UPE Minutes :   10/25/99

1)  Introductions:  Everyone introduced themselves and stated their least 
favorite class (any class with Shoulson, Discrete, and Linear Algrebra).

2)  SIGGRAPH:  The local ACM chapter is having a showing of Computer Graphics 
items shown at SIGGRAPH this year in LA.  It's this Thursday, October 28, 1999,
8 PM @ the Sarnoff Research Center on Rt 1.  If anyone needs a ride or can 
drive, email UPE.

3)  T-Shirt Sale:  This has been put on hold.  Currently in process of 
refunding money from last year.  

4)  Phone-a-thon: Marla Fisher from Alumni affairs gave a talk about the 
Phone-A-Thon.  The Phone-A-Thon essentially involves calling Comp. Sci. alumni 
and asking for donations and if they would like to come to the college and 
give talks.  Marla mentioned that it is a good networking opportunity (for 
possible internships). Part of the money made (25%) at the Phone-a-Thon will 
go directly to the Computer Science department for scholarships and awards.  
The Phone-A-Thon is on Tuesday Nov 9th and Wednesday Nov 10th from 6-9:30.  A 
session on calling stategies will be held on Monday Nov 8th before the regular 
UPE meeting Volunteer for however many hours you can.  Come early and have 
pizza, soda and snacks.  

5)  The Computer Science Department webpage needs updating, they have asked us 
to volenteer some time to redesign it.  The page should be lynx readable.   
The department is looking for candidates to fill positions in the department 
and a well-organized page would be helpful.  It would only require a couple 
hours of work over the period of a month.  If interested contact Dr. Knox.  

6)  Dr. Wolz contacted UPE about anyone interested in helping out a Trenton 
area tutoring program.  They have Macs/PCs and need software installed, and 
machines fixed.  Also they are looking for anyone interested in tutoring 
Trenton area kids.  Contact sweyer@bellatlantic.net if interested.

7)  We are still looking for possible speakers to give a talk this year.  

8)  The Political Science Club is organizing tables to give freshman advice 
about classes and professors.  If interested email UPE.

9)  New members need pay the $25 fee ASAP.  Checks can be made out to Deborah 
Knox.  Her office is 239 Holman,  office hours are Tues 12:30-3PM.

10) If anyone is interesting in the ACM programming contest, contact UPE.  
Teams have been made but there is still a need for one more team member.

11) The UPE webpage needs a webmaster.  All it requires is a few updates every 
couple weeks, but someone willing to to a total overhaul would be apriciated.

12) We finally found our Treasury statment. We have $42 for advertising and 
$100 for a campus event (Our campus speaker).
