UPE minutes 9/27/99 ------------------- Attendance-Kenneth Kolano, Christian Boehnke, Jordan Bollin, Brian Wendrzycki Old/New Business- Basketball Web Page: UPE has been contacted by the Men's Basketball Coach to create a TCNJ Basketball web page. If you are interested in lending a hand please contact Brian Wendrzycki at wendrzy2@tcnj.edu Fundraising: Tee-shirt Sale: Craig was supposed to stop by and let us know the final status from last year's tee-shirt sale. Unfortunately he wasn't in attendance, so we'll have to wait on that. On a side note it was discussed that we do a simpler, catchier shirt this year and that we make sure to more widely advertise it. Phone-a-thon: At our next meeting Marla Fisher from Alumni Services will be visiting us to discuss this years Phone-a-thon. It appears that we will be holding Phone-a-thon on November 10th, and 11th. We will be doing signups for this years Phone-a-thon at next weeks meeting as well. Other Events: UPE could sponsor a DJ or other event at the Rat. Assuming we could nab a good night we could easily net a good profit and also have a good time. UPE Who's That?: It was brought up that UPE is a very low profile organization on this campus. We would like to change this, if you have any ideas on how to get our name out let someone know and lets get on it. One idea brought up at the meeting would be a short Tech/Internet article in the Signal. UPE Career Day: Would you like to talk to some people from the real world, before you have to make the choice to join them? I know I would. We are going to try to set up some events with Alumni to speak about their experiences in that big scary place outside our campus. 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. This should be an exciting event for any computer person, and it's free. Plans will be made for car-pooling, etc. at our next meeting. Campus Speakers: Dr. Know was able to get in contact with a Dr. Edward Fenton from Princeton University. He is a key witness in the Microsoft Trial and an expert in Internet Security Issues. Additionally he has told us that he is willing to give a talk for the campus free of charge. TCNJ's Phil Sanders also is being contacted about giving a speech, on Multimedia and Computer Animation. In any case our speaker event needs to be fleshed out so more details shall follow. Membership: We will be giving CS students who are newly eligible to UPE invites to next weeks meeting. This means two things-1. It's party time, we will be having Soda, Chips, and other goodies for next weeks meeting so come and get it. 2. Everyone should do his or her best to make it to the next meeting so UPE looks like something these possible inductees actually want to join. 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. -Ken
