UPE minutes 9/27/99 ------------------- Attendance-Kenneth Kolano, Christian Boehnke, Avani Patel Old/New Business- Fundraising: Tee-shirt Sale: The tee-shirts should be updated to show the recent changes in faculty, possibly moving Dr.'s Goldburg and Lee to a separate "Memorial" section. Phone-a-thon: Phone-a-thon went very well last year and we were honored by Alumni affairs to have our pictures taken. This year Phone-a-thon would occur the 2nd week of Nov. we need to get some membership behind this if we want to do this again. Credit Card Apps: I received an email offering us the opportunity to do credit card applications like you've probably seen a million times in the student center. The thing is we would receive 5$ per application. Even if just some club members filled out apps we could easily make 25-50$ and much more if we did sit in the student center. Prudential: I received mail from Prudential asking if we would like to set up some kind of partnership between them and us. I still need to get in contact with the guy from Prudential but what's the worst that could happen we all graduate and get high paying jobs at Prudential :) ACM SIGGRAPH-Princeton Chapter: The Princeton Chapter of the ACM will be having its first meeting Thursday, Oct. 28 at 8pm at the Sarnoff Research Center on Route 1. Look at http://pascal.waco.org/~princetonacm/mtg9910.html for more details. We are considering going as a group to the meeting. ACM Contests: Anyone interested in doing the ACM programming contest should talk to the CS club/Eileen. It's usually a fun day out and you get free stuff like tee shirts, and software. Campus Speakers: Our campus speaker events are probably the only reason the school gives any kind of budget so we need to get on this for the semester. Avani is going to talk with Phil Sanders from the Art dept to see if he or someone he know could talk on Computer Graphics/Animation Membership: This topic was supposed to be about handling getting the new eligible candidates out for us, but turned into discussion of where the heck our current members were! Show up for stuff! Please. Web Page: Last year I was in charge of the UPE web page. But do to time concerns its kind of gone to pasture. If anyone is interested in being Web master for the UPE page let us know. Treasury: Brice or Treasurer is no longer able to hold the position. Anyone who would like to volunteer for the highly esteemed position of Treasurer let us know. Other stuff: In order to facilitate discussion/fun/etc. some ideas of stuff for us to do this year were brought up including but not limited to: Peer Tutorials (on Perl, Java, HTML 4.0 CSS, etc); Group discussions; WWW Link Collections; a "Demo" show (with one of those sweet projectors) -Ken
