guest speakers address the group
and CS Alumni, we are planning another guest speaker for this year.
Christian Boehnke and Dave Nardone have volunteered to go to the ACM
website and find some potential speakers.

- The treasury report was delayed since there were nothing to report, as
SFB has not contacted us with our current budget.  Brice Behringer is
working on rectifying this situation.

- Ken Kolano volunteered to be the UPE webmaster.

- Erik Gorka and Craig Kapp are working on getting the faculty T-Shirts
produced.  Erik has done a great job so far in making sketches of the
faculty, but he still needs some quotes from each professor.  As of last
year, the volunteered quotes for each professor were:

	Dr. Knox: 	"Don't worry about your grades"
	Dr. Lee:	"Hello, are you there?"
	Dr. Neff:	"Thanks for coming!"
	Dr. Goldberg:	None
	Dr. Wolz:	None
	Dr. Anderson:	None

Please e-mail Erik (gorka@tcnj.edu) with any additional quotes you may
have.  Also, Dr. Knox, Erik still needs a picture of you.

- George Drayer and Greg Bronevetsky have volunteered to be our "fun"
committee.  Ideas such as "laser" bowling, regular bowling, and laser tag
were all discussed.

- Tim Ferguson volunteered to get more information on hosting a
programming contest for high school seniors.  He will be in contact
with Brad Coburn, who worked on the project last year.

- If you have done any CS research, and would like to apply for the UPE
scholarship contest, please contact Dave Nardone or Dr. Knox for more
information.

- There will be a programming contest at Marist College sometime later
this semester. If we decide to go, UPE will cover the entry fee.  If you
are interested, please contact Greg Bronevetsky (bronevet@tcnj.edu).
Permitted Languages are C, Pascal, and Java.

Our next meeting will be Thursday, October 1st, 8:00pm in HH253.

Hope to see you all there!
