MINUTES -- UPE Tuesday, Oct.1 ELECTIONS -- We elected officers for this year's term, and boy were there some heated competitions! Here are the results... President -- LJ Caruso Vice President -- April Ullery Secretary -- Jennifer Giordano Treasurer -- Mike Krantz Public Relations -- Ed Paul/ Erik Clavijo Congratulations to all of the new officers!! ADVISOR -- We discussed who we would like to be our advisor for the year, being that Dr. Wolz is on sabbatical and really shouldn't be made to have advisory duties. LJ said that Dr. Knox would be the most helpful and geared toward a professional/graduate attitude, but that she is also extremely busy this semester. So, if she says it's too much, we're going to ask, or rather beg, Dr. Anderson and hope that she is sympathetic to our cause! MEETINGS -- Since only half of the members attended the meeting yesterday, we would like to come up with a better time to meet. We also decided on meeting bi-weekly. THE GOAL -- To develop programs to benefit Upsilon Pi Epsilon members, the Computer Science department, and the entire campus. THE FUTURE -- We discussed several great ideas about the future, including: writing a constitution, becoming a recognized organization and, thus, receiving funding from the student finance board, having fundraisers, getting speakers to come to talk about computer science, getting pins or stickers for our cars that say UPE, etc, etc... LJ has a lot of great ideas, and hopefully we'll get this organization in gear as soon as we can!
